Charter Kennel has three finalists in the $95,000 Wheeling Island National – two of them following much-needed victories in the fifth and final round Wednesday afternoon.

Representing the Dorothy Tober-trained Charter Kennel in the futurity-style championship will be Barts Im Joekool, Dont Let Me Down and Barts Send It. The Brad Boeckendstedt Kennel has a pair of finalists – BGR Dustybottoms and Superior Calder.

Kennels with a single entry in the stakes final are Konomi (A Ray), SG’s Arnie Army (Jacobs Racing) and WW Jimmythe Geek (Wayne Ward).

The championship and consolation finals will be held on Monday, May 29 (Memorial Day). The post position draw will be on Friday.

Charter Kennel’s Dont Let Me Down finished fourth and Barts Send It had an eighth in the fourth round – both needing winning efforts Wednesday to have a shot of making the final.

Both prevailed to secure their spot in the final. The other two fifth round winners were Konomi, victorious in the last two rounds, and Barts Im Joekool.

The field was cut to 32 greyhounds for the fourth round with points earned in the first three qualifiers dropped. Points accumulated in the fourth and fifth rounds determined the finalists.

The consolation final field has Nina Myers and Ban Chini (Steve Sarras), Starinthemaking and SG’s Bob Uecker (Jacobs Racing), JW Kit Kat (Patriot/Taplin), Cashontheline (Lester Raines), Superior Cannon (Brad Boeckenstedt) and Barts Wynn (Charter).
