George Edwin (Ned) Bryant

Today my grandfather "Grumpy" has been

gone 20 years. The time has just flown by.

I still remember the many things we did

together and I will treasure those memories in

my heart. To this day I continue to teach

children "52 pick up" which they give the

same mortified look on their faces as I gave to

you haha! Miss you Grumpy! ❤ ❤❤❤❤❤

This week we pay tribute to one of Greyhound

Racing’s true Legends.

VICTORIA

THIS week’s review of litters from the Victorian Litter

Registrations list for the week ending 25 April, starts

with two litters by Australia’s leading sire, Barcia Bale

(March 2010 Go Wild Teddy x Princess Bale).

Ripplebrook breeder, Arend Gringhuis, has the

first of the two litters, which unfortunately has just the

one dog and one bitch pup, from the beautifully bred

bitch, Miss Kadia (November 2013 Kinloch Brae* x

Absolute Stunna), whose dam is by Bombastic Shiraz x

Regal Blaze (Pure Octane x Sound Lee).

She is from her dam’s only litter file, which is an

outstanding litter of seven named, which includes

Absolute Silence, Bells Are Ringin, Blazin Bomber,

Kinloch Stunna, Ring The Bell and Stunning Success.

Apart from Kinloch Stunna, who raced five times

without winning, the others were all good winners, who

just on 100 races between them.

Miss Kadia raced 47 times for seven wins and 20

placings, winning three times over 520 metres at

Cranbourne (30.17), twice over 515 metres at Sandown

(29.50) and also over 400 metres at Warragul (23.18)

and 395 metres at Traralgon.

Bells Are Ringin won the Group 1 Sandown Cup,

Blazin Bomber won the Group 3 Speed Star and Group

3 Cranbourne Puppy Classic, and Ring The Bell won the

Group 1 National Distance Title and the Group 3

Summer Cup.

Certainly plenty to like about these two well bred

youngsters, Arend, and good luck with them.

Horsham on track for re-opening

Victoria’s full suite of greyhound racetracks will

soon be operational once again with the redevelopment

of Horsham now in the final stages.

GRV has joined forces with Sydney’s University of

Technology during the redevelopment in a bid to ensure

all design factors have been properly taken into account

with respect to track safety and greyhound welfare.

“It’s exciting that we’re at the pointy end of the

redevelopment and we’re looking like starting trials in

late May or early June, with a view to possibly

reopening for racing sometime later in June,” GRV’s

Racing Manager, Scott Robins said.

“We are about to install the rail, and once that is in

place it will really start to look like a racetrack again.”

The redevelopment has come about following a safety

audit which saw racing cease at the venue since

October. While the project is not a complete new track

as such, much of the infrastructure has been replaced

making it a virtual brand new build.

Sand from Lake Burrumbeet (near Ballarat), which has

long been the preferred surface on Victoria’s greyhound

racetracks for welfare and maintenance reasons, is

being stockpiled to be used as the surface at Horsham,

while there are several other key safety features.

“Every aspect of this redevelopment has a science

overlay to it, with welfare being the overriding priority.

We’re widening the track and improving the transitions

with the camber on the bends being increased to about

10 per cent, which is what science tells us is the most

comfortable degree for the greyhounds, so we expect

the dogs to get a nice and smooth transition into the

turns,”Robins said.

Horsham will initially race over two distances – 410

metres (drop on boxes) and 485 metres – with a

provision for a third distance of around 675 metres to

potentially be instated in the future. The club will also

have puppy boxes over 310 metres for trialling

purposes.

STAYERS. Editor,

Just by way of expanding on my earlier plea for more

attention to stamina and staying stock, I made some

comparisons between performances over 715m at

Sandown on 4 May and 11 May in two higher grade

races (including the Lizrene).

Except where stated, both runs were over

Sandown 715m. All runners had plenty of past

experience over 700m-plus.

My reason for doing that is that 7-day breaks have

become almost standard for stayers these days –

sometimes enforced by heat and final programming,

sometimes at the trainer’s choice – and it is clear that

most dogs have trouble burning the candle at both ends.

*In both these cases the dog was severely hampered in

its previous run.

Similar checks in past years have revealed much

the same story. Clearly, their performance degrades

when backing up too quickly. Many must be running on

their store of reserves, doubly so when lower class dogs

are involved.

Certainly, we cannot expect dogs to run like

machines. Nevertheless, the long term consistency of

results like these poses serious questions.

None of these dogs had known staying sires –

although you might argue about Mogambo (= Teddy

Monelli, which led and faded). Two were from imported

sires while the lightly raced Barcia Bale was responsible

for five of the 16, including one winner (Dundee

Calypso).

Incidentally, winning times in all four races being

considered were some 12-15 lengths outside the track

record.

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.

Longwood Coursing Sunday 14 May Sue Delaney

It was a beautiful day, a great meeting.

The Longwood Club were great hosts for the Werribee

Coursing Club.

Noel Ryan Memorial Werribee Cup – Johnnie Red with

his connections & the Ryan family.

Johnnie Red coursed brilliantly over the day winning

all events by many lengths. Let’s hope Russell

continues to keep him sound as he’s my tip for the

Waterloo. ‘for what it’s worth’ LOL.

And now have a brand new tower for the race caller

and officials.

Special Tribute

George Edwin (Ned) Bryant 1921-1997

Neil Brown

George Edwin (Ned) Bryant was a loveable larrikin.

He was considered the Bart Cummings of

greyhound training ranks and was also one of

Australia's most respected canine chiropractors.

Bryant was only 14 years old when he caught the

greyhound racing bug.

"The earliest influences on his career were trainer

Harry Ralston, who lived just up the road in West

Dandenong, and legendary breeder Rod Deakin," said

his son, John. "

Dad & Rod became mates in the late 1950s. They

loved a bet and would often attend greyhound meetings

at White City and North Melbourne."

Bryant owned a car dealership in Dandenong for

many years while establishing his reputation as the

sport?s "Silver Fox".

His "Silver Fox" sobriquet was an obvious

reference to legendary Australian tennis coach, Harry

Hopman, who pulled off many tactical master strokes

as non-playing captain for Australia in Davis Cup ties

during the 1950s and 1960s.

Ironically, Bryant - like his tennis counterpart -

was a master tactician who turned greyhound training

into an art form.

In a distinguished 50-year association with

greyhound racing, Bryant won virtually every major

feature on the Victorian greyhound racing calendar with

his canine protégés.

Bryant considered the 1985 Melbourne Cup

quinella (Sydney Dingaan-Shining Chariot) and 1991

Australian Cup (Franklin Deano) his highest training

achievements.

Also rating among his list of megastars were

Blackwood Earl, Blue Lightning, Currency Lass,

Denison Miss, Grand Sapper, Jefferson, Quatro, Regal

Hermes, Rod?s Advice, Rumpus Pappa, Shamrock

Flight, Summer Jade, Supplier, Tesoro Mio, World

Vision, Wynlee Wonder and Yootha Joy.

with Sydney Dingaan

"He also raced Irish Temptress, the dam of the

immortal Bold Trease who he and mum (Maureen)

bred," John said.

Bryant was also one of the sport?s most in-

demand canine chiropractors. "At first it was 'trial and

error', and he was only charging $1 per greyhound,"

John said.

"He?d manipulate hundreds of greyhounds a

week, with trainers travelling from as far away as

Albury to have their greyhounds checked at his

Cranbourne home."

A long-time committeeman at Cranbourne

Greyhound Racing Club, Bryant retired from training

after winning the 1991 Australian Cup with Franklin

Deano under emotional and almost tragic

circumstances.

Only nine days prior to the cup final, Bryant was

fighting for his life in Dandenong hospital?s intensive

care unit after suffering a ruptured aorta in a car

accident.

He underwent an emergency five-hour operation

and was reported to have only a 50/50 chance of

surviving.

He didn't know the cup result until midnight that

evening as he fell asleep after listening to only half the

race.

In 1995, the Melbourne Greyhound Racing

Association paid tribute to Bryant.

Hosted by the Silver Chief Club, almost 200

guests honoured a legend of the sport in a 'Roast to Ned

Bryant' night.

Ned Bryant Tribute - continued

At the time, an emotional Bryant told Olympic Park's

packed Yarra Room that he would always value the

friendships and treasure the memories he had derived

from greyhound racing. "

It (greyhound racing) has really been my life and

I’ve made some wonderful friends," he said. "I love the

sport; it’s as simple as that."

Ned was guest of honour at his roast held at

Olympic Park

In recent years, the Greyhound Racing Victoria

(GRV) Board has ensured the legacy of Bryant - who

served in the nation's armed forces during WWII on the

Kokoda Track in Papau New Guinea - will long be

remembered.

GRV initiated the Ned Bryant ?Silver Fox? award,

which is presented annually to a person (under 35 years

of age) for showing outstanding potential in the training,

breeding and promotion of greyhound racing.

"The industry needs characters, and dad's induction

into the Victorian greyhound racing Hall of Fame is

fantastic," John said. "

He wanted to succeed in the sport, and he wanted

to impart his knowledge."

Sadly, on May 18, 1997 - the man they called the

"Silver Fox" - passed away, aged 76.

The people and greyhounds inducted into the

Victorian greyhound racing Hall of Fame have been

recognised for their excellence, integrity, consistency,

longevity and overall contribution to the industry.

We hope you enjoy the opportunity to learn more

about the contribution these wonderful people and

greyhounds have made to this great industry.

Editor’s tribute:

In the ‘Dedication’ in my 1997 book, ‘Victorian

Metropolitan Breeding Statistics’, released only

months after Ned passed away, I wrote:

The Silver Fox was a loveable larrikin who was 76 years

old when he died earlier this year.

My association with Ned started more than 34

years ago, and after my Father died in the early 1960’s, it

was Ned Bryant, his lovely wife, Maureen, and their

children who were to give much comfort.

On the greyhound racing side of Ned’s life, I need

to say nothing I could add that I haven’t already said

many times before.

All I need to say here, is what a great man Ned

Bryant was, and how much he did for me in the early

years.

(SAP) from 23 April to 7 May before finding trouble

when sixth there from box two on 11 May.

Stepped up to 595 metres there on 14 May, from
