Kate Harrison’s sprinter, Different Speed, has surged ahead in the win column, pulling four wins clear of the competition this year. Having clearly found a track he excels on, it's easy to overlook that he was a Scurry finalist in 2023. While some might question the level of his opponents, Harrison's skill in maintaining the dog’s peak physical and mental condition is undeniable.
Different Speed now joins an elite group as only the sixth greyhound in the past decade to achieve 20 open class race wins in a single year. The others include Laughil Jess with 26 wins in 2023, Droopys Live with 20 in 2019, Chopchop Hope with 20 in 2018, Razldazl Raidio with 22 in 2017, and Cape Impact with 21 in 2015.
