Keywall Spectre

"Greyhound racing is great because you can breed your own dog, raise it, take it to the track, and race it... I had a dog that people at Hackney Wick will remember - a big, black, spotted dog called Keywall Spectre, the son of a great Irish dog called Spectre. Sprinting three hundred yards on the sand at Hackney, he'd win all the time."
Sam Shepard, quoted in Sam Shepard by Don Shewey (1985) p94
