Complete Sales Information Available

The full sales catalogue provides comprehensive details on all runners, while an individual runner by runner preview, expertly compiled by Mark Pierrepoint can also be found here.

This level of detailed analysis makes today's Romford sales trials some of the most thoroughly documented in recent greyhound news today, giving potential purchasers extensive information to make informed decisions.

Diverse Quality on Display

As usual there is a good mixture of greyhounds of all abilities, from race winners to complete novice puppies. This variety ensures opportunities for buyers at every level, from those seeking proven performers to investors looking for future potential.

There are 50 greyhounds set to trial, representing one of the larger sales events of the year. The youngest of whom appears in the very first trial of the day - Stonepark Susie, a May 24 whelp out of Dromana Bucko x Ballyverry Sarah and unsurprisingly, doesn't have a mark on the card.

Irish Droopys Contingent Creates Buzz

As is often the case with these Sales Auctions, there will likely be plenty of attention paid to the four greyhounds trialling who have made their way over the Irish Sea with the famed "Droopys" prefix.

March 24 Droopys Youngsters

Trial 11 will see two March 24 youngsters trialling:

• Droopys Tiffany - representing the quality bloodlines associated with this renowned prefix
• Droopys Floorish - another promising March-whelped prospect

The remaining two March 24 youngsters will appear in Trial 22:

• Droopys Verdict - facing strong competition in this trial
• Droopys Bafta - completing the Irish quartet

The Droopys prefix has long been associated with quality and success in greyhound racing, making these four runners among the most closely watched in today's trials.

Sean Conway's Promising Team

Anything brought over by Sean Conway is always worth a second glance and he brings over a team of four promising prospects. The pick of his bunch could prove to be Feeling The Love, a February 24 whelp who appears in Trial 19.

Impressive Trial Performance

Conway recently posted a video on his X account of Feeling The Love's recent sprint trial at Shelbourne Park where he recorded 19.02, but after a slow start, recorded a 12.69 on the run for home which is a great run for a puppy. Conway is really looking forward to this sale, and his confidence in this runner makes it one to watch closely in today's greyhound news today.

This type of sectional timing suggests significant potential, particularly given the greyhound's youth and room for improvement.

Proven Winners Available

For those looking to buy a race winner, several options present themselves:

Mustang Rocket - Proven Sprint Performer

July 23 whelp Mustang Rocket has won his last two races at Dundalk at S1 and S0 level with a best time of 21.15 to his name. He appears in Trial 2, offering buyers the chance to acquire a greyhound already performing at competitive levels.

Recent Irish Winners

Romantic Romeo, a January 24 youngster won at Cork in an A8/10 contest in just his second start in 29.12, demonstrating rapid progression and adaptability to racing conditions.

Brisbane, with the November 23 whelp overcoming a slow start to score at Waterford in 29.26, appears in Trial 24. His ability to overcome early setbacks and finish strongly suggests good racing temperament.
