Fall 2009 Wheeling Auction Group - GROUP IS COMPLETE
Each Spring and Fall if you choose to participate in the auction groups you have an opportunity to own some of the finest greyhounds in the country. Our purpose has been the same for 25 years and that is to go after the top talent offered at the National Greyhound Association auctions to race at the top track in the country.
We believe that the prices may be lower this auction which should allow us to find top talent at good prices. Our goal is to purchase 8-10 greyhounds for this group (although the size of the group will impact this greatly!) The Fall 2008 auction group was closed at $150,000 and the Spring 2009 group at $75,000.
