Deuce
Deuce, aka Boc's Deuce, is a black, 1 ½-year-old male born July 1, 2006. His sire is Flying Penske and his dam is B's Say So, making his grand sire the late, famous Gable Dodge. Deuce's racing career is not listed on Greyhound-data.com; however on Saturday evening, March 2, 2008, Deuce's racing career came to a full halt with the fracture of his right central tarsal bone. Deuce and Allegiance were transported together all the way from Harlingen to Dallas by GALT volunteers and arrived on March 4, when they were both evaluated by Dr. Jeff Ellis of VCA Preston Park Animal Hospital. Dr. Ellis referred Deuce to Dr. Katherine Wells of the Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center, who performed his surgery on March 6. The fracture of the right central tarsal bone was stabilized with two screws. Deuce will undergo bandage changes every 7-10 days for the next 8-10 weeks, and then radiographs will be taken to determine the healing of the fracture. Deuce must be kept very quiet during this time.
See Greyhound-Data.com for Pedigree.
