< Back NO MORE SHOOT('IN) THE BREEZE Sep 28, 2020 “I miss him.’’ Randy Floyd couldn’t hide his feelings about Shoot The Breeze, who left Derby Lane recently for the more lucrative purse structure at Southland Racing in West Memphis, Ark. Shoot The Breeze represented the past and present for Floyd and wife Patti, who operate one of the 14 kennels at Derby Lane. He became their first win champion in 13 years at the January-to-June meet, and his dam – Danicas Go Daddy – provided many fond memories for the Floyds, who raced her at the Florida West Coast track from 2010-13. “Shoot The Breeze was just a nice dog,’’ Randy Floyd said. “He didn’t bother anybody. He wasn’t playful. . . more or less, all business. “He just came out and ran. When we broke him in, I didn’t have any idea he was going to turn out to be this good.’’ Shoot The Breeze was better than good. He developed into Derby Lane’s fastest athlete on the 550-yard course. In the January-to-June meet, the 35-month-old son of track record holder Trent Lee possessed seven of the top 10 times – highlighted by a 30.00-second clocking on Feb. 19. From Jan. 29 to Feb. 22, Shoot The Breeze won a career-high six consecutive races with times ranging between 30.00-30.19 seconds. He won those races by a combined 45-1/2 lengths. “He was cooking then,’’ Floyd said. Shoot The Breeze finished the meet with 15 victories from 24 starts, denying 2019 All-America sprinter LK’s Crush N It of Lashmet kennel a potential record-setting third top-dog meet title in a row. He edged LK’s Crush N It by one win. When owner Charles Haliburton sent his standout greyhound to Southland Racing, Shoot The Breeze departed with a four-race win streak - including an 8-length romp in his final start on Sept. 15. The 84-pound speedster won 29 of 49 races at Derby Lane, and finished third in a pair of stakes races: the $64,000 Sprint Classic on Feb. 29, and the $18,000 1925 Historical Inaugural on Jan. 4. “It was fun to watch him, even though I wasn’t (trackside),’’ Floyd said. “When I left the kennel, I could watch him with Patti on the computer. “He doesn’t break that much anymore, but he rushes down to the turn. And then once he gets around that turn, it’s like, “Forget it, you’re not going to catch him.’’ The previous Floyd greyhound to claim a meet win title was Hometown Boy for the then Floyd & Porter kennel in the January-to-June campaign in 2007. Hometown Boy captured his top-dog title with 18 victories from 28 starts, finishing three wins ahead of runner-up Brady Thomas, also a Floyd & Porter athlete. Hometown Boy owned one stakes title: the Sprint Classic in 2007. He made history in that event by becoming the first dog in the 45-year-old Sprint Classic to complete an undefeated series with four qualifying victories and the title win. Only one other dog has achieved that since: LK’s Crush N It in 2019. Hometown Boy raced from 2005-08, and won 54 of 126 races with $64,072 in purse earnings. He also holds the 550-yard record at Tampa Greyhound Track with a clocking of 30.01 seconds. Shoot The Breeze has impeccable breeding. His sire, Trent Lee, set the Derby Lane 550-yard record with a clocking of 29.59 seconds in 2006. Danicas Go Daddy competed in stakes races at Derby Lane for the Floyds, and won 32 of 172 starts from 2010-13. “Dogs like Shoot The Breeze come along very rarely,’’ Floyd said. “A lot of times, they run so had that they break themselves down. They’ve got one speed, and that’s it. “I was proud of (Shoot The Breeze’s win title). I can’t eat it. I can’t spend it. It’s on paper. But yeah, it was nice.’’ Previous Next

< Back $64,000 SPRINT CLASSIC THIRD-ROUND RESULTS Feb 24, 2020 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The chips are on the table in the $64,000 Sprint Classic at Derby Lane. Not surprisingly, LK’s Crush N It of Lashmet kennel and Shoot The Breeze of Floyd kennel possess the biggest stacks. As the 550-yard series enters its fourth and final qualifying round on Wednesday, both standout sprinters have already gained spots in Saturday’s championship race. And greyhound fans will receive a possible title preview, when LK’s Crush N It and Shoot The Breeze meet in Race 10 (9:47 p.m.) – the second of two qualifying races on the Wednesday evening performance. Both sprinters are undefeated after three rounds in the Sprint Classic following solid victories this past Saturday. Shoot The Breeze, a 28-month-old son of Trent Lee and Danicas Go Daddy, cruised to a seven-length victory in 30.19 seconds. He paid $2.80 to win. It was Shoot The Breeze’s lifetime-best sixth consecutive victory for owner Charles Haliburton. He is trained by kennel operator Randy Floyd. LK’s Crush N It registered a five-length triumph in 30.28 seconds and returned $2.60 to win under trainer Ken Deacon. The 38-month-old male from a litter by LK’s Now R Never and LK’s All In won for the fifth time in a row for breeders and owners John and Jill Lashmet. Shoot The Breeze and LK’s Crush N It each have 48 points, 14 more than third-place performer LK’s Santorini of Lashmet. The point co-leaders have been dominant in the series, which pays $25,000 to its champion. Shoot The Breeze has won his three races by a total of 21 lengths; LK’s Crush N It’s combined win margin total is 15-1/2 lengths. Shoot The Breeze drew box 2 for his final qualifier, while LK’s Crush N It starts from post 4. Other starters with points in Race 10 from the rail: Flying Benelli (10), LK’s Pick Me Up (24), Where U Want Me (18), O Ya Hot Rod (25), Paco Lopez (15) and Ryeit (26). The field with points in Wednesday’s other qualifier in Race 6 (8:39): SE’s Punisher (14), Braska Rebel (12), BD Wells (28), O Ya Smack Down (24), Son Shine (20), LK’s Santorini, KB’s Twisted Tex (11) and Super C Casino (29). Eight greyhounds with the most accumulative points after Wednesday advance to the title race. LK’s Crush N It has four stakes victories, all in 2019. He finished fourth to LK’s Santorini in Derby Lane’s most recent stakes race, the $18,000 1928 Historical Inaugural on Jan. 4. Shoot The Breeze was third in that event. “I guess it wasn’t meant to be,’’ Floyd said after the Inaugural had been completed. It was Shoot The Breeze’s first stakes appearance, and the finale represented only his 21st lifetime start. Shoot The Breeze has clocked times of a meet-best 30.00 and 30.07 seconds in his first two Sprint Classic qualifying races. Last year, LK’s Crush N It joined 2007 champion Hometown Boy of Floyd & Porter kennel as the only greyhounds to win the Sprint Classic with perfect records of four qualifying wins and a victory in the title race.

< Back ANOTHER FALL MEET IN THE BOOKS Jim Gartland Oct 24, 2022 A competitive stake race and a better than expected auction sale highlighted the 2022 NGA fall event. The NGA offered another stake race at the fall meet following the success of the Sunflower State Sprint this past spring. The race, tabbed The Abilene Shootout, was open to meet eligible pups who had paid up an initial entry fee last July and then made final nomination and entry fee payments the Thursday prior to the meet. When all was said and done, 35 pups were entered for the initial round. First round winners then went head to head in the stake final on Thursday while 2nd and 3rd place finishers from Monday made up the Flite I and Flite II of the second and final round. Nineteen different ownership interests were represented in the stake. Leading the way were Shannon Henry and Ray Wong each having four spots in the qualifying while Paul Bitterman, Terry Haber and Jaws Racing followed with three each. Vinny Savill, Jill Lashmet, Jason Hess, Steve Sarras, David Hays and Jay Rangel all had two entries while Joe Fusaro, Lynn Bunn, Mike Strickland, Shelby Rangel, Carl Tomblin and Monte Jacobs all had one spot. Six first round winners made up the final and included TS Frisky and TS Fe Fe owned by Carl Tomblin and Nicholas Sarras, XM Fire Cracker owned by Jason Hess and Mike Carroll, JL's Wise Guy owned by David Strong, Stars Align owned by Cameron, Wildey and Blanchard and WW Midnight Oil owned by Jaws Racing. Ana Mendiola handled the Jaws entry, Tracy Wildey ran Stars Align and David Strong handled the rest of the field off of his farm. In the end, Jaws Racing swept stake competition with WW Midnight Oil dominating the final in a nine length romp, WW Allstar Ally capturing the Flite I by eleven lengths and WW Dream Path getting up by a nose to win the Flite II. XM Fire Cracker picked up 2nd in the championship with Stars Align finishing 3rd. Jaws Racing (Julia Ward-Veal) was the top seller at the auction totaling some $213,750 in sales including the meet's top seller, WW Light Spirt, who went for $26,000. Abilene Shootout Stake winners, WW Midnight Oil, WW Allstar Ally and WW Dream Path went for $10,250, $12,500 and $5,500 respectively. 2022 NGA Fall Auction Stats Pups Consigned: 46 Sold: 40 Buyers: 17 Total: $351,500 Average: $8,787.50 Online purchases totaled $29,550 Previous Next
