By Palm Beach Jason

What an exciting month of racing just wrapped up here at Palm Beach! Along with the superstars continuing to shine and the youngsters showing their stuff in the Puppy Stakes Tournament, this place continues to be one of the top tracks in the country.

Here are the Top 10 greyhounds for August currently racing at “The Beach.”

-Up 2 spots from last month

-16.51 secs best time

6 race winning streak going in August. 70% winner this season and owns five of the top six times of any super sprinter. Like A Fox better come back soon or this racer may run away with the season wins title.

2 . JS SpeedyPebbles ~ Sprinter ~ Koppe, Staats & Collins Kennel

-Down 1 spot from last month

-29.45 secs best time “The Queen of Palm Beach” had an average month of racing which knocked her out of the top spot. The 60% career winner can win from any box and when she is on, is absolutely lethal. She is by far the most popular racer to follow for fans at Palm Beach.

-Puppy Stakes runner-up.

-First time in the Top 10!

-Current season wins leader with 8

The rookie sensation reeled off 4 straight W’s in the Puppy Stakes Tourney before catching a bad break in the Final. This is a bonafide superstar, who could challenge for some major stakes titles this winter.

The season wins champ from last season is on a current rest. Has the best rivalry in the country going with Kennel mate Bae Sang.

6 . Superior Jamaica ~ Sprinter ~ B & B Racing

-First time this season in the Top 10
