Silver Jones
(Dodgem By Design - Fuzzys Jasmine ) - The late Johnny Biehle wasn't
one to boast or tout young greyhounds , one exception was Silver Jones.
Biehle was right about Silver Jones...out of Dodgem By Design and
Fuzzys Jasmine. Silver Jones competed at Wheeling Island throughout his
career...in 2007 he captured the Holiday Sprint ,was runner up in the
Winners Challenge and finalist in the Super Star Challenge. Silver
Jones has posted All American type numbers in 2008 with a record of 58
/18-19-4-8 that's 84% on the payheet...Jones is fast having dipped
below the 30 - Second mark 17 times including his best at 29:51. He is
the total package of speed,desire, and intelligences. His bloodlines of
Dodgem By Design x Fuzzys Jasmine have been some of the most productive
in recent history,add his racing record credentials and you have the
total package...who could ask for more!
