A Nottingham syndicate that bought a greyhound in honour of a friend that died from cancer could be running at the world's most prestigious race later this month. Mickys Barrett is one run away from competing in the English Greyhound Derby Final.
The greyhound was purchased by a 67-strong syndicate shortly after their friend Micky Barrett died from cancer in 2021. The two-year-old dog is already a finalist in the ARC Northern Puppy Derby and the ARC Northern Flat, and is less than 30 seconds away from competing in the English Greyhound Derby Final.
Mickys Barrett will compete in a semi-final showdown at Towcester Racecourse on Saturday (June 18). The final is on the following Saturday (June 25).
