A greyhound bought by a syndicate in memory of a friend who died from cancer has gone on to win several high-profile races in his first year. The story behind the dog, who is called Mickey's Barrett, could also be developed into a film.
The syndicate bought the dog after their friend Mickey Barrett passed in 2021 and the greyhound has been incredibly successful. The group has since gone on to purchase a second dog which they have named Nottingham Forest after their beloved team.
An open race was held at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium in Colwick in November in Mickey Barrett's memory, with the syndicate's greyhound going on to win the race. Ashley White, a close friend of Mickey's and head of the syndicate, said it was an emotional and well-attended day.
