BB Treetop Lover breaks Wheeling 3/16th track record

BB Treetop Lover has raced his name into the Wheeling record books.

            On Wednesday afternoon, April 1, the Lester Raines Kennel 330-yard super sprinter broke the 3/16th track record when he stopped the clock in 16.50 seconds. Breaking from the five box, BB Treetop Lover grabbed an early lead and never looked back in posting a 2-length victory in a Grade TAA race.

            The old mark of 16.65 was set by JS Cowboy Joe (Lester Raines Kennel) on Aug. 2, 2025.

Before JS Cowboy Joe set his mark, another Lester Raines greyhound, Atascocita Santo, and UBX Crackereater (Xtrem Hess Racing Kennel) shared the record with a 16.74 time.

BB Treetop Lover, a May 2023 greyhound out of Shima Shine-Hope’s Triumph, is trained by Joel Roden and owned by Suzanne Blair and Brian Platz.
