Preview in alphabetical order:

[1] ACCEPT ORDECLINE – September 2024 son of Droopys Got It and the fantastic Wide Open who boasts a 50% strike rate with wins at Shelbourne Park and Dundalk. A strong-running debut victory in 29.04 over 525y at SPK was followed by another show of stamina to win easy over 400y at Dundalk in 21.20 (+10). These runs suggest this is a special dog with a bright future in Open class company from a kennel well-known for selling good ones.[2] ADAMANTLY CHOSEN – September 2024 daughter of Newinn Taylor and Kildallon Tilly who was a winner on debut at Thurles by a huge 10 lengths in 29.50. Running a middle-course throughout, this bitch showed great determination at the first bend in this race to ensure she led the pack before making all for a convincing victory. Expect plenty of improvement yet in this young lady.
[3] BALLINTUBBERSTAR – A stunning white and black June 2024 daughter of Doolin Duke and Beaming Becca who got her first career victory back in April over 575y at Cork. This strong running lady only took over proceedings around the last bend and with previous race comments also including CHLRI or STYON the suggestion is that this lady has a future over 6-bends in the UK. This would make sense with her dam Beaming Becca a previous DD0 scorer over 750y at Limerick.
[4] BRINGITTOME – A fawn May 2025 son of Grangeview Ten and Killenaulerocket who produced his best performance last time out at Clonmel with a comfortable 28.94 victory. Another strong running type who also holds a genuine wide tag, this dog would be ideal for those looking to race at Hove, Nottingham and Towcester.
[5] CLOUD BLUE – September 2024 daughter of Ballymac Bolger and Jades Beauty who is still engaged in an ON1 stake at Enniscorthy which is now at the Semi-Final stages. Blue finished 3rd and then 2nd so far with both race comments including RNON which certainly suggests she will stay 500m with Enniscorthy being a tough circuit as it is. Can be purchased to continue in the €2500 to the winner competition.
[6] EL MAYO – July 2024 son of Ballymac Cashout and Droopys Nextone who is a prolific winner with 5 victories from 9 races to date. This includes a career best performance last time out at Shelbourne Park where he was a 11 1/2 length winner in a super 28.28 (+20) having shown early pace from Trap 1. Bred to be a star too, his dam Nextone finished 3rd in the Irish Oaks and also recorded 27.97 in a trial at Shelbourne Park. Mayo is a seriously exciting prospect who isn’t 2 until July and will most certainly be competing in all major competitions in the UK if sold.
[7] FATHER BROWN – October 2024 son of Born Warrior and Canya Dream who was a winner on debut at Cork in 29.41 despite having to check up behind at a dog coming off the 1st bend. Brown took up proceedings coming into the 3rd bend before pulling clear for a 5 1/2 length victory. This was a promising start for the young pup who can definitely only improve further.
[8] GALLANT STAR – UK-based April 2024 daughter of Newinn Taylor and Silver Penny who has won 2 opens at Oxford in times of 26.66 and 26.92. A typical Newinn Taylor progeny, she possesses great early pace and could prove to be a nice type for the likes of Romford, Sunderland or Pelaw. Bond paid for already is a bonus.
[9] HAWKFIELD ANGEL – May 2024 daughter of Koblenz and Hawkfield Breeze who is twice a winner at Shelbourne Park in times of 28.90 and 29.14. She was just one place off qualifying for the Semi-Finals of the Irish Puppy Oaks at the same venue which suggests that current connections think a bit of her.
[10] MOYVANE TAYLOR – July 2024 son of Newinn Taylor and Terazas Mendoza who won on just his 2nd start last Saturday night at Tralee over the sprint distance in a rapid 17.60 (+5). His dam was a 28.07 around Limerick and has previously thrown the 2025 Irish Sprinter of the year Sogna Ancora. Litter-sister Silent Noelle has also looked a bright talent and all roads lead to this dog making into a serious competition sprinting prospect in the UK where perhaps there is space for something to appear.
[11] RADICAL DREAMER – March 2024 son of Ballymac Cashout and An Cailin Alainn who produced a monstrous 7 1/2 length 28.67 strong running debut victory at Limerick back in February having been 4th going into the first bend. Hasn’t had much luck in racing since but his official trials before beginning his career can’t have been better with 18.76 and 28.47 at Shelbourne Park. Looks a strong 6-bend candidate in the future with his brother Radical Story (also sold on this platform) running in the Derby this weekend having trialled at Towcester in a calculated 28.69.
[12] SHEEZATWISTER – January 2024 daughter of Magical Bale and Swanley Chick who is a versatile sort having already won at 3 different venues in Ireland. The standout was perhaps her 29.10 (-10) win at Galway where she made all just as she did in her victories of 28.72 at Limerick and 28.85 at Shelbourne Park. She is now rated AA0 in Ireland having recorded 28.46 at Limerick despite finishing 3rd in early April but her 18.76 trial around the same venue suggests she is well capable in this grade.
[13] SIDE DEAL – January 2024 son of Grangeview Ten and Blossoms Pet who was a winner over 550y at Shelbourne Park just over 2-weeks ago in a good time of 29.86. He made a bold strong running statement in this race and also showed the same characteristics in his scintillating 21.21 victory at Dundalk over 400y. An open class prospect for trips all 4-bend distances.
[14] STEFANS BOLT – May 2024 son of Dromana Bucko and Teena who scored at Dundalk last weekend in a good time of 21.40 (+10). He showed great early in this race and had to overcome strong pressure from another opponent in this race so this suggests he is capable of even better. Untested over 4-bends but his owner believes that won’t be an issue for this greyhound.
[15] SUNNYSIDE TED – June 2024 son of Grangeview Ten and Queen Jay Lo who has proved to be a top-class sprinter in the North of England with nine open class victories across Sunderland, Pelaw and Newcastle. His best performance came in the final of the Category 3 ARC sprint final at Sunderland where he duly obliged as the 10/11F in 15.49. Perspective owners should look to bring Ted to the south and target the major sprinting competitions.
[16] TOMS JOHN DEERE – September 2024 son of Grangeview Ten and Crescent Tibet who has a previous 29.45 win recorded at Clonmel in early April. Beaten just 3/4 length the following week, he improved on the clock to 29.26 and he looks a versatile grader for all tracks over 4-bends.
[17] TROMORA FLARE – March 2025 daughter of Dorotas Wildcat and Tromora Champion who stands out as a bitch with huge potential following on from her 29.11 trial victory at Limerick just last night (30/04). To do this at just 13 months old is some achievement and she should certainly be on the notebooks of all those looking to purchase quality.
[18] TROMORA JESSE – Litter-sister to Flare above, she similarly trialled last night at Limerick where she recorded a respectable 29.59. Again at just 13 months old there is no end improvement left in this bitch who will prove a worthy purchase to anyone with age on her side.
[19] WHITE RUNNERS – May 2024 son of Dromana Bucko and Unbeatable who won on his latest outing at Dundalk in 21.37 which puts him into the SS0 band. Having not shown his true ability at the Central Park sales earlier in the year, connections took him home and he has not let them down. His dam Unbeatable comes from the magnificent Pestana x Unlock Unlock litter.
[20] UNNAMED PUP – A unique listing on Greyhound Trader this weekend, we are offering the chance to purchase into some of Ireland’s best breeding. Available is the November 2025 brindle dog pup (BU TLR) bred Dorotas Wildcat x Droopys Smily. Smily is bred Droopys Sydney x Droopys Dancer which makes her a litter-sister to both Droopys Kathleen and Droopys Flare. On the track herself she only raced 6 times but made the final of English Puppy Oaks where she was sent off the favourite. The pup is currently with Sean Conway and can be reared on if required.
