Staying king’s new ‘castle’

The red carpet has been rolled out for distance monarch Tornado Tears in retirement! And he has moved into lodgings ‘fit for a staying king’.

The six-time Group 1 winner is receiving VIP treatment at his new ‘castle’ – the Doveton home of Jason and Penny Ireland. And he’s wasting no time ‘ruling the roost’!

Jason has been assisting Tornado Tears’ trainer, Rob Britton, handling greyhounds at Sandown race meetings on Thursday nights and Sundays and occasionally The Meadows on Saturday nights for around 10 years.

Subsequently he’s established a very good relationship with Britton and his foreman Peter Riley.
