< Back Double trouble as CG's Nail Biter and CG's Maggi capture NGA's Best Of Awards Jim Gartland Mar 4, 2025 With less racing opportunities, no real stake programs, and a much smaller pool of competitors, the NGA awards singling out the best of the best at each distance took on a new look in 2023. Historically labeled the Rural Rube and Flashy Sir awards, in 2023 honorees were simply tabbed as America's best sprinter and router. That tradition continues in 2024 and two Tri State racers from the same kennel and owner have been chosen as recipient's of the awards for this past year. CG's Nail Biter and distance star, CG's Maggi have been named as recipients of the two awards and will be honored at ceremonies during the spring meet on Thursday, April 17. A 2021 son of Jax Yardley-CG's Lady Bug , CG's Nail Biter finished with 36 wins for the year easily making him the top winning greyhound in America. He finished out of the money in only three of his starts all year. He had win streaks of 5, 7 and 8 (twice) over the course of the season and was easily chosen as the Best Sprinter for the year. He would finish the season with a 50-36-6-2-3 record and was also named Captain of the 2024 All Star team. Owned by Janice Abrahamson, Nail Biter was raced by the Abrahamson Kennel at Tri State . A much deserved award for this fabulous sprinter. Congratulations to Janice, and all the connections of CG's Nail Biter ! CG's Maggi was an almost unanimous choice for the best distance dog in the land award finishing the year with 14 wins (12 distance) at Tri State despite missing the last three months of racing. Moving to the backside in late March, she immediately went on a tear, winning nine of her first twelve starts including the $65,000 West Virginia Breeders distance stake. Maggi is a January 2022 daughter of CG's October-Jax Freida. She is owned by Janice Abrahamson and raced for the Abrahamson Kennel at Tri State. She finished her abbreviated racing year with a record of 37-14-4-3-6. Congratulations to the Abrahamson operation in sweeping the "Best Of" awards for 2024! These two will be honored at the awards ceremonies program at the Greyhound Hall of Fame on Thursday night, April 17, during the NGA's Spring Meet. Previous Next

< 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
