SOUTHLAND Preview - Saturday evening, April 4 - 2015 $20,000 HOUND MADNESS STAKES FINALS

Saturday's evening greyhound card is highlighted by the running of the SOUTHLAND 2015 $20,000 HOUND MADNESS STAKES FINALS in Race 10. The competition has been reduced from 64 greyhounds to now only two, CHASMO'S DIESEL and COUNSELOR. Both of these extremely talented greyhounds have shown thru out their impressive young careers that they are deserving of all the accolades that they've received to this point and the sky is the limit for what they may accomplish in their racing futures. Best of luck to each of them as well as to their owners, kennels, trainers and all others involved with them. It should be one incredible race between two outstanding racers who we may be seeing on next year's greyhound All-American teams. I have also picked a few races that drew my interest and have listed them below in addition to the HOUND MADNESS stakes final.

RACE 2 - Grade TAA - 703 yards - key the (1) KR ALL AMPED UP with the 2/4/6

RACE 6 - Grade D - 583 yards - MONEYMAKER pick of the evening - key the (6) SE'S THE SACHO with the 2/4/7

RACE 10 - Southland 2015 $20,000 HOUND MADNESS FINALS

Box 1 - CHASMO'S DIESEL - 20 career starts - 12-5-0-1 - 18 top four finishes

Box 3 - COUNSELOR - 40 career starts - 20-4-9-5 - 38 top four finishes

My pick to win - CHASMO'S DIESEL

RACE 13 - Grade AA - 660 yards - key the (3) PJ REFINED with the 1/4/5/7
