The recent Greyhound Trader Towcester ‘Puppy Derby’ Sales looks to yet again have provided some exciting talent to the UK shores with 28 greyhounds sold for a total of just over £64,000.
Top lot on the day was Racenight Mikey who sold for £10,000. An April 2023 son of Ballymac Cashout who’s only previous form in Ireland was a 28.87 trial in Limerick, he recorded a 2nd FTOD of 29.58 over the 500m distance at Towcester. Bought by a new syndicate, he has joined the kennels of Maxine Locke with the £20,000 PGR Monmore Puppy Derby already spoken of as a long-term aim.
Fastest of the day was Dusty Chief who clocked 29.51 ahead of kennel-mate Da Cornetto (sold for £4000). A March 2022 with winning form at SPK, his reserve of £5000 was not met on the day and subsequently he went unsold.
One that did sell from the famed Townview kennels of the Matthews family however was Memoir. A December 2022 daughter of Unlock Unlock, she was sold to the Northern-based Allan Power for £8000 after her 29.61 trial winning performance on the day.
Other notable sales on the day included Unlock Queen (£5300), Bloody Flawless (£5000) and Magical Jacob (£4000).
The next UK sales will be hosted by Premier Greyhound Sales at Hove on Monday 14th October.
