Profile
HAVANA BLACKBIRD (ANNA) Nov ’13 bitch pup KINLOCH BRAE X CONSTANT CHARMER
Ana has been a good dog to have owned by her syndicate. Always runs a solid race and tries to do her best every 
time. Our oldest dog with Yvonne and a real role model.
Sire – KINLOCH BRAE
He raced in America and was top notch, winning 29 of 72 races before becoming a sire. He is a red brindle dog of 32 k and has sired well over 4,000 offspring and is a sire of sires. Pic courtesy of the greyhound data website.
Bitch – CONSTANT CHARMER (Cashen Legend)
She ran 19 races, winning 6 and was an OPEN grade dog. No pic available. (Cashen Legend was himself a very good sire and race dog).
Racing Form / Plans
Ana has just returned from season and has started racing again.

YVONNE BELL
YVONNE BELL
Yvonne (pictured left on photo alongside racehorse trainer Rebecca Menzies, myself, racehorse stud owner and former ladies amateur champion rider Lucy Horner and racehorse trainer Lucinda Egerton on a Christmas night out at Sunderland dogs) needs no introduction to those who follow the greyhounds as she has had a lifetime around them. Her parents were very active on the flapping circuit and Yvonne (married to John) has been training in her own right for well over 30 years now. Her daughter Melanie is married to Newcastle trainer Jimmy Fenwick and her other daughter Carolyn goes racing everyday with Yvonne. Grandson Lewis is an active fund raiser (very successfully) for the retired greyhounds, as well as being very keen on the dogs when school time permits and he has his licence for leading up the dogs which is a big help for Yvonne who has 60 + dogs in her care and is contracted to the Sunderland greyhound track. Best dog over the years has probably been Littlemoor Larry who won the Gold Cup at Sunderland. However, some of the best moments have been when seeing dogs she has raised from pups or purchased as pups climbing through the grades for their owners. Yvonne remains as competitive today as the day she started out.
Yvonne has a continuous high winning % strike rate (around 25% average).

SUNDERLAND GREYHOUND STADIUM
Based on the North West of Sunderland, it has easy access from the A19. The track had a major upgrade in the 1990's and is now owned since 2017 by ARC who own several horse racetracks including the local Newcastle and Sedgefield tracks purchased it along with Newcastle greyhound track from William Hill Bookmakers.
For graded greyhound racing, it is good prize money and two races taking centre stage for the Festival of Racing Finals Night meeting in July is the William Hill Classic (£15,000) and the William Hill Grand Prix (£25,000) plus an excellent supporting race card worth many thousands.
Racing at Sunderland takes place on Tuesday afternoons, Wed evenings, Thurs mornings, Frid night and Sun mid day. There are many offers that take place with food and drinks. There is a very smart 150 cover restaurant overlooking the track and again there are many value packages available if booking a table.
Racing itself is competitive and distances raced are 261 / 450 / 640 /metres on a circuit of 378 metres. It tends to favour the sharp dogs.
Sunderland management have been very good with PANTHER, giving owners many privileges. You will be registered at the track as an owner if taking up a share in a dog with ourselves and receive ALL ownership privileges and discounts.
