PRODUCE STAKES, SWINDON Romeo Recruit winning last year’s Produce Stakes Notthingham. Trainer Dave Firmager to be a player this year at Swindon
Running for a place in history 67th TWO YEAR OLD PRODUCE STAKES – SWINDON First-Round 5th July Second-Round 10th July Semi-Finals 15th July Final 20th July
For a whopping seventy-two greyhounds and carrying a first-prize of £15,000 for many British-breeders this is their Derby and it promises to be yet again a brilliant competition. The Produce Stakes has been run at Swindon since 2004 there was also a stake at Nottingham but that has sadly ended now. This great race has been run at Harringay, Wembley, Hall Green, Nottingham but now its home is firmly at Swindon. I remember the first-running in 2004 it was won by the brilliant Robbie De Niro, since then it has gone from strength to strength and is definitely one of the year’s highlights.
I Am Firm On David’s Chances
The countries leading breeder is undisputed in my eyes it is David Firmager, last year Romeo Recruit came runner-up in this race and went on to win Nottingham’s version, the year before his brilliant Romeo Metro took the classic and you can bet your last pound David will be in the mix once more this year. The Romeo (dogs) and Fabulous (bitches) prefix will be strutting their stuff around Swindon. So there was only one man to catch up and that was David Firmager. “Around two years ago we decided to cut down on the breeding numbers so we are paying that price now, we have upped the breeding and now we are breeding more than we have ever done, I’d guess we are about nine litters light for this year’s Produce Stakes. “Our best chance probably is Romeo
Hi Rumble, he seems to have come back better from a break and is a strong running dog with a bit of luck he should go far. “A bitch I really like the look of is Fabulous Glow, she went lame in her very first race an A1 at Nottingham, we are hopeful she will be ok in time but if there are any doubts we won’t risk her. It promises to be a great competition and best of luck to everyone taking part.” The competition is bound to be fierce one team Esther Driver (Breeder) and Paul Sallis (Trainer) are lethal and having a fantastic year. Hondo Black – Klockwork Kyla, May 2011 litter look fantastic, the stars are Klockwork Kaipo and Korker but their siblings are also useful. Come the produce stakes you would expect this litter to be a force in the competition and watch out for this Breeder/Trainer combination they are TOP CLASS.
