< 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

< Back LK'S CRUSH N IT UNABLE TO MAKE HISTORY Jun 30, 2020 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – LK’s Crush N It failed in his bid to made history on Tuesday, the final day of the January-to-June meet and last performance of the 2019-2020 season at Derby Lane. Needing a victory to tie Shoot The Breeze of Floyd kennel to become what is believed to be the first greyhound in Derby Lane’s 95-year history with three consecutive top dog titles, LK’s Crush N It broke slowly from the No. 5 box as the 1-2 favorite for Lashmet kennel and finished fifth behind FGF Kiss My Tail of Watson Racing kennel. FGF Kiss My Tail clocked the 550-yard course in 30.68 seconds and paid $11.80 to win for the Grade A win. LK’s Crush N It, a 3-1/2-year male from a litter by LK’s Now R Never and LK’s All In, finished the six-month meet with 14 victories, one behind Shoot The Breeze, who captured his first win title for kennel owners Randy and Pat Floyd. Shoot The Breeze is owned by Charles Haliburton. Trained by kennel manager Ken Deacon for owners John and Jill Lashmet of Eaton, Colo., LK’s Crush N It had won the previous two meet win championships with a combined 50 victories, which led all greyhounds nationally in 2019. LK’s Crush N It, a 2019 All-America first-team member and five-time stakes champion, has 78 lifetime victories and more than $134,000 in purse earnings. Lester Raines led the 14-kennel standings in victories for its first win title since 2010 under the guidance of Jennifer Richardson and Anthony Diaz. Lester Raines entered Tuesday with an insurmountable 195-174 win lead over ABC Racing. The January-to-June meet was reduced to 131 performances after 49 programs were lost because of the coronavirus pandemic. No racing was held from March 20-May 7. Derby Lane racing secretary Les Robison said all 14 kennels remain on the roster for the upcoming six-month meet, which kicks off Wednesday with a 15-race matinee performance. 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 PBKC PRESENTS ROUND THREE ACTION IN THE $50,000 HE'S MY MAN CLASSIC Jan 13, 2020 West Palm Beach, Fl. - Palm Beach Kennel Club presents third-round action for the $50,000 He’s My Man Classic Wednesday afternoon, January 15. Following two rounds of point earnings, the original field of 56 hopefuls has been reduced to 32 athletes, all willing and eager to make it to the top 16. Three Greyhounds will enter round three undefeated, the early speedster Mister Red Rader , strong first-turn rusher Arkans Vega and the most impressive of pups, Sarahdipedy . Match ups on Wednesday afternoon’s stake-qualifying card include: Race 10 features the undefeated qualifying entry, #7 Mister Red Rader (Flying Titanium – Rip N Runnin, B & B Racing). His main competition to keep his three-race win streak alive will be the well-posted #1 Gettin The Money (Offfthebrakedrake – Goodluck Topaz, D. Q. Williams) and the two strongest closers in the race, #6 Arkansbdtxdinoco (Golden Squire – Arkans BD Cheeks, Royal Racing Team) and #8 Lonesome Jones (CTW Base Camp – Blazin Booty, Rader Racing). Luckily, Red Rader drew right between the event’s slowest breakers, which should allow him to get the early lead. The bigger the better! Race 12 features two-round winner #7 Arkans Vega (Atascocita Grey – Asteria Drive, Royal Racing Team). There is no doubt she is racing her career best. Her main competition appears to be the well-posted early-speedster #1 Oshkosh Noisy (Oshkosh Lamont– Oshkosh Vani, James Douglas), round-two victor #2 Pat C Inferno (Flying Fired Up - Pat C Pop In, Koppe, Staats & Collins) and #3 Flyin Artistry (Barcelona Boss – Fly Sarah Palin, Rader Racing). In Race 14 , all eyes will be on the undefeated youngster #8 Sarahdipedy (Superior Panama – Joy Giovanni, Rader Racing). Her round-two victory came from the same eight box and the way the field is set up, cannot see any reason she won’t enter the semifinals with a clean qualifying record. The final qualifier of the afternoon, Race 15 , features several entrants who drew great post positions, including round-two victor #1 Flying Road King (Kiowa Myth – SE’s Hiway Doll, Rader Racing), round-one winner #3 Pat C Dewdrop (Kiowa Myth – Pat C Whereby, Koppe, Staats & Collins) and #8 Go Bon Jane Doe (Barcelona Boss – Go Bon Wego, Royal Racing Team). The top sixteen-point earners following Wednesday’s third round will advance to the Classic semifinals Sunday afternoon, January 19. The elite eight will move on the finale of the $50,000 He’s My Man Classic Saturday afternoon, January 25. The $50,000 He’s My Man Classic is the first event in Palm Beach Kennel Club’s $150,000 “Big 3" Stakes series, which includes the $50,000 James W. Paul 3/8ths Mile Derby (Saturday afternoon, February 29) and the $50,000 Arthur J. Rooney, Sr. St. Patrick’s Invitational (Saturday afternoon, March 14). The Classic is named for Palm Beach Kennel Club racing legend and the track’s first multimedia sensation He’s My Man and dedicated to the man who raised and trained “Roscoe”, Bill Pappas.
