The International Greyhound Services team head to Yarmouth on Thursday 23rd April 2026 for the latest instalment of their ever-popular sales. The stadium doors will open to patrons at 9 a.m., with trials set to commence at 10 a.m. An excellent breakfast will be available to all at the stadium, as will food and drink facilities throughout the day. Yarmouth is an excellent venue and always provides a lively sale, so you are encouraged to attend the track if possible. However, if that’s not an option, the usual online viewing and bidding facilities will be available. Mark Pierrepont, as ever, expertly guides you through the catalogue –
UNDER THE SKIN – Not a mark on the card for this February 2025 bitch pup by Ballymac Cashout out of Docktechnik Diva, who was a strong-running open class winning bitch on the track hailing from the Droopys Coast dam line. She has been schooling well and showing all the signs of a very bright future. Along with her sister Yourenotforgiven, who goes in trial 7, she is one of the youngest in the catalogue. Can only improve hugely over the summer months.
FRANKTON VIEW – British-bred lady by Grangeview Ten out of Queen Leona, the strong-running open class bitch from the Skate On dam line. Staying could eventually be this raw pup’s game, and there’s no doubt she has plenty left in the locker for her new connections.
ONEILLS JET – October 2024 youngster by Good News out of Droopys Zelda, who will need plenty of time to mature into his 79lb frame. One trial currently on the card posting 30.57 around Cork. Looks sure to grade nicely and likely to suit the galloping circuits here in England.
MASHA – Full sister to Oneills Jet and winner of the only trial on her card in 30.07 around Youghal. Will swiftly move through the grades and looks a nice type who could soon rattle off any number of wins as she progresses.
STONEPARK NATHAN – June 2024 son of Coolavanny Hoffa out of Stonepark Molly, an open class bitch on the track and proven producer as a brood. Nathan has two trials on his card, posting a decent 29.48 around Limerick just this week.
DROMBEG LYRA – October 2024 daughter of Signet Ace and Cielo, who counts the Tom Heilbron-trained Droopys Link among her relations — a puppy final winner at Newcastle who recently followed up with an all-aged final success at the same venue. Just the one sprint trial currently on her card, posting 19.51 around Limerick, but plenty of improvement to come. No doubt she wants further.
WILL HE SHINE – December 2024 son of Ballymac Cashout and Nice As Ice. Reared and schooled to the usual high standards expected of the McCusker team. Will He Shine has every chance of doing just that in a career which promises much.

MYSTICAL ROCKY – June 2024 son of Wi Can Dream out of Mystical Moll, who regularly produces open and competition class offspring, including Unanimouspanther, the 2024 National Produce Stakes Champion at Clonmel and Select Stakes Champion around Nottingham the same year. Quality breeding – could be anything.
MYSTICAL OTIS – Full brother to Rocky, with one moderate sprint trial on the card around Galway. Weighing in at over 40 kilos, this lad can only improve with time. The galloping circuits should play to his strengths and size ideally.

Expected to run well if he takes to Yarmouth’s tricky circuit.
GOOD AZZARO – September 2024 son of Good Cody and Good Arminta from the Kennedy team. Pleasing in home work and sure to develop into a nice type for new connections.
