< Back CG's Nail Biter named Captain for 2024 NGA All Star Team; Burninmoney and Sun Storm repeat as All Stars Jim Gartland Mar 4, 2025 Tri State win leader CG's Nail Biter , has been voted Captain of the 2024 NGA All Star team. The annual naming of an All-America team dates back to 1963, but the format changed somewhat last year, as a result of far fewer eligible greyhounds and less racing opportunities. This year, the program pays tribute to some of the top greyhounds racing in West Virginia as voted on by the NGA's Board of Directors. Others named to this year’s All Star Team include: DD Florence , CG's Sun Storm, TNT Tarzan , JSP Burninmoney, CG's Reactor , FF Vespa and TR Hill . Heading up the team is it's Captain, CG's Nail Biter (Jax Yardley-CG's Lady Bug) who was the win leader at Tri State and compiled a 72% win clip while finishing in the money 94% of the times he raced. He led the nation in wins with 36 and closed the year on and eight race win streak. He would finish the season with a 50-36-6-2-3 record and the well earned title of Captain of the 2024 All Star team. DD Florence (Oya Stan The Man-LK's Alexis ) led all greyhounds in wins at Wheeling in 2024 compiling a record of 61-23-9-8-6 despite missing a month of racing. She competed against the best, running with AA competition nearly the entire year. She managed to finish in the money 46 times in her 61 starts racing at the highest level over the 2024 racing season. A super sprinter joins the team for 2024 as TNT Tarzan (Djays Octane-SE's Nekoma), a 3/16ths specialist from Wheeling and the youngest member of the team, found his groove over the shorter distance and picked up 22 wins and 45 in the money finishes in 52 starts, with all but ten of those coming at the 3/16ths distance. After switching to the shorter distance in May, he quickly reeled of five straight wins and put together a couple of other nice win streaks along the way, earning the 2nd most wins at Wheeling. The 4th member of the team is another Wheeling sprinter, FF Vespa (Atascocita Gray-FF Biscayne). He finished the year with a 57-19-9-10-4 record including a couple of three and four race win streaks. The 2nd youngest All Star, Vespa was a force throughout the year racing against the best at Wheeling. His 19 wins were good for third best for the year at Wheeling and he finished in the money in over 73% of his starts. CG's Sun Storm (Jax Yardley-CG's Lady Bug) receives national honors, once again, making his 2nd All Star team in as many years. Storm had another phenomenal year winning 22 races in just 29 starts between starts at Tri State and Wheeling and accomplished this despite missing three months of racing! He missed the pay sheet on only two occasions and joins two littermates, CG's Nail Biter and CG's Reactor, on this year's squad. He ended the year with a 29-22-4-1-0 record. Another returning member to this year's All Star team is JSP Burninmoney (Show On The Road-Gonz Mani), who battled injuries throughout the year and still managed to win 16 races. Missing nearly four months of racing limited the star to just 31 starts, but a couple of three and four race win streaks and consistent efforts throughout propelled him to a 77% in the money finish clip. The oldest member of this year's team, Burninmoney finished with a 31-16-4-3-1 record at Tri State. Wheeling's TR Hill (Konomi-JW Jamaica) makes this year's team off of a stellar season where he compiled a 56-17-15-9-7 record. Climbing back into AA in late February, he would never drop out of top grade contention for the rest of the year. His 57% quinella finishes and 85% in the money stats, put him near the top in the country in those categories. He had two, 3 race win streaks that helped his totals but consistency was the key to his All Star credentials, missing the pay sheet only eight times over the entire year. The final member of the team is from Tri State and joins two other littermates on the team. CG's Reactor (Jax Yardley-CG's Lady Bug) was a 19 race winner at the Charleston oval while finishing on the pay sheet 83% of the time. During a stretch from March 7th to July 26th, Reactor finished out of the quinella in only three races, running third in those efforts. His record for that period was 18-9-6-3 while compiling a masterful 42-19-9-6-1 overall record for the year. These eight representing the team and will be honored at the Greyhound Hall Of Fame awards ceremony on Thursday night, Apr. 17, during the NGA Spring Meet in Abilene. Previous Next

< Back CET BARRACUDA WINS WVGOBA JUVENILE Stan Pawloski Sep 13, 2022 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. Previous Next

< Back HELL BENT'S FAST START EARNS SPOT IN WHEELING HISTORY Stan Pawloski Aug 7, 2023 NOTE: August marks 47 years of greyhound racing at Wheeling. In conjunction with the anniversary, this column will feature articles related to the track’s history. Today, greyhounds reaching Grade AA undefeated during their careers are highlighted. Heading into the 2023 racing season at Wheeling Island, 29 greyhounds had climbed the ladder straight to Grade AA after winning their Maiden debut. Now there’s 30. The latest to accomplish the feat in the 47-year history of Wheeling Downs/Island is Xtrem Hess Racing Kennel’s Hell Bent. The youngster won his first Maiden race in early June before capturing Grades D, C, B and A in successive starts. An August 2021 greyhound out of Konomi-Liz Cambage, Hell Bent is trained by Jill Spicer and owned by David Strong. He finished fourth in his first Grade AA trip. Of those 30 greyhounds, nine went on to capture at least their first start against Grade AA company. The first Wheeling greyhound to go straight to Grade AA undefeated was Royal Onyx in 1978, winning his first five starts – Maiden and Grades C, B, A and AA. The last racer to accomplish the feat before Hell Bent was JS Wanna Bee in 2020, capturing her first five races – Maiden and Grades D, C, B and A. The Wheeling record for most victories in a row to start a career is 12 by Kiowa Sweet Trey in 2001. The sprint star won Maiden, Grades D, C, B, A and seven in Grade AA. Kiowa Sweet Trey broke the mark of 10 straight career-opening wins by Onie Reid in 1985-86. Onie Reid was victorious in Maiden, Grades C, B, A and six in Grade AA. Although Kiowa Sweet Trey and Onie Reid are regarded as two of the best greyhounds to ever grace the Wheeling oval, most of the racers who reached Grade AA undefeated weren’t superstars. It’s a rare feat as only 30 greyhounds have turned the trick since the track opened on Aug. 18, 1976. Following are the nine greyhounds who raced straight to Grade AA undefeated and then won at least their first top grade start, year accomplished and number of career-opening victories: Kiowa Sweet Trey – July through December 2001; won 12 in a row; Maiden, D, C, B, A, seven in AA. Onie Reid – December 1985 thru January 1986; won 10 straight; Maiden, C, B, A, six in AA. Final Vote – June 2013 thru July 2013; seven wins; Maiden, C, B, A, three in AA. Itsa Screamer – November 1998 thru December 1998; six wins; Maiden, C, B, A, two in AA. AMF Bone Bruise – April 2009 thru May 2009; six wins; M, D, C, B, A, AA. Slatex Johnny – November 2003 thru December 2003; six wins; M, D, C, B, A, AA. Soul Cipher – December 2000 thru January 2001; six wins; Maiden, D, C, B, A, AA. Iruska Zederiah – January 1999 thru February 1999; five wins; M, C, B, A, AA. Royal Onyx – May 1978 thru June 1978; five wins; M, C, B, A, AA. Following are the 21 greyhounds who climbed the ladder straight to Grade AA, but did not capture their initial top grade race, year accomplished and number of career-opening victories: Hell Bent – June 2023 thru July 2023; five wins, Maiden, D, C, B, A.

< Back 2023 WVGOBA JUVENILE SPRINT STAKE Patricia Saul Mar 27, 2023 GF Straight One, out of Heather Lomax Kennel, captured the title of the 2023 $35,000 WVGOBA Juvenile Sprint Saturday evening at Tri-State. During the qualifying rounds, GF Straight One had three straight wins and placed 5th, totaling 36 points to qualify. Racing from the 1 box, GF Straight One broke fast for the early lead and never looked back to achieve his box-to-wire win in 30.32 seconds. With GF Straight One breaking on top and no dog going to the rail, it left a lot of room for the slow breaking 2 CET Negan. While CET Negan got to the first turn 6th, he stayed on the rail, and after a bit of bumping of some of the other dogs, he found himself 2nd heading down the backstretch and finishing a closing 2nd. The 7 CET Daryl, while last early on, stayed on the outside and out of trouble in the early going. He started making a long steady drive down the backstretch and kept picking off dogs one by one. CET Daryl finished a closing 3rd by 3 1/2 lengths. Rounding out the order of finish were GLS Daisy Dot (JS Kennels), 4th; GF Steel Horse (Heather Lomax), 5th; JA’s Henry Ford (Abrahamson), 6th; JA’s Dupont (Abrahamson), 7th; and Coach Hatfield (Double G), 8th. GF Straight One, out of Dodgem By Design and Imark Red, is owned by Thomas M or Paulin Salem and trained by Betty Lomax. Previous Next

< Back WW SLICK SIMON CAPTAINS 2020 ALL-WHEELING TEAM, LS LUV IT THREE-PEATS Stan Pawloski Feb 17, 2021 Wheeling Island win champion WW Slick Simon has been selected captain of the 2020 all-Wheeling team. The Wayne Ward Kennel sprinter, owned by Jaws Racing and trained by Ron Otto, won 17 races last year in a season cut short by three months by the coronavirus pandemic. WW Slick Simon is the kennel’s first track win champion since it was booked at Wheeling in late 1999 . WW Slick Simon, an April 2017 greyhound out of Kiowa Producer-WW’s Polished, came to Wheeling Island in early 2019 after opening his career at Southland Greyhound Park. He was the consensus choice to head the 10-greyhound team. For the first time since the all-Wheeling honors were launched in 2009, a greyhound has earned a spot on the team for three straight years – Blanchard Kennel’s L’s Luv It. The sprinter was recognized in 2018, 2019 and now 2020 for her accomplishments. The recently retired L’s Luv It captured 46 races in her last three years and made the final of the $100,000 Mountaineer Classic Sprint Stakes every season, finishing third in 2018. In addition to L’s Luv It, two other greyhounds on the 2020 team are repeats from last year – Lester Raines Kennel’s JS Drinkmepretty and Jacobs Racing Kennel’s JSK Roulette. Three kennels placed a pair of greyhounds on the 2020 all-Wheeling team – Craigie Pirate and JS Drinkmepretty, Lester Raines Kennel; JS Go Flex and JSK Roulette, Jacobs Racing Kennel; CTW Tira Misu and TNT Free Falling, Patriot/Taplin Kennel. Rounding out the 2020 all-Wheeling team are BGR Big Al, Brad Boeckenstedt Kennel; and CG’s Penny Shoe, Abrahamson Kennel. The all-Wheeling team was selected by local greyhound historian Robin Reed and Pawloski.
