MONDAY THE 8TH OF SEPTEMBER
A nice day and a bit cooler I’ve been to the hospital just to get my bloods done on the way back I collected a brood from Cuddy’s stood. At the kennels we are having hounds checked we have a brood had pups, nine by The Other Kobe and the mother is Swift Wriggle we need a whole loads of bits and pieces for maintenance work so they will be collected after lunch and we are doing a swap around with mother and pups. On this weeks Greyhound Star British performance of the week we have one hound on the list Swift Depot at Yarmouth.
TALEN FROM THE GREYHOUND STAR
There is a very similar story at Yarmouth where the track is probably running 20-30 spots quicker than it was even a couple of years ago. None of which should take anything away from the track record performance of Swift Depot in the opening round of the Click Competitions East Anglian Derby.
John Mullins’ runner, who started out in A5, has arguably been the most consistent top local performer in the last year and his 27.10 run represented a four-timer. In reality though, it would be a surprise if he retains that record when the final field have crossed the line next Wednesday, by which time the track may have seen its first ‘sub 27′.
