Greyhound Trader Donny sales could lead to Puppy contenders
GREYHOUND TRADER sales return to Doncaster Stadium on Friday 21st August for what promises to be another hugely popular sales day at one of the leading tracks in the UK.
Gates will open to patrons from 9am, with the sales trials scheduled to begin at approximately 10am.
As usual, visitors will be well looked after by the excellent catering team at Doncaster, with a quality breakfast available in the morning and food and drink served throughout the day.
There is also an added incentive for buyers looking towards the future, with Doncaster set to stage a 36-runner Doncaster Puppy Derby Category One later in the year for which many of the youngsters going through the sale will be eligible.
The competition gets underway on Saturday 17th October, with the semi-finals on Saturday 24th October and the final, worth £10,000 to the winner, taking place a week later on Saturday 31st October.

Aots the lots to catch the eye, Pat Norris offers Away With Ya (lot 3), a March 2025 son of Good News and Three Canons who has already shown a sizeable step forward in his schooling.
After recording 30.68se at Kilkenny in June, he improved significantly at Cork on August 7 when posting 29.09sec, a good effort which marks him down as an open-class prospect.
There is plenty of substance behind him too. Dam Three Canons finished runner-up in the 2022 RPGTV Puppy Oaks at Shelbourne Park, while her maiden litter to Magical Bale produced a remarkable return with every one of her offspring reaching open-class.
Litter-brother Excuse The Mess (lot 4) has a similar profile.
Brendan Matthews sends over Onlyfoolsnhorses (lot 26), a May 2025 daughter of King Sheeran and Highjay Muzzy who is expected to develop into a high-class staying performer.
The pedigree gives every reason to expect stamina to be her forte. Da Highjay Muzzy landed the Night of Stars Marathon over 1,025 yards at Shelbourne Park in both 2023 and 2024.
Onlyfoolsnhorses has so far been restricted to sprint trials, but the Matthews team report that she has been absolutely storming home to the pick-up. She could conceivably be a fair way behind during the early stages of her Doncaster trial, but this is definitely one to watch closely late on.
