CLICK HERE Summer of 1973 I witnessed this Irish pup / dog break the track record first look / race at Harringay Can someone confirm my memory is sound or Im dreaming again. If I am correct I think out of respect we need to acknowledge on GD. TJS Silver bloodline is in Australia, awesome damline The betting ring I was in regular track goers were stunned by this dog track record Would appreciate some UK research please

Graham,
Information/records are very limited and sketchy, as far as I know and can gather, T.J.'s Silver broke Camira's Story's 525 yard Harringay track record (28.39) on the 14th July 1972, setting a new time standard of 28.32, however, some have it as him setting it in 1973?
For clarification (if possible), I will do a bit more research.

Many Thanks David Nice to know my memory still ok. My understanding was TJS went open racing after breaking track record, unfortunately broke a hock. 1972 /73 yes one of those years. Patricias Hope sired by Silver Hope Was a good box dog with a lot of early pace, TJS the same running style, he went past me 4/5 off the rail when breaking Harringay TR I never saw Lively Band ( Silver Hope ) race, word around was he liked to have a looksie so they retired him and sent to Australia for stud duties, I think he was ignored by Aussie breeders because of that.
