Chasen Tail is the Top 3/8ths Greyhound at Mardi Gras Racetrack

Chasen Tail is unsurpassed as the premier 3/8ths racer at Mardi Gras Greyhound Track and Entertainment Center in Miami. Chasen Tail is currently on a seven race winning streak at Mardi Gras, also known as Hollywood Greyhound Park, and has never run worse than fourth place in any of his seventeen races over the 1,980 foot distance. Chasen Tail is also an accomplished sprinter, having made the finals of the 2007 Futurity back in January, but it is the route that this red male is going to make his mark at the Florida oval.

Born on February 26th, 2005, Chasen Tail started running at Mardi Gras last July. After a rough debut in his first official race, Chasen Tail rapidly rose up the grading ladder at Hollywood in impressive fashion. Ridiculously easy victories in his next four times out put him in the top grade, and in only his second A start he found himself in the winner's circle. However, in his next nine outings, Chasen Tail was chasing other dogs around the track, failing to score a triumph in any of these contests but hitting the board in six of them. On October 12th he was entered in his first 3/8ths affair, in which the son of Golddust Memory and Talk N Doing ran a strong third.

The next two times he ran, Chasen Tail won over the 3/8ths course at Mardi Gras; both instances he came from behind the race leaders, showing a strong closing kick down the stretch to secure his wins. In his next five times to post, Tail won one race and finished in the money in three out of the other four. A one month layoff did nothing to slow him down when he came back on December 19th and won by five lengths, beating the early speedster Rush Country to the wire late. The Futurity began two days before Christmas of 2006 and Chasen Tail moved back to the 5/16ths distance. In the three elimination rounds he was hardly challenged, winning the trio of trials by a combined 20 lengths, clocking a quick 30.38 time in his last one. But in the finals he broke last from the two box, was bumped at the first bend and came in fifth by three and a half lengths. It was time for Chasen Tail to leave the sprints behind and concentrate on the 3/8ths events.
