KING SHEERAN moved himself in contention to succeed the kennel’s King Turbo as British Bred Greyhound of the Year as he landed a second major title in the BGBF British Bred Derby at a very wet Sheffield on Tuesday. Already winner of the Produce Stakes and a Derby semi-finalist, King Sheeran also moved himself into GBGB Greyhound of the Year reckoning with the Coral Olympic, starting at Hove on Saturday, now very much on the agenda. Trained by Liz McNair and owned and bred by Brendan Keogh and the KSS Syndicate, King Sheeran lined up as one of three finalists [...]

There will be an exciting and festive feel to the BGBF Derby Final on Tuesday with the three Kings going for gold, but they do have some decent opposition, in the form of another pair of brothers, John Sharp’s Sharpys Pluto and Sharpys Rocket, April ‘17 pups by Viking Jack out of Malls Pet – Viking Jack of course was the sire of last year’s BGBF Derby winner, Viking Jerry.

King Dylan was marginally quickest on a brilliant night for Liz and Rab McNair, and the owning KSS Syndicate, as they landed all three semis of the BGBF British Bred Derby over 500m at Sheffield on Tuesday. Sent off a hot 1-2 favourite for the opening Semi Final, King Dylan enjoyed plenty of space on the rails on the run up then got inside early leader Westcot Norman to assert off the second. Drawing clear with every stride, the February 2017 son of Eden The Kid and Skate On came home almost five lengths to the good of Sharpys Pluto [...]

BGBF British Bred Derby – First Round Review

By admin|2019-11-28T13:50:52+00:00November 28th, 2019|Categories: News|Tags: BGBF Derby|

Excitement after the first round of the BGBF Derby has been tempered slightly with the news today that Liz and Rab McNair’s King Turbo picked up a tendon injury during the race and will be retired, after a fantastic career. Winner of the Towcester Gold Cup, the Gold Cup at Monmore, the Kent Derby and the Olympic at Hove in 2018, then the Winter Derby at Hove early this year, his record sort of gives the lie to those who still say he was 'only good for British Bred races'! Would he have got to the Final, or even won, [...]

By admin|2019-11-22T21:47:47+00:00November 22nd, 2019|Categories: News|Tags: BGBF Marathon, Saving Sonic|

Saving Sonic landed the spoils for trainer John Mullins in a fantastic buckle for the 2019 BGBF British Bred Marathon at Romford. It was the Mark Wallis trained Passing Stranger who led into the opening bends from Saving Sonic who followed closely behind. Pulling away along the far side, the pair never saw another rival as they went toe to toe for 750m of the Romford circuit. Passing the finish line for the first time only a length or so separated the pair, moving along the far side Saving Sonic was edging ever closer. He showed great track craft to [...]

Signet Hawk produced another top class sprinting performance to land the £4,000 to winner, BGBF British Bred Sprint at Harlow for young trainer Luke Morrison. The brilliant brindle son of Ballymac Vic and Dorotas Irena broke level and showed great early dash to power his way into the lead as they approached the opening turns, just in front of the fast starting Rogue Gangster. Holding a great rails pitch he forged round the turn, with bunching outside behind him, he was left clear to power home to a very fast 14.66 victory by three and three quarter lengths from Queen [...]

After two brilliant Semi Finals at Harlow this evening, we now know who our six finalist will be to line up in the BGBF Sprint Final next Wednesday. The Luke Morrison trained Signet Hawk followed up his opening round victory with another big performance to land the honours in the opening semi final. Slowly into stride he made good ground into the opening turn to close on the early leader, Sneezy Raven, turning out the second turn he made his rails position count to full effect as he hit the front. Pulling away to the finish line, he led home [...]

We saw four top sprint contests in the opening round of the BGBF Sprint at Harlow on Wednesday where it was local runner, Moors Dingo, who set the standard. The opener went the way of the Luke Morrison trained, Signet Hawk. The son of Ballymac Vic and Dorotas Irena was soon in control as he paced up well to the bend. Leading comfortably throughout he crossed the line three and a quarter lengths in front of Trouble Maker and Rogue Gangster in 14.84. The second heat saw Moors Dingo record the fastest time of the opening heats as he led [...]

Romeo Rumble – BGBF / Nottingham British Breeders Stakes Champion

By admin|2019-10-22T14:16:02+01:00October 22nd, 2019|Categories: News|Tags: Romeo Rumble|

Romeo Rumble, trained by John Mullins, produced a sensational performance to land the BGBF / Nottingham British Breeders Stakes Final at Nottingham on Monday. Sent off a friendless 12/1 shot, the striking brindle bred and owned by David Firmager, made a mockery of the large odds as he produced a performance worthy of the brilliant £7,500 first prize on offer. Breaking smartly and holding the favorite, King Sheeran, into the opening turn, the powerful son of Rumble Impact and Fabulous Pin was always going to be tough to reel in off the front. King Turbo and Down To The Felt [...]
