Follow a Hound to Retirement – Edition 002

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers…it’s Max again!

I would like to introduce you to the first three ‘follow a hound to retirement’ greyhounds!  I’m going to start out with just some basic information on each and we can build from there.

First up…drum roll please…ASTAR TRUDESTINY!  This nice red girl races at 67 pounds and will be the ‘senior’ greyhound in the racing kennel once Reese makes his trip to NLGA!  She turned 4 this past September.  She finished 2^nd in her race on January 4^th and 4^th in her race on January 10^th.  AStar Trudestiny is currently racing in Grade D over the 5/16 mile course.  I’ll let you know when her next race is.

Next up…Slatex Vincent!  This big brindle boy races at 92 pounds (!) and will turn 4 in April.  He is currently racing in Grade B over the 5/16 mile course.  On January 3^rd he finished 8^th.  He finished 5^th in his last race on January 10^th.  I’ll let you know when his next race is.

And finally…Slatex Smith!  This wonderful red boy races at 79 pounds and will turn 4 in Aprils too.  Actually, he is a litter mate to Slatex Vincent!  Slatex Smith won his last race, a Grade B race, on January 6^th by 3 lengths.  Below is a picture of the beginning of that race.  Since he won he will be moving up to race in Grade A for his next race.  Slatex Smith’s next race is on January 12^th.  He will be racing in the sixth race and will be wearing the yellow silks out of box 6. 

I’ll be introducing the next three ‘follow a hound to retirement’ greyhounds in the next couple days!

Until next time,
