The second instalment of the Greyhound Trader online auctions for 2025 commenced over the previous weekend and despite a limited number of entries, there was still plenty of interest with over 50% of greyhounds selling.
Top lot was Hard Done Boy who sold for £6400. A June 2023 pup by Ballyhimikin Jet, he had won his only race to date at Kilkenny in a fast time of 29.12s and now heads for a career in the UK with John Campbell at Swindon.
Racenight Ivan sold for £3500 post auction having clearly impressed with his Open race victory at Nottingham in January. A future 6-bend greyhound, he heads south from Tom Helibron to Allison Kelly-Pilgrim who is now attached to Romford.
One greyhound staying in Ireland is Cypress Creek who joins the kennels of Kurtis Bain having sold for £1350. A SS0 winner in Ireland, Creek is likely to be aimed at the big sprint competitions across the shore including the €20,000 Dundalk National Sprint.
Overall, 7 of the 12 greyhounds (58%) entered sold for a total over £16,000.
