< Back RADER RACING KENNEL’S “AUGGIE DOGGIE” AUGUST DAWN WINS PALM BEACH KENNEL CLUB’S $20,000 DICK ANDREWS FUTURITY! Jeff Prince Dec 31, 2019 West Palm Beach, Fl. – Sometimes you know who will win a race a few seconds after the starting box opens. Sometimes you find out the winner as the result of a photo finish. In the twenty-second running of the $20,000 Dick Andrews Futurity, it may have taken about three seconds after the race began that you knew who the championship blanket would be placed on. When the starting box opened, it was August Dawn breaking on top and extending his lead to the first turn. As written in the summary of the final, “If August Dawn breaks alertly and garners the early lead, there will be no catching him.” Now comes the surprises. GV On A Quest , the longest shot on the board at 37-1, outbroke her inside competition and reached the rail, outgunning the undefeated qualifying finalist, RF Oka . As the finalist raced into the final turn, Atascocita Jarta , going off at 17-1, found room on the inside and secured her spot as the third-place finisher, behind GV On A Quest . Rounding out the Superfecta was the hard-closing finalist Skiddy Hotrod , who himself went off at 34-1. August Dawn was victorious by three lengths and traversed the 545-Yard Royal Palm Course in a speedy time of 29.79 seconds, returned a healthy $19.60 to the delight of his supporters. The newly-crowned champ collected a cool $10,000 for his impressive box-to-wire victory. The complete order of finish: 1st – 6. August Dawn (Kinda Cruel Red – SG’s Phil Niekro, Rader Racing) 2nd – 3. GV On A Quest (KC And All – GV Jewel Quest, James Douglas) 3rd – 5. Atascocita Jarta (Gigawatt – Atascocita Deja, Suncoast) 4th – 7. Skiddy Hotrod (Dutch Magic – Skiddy Flicker, Lester Raines) 5th - 2. Buyusumnewshoes (Superior Panama – Joy Giovanni, Rader Racing) 6th – 1. Skiddy Hack (Dutch Magic – Skiddy Flicker, Lester Raines) 7th – 4. RF Oka (Chasmo’s Dutch – Superior Megryan, B & B Racing) 8th – 8. Dennis Moment (Kinda Cruel Red – SG’s Phil Niekro, Rader Racing) The Futurity is named in honor of former PBKC kennel operator, humanitarian and 2004 inductee to the Greyhound Hall of Fame Dick Andrews.

< Back ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SPRING MEET Jim Gartland May 9, 2023 The 2nd edition of the Sunflower State Sprint was run during the 2023 spring meet. The race was open to meet eligible pups who had paid up an initial entry fee last January and then made final nomination and entry fee payments the Thursday prior to the meet. All in all 19 greyhounds went to post for first round qualifying. 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. Jaws Racing placed a trio in the Sprint final including WW Payday, WW Mad Jack and WW No Romeo . The three were pitted against pre-race favorite, David Strong's Booker Dano . Dano grabbed the early lead jumping to a two length lead WW Mad Jack cleared in second, while WW Payday and WW No Romeo chased in 3rd and 4th. WW Mad Jack steadily closed ground on the leader, took over the lead by the stretch turn and pulled away to a four length win in a speedy 29.55, the meet's fastest time. Booker Dano maintained the place spot running 29.85. Payday and Romeo finished third and fourth respectively in 30.13 and 30.15. David Strong came right back grabbing the win in the Flite I with a littermate to Booker Dano.
