New names in the racecard at Sheffield
Sheffield director of racing Andrew Mascarenhas has confirmed that Shaun O'Donnell, son of trainer Michael, has taken over the licence at the South Yorkshire track following his father's sad recent passing.
Mascarenhas said: "Michael was an exceptional person first and foremost. He had been a trainer for many years and his greyhounds were always well turned out and extremely well kept - and Shaun has been very much a part of that.
"All of us here at Sheffield express our condolences to Michael's family who held a private funeral for him last week. The track will not be the same without Michael around."
In a separate development, Mascarenhas also confirmed that Levi Prescott Jackson has taken over the license from Trevor Coote.
"Levi already worked for Trevor so is now taking over the licence," said Mascarenhas.
Levi Prescott Jackson takes on a dual contract, also supplying runners to Kinsley alongside Sheffield.
