Romeo Cypher, trained by David Mullins, clinched a record-breaking victory. The £10,000 BGBF British Bred Puppy Cup took place at Oxford Stadium. The greyhound set a new 450-metre track record, finishing in 26.47 seconds. It's the fastest time for this distance.
The event marked the year's first Category One competition. Romeo Cypher led from start to finish. Following closely were brothers Keefill Maverick and Keefill Goose. Phil Milner trained them. They secured second and third places. Oxfordshire's Union Rebel, Beach Bull, and Union Blizzard rounded out the minor positions.
Romeo Cypher started his career at Romford in September. He notched his seventh career win with this remarkable performance. Rhianne Mullins, part of the Mullins team, is the trainer's daughter. She expressed delight over the win. She highlighted Romeo Cypher's growth since Romford. She noted his increased strength and excitement for prospects.
The win in this prestigious Category One event boosts the team's morale. This is especially true because of the potential of the litter Romeo Cypher hails from.
