Droopys Erlybird set for Towcester trial on Sunday
Towcester's trial session on Sunday afternoon is set to see the return of Droopys Erlybird, the greyhound who slipped his lead at Clacket Lane Services.
Towcester return for Erlybird
Droopys Erlybird, the young greyhound who slipped the lead at an M25 service station last week and was loose for three days, trials at Towcester on Sunday - with connections delighted to see him back.
Trainer Patrick Janssens said: "He's right as rain to be fair. We were all delighted to get him back to the kennels and once again thank everyone who played their part in locating him and then getting him safely back here. Once he saw Cheryl (Janssens, wife) he was wagging his tail and ready to come home!
"He was hungry, of course, but nothing more than that - and was bouncing the next day. He wants to get back on track and we'll start with a 270m sprint solo at Towcester on Sunday."
An April 2025 son of Pestana and Droopys Alyssa, Droopys Erlybird has had just four races with a 29.17sec Towcester win over 500m on his card. He last raced at Central Park last month.
