The COUNT is BACK!

After a four month layoff one of the all time great greyhounds on the Jacksonville Racing Circuit is back!

Coming this Saturday matinee, 2009 second team All-American, multi-stakes winner and finalist, Count Ivan will be back on the racetrack and ready to take on the competition.

I know it has been awhile since you have heard his name, but let's refresh your memory a bit. The COUNT has track record speed in the open and almost set one as he won the finals of the 2009 Jacksonville Sprint Classic. Ivan also won the 2008 Jacksonville Juvenile and started off last year with a run of 11 wins in a row.

In the 2009 campaign, COUNT won 33 races and that was more than any other greyhound at the racetrack. What is even more impressive is that he missed little over a month in the middle of the year.

The COUNT can win from any post at any time and if the mood suits him, he can make it really ugly for the rest of the competition.
So tune into the 7th race on the card in the matinee on Saturday April 17th at the Orange Park Kennel Club to see the return of royalty, COUNT IVAN!
