Brett Lee Litter THERE can not be too many litters left

to come from one of our greatest ever

sires, Brett Lee (January 1999 Gun Law

Osti x Sobbing Sal).

Tomerong breeder, Graham

Ganderton has a nice litter of eleven

pups of his on this week’s list which

should attract plenty of interest.

The six dogs and five bitches are from the beautifully

bred bitch, Shady Ace, December 2012 Collision x Tifi),

whose dam is by Bombastic Shiraz x Chili Berger

(Elle’s Commando x Alice Dooley).

Shady Ace is from her dam’s second Collision

litter, which included Aisle Tifi, Cool Tifi, Go Hunter,

Red Bastion, She’s All Aussie, Sheza Chance, Tiffster

and Twist Me Over.

Their dam, Tifi, also produced winners from her

first Collision litter, and two other litters, by Mogambo

and Where’s Pedro.

Shady Ace raced 29 times for eight wins and 14

placings, winning five times over 520 metres at

Wentworth Park (29.59), twice over 520 metres at

Nowra (29.64) and also over 520 metres at Dapto

(29.85).

I would imagine the five bitches in this litter will

attract plenty of interest from prospective buyers with

future breeding in mind, given their pedigree.

Mogambo litter UNDER-RATED sire Mogambo (January 2016 Where’s

Pedro x Zarbo) has a nice litter of six pups on this

week’s list.

Bargo breeder, Robert Sullivan has the litter of

three dogs and three bitches, from the well bred bitch,

Classy Icon (December 2008 Big Daddy Cool x Belle

Lucille), whose dam is by Go Wild Teddy x Grayson

(Bobniak x Grayson Bale).

Classy Icon is from a litter of eight, which

included Cracker Smile, Apache Icon, Bob’s Icon,

Highly Spirited, Kool Icon, Phantom’s Icon and Tony’s

Icon.

On the track she raced 45 times for seven wins and

eight placings, winning three times over 535 metres at

Richmond (31.18), twice over 600 metres at Dapto

(35.07) and twice over 520 metres at Wentworth Park

(30.26).

She has good winners on file from two previous

litters, whelped in January 2013 by Lonesome Cry* and

June 2014 by El Grand Senor.

Ready to Rumble

CHURCHABLE breeder, Warren Nicholls has our final

litter for review from this week’s NSW list, which is a

rare litter these days by the under-rated sire Primo Uno

(August 2000 Black Shiraz x Prima Portrait).

The three dogs and three bitches in the litter are

from the well bred, 2014 Group 3 Darwin Cup

placegetter, Rumble Street (October 2011 Hallucinate x

Rumble Charm), whose dam is by Spiral Nikita x

Rumble Spirit (Malawi’s Prince x Follow Through).

Rumble Street is from a litter of three named,

which included Busy Rumble and Rumble Comet, with

their dam also producing winners from her three other

litters, by Bombastic Shiraz, Brett Lee and Where’s

Pedro.

On the track, Rumble Street raced 32 times, for

nine wins and eight placings, winning five times over

520 metres at Albion Park (29.91), where she also won

over 600 metres (35.06), twice over 520 metres at

Lismore (30.44), and also over 537 metres at Darwin

(31.67).

She has five named offspring on file from her first

litter, Ellie 2, Look Us Over, Lord Jack, Pure Karma and

Rumble Drive.

Some of Primo Uno’s best, some now producing at

stud, include He Know’s Uno, Train A Journey, Fedex,

Enry Walt, Piggy Back, Turanza Bale, Shimaguni,

Elektra and Stagger, just to name a few.

Mister Twister Wins Peter Mosman Classic By Jeff Collerson GRNSW Website, for AGRA

Mister Twister, whose racetrack fortunes were

transformed when he underwent a tonstillectomy

earlier this year, lifted his earnings to more than

$250,000 when he led throughout in Saturday night's

Group 1 Ladbrokes Peter Mosman Classic at

Wentworth Park.

The greyhound ($5.50), jumped brilliantly from

box five to defeat gallant Victorian and race favourite Up

Hill Jill ($3.40), who was contesting her sixth group final

for the year, by three lengths.

“From box five he really needed to nail the start

and he certainly did that,” Luke Murray, head of the

Tiger Seven Syndicate which bought Mister Twister as a

puppy at auction for $21,000, said after the race.

Chasin' Crackers ($21), also from Victoria, was

third all the way, one-and-a-half lengths astern, with the

winner covering the 520m in 29.71. That time equalled

Bessy Boo's 2014 figures and bettered the 29.83 posted

last year by Buck Forty, but was a long way short of

Fernando Bale's race record of 29.27 set in 2015.

The win extended Mister Twister’s overall career

record to 14 wins from 32 starts and comes less than a

month after the greyhound won the lucrative $100,000

Richmond Riches. He has also finished second in the

Group 3 Christmas Gift and Group 1 Vic Peters Classic

in 2016.

For Up Hill Jill, it was her fifth second placing in a

group race this year, having finished runner-up in the

Group 1 National Futurity, Group 1 Sapphire Crown,

Group 2 Richmond Oaks and the Group 2 Warrnambool

Classic.

The David Geall-trained greyhound well began

well and was second at the first turn, but was unable to

get near Mister Twister and was in that position for the

remainder of the race.

After the placings, the field finished in the

following order 4th Lucky Chap ($4.60), 5th Set To

Storm ($4.40), 6th Corrupt Millions ($13.00) 7th

Yankee’s Ethics ($20.00) and Central Bark ($19.00).

Mister Twister is a Black Dog whelped January

2015 by Collision from Double Twist (Where’s Pedro x

Tifi) he raced by the Tiger Seven Syndicate and trained

by Jason Mackay from Richmond Vale in New South

Wales. He has raced 32 times for 14 wins and 12

placings. The $75,000 first prize for the Peter Mosman

Classic took his stake earnings to $254,885.

The Classic was first run at Harold Park in 1952

when won by Robin Buchanan. In those days the race

was called the Bi-Annual Classic and remained the same

until 1988 when the GBOTA renamed the Classic

honouring legendary administrator the late Peter

Mosman. Like all other GBOTA features it moved with

the club to Wentworth Park in 1987. Some outstanding

sprinters have won the race over its journey going back

to Miss Oakey (53), Tell You Why (59), Classy Jane (the

dam of Black Top 60), Rokoko (68), The Smoother (70),

Satan’s Legend (78), Tegimi (79), Promises Free (82),

Brother Fox (85), Farmer Wilson (91), How’s The Fort

Mister Twister wins the Mosman Classic

AGRA News

Fantastic Fanta Bale By Racing Queensland Website for AGRA

She provided fans with one of the most dominant

UBET Gold Cup wins in recent memory, and we

could be set to see Fanta Bale ($1.60) do it all again

in the Listed Superstayers Invitational at Albion

Park this week.

The Robert Britton-trained bitch flew from Box 7 and

made it a one-act affair around the 710m Albion Park

circuit, holding off Queensland’s 2016 Nationals

representative.

Big Easy Red (45.80), and Queensland’s darling

of the track, Cyndie’s Magic ($7.10).

In winning, Fanta Bale became the first greyhound to

win Group One races over 500m, 600m and 700m. The

win brought with it $75,000 in prize money and took

her career earnings close to the $800,000 mark.

“She was terrific. It was a copybook

performance,” Britton said.

“I felt she needed to lead to be a good thing. There’s

always that element that another strong dog might run

you down. She seems to know the right nights to begin

well.”

The Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club (BGRC)

on Thursday night released its four-greyhound field for

the 710m Superstayers (June 22), with Fanta Bale listed

to take on Queensland’s darling Cyndie’s Magic, Ebby

Ripper and New South Wales visitor Burn One Down.

For Ebby Ripper, it will be a chance at

redemption after failing to qualify for the Gold Cup

final a fortnight ago. She bounced back on Thursday to

clock 41.81sec – just half-a-length outside Fanta Bale’s

winning Gold Cup time - in an Open 710m race.

Burn One Down has developed into one of the

nation’s premier stayers, winning 26 of his 43 race

starts.

The son of Buck Fever and Fancy Jaffa has

recorded four victories at Group level, including the

Group 1 Zoom Top (725m), the Group 2 Topgun

Stayers (725m), the Group 3 Topcat Video Cup (725m)

and the Group 3 Racecallers (595m).

Cyndie’s Magic is the darling of Queensland

greyhound racing and the social media star has wowed

audiences with her blistering finishes and amazing will

to win. Bill Elson’s daughter of Premier Fantasy and

Regal Silver is still going as strong as ever at well over

4 years of age.

But all three will have a task ahead of them in

trying to chase down Fanta Bale.

Britton said while trainer and greyhound were likely to

return to Brisbane next week, he wouldn’t make his

final decision until Sunday.

“It’s tough to fly three weeks in-a-row. Especially

when you have a stayer that goes to the front and does it

all the way like she did,” he said.

“I’ll want to see that she’s bouncing and taken no

affect from the run. Like all dogs the morning after they

run she’s a little tired today. But we’ll go home and re-

asses on the weekend.”

The other feature of the night was taken by

Brisbane trainer Terry Auckram’s Shoes To Fill, which

prevailed in a thrilling finish to the Flying Amy Classic

(520m).

Fanta Bale is a Black bitch whelped August 2014

by David Bale from Ucme Typhoon (Dodgem By

Design x USS Mysterious). Fanta Bale is raced Paul

Wheeler and trained by Robert Britton.

She has raced 39 times for 25 wins and nine

placings. After adding the $75,250 first prize for the

Gold Cup her stake earnings stand at $797,490. Fourth

on the all-time stakes winning list.

The Gold Cup has been won by some champion

stayers over the years.

SA coursing dates until 30 June are listed below.

The remaining dates for July – September will follow

once allocated.

We start off our season by running 4-dog stakes – which

appeases the track enthusiasts who do not wish to put

their dogs in an 8-dog stake as they don’t believe they

can run 3 times in the one day, even though it should be

remembered that its only 2 dogs that have 3 runs, and

this is certainly not a problem in Victoria.

We will keep the straight grass track for our local

Editor,

While GRV is busy re-arranging maiden programs I can

help even more with the dog/race shortage problem.

Immediately, it could eliminate all races shorter

than 350m. Currently between 20% and 60% of

meetings at Cranbourne and Traralgon are in this

category. Perhaps at Healesville as well. Other states

could help by doing the same at Albion Park, Lismore,

Dubbo, Dapto, Richmond, Wentworth Park, Canberra,

Strathalbyn, Launceston, Hobart, Cannington,

Mandurah and Northam.

Those reductions would then allow empty boxes

in longer races to be filled.

There are a number of supporting reasons for such

a policy.

These “over in a flash” events are not good for

customers. People want a bit of a run for their

money.

My guess is that they attract only mug punters. It

is hard to imagine serious punters being

interested.

They are not real races but merely jumping

contests.

They reward poor or poorly-bred dogs.

The breed needs to improve stamina whereas

these races work in the opposite direction.

The plentiful 350m to 425m category readily

caters for short course dogs. Leaving aside

Cranbourne and Traralgon, a current sample

reveals that 42% of provincial races are in that

category.

Should this policy displace a few dogs then imaginative

alternatives should be developed to look after them.

This approach is necessary anyway for dogs which are

never going to be good racers or chasers.

But here’s a separate point on the general shortage

subject. Scratchings at the provincials are far too

common – even including reserves – which leads to the

suspicion that trainers are being urged to put up dogs

when they are not really ready for battle.

A related issue – of welfare importance - is that if

dogs were banned from backing up inside, say, 5 days it

would tend to reduce those scratchings. Racing when

not fully recovered from previous efforts does no good

for either dogs or punters.

Either way, if a reduction in races is the outcome,

so be it. A slight drop in race numbers accompanied by

a higher percentage of full fields would not necessarily

reduce income by very much as exotic betting would be

more popular.

Bruce N. Teague

Gosford NSW

____________________________________________

What time was that?

Can anyone at Sandown explain the

rationale behind the current programming

of race programs.

Thursday night's programs start at 6.03 pm and finished

at 10.04 because it's winter?

And yet Sunday's program started at 1.43pm and the last

not run until 5.26pm, leaving everyone a long cold drive

home in the dark, from a day meeting?

I also intend to take up the matter of race times with the

MGRA, 11pm finish on a Saturday night is ridiculous.

It has been suggested that the programming of meetings

these days is more about maximising gambling

opportunities, not concern for greyhounds or their

trainers?

The question was out to Sandown and GRV,

however at the time of going to the website, no

replies had been received.

Greyhound Adoption Day, which aims to find new

homes for retired racing greyhounds, is again

coming to Melbourne on Sunday, 25 June.

The Adoption Day will be held at The Meadows

greyhound racing club, Northcorp Bld, Broadmeadows,

from 11am – 3pm.

The adoption day was very successful when it was held

in Broadmeadows last year, when it smashed the

Australian record for the number of greyhounds re-

homed in a single day. Organisers are hoping to top that

result this time.

Seventy dogs were re-homed at The Meadows event

last year (GAP’s previous record in a single day was

35). This time, about 80 greyhounds will be seeking

their forever homes.

GAP is asking people who wish to attend to register

their interest beforehand by filling in a registration form

on the GAP website at gap.grv.org.au. And, if you are

intending to adopt on the day, please follow the link

and complete the adoption application form which will

help us find the right dog for you. We will send you a

link before 25 June so you can find out more about the

dogs that will be available on the day.

Most of the dogs are retired racing greyhounds, and are

between eighteen months and ten years of age.

GAP Adoption Manager Larissa Darragh said

greyhounds made terrific pets as they are friendly,

docile dogs and, contrary to some assumptions, they

don’t need a lot of exercise.

“They need about 15 minutes of exercise a day, which

is average for a pet dog. It’s fine to just take them for a

walk,” she said.

Like last year’s event at Broadmeadows, this is a

special double adoption day – twice as many dogs as a

normal adoption day (which are held at Greyhound

Racing Victoria’s metro and regional race tracks), with

a morning and afternoon session (instead of just one

session).

Morning Session – 11am to 12:30 pm. Afternoon

Session – 1:15 pm to 3pm.
