Hawk swoops to glory

Maireads Hawk took the scalp of the highly rated Longwood Fantasy last night when taking the Ladbrokes.com 480 in a very tidy 28.19. This dog is a serious greyhound and just needs a bit of luck going round the first bend of a race. Fingers crossed this victory will get him back on track to his very best.


Our first winner of the night was Sids Champ who was well supported by his connections as he took the A4 in 28.54. No doubt the 4 3/4 winning margin will result with a move up the grades. They can't be many better starts to careers at Monmore than Doobys Gone West. Doobys made it three wins from his first three starts as he showed some rapid early pace to take the second A4 in 28.70.


Despite not winning on her first three starts Solid Merlot didn't let the step up to A5 stop her recording her first victory. She was quickly away from traps and took the contest in 28.88.
