KILLER KEANE-(Keane) 29 RACES 7 WINS
Dog June 2005
Droopys Kewell-Lindy Lou
Owner: Mr J Keane

Injury forced this high class and pacey dog into early retirement
after only 29 races. He won opens at Wimbledon, Monmore, Walthamstow and Yarmouth where he reached the East Anglian Derby Final finishing fourth behind Blackrose Mars and now is back with owners John and Anne Keane enjoying his retirement.

MARATHON GIRL-(Dawn) 28 RACES 6 WINS
Bitch Augsut 2005
Premier Fantasy-Cill Dubh Dawn
Owner: Mr P Vernon

Gutsy little bitch who went from A8 up to A2 at Walthamstow winning a maiden open but tragically was badly injured in a race and was unfortunately put to sleep which, as this week's review of past and present greyhounds shows, is a sad part of the sport.

RATHER RAPID-(Rapid) 13 RACES 3 WINS
Dog September 2005
Top Honcho-Kinda Sleepy
Owner: Messrs Badger, Crouch and Johnson

Litter brother to Genesis Dream and Like Hot Cakes and another who sadly was put to sleep after a serious injury in a race at Walthamstow. His 3 wins included an open over 640m and a 28.83 for the four bends and he looked likely to win plenty of opens.

CENTAUR CAPPO-(Cappo) 50 RACES 13 WINS
Dog October 2005
Top Honcho-Cool Hand Louise
Owner: JAKS Partnership

Good genuine race dog who has won plenty of staying races including S1's and opens at Walthamstow, Romford and Hove. Now with Brian Clemenson he will be suited to the galloping Hove track and should win plenty more.

RONNIES CALLUM-(Callum) 53 RACES 17 WINS
Dog August 2003
Knockeevan Major-Fine Fantasy
Owner: Mr R Davis

On his day a brilliant hurdler around Walthamstow and after a bad
injury he came back to win opens again before a wrist injury ended his career.

MOUNTJOY GOLD-(Ace) 15 RACES 4 WINS
Dog November 2006
Brett Lee-Star of Dromin
Owner: Mr P Canavan

Potential top class pup who has won opens at Walthamstow and Hall Green reaching the semis of the Gymcrack. From the first litter of the Queen of Walthamstow Star Of Dromin 'Ace' could be a nice prospect for next year's Derby. British bred and should go well in this year's Produce Stakes at Hall Green.

EYE ONTHE BRAVE-(Fella) 18 RACES 1 WIN
Dog October 2006
Ballymac-Maeve-Ballymac Minnie
Owner: Mr J Keefe

Incredible that John Keefe's brindle has recorded only one victory having finished third in both the Gymcrack at Hall Green and the Puppy Derby at Wimbledon in his career to date. Surely a dog that will improve his strike rate and will look to attack the major competitions next year.

KING JACKSON-(Jacko) 21 RACES 2 WINS
Dog September 2006
Top Honcho-Droopys Nectar
Owner: Hancock family

Early paced son of Top Honcho 'Jacko' has finished second and third plenty of times and could do with turning them into wins but time is on his side . Looks suited to Harlow and may well improve as a 2 year old for the Hancock family.

BEE MY HONEY-(Honey) 16 RACES 2 WINS
Bitch September 2006
Top Honcho-Droopys Nectar
Owner: Mr N Elmer

Litter sister to above and has a couple of nice wins at Walthamstow to her name for owner Nick Elmer. She looks quite strong over the six bends but could also get the eight bends in time.
