Season 2002 opened!

Finnish greyhound racing season started today at Turku track with official trials. Almost 60 eager greyhounds has arrived to Metsämäki track. The trials started in sprint distance (325m) and the best of the day was ran by  Volare 19.04. We were more than pleased that Rittenhouse "Ritsa" was second fastest with 19.09. Also litter brother Maker´s Mark "Zingo" did well 19.24. Little overweight  Cypress Night and Icetrick made satisfactory; "Sysi" 19.56 and "Norris" 19.33.

Mr Moose was fastest in 495 meters with brilliant 28.99. Also Napoleon showed his pace with 29.38. Our bred, just cured from cough, Yellowstone "Keltsu" was 3rd fastest in 29.79.

Next stage is EGU Championships at Otalampi training straight 24.4. 

Rittenhouse will try to repeat his championship!
