TRAFFIC COMMAND

Traffic Command is in the sale at Thurles on Tuesday 30th October. No particular reason for him being in the sales, except he is a syndicate dog and one of the syndicate members wants to sell him. If he dosnt fetch decent money, I will buy him back myself, as I truly believe, and so does his trainer, that this is a sub 29 second dog at Shelbourne Park, in the making. He was in Trap 1 for his trial, a trap in which he had never been in before, but this is such a competitive dog, tht all traps are the same to him. He was once again, slow away, but ran his usual race between 2 and 3, to go into the lead at 3. He won the trial by 5.5 lengths, in a fifth fastest of the day 29.58. The track was back about -30, and some dogs were losing their footing on loose sand at the first bend. A number of people were asking about him throughout the auction, and he sold for 3100 to Daryll Porter attached to Swindon race track in England. I wish Daryll all the best with him, especially as he was the only trainer in the UK who won with a bitch of mine called Nametab Domino, and Daryll informed me that he had just retired her to a Homefinder scheme in Devon. I shall be watch "Rocky" with great interest http://www.igb.ie/Greyhounds.aspx?id=AF02F857-3409-48F9-8404-BB3D06FF4330
