Comeback of Ellis at Newcastle Trial

Posted by Mary in Greyhound Betting News on 10 28th, 2009 | no responses

Head Iton Ellis was last seen during the Blue Square Derby Plate final at Wimbledon last May 30. The greyhound actually won in the said event at Wimbledon several months ago. But just recently, a lot of greyhound racing and betting enthusiasts anticipated his return leading to Newcastle for a trial on Thursday.

Ellis is being worked out by Steve Race with the hopes of being ready for the William Hill All England Cup heats at the track just a week later. The greyhound was remembered having a broken metatarsal during summer and just recently having a bout of coughing and a strained hock. But despite everything that he has gone through, he was able to please trainer Race by having a time of 17.92sec (normal) in a 305m sprint trial before racing on Monday at Nottingham.

Race seemed really optimistic with regards to Ellis possible performance at Newcastle all because of what the greyhound has shown at Nottingham. The trainer actually said that, “it’s been a bit of a nightmare with him really”. And in addition, “and I’m probably a couple of weeks behind where I’d like to be. But I couldn’t have asked more from the Nottingham trial and hopefully he’ll carry that forward to Newcastle. Obviously he’s going to be a bit short of his best going into the competition, but I’ve got to get the runs into him because I want to go for the [Betfred] Eclipse at Nottingham after that”.

A greyhound racer may actually get injuries and illnesses at any time. Perfect example of which is the case of Ellis, the greyhound got broken metatarsal and then after a bout of coughing and a strained hock. But then a greyhound racer is expected to still come out a winner after sickness and Race’s greyhound didn’t fail to.
