While filling in race winners on Greyhound-data from a variety of sources, I came across Holy Brother, a tremendous dog from the early 1950s. There are a number of dogs who accomplished less who are enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
Holy Brother, Black dog, whelped 25 September 1950; owner, G. A. Alderson.

To be perfectly honest, I had never heard of him until I found most of his stakes wins in the American Greyhound Racing Encyclopedia 1963. There is scant mention of him in Great Names In Greyhound Pedigrees. If anyone has a picture of Holy Brother, or any further info, please e-mail me.
