GREYHOUNDS: Brothers' Long Tom triumph
The three-year-old favourite from the locally-based kennel maintained an early lead to win by a three-quarters length. Runner-up was Oh Golly, owned and trained at the McMillan kennels at Port Glasgow.
Meanwhile, there was a winning double for the Beith kennels at Bonnybridge. Real Fire, a two-year-old bitch, took the honours over the sprint distance finishing 1.45 lengths ahead of It's A Whistler, a four-year-old dog from Brian Simpson of Carnforth. Next, over the middle distance, Beith's Real Fun enjoyed a runaway 4.75 lengths victory from West Cumbrian challenger Dunwell.
