I saw Selina break the clock at Catford over the extreme trip of 1050 metres. As far as I can recall it was never beaten.

Salina took part in a four dog special at Crayford over 1056mts taking on Keem Princess (she was trained by Derek Law) Spring Fly and Geekay Hercules were the other two making the numbers.
Salina had won 11 on the bounce before Keem beat her a neck at Hove, they were both prolific race winners and Salina was practically unbeatable round Romford. Happy days!! |

Go Ahead Girl was trained by Terry Duggan, she won 17 open races on the bounce but was beaten in a match race with Bristols 'Tell You What' while trying to beat westpark mustards 21 open wins in a row

SALINA-racecourse debut 647m open at Southend unusual for any dog to start career over six bends. She was a fantastic marathon bitch coming from a different parish to win many opens.She was rarely beaten but i do remember a northern bitch called Keem Princess catching her in a 1000 yard race at Crayford.She was trained by George Lang who was attached to Rye House. I think her big year was 1981 and she may have been Go ahead girls (another great marathon star) daughter.

Cormacruiser I loved that dog. He has played a big part in my identity. Railer, stayer, fawn. I once won enough to buy a curry for three on that boy when I was barely a teen.

You got him Iris....great dog, won loads of races and was a class act over 6 bends. Do you remember when he was well supported in an open and he did not go well early...someone took out an insurance policy and a sand bag was placed on the hare rail off the last bend?

Most insurance rips you off. What's your number?

Salona: August 1978 Glin Bridge ex Go Ahead Girl, (if ever a dog was bred to be a stayer/marathon runner). (Not sure about the following, can somebody clarify): Track Record 880y Crayford. Winner of marathon match race at White City London v Keem Princess
|
|
By:
Keem Princess was trained by Derek Law, and was named because of his association with Tony Meek (KEEM).
Was at Bristol once when the bitch was long odds on and the crowd it booed very very loudly when it was beaten 15 lengths. However they were not used to races that long and of course roared approval on the third circuit and she won a distance. |

Of course, you get the perennial boo-boy whenever an odds-on chance appears to be running badly. People will talk through their pockets!
