Isaac Murphy THERE could be no more appropriate winner of the Past Members Trophy than the flying Spring Cleo for Pauline Byers. Not only did the bitch extend her winning streak to seven but did so in a race that remembers late members of the club who made lasting contributions. Arguably no-one left a bigger imprint on the club than the late Col Byers who would have been smiling from above as his wife s greyhound of the year frontrunner did it again.
