Greyhound of the Week - Atascocita Kosta (05/10/14)
It is a very rare occasion when a long winning streak develops due to the intense competition here at Gulf Greyhound Park in La Marque, Texas and there is a saying which states one must respect a streak. Three weeks ago, Atascocita Kosta from Libby Racing Kennels attracted all of the attention with a run of three consecutive top grade AA victories to capture the Greyhound of the Week honors for the first time in his young career. Since then, the good times have continued for owner George Ulmer of Atascocita Racing and trainer Troy Tinney as the 74-pound red son of Kiowa Sweet Trey -- Atascocita Edith has added three more front running efforts to extend his current winning streak to six in a row and earning the spotlight as the Greyhound of the Week again while improving his impressive record in 2014 to 15/11-1-1-1.

Greyhound of the Week - LD Fly Red Tail (01/31/15)
The surroundings may have changed but the winning trend has remained the same for LD Fly Red Tail earning the Greyhound of the Week honors for the second time in just over a month. When we last visited the 74-pound red son of Kelsos Lorenzo – Fly Two Forks born on October 22, 2011, LD Fly Red Tail had just made his final start for Sambade Racing, LLC who departed Gulf Greyhound Park at the conclusion of 2014. With a new year came new scenery as LD Fly Red Tail moved to Tri-State Kennel and under the guidance of trainer Leon Giguere, has made a smooth transition with a current three race winning streak and continues to be the dominant athlete over the 330-yard super sprint course.
Greyhound of the Week - Ruff Flame (02/08/14)
After a very successful 2013 campaign at Gulf Greyhound Park which included 16 wins and a third place finish in the finals of the $50,000 Diane Whitely Sprint Championship, Ruff Flame from K-Rod Kennel has put together a pair of hard earned victories to earn the Greyhound of the Week honors to improve his record this year to 5/2-0-1-2.
Since posting a top grade AA victory on November 29, the months of December and January were very difficult for the 67-pound white/red son of TK Quick Strike -- Oh Yeah Baby posting only one grade A victory during a period of nine trips around the 550-yard racing oval. The tide turned for the better on January 29 as Ruff Flame overcame a difficult #5 post-position draw with a front running effort under extreme pressure posting a one length victory.
The icing on the cake arrived on Thursday evening February 6 as Ruff Flame proved the best in a four way battle down the stretch to earn back to back triumphant trips. Drawing the green and white stripes of the #7 post position, Ruff Flame had to overcome some adversity early in the race after being forced wide around the first turn but rallied quickly to position himself in second place behind race leader Sakkara Bowie from Lingle Kennel. With Kells Casanova of Tri-State Kennel shadowing every stride just to the outside, Ruff Flame continued to close the gap on Sakkara Bowie before finally putting his nose in front for good down the stretch and crossing the finish line by the narrow margin of a head in a time of 31.42 seconds.
This latest run of success improves the career record of Ruff Flame to an impressive 93/24-12-11-14. Congratulations are in order for owner Charter Kennel, Inc., trainer Cindy Unrein and of course to Ruff Flame for earning the Greyhound of the Week honors for the second time.
