McAllister kennel’s Tiger Boy (Flying Penske x Flying Exquisite) continued his undefeated spree after scoring the win in the 87th Inaugural last Saturday. The October 2009 male, who was the most traveled athlete in 2011, continues to live up to his name. Tiger Boy has made his mark at several tracks and now adds a Derby Lane stakes to his prestigious resume.
Tiger Boy roared past his rivals Wednesday night January 11 in a six-length victory. His winning time of 30.82 was the only time under 31 seconds in the Wednesday night card.
Other news: Football fans can’t get enough of Tim Tebow right now and Derby Lane’s Flying Tim Tebow will be back on track Friday night January 13 in race 10. The male is seeking his first win this year and hopes he can "Tebow" his rivals. Fans in Florida have watched their former Gator player take the Bronco’s into the playoffs. This week's game along with Tebow's Friday night race will be one to watch for sure.

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.
