PANTHERS BLUEY
Profile
BLUEY (Blue May ’16 bitch) was purchased by Yvonne having raced 6 times at Mullingar. She had potential in the very new breeding but nothing to show for her races in Ireland, however, these are the type of dogs that Yvonne has done very well for us previous. Touchwood and so it is proving, with Bluey progressing nicely through the grades and now racing over 6 bends.
Sire – SECRETO (Scolari Me Daddy)
Won 6 from 13 races and rated 136 on greyhound data which is certainly no mean feat ! Open grade dog. Only 3 other offspring alongside Bluey.
Bitch – VAGRANT ROBIN (WESTMEAD HAWK)
Was unraced and she has had only the one offspring to race and that is us !
Racing Form / Plans
Racing very well for her owners and notching up the wins !
Now just started handicapping (and winning) over 6 bends. Gets the trip well.

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.
