The day has arrived

The  Racing Post is full of Towcester today, all positive and adding to the anticipation of the first new greyhound track to open in 20 years.

It would be great to win the first race tonight with our own  Larky Ego but best of luck to all the runners....see you there

Proud to be at Towcester

The Towcester effect is really taking off now with two more dogs arriving today, namely Proud Charm and Proud Beurney.

Both coming from top breeder Patrick Phelan from Waterford, Ireland.

Paddy has bred some great dogs over the years which we had the privilege to train.

Proud Patsy being a great dog, but how good would have John Nokes' dog Proud Berry have been.

This stunning white/black dog was unbeaten in 4 races and had  already taken the scalp of the great Ballymac Eske.

Sadly in a preparation trial for the Gymcrack at Kinsley he broke his hock and was retired as a pet. 

His owner John Nokes has Berry at home now and he has become a real part of the family.

Steve Morgan, Nigel Loxton, Wayne Pinnell and John Stanaway had already negotiated a deal to bring over Proud Beurney from Ireland, but his 13 month old litter sister Proud Charm will be available on the for sale page shortly, so get ready for another little christmas cracker.

Owner John Nokes

At all times.
