Ardkill Jamie closes in on sub 28 second run

THE long awaited sub 28 second run by a dog for the standard trip at an Irish track may be imminent after Ardkill Jamie set the Cashmans Bookmakers Irish Greyhound Laurels alight with a spectacular 28.03 national record run in heat 10 on Saturday night.

Just over a half length improvement on that in any forthcoming round would see the Paul Hennessy trained dog cement his place in greyhound history.

The previous record at the track was 28.08 held by Fat Budgie, also trained by Hennessy.
