Mix of the Old and the New on Sunday!

Puppy power shines early on and a couple of veterans got back on track in the later stages of the card.

Up first was another impressive youngster from the Lester Raines Kennel. Never Can Tell is from an exciting litter and even though it was just a maiden victory, she did it in a big way. She bolted straight to the early lead and left the field in the dust by 7 lengths as she posted up a comparable grade A time in the process at 30.95 seconds.

Not to be outdone Skiddy Button from the Pat Collins Kennel showed that she has some chops as well. Similar to her young counterpart, she beat the box too and took early command of this grade A effort. Holding tough thruout, no one gained on her and she coasted to the easy victory in 30.82 seconds for her first grade A win.

The veterans got their chance later as Dirty Picture closed from way, way, way off the pace to drive home to the slim win in the 11th race. Big effort from this greyhound and the outside post had much to do with this win today! Coming from 6th at the far turn to win by 2 lengths, no that is tremendous.

Saving the best for last, in the 15th race Hallo Triple A finally woke up. In the lead this greyhound is tough and that is just where he found himself in the early stages. He rushed best to the 1st turn and never looked back. He continued to build his lead thruout and was 6.5 lengths better than the rest of the field at the finish line.
