Love that dog! What a closer.

Machine of a dog, amazing 👏👏👏👏

Wow Mr Hillman your talking absolute dribble mate.. The actually won 51 from 63 races .. Broke 20 track records yes 20 the only dog to win back to back tv trophy's won the cesaravich plus multiple other prestigeous competitions if he is a dodgepot then i want 1

Good memories from catford

regarding Mr Hillman's comments.being so far behind in his races and loosing sight of the hare I'm surprised he finished most of his races.as for dodge pot when did he ever look at another dog.he was the greatest sight of any greyhound .would Bob have beaten him in a six dog race over 800 meters +.?the sport badly needs another champion like him.

The champ

Scurlogue came to Hall Green in an 663mt Open race and was pitted against local champion Keem Rocket. I had a bit of 7/2 Keem. Keem led about 10 lengths down the back straight and I never had a worry...... until the last 100 mts! Scurlogue failed to get up by a neck, I won.... but I never bet against Scurlogue again! :-). I saw him run at Haringey when he came from an impossible position down the far side to win the race and spectators were applauding the greyhound as he caught them at the last bend and won by 10 lengths going away! Truly Tremendous!

Catford was a cracking stadium. You could stand at the bottom of the steps and the hounds would be at eye level, the sand would fly at you as they raced past, just don't stand at the finish line on the posh side as the bookies would shove you out of the way, that was their spot to see the winner. Those push on traps were replaced with ones that pivoted on a post and were swung onto the track by one person, but I think they kept one push on set for the eight bender races. Going there was like meeting family, the bookies, the regulars, bar staff, catering staff, we all knew each other. All gone now, 2003 I think, even the Tote board went up in flames one night after it shut, funny how the 20th Century Society was due to visit the closed track that week with a view to preserve it. Now the land is all apartments, with some blocks named after trainers.

my local track i was there for this and all his other victories Scurlogue .Great dog

wow

Was there for the Track Record that night

Is there now a record in 2020 that is stil not defeat and scurloque name ?

Went lame when he raced against Ballyregan Bob.

They would call that boom on Bags, what a Dog.

hup

Admittedly Bob was better over 6 and 8 bends but he could not stay 10 bends champ would have caught him over 888m thats why bobs trainer insisted on 700 2 dog with 6 dogs over 10 bends champ would have kept going bob never got any where near champs times in 10 bend trials hence why he never ran in one you could liken them to micheal Johnson and usain bolt over 100m bolt every time over 200 johnson could win but bolt still wins but over 400m johnson wins every time 6 8 10 bends is like this in my opinion

Contrary to mainstay view this dog was at best ungenuine & worst and outright dodgepot , he had " stopped chasing " at Walthamstow and Wembley. His racing card reflected that .The owner trainer Mr Peckham would ring the racing offices and try to place the dog in order to get easy reces. When put up against a real dog like Ballyregan Bob , he was not in the same league , He was placed well when he strung together 13 consecutive races , I saw him race over 30 times , he lost way more than he won - People sure do have rose tinted glasses when eulogise about this dog, who was regularly beaten by the pace merchants of the day - like Glenowen Queen , Silver mask ++. Of course the big question is where is his race card to be inspected to a true reflection of his career can be appreciated
