Sirdar – The Veteran in Vogue at Newcastle!
For today’s Dog Of The Day, we head to Newcastle for a race where class and current form are set to collide. Our standout selection is the experienced and formidable Sirdar.
This seasoned black dog is set to race today, Saturday 15th November 2025, in the 5:49pm contest, and he brings a profile that demands the utmost respect.
A Commanding Last Performance
Sirdar arrives here in sparkling form, having produced a devastating display just one week ago on Saturday 8th November. Drawn in trap six in an Open Race, he used his wide draw to perfection. Showing impressive early pace, he led by the second bend and never gave his rivals a chance, powering clear to win by a massive 4¾ lengths.
Winning as the 4/6 favourite, he justified the confidence of the market with a performance that was as professional as it was powerful. To win an Open Race in such a dominant fashion is a clear statement of intent.
Proven Class and Consistency
As a four-year-old with 47 career starts and 12 wins, Sirdar is a battle-hardened campaigner. His trainer, J. Flaherty, clearly has him in peak condition. His form figures at Newcastle over 480m (1st, 3rd, 2nd, 1st) show a greyhound who is consistently competitive at this track and distance.
While he can occasionally have an off-day, his recent dominant win proves that when he’s on song, he is incredibly hard to beat. His high win rate (25.53%) for this level of competition further underscores his quality and reliability.
Today’s Outlook
Returning to the same track and distance just a week after such an emphatic victory, Sirdar should be full of confidence. He knows how to handle the Newcastle circuit and has the early pace to get into a strong position from any draw.
With fitness guaranteed and form proven, he is the one they all have to beat. He carries the proven class that can often overwhelm his competitors.
Conclusion
With a dominant Open Race win under his belt and a proven affinity for the Newcastle track, Sirdar is the clear and deserving Dog Of The Day. He brings a potent mix of experience, current form, and proven class to the 5:49pm race. He is the standout selection to follow.
