INCOMING GREYHOUNDS
Peggy, aka Bob's Peggy, is a 3-year-old fawn female born October 8, 2009. Her sire is Flying Penske and her dam is Bob's Tonya. Peggy has 78 races to her credit on Greyhound-data.com, all at Gulf Greyhound Park where she was racing at the AA level. Her career started on May 21, 2011 and ended with a compound fracture to her right rear leg on November 10, 2012. After evaluation by Dr. Alice Runk of Central Texas Veterinary Specialty Hospital, it was decided to amputate the leg due to the severity of the break and an infection.
