DE LAHDEDAH UK’S GREYHOUND OF THE MONTH

Ian Fortune

It will come as no surprise but De Lahdedah was yesterday announced as the TIME Nutrition Greyhound of the Month for June.

The sensational son of Lenson Bocko raced to a famous victory in the Star Sports/ TRC English Derby at Towcester in the final days of the month and it’s no surprise to see him recognised for his efforts. Well done to Liam Dowling and his lucky owners the Garsuns Syndicate.

Announcing the news on the GBGB website, it read:

DE LAHDEDAH is the Time Nutrition Greyhound of the Month for June.

The newly-crowned Liam Dowling-bred and trained Star Sports/TRC English Greyhound Derby champion, owned by the Garsuns Syndicate, saw off a host of other top performers to become a rare Irish-trained winner of the monthly award, voted for by members of the Greyhound Writers’ Association. He succeeds May winner Coonough Crow.

Other nominations for the June prize were Aero Sacundai (Richie Taberner), Churchfield Syd (Richard Rees), Crafty Shivoo (Mark Wallis), King Memphis (Liz McNair), Magical Bluebear (Bill Russell), New Destiny (Mark Wallis), Romeo Command (Patrick Janssens) and Untold Ruble (Tom Heilbron).
