Welcome to Ladbrokes Gardens.
Yesterday saw the final of our latest Ladbrokes Monthly bonus race, a 400m Maiden with victory going to the Jason Mackay trained Impress Leyton. An unlucky 2nd in his heat, the black son of Barcia Bale and Exciting covered the trip in 22.81 seconds with 3 lengths to spare over Madame Buzzard with a good margin back to his litter brother Impress Troy in 3rd. The winner was handled by Jasons daughter April and the winners presentation will no doubt be the first of many at The Gardens at the beginning of a long career in the greyhound game for April.
A reminder that this week we will return to trialling after the last race on Friday and not Saturday.
Is there any problem with the phone line.
Rang several times between 12 and 4.
Wanted 2 puppy trials.
As per last week, with this Friday being a night meeting, there will be no trials after the last race but we will be trialling after the last race this Saturday.

Newcastle Greyhounds were saddened to hear of the passing of our mate and champion race caller Macca. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Sue and all John's family.
A reminder to owners and trainers that our next Ladbrokes Monthly bonus race is a 400m Maiden with heats on Sat 21/11 and the final on Sat 28/11. Thanks to Ladbrokes, the winner will receive $5900.00. Please feel free to share.
Newcastle Greyhounds would like to acknowledge Kearsley trainer Ron Lambert who passed away last week. A trainer for over 60 years, Ron was one of the first trainers to be contracted to the Canidrome Racetrack in Macau in the 1980s. More recently, Ron was a great supporter of The Gardens where he had a lot of success with his good mate and owner Ted Ciszewski. Probably their best was the fast early bitch Virouette, who began her career winning a heat of the Laurie Healion maiden at The Gardens, and by the end of her career, she had won 17 races, including 8 wins at Wentworth Park. To Rons family and close friends, we offer our sympathy and thoughts.
Due to the continual heavy rain, tonights public and tomorrow's private trials have both been cancelled. We apologise for the inconvenience. Please feel free to share. Thanks.
