Hi Noon Renegade pulled from Inaugural
Both made the cut for the Inaugural but Renegade was pulled citing a minor injury. "He (Renegade) is my best sprinter. He just came off a 10 in a row streak and has a split web. It is minor but I am not taking any chances with him," said Nova kennel owner Hans Limmer.
Renegade's scratch eliminated the draw by lot between Wednesday night's dead heat for fourth in the qualifying rounds. Floyd & Porter's Danicas Go Daddy and Alabama Racing's Gabby's Jentowin earned automatic slots from the scratch. Posts were drawn and here is how Saturday night's 87th Inaugural will stack up in POST POSITION ORDER.

Since 1978 I have been tutored by the most respected leaders in the industry at tracks in WV, WI and FL. As Media Relations Director and Company Spokeswoman I have a unique opportunity to share my passion for the sport. I have written hundreds of feature stories and taken just as many greyhound photos. My articles have been published nationally and internationally. I have been a color analyst on Sky Network at the Irish Derby multiple times and on America’s Night of Stars. I am also a former Greyhound trainer.
I am proud to call Derby Lane home, which is the most established Greyhound racetrack in the nation since 1925. I have met iconic kennel operators and watched the greatest greyhounds of the past decade including Dominator, Talentedmrripley and Flying Coal City-all historic award winners. I have written and produced videos used to honor industry people and Greyhound athletes at the Greyhound Hall of Fame and coordinated track shots for the Born to Run and Ensuring the Welfare of the Racing Greyhound videos. I have coordinated major film projects at Derby Lane including Animal Planet’s "Breed All About It", Oceans 11 and baseball’s Carl Crawford’s commercial. I coordinated all of the media for the world’s biggest Greyhound stakes in 2005-2006 when Derby Lane hosted the Million Dollar races. I am also a GPA volunteer. I have two grown daughters, a granddaughter and a racing greyhound. I am blessed with endless energy and share a home in FL with two retired Greyhounds.
