DIGGIT 6 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 HI ALL :welcomeani: If you live in the worcester kidderminster area of the midlands some of you will know of a greyhound racing track on the outskirts of kidderminster which is called honeybrook kennels, this is owned by a man called ray, if some of you go down there ask him about a young lad called lee that used to take a brindel lurcher dog of 24" which he used to sprint around the track out of the traps, the distance the dog use to run at was 475m, now im not going to put the times at what this dog use to come in at because you will think that i am talking shit but what i can tell you is the dog use to come in 3/4 of a second slower than some of his top open racers, some times he would use the lurcher to train young greyhound pups to trap. so if some of you would like to know what makes a lurcher go fast go and see ray he will enlighten you a bit, as for the lurcher dog called fly he has passed away now but i do know where his daughter is she is not as fast as her dad but i think dogs like these are one off's and people that own them dont advertise the fact because they just get called bullshiters and liers. all the best lads Lee Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 the dog has clocked a 16. over 312 yards so do the maths and that works out roughly as 5.3 seconds .... if you still doubt that frank then go on to greyhound data and type in climate manor you will see a race he had in harrolds cross ... have a look at the dogs early pace ... he was still under 2 then and hadnt developed .... we also discovered a week later that he had lung worm which is the reason he faded on the last 40 yards .... however he was beaten by a seamus graham dog so no shame there ..... if anybody else doubts this i would gladly put this dog up against anything any of you have as long as the money is worthwhile ..... just dont be crying when you lose ............
