The International Greyhound Services team head to Central Park on Wednesday 25th February 2026. The catalogue contains a whole host of unraced youngsters that will be winning races through the grades and a selection that should be competing in open and competition class. With something to suit every requirement and budget it promises to be an exciting sales day. Gates open at 9am with trials set to commence at 10am. Food and drink will be available throughout the day for those in attendance whilst the usual online bidding and streaming will be available to those unable to attend the track. As ever Mark Pierrepont guides you through the catalogue –
BLACKROSE LIVIA – May 2024 daughter of Malachi who got her career off to the best possible start with a strong running and wide margin victory around Clonmel at the end of January in a promising 2933. Doing all of her best work late she pulled further clear with each passing stride on the run home. Well beaten on her next start after serious first bend trouble so discount that effort. Exciting type.
DEELISH MILLIE – Well bred September 2024 bitch by Ballyhimikin Jet out of Crafty Jayko who herself was an open class winner on the track and her maiden litter to Ballymac Bolger including the likes of Deelish Top Boy a two time open winner around Oxford. Not a mark on this ladies card but no doubting her serious track and brood potential.
DROMBEG DORO – June 2024 son of Grangeview Ten out of Millbank Marcella a six and eight bend open racer who reached the final of the Kent St Leger in 2020. Offspring since retiring to the breeding paddocks have made open class and given that Doro posted 2932 around Limerick in what is so far the only four bend trial on his card there is every possibility of him also reaching that level.
STARSON QUEEN – September 2023 bitch who became detached from an early stage in the sole race currently on her card. That belated debut came after a series of moderate trials which though hardly earth shattering would see her pay her way on the graded scene most likely in sprints or the shorter four bend courses.
DA REALIST – This April 2024 bitch is a serious prospect for the open scene here in the UK. By Drumantine out of Pennys Lauren this lady backed up a few promising efforts to get her career up and running in a super 2869 around Dundalk two runs ago and followed up next time out when staying on strongly in terrible conditions to win in 2916 despite a less than clear passage. Dam Pennys Lauren has been producing plenty of nice sorts and Da Realist very much looks another.
PROPORTIONALITY – Not a mark on the card of this September 2024 son of Droopys Got It out of Wide Open but reports from the schooling track suggest this product of the Brendan Matthews set up has ‘pace to burn’. Likely to be in huge demand come sales day he’s already got tongues wagging back home and is sure to have no shortage of admirers looking to secure his services on sales day.
ROPEWALK FLYTE – October 2024 daughter of Droopys Flytline from the maiden litter of Saratoga a strong running top grade bitch. Posted 2986 in her first ever four bend trial and with plenty left to come off that yet should prove a useful addition to any UK graded kennel.
ASHWOOD SHELBY – August 2024 son of Koblenz and Succession an open class daughter of Unlock Unlock whose maiden litter to Malachi contained top grade sorts. Just the sole trial on his card when posting 3036 around Newbridge but no doubting there will be plenty of improvement found on that over the coming months.
BLACKLABEL POWER – October 2024 son of Black Shaw out of Temple Armani. Just two trials on his card including a 2982 winning one around Galway. Should pay his way on the graded scene and plenty of improvement to come throughout the year.
TOMMYS GOLDSTAR – Not a mark on the card of this September 2024 dog from the litter of Iconic Rory and Global Volcano. Bred to stay stamina laden trips and with all the hard work of rearing and schooling done will arrive with new connections fit and ready to get straight into his work. Half-sister Skyfall Mini impressed, when winning a 500m Nottingham open race this week in a smart 2971.
ROLO TWIX – This June 2024 dog by Malachi out of Distant Sal has been unlucky in running on a couple of recent occasions and his vendor feels there is a good run to come from him. Should be well suited to the likes of Central Park, Hove and Nottingham judging on his stamina. Keep an eye on Lot 5 as this fella has been up against him on the last two occasions.
AVIENDHA – Again another to suit the stiffer circuits, this May 2024 daughter of Dromana Bucko and Illa Tahin. Previous litter by dam included UK open race winners Cat Island, Links Weapon and Toddys Turbo.
DROPPYS TYPICAL – As with the majority of Droopys pups heading to the sales arrives without a mark on his card. This July 2024 dog is a son of Good Cody out of Droopys Berry who is a well proven producer of open and competition class performers. Error at naming see’s a very rare Droppys not Droopys heading across the Irish sea!
DROOPYS DRUMBEAT – Another from Team Droopys this October 2024 lady is a daughter of Droopys Flytline out of Droopys Dancer an open class performer in her own right and being a daughter of Droopys Sylvia is obviously very closely related to many superstar greyhounds. Schooling reports have been encouraging but her brood potential is also clear to see.
WESTCOAST ROCKET – Not a mark on the card of this November 2024 son of Dorotas Wildcat and Azurite an open class lady who landed an English Greyhound Derby second round heat in 2024. Bred to be pacey.
WEST COAST STAR – Full sister to Rocket and another whose schooling reports have been encouraging.
JAZ STYLE – February 2024 son of Droopys Flytline and Up The Style who ran out a hugely impressive winner of just the second start of his life in 3019 over Shelbourne Park’s 550 yard trip. Potentially one for the open class scene here in the UK.
OTTAWA GIRL – October 2024 daughter of Droopys Flytline out of Blundel Bridie who is a full sister to the superstar duo Jackslittlething and Swords Maestro. Just the sole moderate trial on her card at Dundalk posting 2257 however can only improve upon that hugely with each passing run and future brood prospects will also appeal to many.
SLIPPY CHLOE – Lightly raced April 2024 daughter of Burgess Bucks and Skilful Daisy the strong running open class performer who produced some high-grade sorts in her maiden litter to Crash. Chloe got her career off to the best possible start around Tralee last October leading all the way to win cosily in 2953. Chloe has had her season and is only now approaching anywhere near her peak with connections firmly in the belief that this is a good class bitch who falls firmly into the ‘could be anything’ category especially once stepped up to six bends.
ASHWOOD JILL – August 2024 daughter of Koblenz out of Succession a daughter of the fantastic Unlock Unlock. Just the sole moderate trial currently on the card in which Jill posted 3039 around Newbridge. Plenty to come off that though over the coming months.
TOMMYS HOTSHOT – September 2024 son of Iconic Rory and Global Volcano that arrives at the sale without a mark on his card. Bred to stay schooling reports have been positive and looks sure to pay his way for new connections here in the UK. Half-sister Skyfall Mini impressed, when winning a 500m Nottingham open race this week in a smart 2971.
ANGLESEY WEST – Unraced August 2024 son of King Sheeran and Ballymac Reymie a bitch who competed in open class on the track with a best of 2861 on the card around Cork. West himself posted a super 2921 around that venue when comfortably winning the first four bend trial of his life at the end of January. Lots to like about this lad and no surprise to see him go well on sales day.
MILESTONE PENNY – May 2024 daughter of Sober Glory out of Pennys Baccata who reached open class on the track and has produced plenty of similar sorts as a brood herself including Lookandlep who finished runner up in the Kilkenny Track Champion Open Unraced Final of 2025. Just the one race on this ladies card when she looked very much in need of the outing. Solid graded sort.
DROOPYS MELON – Wide running September 2023 daughter of Droopys Sydney and Droopys Fia and already a three time race winner in Ireland with a best of 2869 at Shelbourne Park in a super come from behind win. Form not quite been at that level for a while but certainly retains a decent level of ability and if a fresh start to life here in the UK sees a resurgence to her previous level then new connections could very well find they’ve purchased a bargain.
CASH YOUR CHIPS – May 2024 son of Dromana Bucko out of Unbeatable who is an open class daughter of Unlock Unlock. This lad ran out a comfortable winner of what is so far the only race on his card in 1783 around Lifford and will have no trouble at all staying further.
UNBEARABLE – August 2024 son of Signet Ace and Press Unlock another open class daughter of Unlock Unlock. Desperately unlucky not to have won the only race so far on his card. Missing the break he paced up to the turn well but was stopped to a walk before running on and eventually only beaten a couple of lengths before powering to the pick up. Looks a very exciting prospect.
CLEANAWAY KATIE – Lightly raced March 2024 daughter of Grangeview Ten and Downstream Chief. Won a race around Cork at the back end of last year. Strong runner who will have no trouble with any four bend trip in the UK and maybe further.
A QUEENS BETHANY – Not a mark on the card of this September 2024 daughter of King Sheeran and Roxanne Reign who competed in open class over six bends here in the UK. Sales day trial will be interesting but one that is very likely to improve for age and distance in the months to come.
GEMSTONE GEM – Another with a totally clean card this November 2024 lady is a member of the Dorotas Wildcat x Azurite litter. Reports during rearing and schooling have been full of promise so interesting to see how she moves on sales day.
DAINTREE DIVA – Full sister to Gem with similar comments applying.
GLIDEAWAY QUEEN – Unraced July 2024 daughter of Newinn Taylor out of Glideaway Magic an open class winner on the track who has produced some nice types of her own since retirement including the 2023 Irish Derby Finalist Music Glideaway. Couple of decent trial efforts already on the card of 2990 and 2995 around Kilkenny but value for a good few lengths better than what’s currently on the card and could be one that improves out of all recognition in the coming weeks.
SILVERHILL SHORT – June 2024 son of Lenson Bocko with an 1864 race victory already on the card at Drumbo Park, followed up with an unlucky outing at Derry when badly baulked at the first bend. Dam Newinn Nifty is a younger full sister to Irish Derby champ Newinn Taylor.
CARNEW LASS – Not a mark on the card of this September 2024 daughter of Ballymac Bolger and Jades Beauty.
SOCRATES SMILED – A young October 2024 son of US sire Pat C Sabbath out of Seldom Blue. Not a mark on his card.
TOMMYS TIBET – Unraced September 2024 member of the Iconic Rory x Global Volcano litter. Schooling trials have been promising and given his stamina laden bloodlines highly likely we won’t see the best of Tibet for quite sometime. Half-sister Skyfall Mini impressed, when winning a 500m Nottingham open race this week in a smart 2971.
RANCHERS SOBER – September 2024 son of Sober Glory and Assarula Runner whose offspring include Keylogues Runner an open class winner around Towcester in 2912 last year. Sober won the only trial on his card around Limerick in 1937.
BRIDESIDE GRACE – September 2024 daughter of Tommy Shelby out of Roaming Shari a well proven producer of open and competition class performers including but certainly not limited to Faypoint Harvey. Posted 2970 around Clonmel when winning the first and so far only four bend trial of her life.
RIVERSIDE ADA – Full sister to Grace who posted 2985 around Clonmel in what is thus far the only four bend trial on her card.
DATA IS KING – Promising August 2024 son of Signet Ace out of Press Unlock who posted 2150 in what was his first sighter of Dundalk. Pacey sort who has been reared and schooled to the usual high standards expected of Brendan Matthews and his team.
UNLESS – Not a mark on the card of this full brother to Data Is King. Talented sort who has been pleasing the Matthews team during his rearing and schooling and no surprise to see him in huge demand come sales day at Central Park.
DAIRYLAND SHEBA – November 2024 lady from the Dorotas Wildcat x Azurite litter. Schooling reports indicate that this lady should have no trouble winning races here in the UK.
MILLTOWN KATE – Full sister to Sheba and similarly not a single mark on her card. Interesting to see how she and her sister perform on sales day but plenty left in the locker that much is for certain.
GOOD GUCCI – Well bred September 2024 bitch from the Kennedy team by Good Cody out of Good Arminta. Bred to be special and schooling reports from back home have been encouraging.
GOOD CARVELA – Full sister to Gucci and similarly not a mark on her card. Reared and schooled by the Kennedy team her new owners will be assured that this youngster has been given the very best start to life.
DROOPYS SALOU – Unraced August 2024 son of Droopys Got it out of Blueberry Bullet the superstar staying bitch. Bred to stay stamina laden trips this lad won’t be seen at his best for sometime to come.
DROOPYS CHIRP – Like the majority of pups heading over from the Droopys team arrives without a single mark on his card. This November 2024 son of Droopys Got it and Droopys Cuckoo is bred to be special and reports from back home indicate he could very well be. Cuckoo a proven dam of many open and top competition class performers it’s likely that Chirp will be in high demand come sales day.
ANOTHER SOLUTION – Unraced April 2024 son of Coolavanny Hoffa out of Starry Display the dam of superstar Swords Rex. Winner of his last trial in 1810 around Thurles this lad looks set to draw plenty of sales day attention.
STERLING LADY – Unraced July 2024 daughter of Ballymac Cashout and Bower Pick a daughter of the superstar brood Droopys Blossom meaning she is closely related to many high class sorts including full brother Droopys Edison. Lady ran out an easy winner of the only trial on her card in 1692 around Kilkenny.
STONEPARK KIRBY – March 2024 son of Droopys Flytline out of Coolavanny Ella an open class lady who ran up in the Irish Oaks Final of 2018 and has since proven herself as a brood of the highest class of greyhound counting the likes of Coolavanny Hoffa and Deadly Missile amongst her illustrious offspring. Kirby won the only trial on his card by 2 ½ lengths in 1657 around Clonmel which is a more than decent start but current connections feel he is showing all the hallmarks of making into an open class sprinter and if staying the four bend trip at full pace falls firmly into the ‘could be anything’ category. Most recent trial is 1821 at Cork on 17th February.
HILIGHT FORCE – Unraced May 2024 son of Ballymac Cashout and Hilight Lucy. The vendor decided to put into a sprint as not likely to stay the 491m trip at Central Park. Will be a nice little dog for the popular graded sprints.
