Date: Saturday, 29th November 2025
Course: Swindon Greyhound’s
Race Time: 16:03 (Grade A3, 476m)
For today’s racing action, our “Dog of the Day” spotlight falls on an exciting young talent running at Swindon this afternoon. We have selected Ballymac Cedrick, a promising blue dog who looks primed to make a big impression in the 16:03 race.
The Profile: Ballymac Cedrick
- Age: 1 year old (Whelped April 2024)
- Colour/Sex: Blue Dog
- Breeding: Ballymac Cashout x Vida Loca
- Trainer: A. M. Kibble (Swindon)
- Owner: Mrs C. J. Trinder
Trained by the high-flying Angie Kibble, who currently boasts an impressive 34.42% strike rate, Ballymac Cedrick is a greyhound with a profile that screams potential. At just over a year and a half old, he is still very much learning his trade, but his early performances suggest he has a bright future ahead.
Racing Record and Form Analysis
Ballymac Cedrick arrives at this race fresh off a series of eye-catching trials. After a break following his competitive debut in August, he has been brought back carefully and looks sharper than ever.
His sole competitive start back on 22nd August 2025 was a triumph. Running in an A3 grade over 476m, he broke well to lead and held on to win by nearly a length, clocking a superb time of 27.60s. To win on debut in this grade is no small feat and highlights his natural engine.
Recent Form & Trials:
- 15/11/2025 (Trial): Solo run over 476m, clocking a rapid 28.64s.
- 07/11/2025 (Trial): A solid trial spin, finishing 1st in 29.07s.
- 31/10/2025 (Sprint Trial): A sharp 262m sprint, clocking 15.55s.
The comment from the racing office sums it up best: “Sure to win races in times judged on its trials times.”
The Strategy
This selection aligns perfectly with our approach to finding value in unexposed runners from top kennels. When applying our Greyhound Backing Strategy, we often look for young dogs with “scope”—runners that have shown early speed and are handled by trainers in peak form. With Kibble’s yard firing on all cylinders (over 34% strike rate) and Cedrick drawing a favourable pitch, all the metrics point to a bold showing.
He faces experienced rivals today like Rory Bellows and High Chance, but with his “middle” seeding and recent trial sharpness, we expect Cedrick to clear the pack and prove hard to catch.
Verdict:
Ballymac Cedrick is an exciting prospect who has already proven he can handle this grade. If he traps as he did in his August debut, he should be the one they all have to beat.
