The latest Premier Greyhound Sales proved a huge success at Monmore yesterday with a huge turnover of just over £133,000.

Top lot of the day was Droopys Fodder, a blue April 23 dog by Malachi out of Droopys Charm, who sold for £16,500 to a syndicate of owners with Kim Billingham after leading all the way in his trial recording 28.98 for the 480m trip.

Fastest of the day was Fine Thanks, a black June 22 son of Droopys Sydney out of Tibet, when he stopped the clock in 28.83 and he will stay at Monmore with Alan Jenkins after being purchased for £5,000.

Other notable sales on the day included Droopys Elena (£8,200), Easy Ojo (£7,500), Majecka (£5,500) and Sporting Stage (£5,200).

Nathan Corden says “It was a remarkable day and Monmore has once again proven it is a very strong sales venue. Tony Williamson and his team always make us feel very welcome and the track was in superb condition. The auction was interesting as our regular auctioneer Richard Walsh was delayed so we had to improvise for the first half and James Corden stepped up to the plate and did a brilliant job for his first experience of being an auctioneer!”
