Supporters of Ted Soppitt’s dogs were saddened by the trainer’s recent confirmation on the dogs being doubtful runners. The trainer faced the public to say that his three entries in the Molson Coors 3 Steps To Victory Trophy, which begins over 480m at Sheffield on Tuesday, are doubtful runners for their entire kennel has been troubled by a respiratory infection. The trainer’s entries are Droopys Joe, Big Ronnie Doppa and Westmead Wings.
Soppitt said: “The whole kennel has been suffering with a respiratory infection and I’m just banging my head against a brick wall at the moment. I entered the three dogs thinking they were fine, but I haven’t been happy over the weekend and have booked a vet’s appointment for Monday. I’d say it’s almost certain that they will be withdrawn.”
A lot of greyhound racing enthusiasts have been anticipating the Category Two 3 Steps To Victory Trophy as it will feature heats over 480m, semis over 500m and a live-on-Sky Sports final over 660m.
Well, it was natural for the supporters to feel bad with the confirmation of the trainer on the dogs that supposedly will be his entries to the much-awaited greyhound racing event. It was too bad that the dogs must see a vet for check-up. Most likely, they have been expecting the presence of the dogs in the race. Of course, they did not like it that the entire kennel has been troubled by a respiratory infection and so the dogs will most likely not make it to the racing event. But then they also knew that there is nothing else that they can do but just accept it and then hope that the dogs will still be able to be into the racing event. The kennel being affected by a respiratory infection was already beyond their control.
