dmdsmoxie Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 That was one horrible break by Quick Shot, but she more than made up for it with a great stretch run. She is on to grade C and needs to hit her break better as the competition gets tougher. She has only had a few races and hopefully she will learn.

TexasMermaid Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 What a comeback for QS in the stretch! She looks so much like her momma - coloring and compact body shape and movement - it is like getting to see what Trixie would have looked like at Quick Shot's age. So fun for me to see! Super exciting that she won even with that bad start - hoping she will learn quickly. Is there any way to find out what their call name is? I suppose trying to contact the trainer is the best way?

dmdsmoxie Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Here is the contact information for Daytona. I would send an email and tell them you adopted Quick Shot's dam, Most Aggressive, and enjoy watching QS and was wondering what her kennel name is. Hopefully you get an answer. http://www.daytonagreyhound.com/Contact-Us.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locket Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I have a little question for all of you. Who do you contact for pre-adoption? I was told by Donna Noble's trainer to contact Teddy Palmer who does the adoptions for Alvie Simons (her owner) yet, she hasn't responded to my e-mail. Should I call? Teddy or the owner? I don't want to be rude, I know those people must be really busy...Additionally, if you have ever had to deal with these people, I'll take any advice you may have Thanks for the advice Quote Cynthia, with Charlie (Britishlionheart) & Zorro el GalgoCaptain Jack (Check my Spots), my first love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is usually good to work with and maybe your first email just got lost in the shuffle. Teddy moves a lot of dogs each year and is always on the go.

teri_d Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Thanks all! A bit crazy here between being gone for a week, laundry, getting everybody adjusted to everybody and phog getting acquainted with retirement. He is HUGE! Makes ronee look small and jill tiny...lol. He is very gentle and sweet. 21 hours in the car and he was a real trooper - couldn't have been any better. His only vice so far is that he would really prefer water from the toilet than his water dish - lids down for awhile here. He found toys a bit ago and is in heaven deciding what to play with -pretty hilarious - my girls are just laying looking at him like he's crazy. It's cold here - when we put a coat on him this morning, his muzzle was still hooked there by it from unloading (we don't muzzle here) and he wanted it - I know he thought he was entered today...poor guy. We spent the night in Tupelo, ms on the way home - in the morning there was a white pickup packing up - he started pulling that way and trying to run toward it - we noticed at his kennel the trainer drove a white pick up - know he thought Henry was there too. I have pictures but am still quite unskilled at posting so it will take me a little time to get them loaded and I don't have that right now - bear with me! soon.......thanks all for your interest!!!!

Batmom Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 teri_d, your little story made me smile. Glad you are all home safe and that his first days with you have gone well. I'm pretty sure my first two greyhounds (and some after that) thought they were going to race every time I put them in the car .

dmdsmoxie Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Tonight is the Daytona 550. If is one of biggest races of the year as it's an invitational race so some of the best dogs from different tracks are at Daytona. Here is the line-up. https://www.facebook.com/Daytona550/photos/a.804646116265945.1073741828.803626796367877/1057501800980374/?type=3&theater United Greyhound Racing put this race on the last two years and it should be a great race.

TexasMermaid Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Waiting to watch Quick Shot in race 7 tonight at Daytona in grade C. I found that one of her littermates (Mrl Overpaid) was in a schooling race at Orange Park on Thursday (1/21) and is scheduled next for Monday (1/25). Should be fun to follow her too. The Daytona 550 should be an exciting race tonight with both Seldom Told and Need My MoneyNow racing. I've been watching the commentary on the live stream in between races and it is interesting to hear the viewpoints. Our first two adopted greys had no offspring, so I never paid much attention to the racing world. Now with our Trixie having a potential of 7 racers starting their careers now, it has sparked my curiosity. I'm really thankful that this thread is here, still going after so many years! I have learned so much already - so much more to learn though. Thank you Nancy and Dick!!!

dmdsmoxie Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Jennifer, I would guess that the rest of Quick Shots littermates will be showing up soon. Once one or two show up the rest aren't far behind. Good luck to Quick Shot tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdsmoxie Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 That was a pretty ugly race for Quick Shot. If the 8 didn't rush up and shut her off she would have been fine. She was still running hard at the end so she doesn't give up. Because Daytona shows the replay in slo-mo you can see the dogs change leads. As you may or may not know the greyhounds have to be on their left-lead going around the turns and they switch to their right-lead in the straightaways. The last paw down on their left-lead is their left front and you can clearly see that in slo-mo. Then watch as they are on the straightaway and their right front is now the last paw down because they have switched leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasMermaid Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Guess she's going to have to learn how to position herself better to not get cut off? She does look like she has heart and loves to run. Thank you for the explanation about left-lead/right-lead. I didn't know that before you explained. The slo-mo replay is helpful for seeing it. When we were watching the results, we saw the letters "SCR" by her name. Does that mean scratch? Just curious.

dmdsmoxie Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 What a great race. many people didn't think Husker Magic could break with this field and being in the 7 box was a big disadvantage. But, we were all wrong as the "old lady" showed us there is still a lot of fight in them old bones. I loved the 8, Needmymoneynow, as he has tremendous speed and had the advantage of the 8 box. I figured he would break, shut the 7 off and Husker Magic would be done, but the old girl broke on top and rushed the turn on top with Needmoremoneynow in hot pursuit. Needmoremoneynow was going to pass Husker Magic at the far turn and she shut him off and I thought he was done and Magic would win. However, Needmoremoneynow had other ideas and dug in and in a very gutsy performance caught Magic deep in the stretch. Here is the replay. http://www.trackinfo.com/video-box.jsp?raceid=gDB%2420160123E10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing about the race is the two oldest dogs in the race showed the young ones a thing or two. Husker Magic has won 96 races and almost got number 97. She turns 4 in April so she should have no problem getting to 100 unless the owners decide this is it for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
