CET BARRACUDA WINS WVGOBA JUVENILE

Favorite CET Barracuda completed a sweep of the $35,000 West Virginia Greyhound Owners and Breeders Association Juvenile by capturing the championship final Friday afternoon, Sept. 23, at Wheeling Island.

Racing out of the Imark Kennel and trained by DiAnn Derr, CET Barracuda rolled through the qualifying round races with three straight victories by a combined 12 ½ lengths. The sprinter was the only greyhound to make it through the early rounds undefeated.

In the final, CET Barracuda broke a close second to Arroyo Roxanne. The pair raced side-by-side around the first turn and down the backstretch before CET Barracuda took control near the far turn.

CET Barracuda held off a fast-closing CET Tiger Boy (Steve Sarras Kennel) in the homestretch – winning by a length in 30.24. Arroyo Roxanne (Code Red Kennel) settled for third.

Completing the order of finish were CET Sashaligotti (Steve Sarras Kennel), fourth; CET Moto Moto (Steve Sarras Kennel), fifth; CET Fernando (Imark Kennel), sixth; CET Marlin (Imark Kennel), seventh; and Mac’s Monreaux (A Ray Kennel), eighth.

CET Barracuda, a December 2020 greyhound out of Superior Panama-MRL Bail Me Out, is owned by Carl Tomblin II.
