After his initial contact and discussion amongst ourselves, it was agreed that Derek would ask one of his contacts in Ireland to look out for a dog at the sort of price that we were willing to pay.

Having become a little disillusioned with the way they were being run, we decided that we would buy a greyhound, that could race at Hove, and we would be able to watch on a regular basis and own in its entirety.
