Seamus Cahill made it 2 years in a row, winning the RPGTV Puppy Derby Final with Make Noise after Surprising winning it in the previous year. Delayed due to fog, everyone was desperate to see this competitive race run. This race looked set for all 6 greyhounds to take the win but it was Jan 20’ dog for owners Keylight Hire Ltd that would take the race in great style.
Heat 3 winner Signet Denver and Make Noise trapped the best in the final and the pair fought it out for the lead around the first bend but Make Noise on the inside was able to avoid the trouble in behind to take the race and extend his advantage, winning in a time of 29.71s, in front of a fast finishing Call Me Steve. This added to the list of Cat 1 winners for Seamus Cahill at Towcester, who will be hoping that Make Noise will be able to continue its growth to feature in the Greyhound Derby and repeat the triumph of Astute Missile that won it in 2017.
Towcester wish all congratulations to Seamus Cahill and connections. Also a massive thank you to RPGTV for their continued sponsorship of this competition.
