Nova kennel’s historic hound Hi Noon Renegade continued his winning spree and continues to be one of the nation’s top 550-yard greyhounds this year. Renegade’s highly impressive portfolio includes his historic Gold Trophy and Spring Classic victories this year along with a current record of 36 wins in 56 starts. His current stats for 2011 are 56/36-10-5-1.
Kennel owner Hans Limmer and trainer Rosa Gibbs brought Renegade back slowly when the male suffered a minor injury three months ago. Since his return Hi Noon Renegade (Dodgem By Design x Bryan’s Baby) has remained undefeated and seeks seven in a row in race 12 Saturday night December 10 and a 37th win for the year keeping him among the nation’s top dogs.
Other news: In the race for the kennel title trainer Doug Flint of the Hambleton kennel is one win in front of the McAllister kennel who has 238 wins with 1332 starts. Hambleton is 239 wins out of 1703. Red Oak is in third with 227 wins followed by Patriot (210) and D’Arcy (195) rounds out the top five.
Round three of the 660-yard challenge will be held in races 6 and 10 Saturday December 10th. Two greyhounds are undefeated but one of their records will fall as AHK Colormegone (Abernathy) and Flying Marvelous (McAllister) have drawn in the same 10th race.
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.
