Gordon emigrating to Australia

LEADING greyhound trainer Pat Gordon has decided to emigrate to Australia with his family and expects to depart in the new two months.

The likeable Enniscorthy man burst to prominence back in 2009 when Fatboyz Nodrog emerged as a serious tracker and became one of the favourites for the Irish Derby after winning the Champion Stakes at Shelbourne. Within a few months the Comerford Cakes National Puppy Stake was claimed via Fatboyz Tyson and since then he has been an ever-present among the Saturday night Shelbourne winners.

“Angela and I have been talking about going to Australia for years and both of us want to do it, “ said Gordon. “I am 34 now and it would be too late to do it if we didn’t go now.”
