< 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 FALL MEET STILL ON TRACK Jim Gartland Sep 28, 2020 Despite a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in the Abilene area, the NGA fall meet is scheduled to go on as planned with pre-meet schooling beginning this Sunday, October 4. Some 10 new cases of corona virus popped up in the Dickinson County area over the last two weeks forcing the closure of schools in Abilene and nearby Chapman as well as several area businesses. No new cases have been noted in the last few days, however, and no new mandates have been put in place by the City or County (a proposed mask mandate was tabled by the City Council last week). While no new guidelines have been issued, Abilene remains under some restrictions and we would encourage anyone planning on attending the meet to be prepared see "masks required" areas as well as the need to practice social distancing at certain indoor functions (Hall of Fame, etc.). On a lighter note, this meet will see the return of the Hall of Fame Golf Tournament. The tourney is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13 at 10:00 AM and will be held at the old Abilene Country Club. Entry fee for the tournament is $50 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, cart and lunch at the course. If you are interested in playing, please let someone in the NGA office know as soon as possible so that we can make the proper arrangements with the course. It has been a lot of years since we've had a golf tourney and we would like to make this a big success for what will likely be that last organized NGA tourney as well as to raise some funds for the Hall of Fame! First round racing action takes place on Monday, October 12 with the finals on Thursday. The fall Auction will be held at the Hall of Fame on Friday at 9:00 AM. There will be two nights of inductions at the Hall of Fame; Tuesday night we will have regular HOF inductions with Wayne Strong and Djays Octane receiving the honors. Thursday night will be the presentation of the All American, Rural Rube and Flashy Sir awards which were held over from the spring meet. Looking forward to seeing you all! Previous Next
