Palm Beach Top 10
Rankings May 2014
By Palm Beach Jason
What a
fantastic month of racing Palm Beach just had in the month of May! Irish Cup Stakes races and superstars at
their finest were the main highlights, along with new up and coming greyhounds starting
to make their mark at the track.
Here are my
Top 10 Rankings for the month of May at the Palm Beach Kennel Club.
#1 KB’s Like A Fox ~ 301 yard Super Sprinter ~ Rader Racing
-Last month Ranking #3 (up two spots)
-First time as the #1 racer here!
-Season wins leader with 35
Time to give “The Fox” his due. The soon to be season wins champ also has the fastest super sprint time of 16.38 secs ever at Palm Beach (tied with Bae Sang) Finally bested rival Bae Sang on 5/31 in their third ever matchup. One of the top super sprinters in the country without a doubt.
#2 Flying The Who ~ 660 Yard Racer ~ Royal Racing Team
-Last month Ranking #9 (up seven spots, biggest mover on the list)
-37.64 secs best time
The best middle distance racer at this track. With most of the top competition moving on to Southland Park, “The Who” has been dominant. 3 wins in May and could be the best here for a very long time.
#3 Bae Sang ~ 301 Yard Super Sprinter ~Rader Racing
-Last month Ranking #1 (down two spots)
-Track record holder for fastest super sprint time (16.38 secs, tied with KB’s Like A Fox)
One of the top super sprinters ever to run here. Only raced once this month after getting an extended rest. The rivalry with KB’s Like A Fox is just outstanding.
#4 Juggernaut ~ 545 Yard Racer ~ B & B Racing
-Last month Ranking #6 (up two spots)
-5 wins this month
The Puppy Stakes runner-up from owner Steve Schlachter had an outstanding month of racing. Has finished in the Quinela in nine of his last ten races, with seven wins in that stretch. Is the hottest racer at the 545 yard distance currently going.

-Last month Ranking #7 (up two spots)

60% winning percentage for Pebbles this season. Won four races in a row this month and was a runner-up in the Irish Cup Finals on Memorial Day.
