Exciting Kickoff for Time Greyhound Nutrition Northern Flat at Newcastle

Shane Rigney, representing the new sponsors, is eagerly anticipating the start of the Time Greyhound Nutrition Northern Flat at Newcastle tonight. Having meticulously studied the form for the six heats, Rigney is ready for the action.

Both Shane and his father Willie, key figures at the Co. Wicklow-based leading greyhound feed supplier, were present at the Star Sports/TRC English Greyhound Derby final at Towcester. They plan to attend the semi-finals and final of the 480m Category One event at Newcastle, where they will meet and greet trainers, many of whom are their clients, as well as potential new customers.

Rigney mentioned that Newcastle and Arc have been excellent in organising the event, and they will have a designated area at the track on semi-final and final nights to interact with trainers and owners. He also welcomed any new interest in their products.

The Rigneys, alongside John Fox and the team at Time, have been actively supporting major events across the UK and Ireland in 2024. They will also be present at Dundalk on Friday for the €20,000 Time Dundalk International, which they are sponsoring for the second consecutive year.

For now, Shane Rigney's focus is on the six heats of the Time Greyhound Nutrition Northern Flat at Newcastle. He shared his insights on the contests, with the first three finishers advancing to Thursday’s semi-finals, leading up to the £12,500 final on July 25. Rigney mentioned receiving a nice picture of Untold Ruble with her breakfast from Tom Heilbron, indicating she is in great shape. He predicted that Untold Euro, despite being a beaten favourite last week, would perform well and possibly reverse the form with Jacktavern Vegas, while Itsallabouted is also a strong contender.

The Time Greyhound Nutrition Northern Flat and Arc Angel of the North heats kick off tonight, live on Premier Greyhound Racing/Attheraces service.
