Bramble Kennel's Comeback with Promising Hounds
Newcastle promoter Steve Anderson is hopeful for a resurgence of the 'Bramble' prefix in the open race scene with three promising hounds. Notably, Glengar Elvis, formerly trained by Pat Buckley, boasts strong Irish form, including a runner-up finish in the Barry 600 Final at Shelbourne. Now named Bramble Elvis, he clocked an impressive 28.72 in a qualifying trial at Newcastle, gearing up for the Maiden Derby at Towcester. The kennel's other prospects, Bramble Oreo and Bramble Tango, aim to follow in the footsteps of past stars Reggie, Magpie, and Millburn, bringing renewed optimism to the kennel after a challenging year.
