West Palm Beach, Fl. – Qualifying for Palm Beach Kennel Club’s $20,000 Gallagher / Kinnaird Puppy Stakes continues with second-round action Saturday afternoon, August 17.

The $20,000 Gallagher / Kinnaird Puppy Stakes championship final will be contested Monday afternoon, September 2, Labor Day.
Some interesting puppy stake qualifying match-ups include:
In Race 8, round-one victor and paying off an unbelievable $117.00-win price, #3 Ashado (Trent Lee – Notorious, Ryan Racing Kennel) will be facing off against two strong pups in good post positions, #1 Grean Street (Flying Coal City – Kebo Cutler, Rader Racing) and the super-early speedster #5 Bartschumpchange (KC And All – Bartssheswaycool, James Douglas).
No first-round winners in Race 10 but keep an eye on a most-impressive puppy stakes entry, #1 B’s Breva (SH Avatar – Oaks Mocha, Janie Carroll).
Race 12 highlights two first-round winners, #2 Rafe Up Theriver (CTW Pipe Down – Lonely Heart, D. Q Williams) and the well-positioned #8 Imark Tequila (Barcelona Boss – Magic Droid, B & B Racing). Both may face some early heat from the strong first-turn rusher #5 Midget Wrestling (Flying Coal City – Juke Box Hero, Rader Racing).
The final qualifier of the afternoon in Race 15 features one of the pre-championship favorite to win it all, Rader Racing Kennel’s #1 Stay Awhile (Flying Coal City – Juke Box Hero). As with last Wednesday afternoon’s qualifying, a good Greyhound to key him with is the impressive round-one victor #7 Flight Tracker (Lonesome Cry – Fraulein Morgan, Janie Carroll).
A qualifier will also be held in race 14.
Post time for the first race Saturday afternoon is 1:00 p.m. with gates opening at 11:30 a.m.
