Mountain Greyhounds consists of three brothers, John, Mark, and Michael Yurik. Greyhound Racing started for all of us back in 1975 at Mile High Kennel Club. We watched the likes of JW Rocket One, Lantana Borg, and PK's Apple race around the MHKC oval to amazing crowds and handles that were very impressive. We followed the Colorado curcuit every year as the greyhounds would move between the 5 tracks; Mile High, Interstate, Cloverleaf, Rocky Mountain, and Pueblo. We loved the excitement this great sport brought to us. We watched for many years, but it wasn't until 1989, when we owned our first greyhound, SIR FORBES(Black Aztec - Cheer Up Faline). He was a stakes competitive greyhound that made us some pretty good money running at Wichita Greyhound Park when it first opened. Forbes ran against the likes of Flying Train and Randy Handy.

We continued to own a few greyhounds, and had farmers raise several litters for us until finally, in October of 1995, we purchased our first auction dog,FLYING EUREKA(HB's Commander - Flying Braniff). She started racing with Pat Collins in Colorado. She was consistent on the paysheet running lower grade 3/8 races, but needed more distance. We sent her to south Florida to run 7/16. She took a big liking to the Hollywood/Flagler curcuit and went right to Grade A. With only a small amount of career starts she was competing with CD's Joe, IG Block, and Kiowa Oregon. Eureka would always start slow, but had huge closing ability. She was almost always first to the bunny box after the race and looked to be a major threat for the 75,000 Super Marathon Stakes at Flagler. She never got her chance, breaking a hock at Hollywood soon after showing such amazing distance ability. Her line carries on through dogs like NEBO AQUARIUS(Grade A, Hollywood), and NEBO CONTINENTAL(AA Winner at Wheeling and 3/8 Stakes finalist at Palm Beach). Eureka was a nice selection for our first Nationals.
