Your The Tops trumps the competition in A2 race at Romford
At the Coral Romford Greyhound Stadium, the top dogs always have the advantage in each 400m race. Your The Tops was one of those top dogs, as he topped five fierce competitors to win the
A2 race.

place. Fourth place belonged to Show Destiny (3-1), who bumped the run up and first to complete the race in 25.00. She was 1½ lengths out of top-three contention.

to claim the victory in 24.74. Black Eyed Jack (7-2) moved quickly away and lead near the finish line. He would go on to match the winning time of 24.74, which was a shoulder behind the champion.
