Westmead Hawk....by a mile

I had the honour to see him race a few times and certainly the greatest crowd-pleaser, Scurlogue Champ. Fearless Action was a rocket. Best seen over 6 bends Bubbly Totti. Always rated Eden Star very highly, winning the Laurels and holds that amazing clock at Romford

Hurdles, Platinumlancelot was an absolute tool. Gizmo Pasha too, Pantile etc...quite a few.
There would also be hundreds of Stow dogs I suppose, just cant recall them |
|
By:
Without a doubt the best overall greyhound would be ballyreagan bob. Anyone like to disagree ?
|

Used to go to Rommers every FRiday knowing that Lycaon and Creamery Bridge would win. They wouldn't be the best but definitely amongst the most looked forward too on a regular basis.
I would have got goosebumps if I had ever seen Champ, surely there is no contest in that regard |
|
By:
I swear I saw big mike win at cork as well, impressive , took a whack and still won if memory serves me correctly
|
|
By:
He won in a garbage time that night, it was the first round of the Laurels and PJ pulled him out then
|
|
By:
time didn't come into it, feck knows how he won it from the hit he took
|

This is a 'betting without' Bob market I take it as he was on a different planet.
Some Picture was a phenomenal dog, one of my all time favourites. My namesake wouldn't have lived with him when S.P. was on the bunny. Having said that neither would have Westmead Hawk. |
|
By:
Too young to have had pleasure of Bob or Champ (or go to White City) so for me live.... Some Picture at W'don, Larkhill Jo awesome pace down the BS at Wembley on some cold winter night, is the fastest pace I've ever seen, but my fav. was Chart King around Shawfield and W'don (did not see the Hawk live)
|

By:
For me w hawk overrate when we talk of the best. for me mug two Derbys with lucky runs never be in my top 20
|
|
By:
 lucky runs? - i love the hawk.Wash your mouth out flap.  |
|
By:
This has been done on here before many times, Westmead Hawk was a great dog, two Derby wins says it all.
Having said that, the only view he would have had in a match with Some Picture would have have been his tail wagging in the distance as Some Picture was 4 clear passing the winning line. I'd back Lartigue Note and Hit The Lid against Hawk any day of the week in a match bet as well. |
|
By:
When you say the best how many get pick up when in front hawk would need wings
For me savva had better dogs. lark ill joe. sonic flight west Harry phantom flash ? |
|
By:
Sorry, can't at all have it that the Hawk had two lucky runs to win his Derby's. How he extricated himself from a sandwich between Blue Majestic and Mineola Farloe, on the run up to the first bend, and thus secure a run round on the inside, was simply phenomenal. Magical. I had a shedload of dosh coming if Blonde Mac had managed to win but don't at all feel bitter or anything like it. The Hawk wasn't lucky, he was brilliant - at Wimbledon. In saying that, match races are something totally different and I am willing to concede that he would have been no certainty against Some Picture who was a truly special greyhound.

Never got to see Scurlogue or Bob run but I was 16 when I saw Some Picture and was convinced I would never see a better dog then him in my life then Westmead Hawk came along. I cant split them they are both legends and if I get to see one better or as good as these two then I will hit the floor in amazement
|
|
By:
hawk the most intelligent tracker i have ever seen or am ever likely to see in my lifetime imo,think college causeway is the fastest dog i have ever seen race though
|

By:
don't forget Barnfield on Air, very fast. cheers.
