Part of the fun in owning a racing greyhound for many is selecting an appropriate racing name for the dog.

Might sound easy but I have often been disappointed when told that I could not use a certain name, the reason being that you can not use a name that has been registered in the last 12 years.

So the search is always on for something original and trainer Gemma Davidson has, with her latest litter to make the race card, gone for names which we will all know as cockney rhyming slang.

The early signs have been encouraging for the litter members with wins coming from both Apples And Pears and Whistleandflute last weekend. These victories followed on from a win registered by Dog And Bone.

Whistlandflute won in impressive fashion on Friday night when finishing strongly to win by six and a quarter lengths.

This was only her second race, having finished last in her debut run. However, her formline on this win looks impressive "missed break, crowded run-up, bumped and led second bend" yet despite all of those facts, she still won by a decent margin.

She will now be elevated to grade A7 next time but with a previous trial time of 24.27 on her book, she will have a good chance of recording a quick double. Her win was followed up two races later by litter brother Apples And Pears’ success in an S7 race over 540 metres.

This was the dog’s sixth race and three of his last four showed that he had missed the break when traps opened, so this front-running performance will have done his confidence a world of good.

Similar to his sister, he has the time on his formbook to win an S6 race.

The first of the litter to win was Dog And Bone on March 30 when she won a P3 grade Puppy race starting as joint favourite.

She has since found it tough going in her two A7 races but has enough time in hand on the clock to win such a race.

She, like all youngsters, is still "green" and learning the game and it seems that her only weak area is in trapping out quickly.

On the one time she did so, she won so there is every reason to be optimistic that all three pups will land more wins.

There are more members of the litter yet to grade onto the card but the public like these types of names and the dogs should give them a good run for their money.
