Our talent spotter has been working really hard of late and has managed to secure the brilliantly bred young puppy Dixies Craft who has produced some outstanding staying displays in her short career to date.
Only a Feb 10 whelp, in her very 1st race of her life she showed tremendous pace after getting bumped in running to come from behind to win in 29.35.
In her 2nd last race at Limerick, she was racing against much older and more experienced opposition. Drawn in 5 - she showed 'massive' all round pace. Turning 2nd at the sprint boxes she and the 4 dog pulled 10 lengths clear of the rest of the field.
In her third run this classic young stayer just failed to win where she was beaten 1/2 a length in a quite brilliant time of 28.75, on the run to the pick up which is another 150 yards this champion young puppy was gone 3 lengths clear.
Dixies Craft is undoubtedly classically bred, her dam Hondo on Air is a 1/2 sister to the brilliant Barnfield on Air (one of the fastest dogs ever seen on a race track) .This is also the exact same dam line as Lenson Joker (The Cesarewitch winner, Grand Prix winner - The UK Greyhound of the year 2008 ), Elwick Chris (The Laurels winner), Boherna on Air (Gold Cup winner Monmore - 27.86 - sire of Unreal Timmy)
Dixies Craft comes from a major open class litter, her 2 litter brothers were sold for 5 figure sums, Boherna House (29.01 Thurles and a flying 16.17 at Clonmel), Aero Prince (29.46 Kilkenny) and Dixies Air (28.96 Limerick)
Make no mistake Dixies Craft is going to develop into one top open class stayer, not many greyhounds her age are able to record 28.80 around Limerick.
We look forward to her arrival at Westview Kennels and is available to a new or existing owner.
