Well, after winning his first round, and semi final in the fastest times of the heats, the Final night was here. NAMETAB KIWI drawn in Trap 2, was expected to make it a 3 timer, but it was not to be, see his card on http://www.igb.ie/Greyhounds.aspx?id=NAMETAB%20KIWI
The Layers had him at Even money favourite, with the next being 3/1. At Trap rise, he didnt quite hit the lids, and all 6 dogs went down to the first bend, within a length of each other. The writing was on the wall, as NAMETAB KIWI was badly baulked, and was lucky to stay on his legs. This effectively finished his race, and try as hard as he could, he could not get back into contention.
For a dog that had won both his official trails and both his initial opening races, plus 8 unrecorded trials where he was never beaten, we were to say the least a little deflated.
Never mind, thats dog racing, and he is sound this morning, so will be placed in another race in due course. Congratulations to the winner of the Stake, Pat Daltons , Screen Title.
