Time for Rolex to break the Crayford curse? Dazl Rolex will be attempting to break the a long standing Crayford hoodoo with an attempt on the Ladbrokes Kent St.Leger which gets underway on Sunday. No greyhound has ever won the elusive Crayford eight bend double Jacket/Kent St. Leger though many have tried over the years. Only one trainer has come closer than Mark Wallis who had beaten Jacket favourites Antigua Fire and Bo Shine Bullet both then go on to win the Leger. For Jimmy Fenwick, the situation was reversed having seen Bellmore Sally win the 2022 and 2023 Golden Jackets only to finish r ..read more

Judgement Night is coming The six teams have been assembled for the Premier Greyhound Racing sponsored Judgement Night at Hove on Saturday. Rated by most of the leading trainers as one of their favourite nights of the year, either under its new title or previously as the ‘Trainers Championship Night’ this fixture has also created huge interest among industry enthusiasts. It would be unfair to pick out any particular anticipated clashes, but there are some absolute crackers in there. The draws will take place at Hove on Wednesday afternoon and will be broadcast on-line. Hove Racing Manager Rob ..read more

It is a dilemma who to choose at Hove between the two KSS runners, Queen Joni winning her fourth Cat One in the Brighton Belle and kennelmate King Memphis who went 28 spots quicker. The decision is Joni – just, maybe, probably.   While great credit to Kilwest Ranger in landing the ARC Laurels for Tony Harmes, the Perry Barr selection has to be Darley DIglake who was quicker on the night having been unluckily eliminated in the early rounds of the prestige event. That is seven wins in his last nine for the British bred hound.   We are also passing over the KAB Maiden Derby winner Jayt ..read more

Space Jet won four. Aayamza Royale won four. Queen Joni has now won four Category One competitions after winning the 2024 Coral Brighton Belle at Hove on Saturday – and she won’t be two and a half until the summer. The KSS Syndicate’s amazing home bred bitch went to traps for just the 24th time for win no.18 and this is how she did it. https://greyhoundstar.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Queen-Joni-Brighton-Belle.mp4 Assistant Trainer Rab McNair said: “What can you say about her? She always turns up when necessary. As I watched the race I saw Dusty come away and I knew that she would give ..read more

A week after ex-Yorkshire flapper Richard Wales landed the Grand Prix at Sunderland it was the turn of the Red Rose independent lads to get their hands on a trophy with Kilwest Ranger taking the £12,500 ARC sponsored Greyhound Laurels for that for former Chester regular Tony Harmes. Ranger went to traps at 9/2 for the Perry Barr decider having started the year in D2 at the same track. The son Droopys Sydney and Ballymac Sanjose was never headed after taking a flying break from trap six. He was pursued throughout by favourite Jet Stream Angel who would hold on courageously for second though *t ..read more

Crazy to oppose Jaytee On all known form – and an ideal draw in red – it is impossible to opposse Paul Hennessy’s Jaytee Craze for this afternoon’s KAB Maiden Derby Final. With ‘known form’ that includes a 28.14 run for Shelbourne’s 525 yards and a 29.53 victory over the Dublin 550 course, Craze’s running style suggests he will relish every one of the 500 Towcester metres. Whether he can trap as well as he did in last week’s semi is pure speculation though four and a half length runner-up Miami Bullet is the second fastest qualifier. 4/7 Jaytee Craze, 5/1 Miami Bullet, 13/2 Garfiney Blake, 14 ..read more

Neither the Coral Brighton Belle or the Coral Puppy Trophy started out with the prestige that they now command. The bitches event originally carried a £1,000 winner’s before becoming a Cat 2 competition in 2001. The £2,500 winner’s prize remained unchanged for 20 years before gradually creeping up. Betsys Bullet was the first £10K winner. The track has been rewarded for its commitment with a final that would do credit to an English Oaks and ‘the Belle’ now stands as an equal alongside the Olympic, Sussex Cup and Regency as a major event in its own right. The Coral Puppy Trophy – which became ..read more
