For those of you that follow the Albion greyhounds we have some sad news, Albion Star (Lara) has run her last race, she ran her last race on 17th April winning in the only was she knew, finishing late and fast to get up on the line, in her last race she was judged to have turned her head, which basically means she looked to fight with another runner, she is due to come into season shortly which would mean 3 months off the track then to get her back she has to do clearing trials to try and prove turning her head isn't a regualr thing, this can take a lot of time and then if she were to turn her head again she DQ for good, so in consultation with Jason Heath her trainer we felt as Lara will soon be 4 years old and she has run 114 races and she is in good health it was time for her to be retired, the syndicate will be looking to re-home her shortly.
Lara has become a bit of a celeb at the track and on sky TV because of the way she ran, she has given the syndicate 2 1/2 years of great enjoyment, she has one last trophy to pick up in May sometime for her 100 races. Although the syndicate could never replace our Lara another addition to the syndicate runners will hopefully be added shortly.
