< Back PBKC PRESENTS ROUND-THREE ACTION IN THE $50,000 JAMES W. PAUL 3/8THS MILE DERBY Feb 18, 2020 West Palm Beach, Fl. – After an exciting set of second round qualifiers, round-three action for the 89th and final running of Palm Beach Kennel Club’s $50,000 James W. Paul Three-Eighths Mile Derby takes place Wednesday afternoon, February 13. Four qualifying races will be held, with the top 16-point earners advancing to the semifinals Sunday afternoon, February 23. After two rounds of qualifying, only one entry has a shot of entering the semifinals undefeated, Koppe, Staats & Collins Kennel’s Pat C Snickers (Pat C Clement – Pat C Deception). A quick look at the round-three qualifiers: Race 10 : This event features three athletes who drew in favorable post positions, #1 O Ya Praire Wind (Oya Stan The Man – O Ya Chewie, Lester Raines Kennel), #6 JD Android (JD Titanium – Allisonracinteam, Brindle) and #7 Buyusumnewshoes (Superior Panama – Joy Giovanni, Rader Racing). All three have already secured a spot in the semifinals, but it is important to build up that point total to be guaranteed a slot in the finale. Race 12 : There’s no doubt that the fan favorite will be #7 B’s Cappuccino (SH Avatar – Oaks Mocha, Janie Carroll). Sandwiched between the slow slowest breakers in the race will give Cappuccino a clear shot at garnering the early lead. Race 14 : The post-time favorite appears to be #3 Slatex Beretta (Flying Fired Up – Slatex Albany, Janie Carroll). With two of the race’s slowest breakers to her immediate right, Beretta should be able to outrush the competition to the first turn. However, keep a keen eye on #2 NB’s Bloodsister (Trent Lee – NB’s Classic Cat, Royal Racing Team) who has a legitimate shot at getting loose early. Race 15 : This contest features the only undefeated Derby entry, #4 Pat C Snickers , and in actuality, this could be the easiest field she has faced in qualifying. A crisp and clean break most likely will lead Snickers to the semifinals with a clean record. Post time for the first race Wednesday afternoon is 1:00 p.m. The $50,000 James W. Paul 3/8ths Three-Eighths Mile Championship final will be contested Saturday afternoon, February 29, and is one of the nation’s longest-running stake events. The Derby is named in honor of humanitarian, greyhound owner and dedicated supporter of greyhound adoption James W. Paul. Previous Next

< Back Pup Giveaway Results Jim Gartland Oct 28, 2024 Another successful pup giveaway culminated with three lucky winners being drawn during Thursday night ceremonies at the Hall of Fame during the recent fall meet. The first pup offered was donated by Kevin Fulton and was won by Paul Taylor of San Tan Valley, Arizona. Paul is the proud new owner of a brindle male pup out of Superior Panama-FGF Janet whelped in August of 2023. The second drawing of the night was for a female pup out of Lonesome Cry-RPG Black Ice whelped in February of 2024 and donated by Gus Cerino. The pup was won by Stephanie Barnes of California. The final pup given away on the evening was another female from a September 2023 litter out of Gigawatt-Flying Targaryen. This pup was offered for the giveaway by Marcia Davis. She was won by another Arizona resident, Trish Cescolini of Cave Creek. We would like to thank Kevin, Gus and Marcia for their generosity and congratulate the winners. We would also like to thank all those who donated to this great cause which raised over $7,000 for the Hall of Fame. Previous Next

< Back AVATAR PASSES AWAY Jim Gartland Aug 24, 2021 We are sad to report that superstar SH Avatar has passed away. The nation's leading sire and all time leading money earner had been living the life of a pet at the home of former trainer, Darren Flahive in Kansas City. Over the last few weeks he had developed some lumps which turned out to be cancerous. Bob Hardison relayed that "his age and advancing condition all but eliminated any surgical possibilities and it was clear he was beginning to suffer, so we (Bob, Tom Sugihara, Toye Cole and Darren) decided to have him euthanized." He will be missed but his legend and progeny will carry on for many years. Avatar was recently selected for induction into the Greyhound Hall of Fame. That ceremony will take place at this year's fall meet. RIP to the legendary SH Avatar. Previous Next

< Back SH AVATAR SLATED FOR INDUCTION INTO HALL OF FAME Jim Gartland Jul 22, 2021 Superstar sprinter, money earner, and stud, SH Avatar, was the lone nominee to receive enough votes for induction into the 2021 class of the Greyhound Hall of Fame. SH Avatar was whelped May 13, 2010, and is owned by Tom Sugihara Jr. and Robert Hardison. He was whelped and raised on Hardison's farm in Iowa and later moved to Tom Sugihara's farm in Colorado to finish out his training. He is out of Kiowa Mon Manny-Tom S Caterwaul and is recognized mostly for being the highest money-winning greyhound in the history of the sport in North America. It is very unlikely that his record of $740,328 in earnings (which does not include his supplemental Iowa-bred award monies) will ever be eclipsed. That feat alone would validate his enshrinement, but there is much more to Avatar than just the money. Avatar began his career in 2012, breaking in at Melbourne, where he notched a near-perfect 10-1-0 record in 11 starts. Two of those victories were in track record times. From there, it was time to "move up" and head to Bluffs Run where he would finish out his career competing for the Hardison Kennel. He would capture the 2012 $500,000 Iowa Breeders Classic and his year end record at the Bluffs would be 24-7-5-5 in 49 starts. Extra honors included being named Greyhound Of The Year at Bluffs, as well as earning a spot on the 2012 All-America team. 2013 would prove to be an even better year. He finished third in the $60,000 Bluffs Run Open, third in the $60,000 Secretary’s Choice, and once again captured the $500,000 Iowa Breeders Classic. He was track champion at Bluffs with a record of 33-7-9-2 in 55 starts. He became the first and only greyhound to repeat outright as Greyhound Of The Year at Bluffs—this time by a unanimous vote (the only greyhound in Bluffs history to do so). He was also named to his second All-America team. Avatar retired late in 2013 after suffering a shoulder injury with a career record of 115- 67-15-14-7. He managed to hit the pay sheet in an incredible 89% of his starts and won nearly 60% of all his races. Taking into account his career earnings record, every time Avatar broke from a starting box, his average paycheck-per-start was $6,491! Probably another industry record. While his stellar racing career and purse earnings are the primary reasons Avatar was submitted for selection, his sire career makes his nomination all the more impressive. Avatar has produced many outstanding offspring—so many, in fact, that he captured the 2020 Sire Standings Championship. And he did it by his offspring garnering nearly twice as many wins as his second place rival (which was last year’s inductee Djays Octane). He is currently on top of the 2021 standings as well. These days, Avatar is living the life of a king—on the retirement couch of his former trainer Darren Flahive in Shawnee, KS. Congratulations to Bob, Tom and everyone involved with SH Avatar on this great honor! Previous Next

< Back STIDHAM CHARGES DOMINATE IOWA BREEDER'S CUP Nov 12, 2020 There definitely was a family feel at the top of the board in the final of the Iowa Breeders’ Cup at Iowa Greyhound Park. JD Elegant, JD Eminence and JD Eclectic finished first, third and fourth. “What a dynamite litter,” said Brian Webb, trainer for Stidham & Brindle Kennel. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime litter. Besides these three, there are two others in grade A.” The trio are from JD Titanium and JD Bombshell, whelped Oct 12, 2018. They also were the top three qualifiers. In the final, Elegant, who has hit the board in 24 of 27 races and has won five of six, broke on top from the 7 box, ahead of her littermates and Slide Off. She held a short lead entering the first turn and slowly pulled away for a five-length win in 31.63. “There was a little jam behind her,” Webb said. “Once she gets the lead, she’s tough to run down.” Boeckenstedt Kennel’s BGR True Grit, from Boc’s Hank Jr. and Boc’s Destiny, overcame a slow start with a strong rush but was unable to overtake Elegant, who has 12 wins this season. Last year, the Stidham & Brindle entry, JD Revelation, lost by a nose to a hard-charging Revin Devon. The brindle from Copper Kettle Kennel reached the final again, finishing sixth. “We lost by a nose last year,” Webb said. “This year we were definitely ready. It’s a fantastic way to end the year.” Elegant paid $8, $3.40 and $2.60. The victory also held special meaning. “This was a big win for Jon (Stidham, owner),” Webb said. “He’s never won this one. The win is dedicated to his mom, who passed away this spring.” The purse is estimated at $229,000. The winner receives 40%. The remainder is broken down by order of finish: 20%, 10%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5% and 4%. In the consolation race, BGR J Capt Quick broke well and never trailed to grab the title. “Getting the one-hole was key,” said Phil Stapleton, trainer. “He wants the inside.” He held firm to the rail and pulled away for a 3-length win. “Once he got around the turn he was able to get control,” Stapleton said. The red male, from Djays Octane and Boc’s Sweeney, posted a 31.37. He has hit the board in 26 of 32 races and paid $10.20, $6.20 and $3.20. T’s CaptPhasma placed, BGR Goingoingone showed and Babinov fourth. The consolation race purse is $7,500, with $3,000 to the winner. The remainder is based on order of finish: $1,500, $750, $600, $525, $450, $375 and $300. Previous Next
