Hi everybody . I used to follow racing at Belle Vue in the early 70's when I really got the " bug " . This eventually led to owning some dogs and even raising a couple of litters ( with only modest success ) . In due course family came along and a house move further away meant that my participation faded away .
I have always retained an interest to a lesser degree and of course was very sorry to see the demise of Belle Vue !!
One of the main drivers for my initial enthusiasm was the success of a dog owned by my father in law at Belle Vue , trained by Bill Francis it was called " Anchors Aweigh " . Along with all my "Greyhound "Magazines and Greyhound Post Or World ?? the little 4 page publication and my old race cards have long since gone . I have tried to track down Anchors on various Greyhound Databases and can find his possible litter brother " March Anchor " who never raced but no trace of " Anchors " .
Does anyone recall him and better still perhaps an old program with him in that I could perhaps copy . Anchors dam was Scarboro Lady and he was whelped in 72 or 73 to either Winning Hope or earlier litter The Grand Silver so I guess he was racing about 1975 -76 .
A long shot I know but I thought I would ask .
Merry Christmas
Ray
