GREAT DAY FOR YOUNG TYLER
YESTERDAY WAS A BIG DAY FOR MANY IN THE SPORT OF GREYHOUND RACING AND CAN I START BY OFFERING CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE CONNECTED WITH THE SIX FINALISTS IN THE GREYHOUND DERBY AND IN PARTICULAR MY PALS CHARLIE LISTER AND KEVIN HUTTON. YESTERDAY ALSO TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT DAY FOR OUR GRANDSON TYLER.
VISITING US FOR THE WEEKEND HE WAS UP AND ABOUT BRIGHT AND BREEZY IN ANTICIPATION OF SPENDING TIME IN THE KENNELS AND SEEING HIS GREYHOUND TYS CLARABELLE, WHO HE IS NURSING BACK FROM A BROKEN METACARPAL AND NOW TRYING TO GET FIT FROM A SEASONAL BREAK, WORK ENOUGH FOR A FIVE YEAR OLD (LOL). YESTERDAY HOWEVER TYLER WAS ALSO LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A RIDE ON FULL SIZED TRACTOR THAT CAME TO CUT OUR FIELD AND HE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW HIM KNOW THAT HE HAS FEW FEARS AND HE JUMPED STRAIGHT UP IN THE CAB AND WENT CRUISING ROUND THE FIELD WITH OUR LOCAL FARMER DAN.
THAT WAS NOT TO BE HIS ONLY MEMORABLE EVENT OF THE DAY AS LAST NIGHT HE JOINED MY WIFE LIZ AND I AT MONMORE AND WAS PROMPTLY CALLED UPON TO RECIEVE A TROPHY (ABOVE) WHEN MONAGEA LEE WON THE NINTH RACE ON THE CARD. HE WAS SO CHUFFED AS HE WANDERED BACK THROUGH THE CARD IT BROUGHT A LUMP TO YOURS TRULYS THROAT. I SOON SWALLOWED HOWEVER WHEN UPON LEAVING HE TRIED TO HELP LOAD THE DOGS ON THE VAN AND DROPPED AND BROKE HIS TROPHY!! 'NEVER MIND GRAMPY' HE SAID ' WE'LL JUST HAVE TO GET ANOTHER WINNER WON'T WE' ............... PRICELESS!
