Sizzlers Spirit Tribute Without doubt a champion, Sizzlers Spirit gave all connected with the kennel plenty of fun and thrills in a glittering hurdles career. Check out his last victory, winning a 2011 Champion Hurdle semi-final heat shortly before his career was sadly cut short through injury.The post-race interview pays a fitting tribute to a game and talented greyhound. |
Pigalle Star Licks The Lollie A veteran sprinter with an almost unrivalled wins to runs ratio at Romford, Pigalle Star came to the kennels late in her career.In this featured race, just a month short of her fifth birthday she was unconsidered in the betting ring against the legendary Jimmy Lollie.But the sprint champ fluffed his lines at the start and was unable to peg back the kennel’s talented sprinter – live on Sky August 2011. |
Rathglass Hero’s Coral Coronation Cup King for a day… or maybe longer. Rathglass Hero shows top class opposition the way home in the 2012 Romford Coral Coronation Cup. Whilst better fancied runners failed to break well, and then suffered from traffic problems, ‘Dave’ pinged the lids clear of the trouble behind before staying on to clock a very respectable time. There’s no disguising the joy of all concerned in the interview. |
