Nova kennel's superstar Hi Noon Renegade has beaten the odds and is on an undefeated run since his return. Despite a three month absence from racing Renegade appears to have come back stronger than ever. Thursday night Renegade seeks a 40th win this year and ten in a row. His staggering stats boast a 93% money record for the year and 66% win record. His stats before his attempted streak are 59/39-10-5-1. Renegade is the son of Dodgem By Design x Bryan's Baby and is owned by Charles Haliburton, III.
Other news: Cal Holland kennel's Kentucky Fire added another win to her 660-yard portfolio keeping her on the top of the leader board for the meet. The daughter of Dragon Fire x RK's Tomb Raider won her 18th race Wednesday December 21 and hopes to hold off her rivals to take the season win title. Kentucky Fire was the runner-up in last week's 660-Yard Challenge.

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.
