One of the fastest young pups in Ireland this year joins Westview for sale

Down through the years Galway track has been the launching pad for many major open class racers and category one event greyhounds the likes of Skywalker Ace, Burnpark Champ, Skate on yo name just a couple/

Last Thursday night a new superstar burst onto the Irish racing scene. Only an October 2011 puppy, Laoises First left racegoers gobsmacked with his massive all round pace.

Racing in a £2,000 competition he rocketed from traps to record a 3.26 sectional, simply in a different league,  he raced clear of his all age race winning opponents showing massive backstraight pace to pull 8 lengths clear by the 3rd bend. He then flew home to win by 10 3/4 lengths in a quite brilliant time of 28.74 which was easily the fastest time of the night.

Yes, a truly magical run from this classic class puppy. The next best time of the night was 29.06 by 'High flying lady' who had recorded 28.70 in a trial at Newbridge. So this pups time was .32 spots faster.

Another runner the same night was 'Future Joe' who was bought for a substantial amount unraced. He won from trap to line in 29.16 (.42 spots slower than this pup).  'Future Joe' is a 1/2 brother to 'Future Boy' who was voted Irish greyhound of the year (Stayer) and sold for £60,000.

Please note the track was 'dug up' on Wednesday  by ground staff and it would have been running on the 'slower' side. If this pup had been racing on Saturday nights card he would easily have done a 28.50 run. 3 consecutive nights racing makes the track that bit faster at weekend.

Some of the superstars in the greyhound game have raced at Galway, the likes of 'Skywalker Ace' (28.72 at Galway - sold for £50,000), our very own great 'Burnpark Champ' 28.88 Galway 27.96 Monmore sold for £18,000, 'Skate on' - 29.40 Galway.

Make no mistake Galway form stands up against the best. Galway track would be rated at least .30 spots behind the likes of Shelbourne or Limerick and Tralee. For example 'Uutofthesky' - 28.96 Galway - (27th April) recorded 28.59 at Shelbourne last Saturday night.

Not surprising this pup with his winning time has become very hot property. He was advertised on Greyhound Data and the owner fielded several phone calls while our contact in Ireland acted fast to secure him. We have negotiated a £5,000 reduction in the asking price.

With his all round pace this young pup will be aimed at all the major category one events in the NGRC racing calendar including the likes of the £10,000 Puppy Classic at Notts in August as well as the £25,000 Irish Puppy Derby at Harolds cross.
