EPISODE 59: DEAN HARPUR & SCOTT PHELAN

Barry Drake

It's a double episode this week as two young trainers join Barry this week.

Dean Harpur recently took out his trainers licence. His family didn't have greyhounds but as a child he developed a love of greyhounds growing in Wexford. At the age of 21, he and his grandfather got two greyhounds, built kennels and runs and built it from there! Dean was also part of the syndicate behind Cash Ready, a finalist in the 2020 Irish St. Leger in Limerick.

Scott Phelan also chats to Barry, another man who developed a love for greyhounds as a child. He got his first dog as a teenager, working with his uncle to train him. They chat about his greyhounds, hopes for the future and rehoming those who've finished their racing careers.
