< 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 RAINES/HOOPES "KEPT HOPE ALIVE" IN HOUND MADNESS STAKES Shane Bolender Apr 12, 2021 And then just one remained. Trainer Monte Hoopes had a chance to make it an “all Lester Raines” championship race in the “Hound Madness” Stakes finale on Friday evening, but super pup CRAIGIE DELEGATE was bested by PAT C RAM ROD (Gloria Dorsey Kennel) in the semi-finals. He kept hope alive though with a fast little female named appropriately, JS KEEPHOPEALIVE as she bested ALADDIN (A Ray Kennel) to set up not only your typical one on one matchup, but a male versus female gender duel as well. After dodging most of the thunderstorms in the area up until the 13th race championship, the contest occurred under a “fast track” with only some spurts of light rain occurring. While most of the betting money was placed on PAT C RAM ROD, the crafty 60 pound red fawn female used a quick burst from the #6 post position to grab a quick two length lead entering the first turn. As it turned out, she would need almost the entire length of that early lead at the finish line. PAT C RAM ROD was known to have a tremendous late kick and most everyone thought he had enough to catch just about anyone. That started becoming apparent entering the far (and final) turn as the early lead nearly evaporated as the duo entered the homestretch. As simple as it seemed, one easy move made by JS KEEPHOPEALIVE proved to be a championship winning move. The speedy girl kept tight to the inside part of the track while PAT C RAM ROD floated a bit towards the mid portion of the track. That brief pad to her lead helped her survive her rival’s late rush again near the wire. She won by a mere neck worth of distance, or three hundredths of a second. It was enough to earn Monte Hoopes and the Lester Raines Kennel the first stakes race championship of the season and her backers at the pari-mutuel windows doubled their money on her as an extra treat. JS KEEPHOPEALIVE is owned by Shannon Henry and Lester Raines. Previous Next
