2016 ADELAIDE CUP

All roads lead to Angle Park in South Australia

tonight for the 46th running on that track of the time

honoured Group 1 Adelaide Cup.

Greyhound Racing South Australia’s, Shaun

Mathieson, takes us through the history of the great

race .

From its humble beginnings the Group 1 Sky Channel

Adelaide Cup has now become the stepping-stone to

stardom for some of Australia's household names in

greyhound racing.

The first Adelaide Cup was held at Waterloo Corner in

1956 and won by the Fred Grimes-owned Oakland

Chief. From Waterloo Corner the cup was moved to

Bolivar, near the current Globe Derby trotting complex

before taking pride of place at South Australia's

headquarters for greyhound racing, Angle Park, in 1972.

And it didn't take long for the 'boy from Broken Hill', the

late, great Doug Payne to etch his name into the archives

of Adelaide Cup history.

Payne won the first three Adelaide Cups held at Angle

Park - Bristol Miss (1972), Valjuka (1973) and Bristol

Sue (1974) - a record that has never been equalled.

Revered in SA for his dominance of the SA training

ranks, winning a record 14 training premierships, Payne

always rated Bristol Sue as the best greyhound he ever

trained.

Volume 1 Number 1 October 7, 2016

From the Editor’s Desk

Welcome to the first edition of our new online

greyhound magazine, Victorian Greyhound Weekly.

Greyhound Weekly will be available every Friday at:

www.victoriangreyhoundweekly.com.au

Greyhound Weekly’s main objective is to keep

greyhound owners, trainers and breeders fully informed

on what is happening with breeding Australia wide.

Weekly reviews of litters registered in Victoria,

New South Wales and South Australia, with the

other states being added as soon as information is

available.

Results, with breeding and trainers of winners for

all meetings held at Sandown, The Meadows,

Wentworth Park and Angle Park.

Monthly Metropolitan Sires lists for Victoria and

New South Wales, with State results from South

Australia.

International Sires Lists from England, Ireland and

the US.

Greyhound Weekly is not a form

newspaper, there is no need for us to

have form when GRV has the best

system of form guides available in the

country for Victorian meetings.

You are reading this on the internet, so

you are only a click away from better

form than we could ever hope to

provide.

Owners, trainers and punters have full

access to comprehensive form guides for every meeting,

within minutes of the fields for meetings being released.

https://fasttrack.grv.org. au/Watchdog

The same information is available for all NSW meetings

via GRNSW’s website:

https://www.thedogs.com.au/

South Australian form guides and fields are available

from:

https://sa.thedogs.com.au/Racing/

With the situation in NSW far from resolved, racing on a

daily basis continues, and looking forward to 2017 and

beyond, based on what we know, racing the other states

will go on as normal, and the biggest challenge for the

industry going forward is to make sure we have enough

dogs to fill programs.

Greyhound Racing Victoria, under the direction of Board

Chairman, Bernie Carolan and CEO, Alan Clayton, are

progressing through a period which has seen the start of

the implementation of major reforms to the industry, to

ensure that we have a future.

Queensland, South Australia and West Australia all have

their own systems and we hope to have more input from

them in the coming months.

We also welcome reader contributions, news on

whelpings, letters to the editor, feel free to contact us.

Me Five, and September 2013 by Cape Hawke, then she

has a litter of five dogs and two bitches on file, whelped

in September 2015, by Fabregas.

Rare Late Late Show* litter

NOT too many litters come through these days by the

international stud success, Late Late Show* (October

1998 Spiral Nikita x Ullid Citrate), who is sadly no

longer with us.

Bulahdelah breeder, Jamie Saunders, registered

the litter of five dogs and four bitches, who are who are

from the well bred, lightly raced bitch, Marshovia (July

2010 Collision x Just A Fly), whose dam is by Just The

Best x Denni Fly (Royal Assassin x Golden Cookie)

Marshovia is from a litter of four named, which

with their dam’s only other litter on file, also having

three named, whelped in October 2009 by Bombastic

Shiraz).

two wins and two placings, winning twice over 535

metres at Richmond (30.83), with placings over 525

metres at Wentworth Park, and 515 metres at Gosford.

Iconic litter

NEXT we have a litter of eleven pups by the very well

bred, but little known sire, Phantom’s Icon (December

2008 Big Daddy Cool x Belle Lucille), whose dam is by

Go Wild Teddy x Grayson (Bobniak x Grayson Bale)

and worth recalling, Grayson Bale is by Balligari* x

Bethany Bale (Statistician x Christina Bale).

Registered by Bargo breeder, Robert Sullivan, the

litter of seven dogs and four bitches, are from the

beautifully bred bitch, Phoenix Icon (October 2012

December 2011, by Bombastic Shiraz, produced, Kandi

Reg and Wannabe Famous.

Phoenix Icon raced nine times for four placings,

three over 535 metres at Richmond, where she was also

placed over 618 metres and while she may not have

won on the track I reckon she’ll be a winner in the

breeding barn, based on the pedigree of these well bred

youngsters.

Phantom’s Icon raced 30 times, for the handy

record of nine wins and 16 placings, winning four times

over 520 metres at Wentworth Park (30.17), twice over

535 metres at Richmond (30.91), where he also won

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN LITTERS

TWO South Australian bred litters registered with

GRSA in June.

Victor Harbour breeder, Joan Schadow, registered

the first of the two litters, which has nine pups, by the

2012 National Sprint Championship winner, Fabregas

(October 2010 Bombastic Shiraz x Wicked Witch).

The five dogs and four bitches, are from the well

bred bitch, Victa Brooke (April 2011 Where’s Pedro x

Teelah), whose dam is by Primo Uno x Currumbene

Lass (Prince Of Tigers x Moonambel Liz).

Victa Brooke is from her dam’s second Where’s

Pedro litter, which included Victa Merrill, Victa Nicole,

Victa Scott and Victa Tim, who all won races.

Their dam also has winners on file from her two

other litters with named offspring, whelped in July 2009

by Where’s Pedro, and August 2010 by Surf Lorian.

On the track, Victa Brooke raced 99 times, for 22

wins and 30 placings, winning ten times over 515 metres

at Angle Park, where she also won twice over 388

metres (22.50) and won six times over 400 metres at

Gawler (22.46), where she also won four times over the

testing 531 metres (29.97).

The Queen of Gawler

GAWLER breeder, Tony Legana, has the other litter on

the June SA Whelping Report, and what a beauty it is.

The eight pups in the litter are by the beautifully

bred, little known sire, Kalden Komoto (April 2009

Premier Fantasy* x Pamela Rose), whose dam is by No

Intent x Fancy Blonde (Bonjase x Dale’s Fancy).

There are four dogs and four bitches in the litter,

who are from the well bred, prolific winner and Gawler

400 metre track record holder, Avid Tyson (February

2011 Emerley Carlos x Avid Willow), whose dam is by

Addis Boy x Dainty Willow (Stately Bird x Merry

Widow).

For those not familiar with her sire Emerley

Carlos, he is by Royal Assassin (Head Honcho x

Leprechaun Miss), from Eudunda Eudunda (Hotshot x

Dignitary) whose dam is by Star Title x Magnacarter.

Avid Willow is from her dam’s first Emerley

Carlos litter, which included, Carlos Tyson, Dream

Tyson, Fire Tyson, Sanzze Tyson and Tyson Willow.

Her second Emerley Carlos litter, whelped in

November 2012 produced, Alex Tyson, Antonio Tyson,

Flash Tyson, Max Tyson, Osso Bucco, Pink Tyson, and

Spring Tyson.

She also has a 100% winning litter of four named

on file, whelped in February 2014 by Uncle Remus,

which produced Cris Tyson, Eva Tyson, Sam Tyson and

Sophie Tyson.

On the track she raced 131 times, for the incredible

record of 51 wins and 35 wins.

She won an amazing 31 races over 400 metres at

Gawler (22.44 rec), where she also won twice over 531

metres (30.82) and won eight races over 515 metres at

Angle Park.

What an amazing ride she took her connections on

and let’s hope they good one at least half as good from

this litter.

When one considers some of the big names who passed

through his kennel - Ascapella Miss, Red Pulse,

Fullock's Fancy, Yodel High, Harada's Pick Bristol

Chant and Bristol Miss - Bristol Sue certainly had

something going for her.

Former Gawler Greyhound Racing Club chairman,

Bernie Neal, was successful in the 1974 Adelaide Cup

with Turn Pillage before a three-year dominance by

Victorian trained greyhounds of SA's biggest race

started.

Golden Spur (1976), Cavalier Queen (1977) and

Riviera Tiger (1979), in controversial circumstances,

broke the drought for interstate kennels. Riviera Tiger's

win created headlines Australia-wide when the

Adelaide Cup was declared a no-race and was re-run

the following week after the lure had broken down.

The controversy arose as greyhounds who were

engaged in that year's final were also engaged in heats

of the Australian Cup at Olympic Park but, because of

the no-race, were forced to miss that series to return to

Adelaide for the cup re-run.

Following Riviera Tiger's win SA again dominated its

premier sprint race for the next seven years.

The Clem Mitchell-trained Encanto, a natural front

runner, was successful in 1979 before the Howard

Gray-trained Youthful Prince, who was owned by a

syndicate of 20 headed by former Adelaide Greyhound

Racing Club committeeman, and since Greyhound

Racing SA board member, Leon Chapman, won the

race in 1980.

Colin Wachtel, now a household name in greyhound

racing circles, won the 1981 Adelaide Cup with rank

outsider Lady Tornquest who, in pre-post betting was a

100/1 chance to win the race.

Then based in the Riverland, Wachtel still rates Lady

Tornquest, who went on to win the AGRC and Gawler

Anniversary Cups as one of the best greyhounds he has

trained.

The Cyril Boston-trained Smithy's Belle won the cup in

1982 before the ambitiously named Superstar won in

1983.

Trained by Darrell Johnstone, who later became a part

owner of Australian 'superstar', Brett Lee, Superstar

lived up to his name by not only winning the Adelaide

Cup but also the 1983 AGRC Anniversary Cup and

also representing SA in the 1983 National Sprint

Championship at the now defunct Gabba circuit.

With greyhound racing thriving in SA during the mid-

1980s, the win by the Blair Cross-trained Knocklaun

Gold in 1984 set a new benchmark at Angle Park.

Knocklaun Gold, in winning his heat of the cup,

became the first greyhound to break the 30-second

barrier in a race - clocking 29.99.

Knocklaun Gold also holds the distinction of being the

shortest record holder in the history of SA, and

probably Australian, greyhound racing when, just 20-

minutes later that time went by the wayside with the

record being lowered to 29.74.

The Gary Mellor-trained Thundering Two, one of SA's

best young greyhounds to grace the Angle Park circuit

took out the 1985 cup to cap off a memorable year for

the Mellor kennel. A year earlier Thundering Two had

won the Colin Viney Memorial Champion Puppy, the

SA Derby, the WA Young Star Classic and also the

Gawler Produce Stake.

The Alan Kelly-trained Farquhar took out the 1986

Adelaide Cup before the well-bred Joe Hili-trained

Club Edition ran a race-record 29.94 in winning the

cup in 1987.

Bev Hall, and her partner Charlie Merrett, were

colourful characters in SA greyhound racing during the

1980s and they combined to win the Adelaide Cup in

1988 with High Wonder. The 1988 Adelaide Cup was

the first time the race was held in January - a place it

now firmly holds on the Australian greyhound racing

calendar.

After winning the first three Adelaide Cups at Angle

Park the 'Meadows Maestro', Doug Payne, broke a 14-

year drought when rank outsider Kuriarkin, owned by

the late Bill Hocking, was successful in 1989.

Payne often referred to Kuriarkin's win as one of his

greatest training achievements. Drawn awkwardly in

box four, Kuriarkin, who had only scraped into the

field, flew the traps to snare the early lead before

taking advantage of a first-turn scrimmage to score in

30.44 and, in doing so, landing some very nice wagers

for loyal kennel supporters.

With the prizemoney for the Adelaide Cup on the

spiral, SA's premier race was becoming a 'must' for the

leading interstate kennels.

The Gerry O'Keefe-trained Sandi's Me Mum, winner of

the 1989 National Sprint Championship, was the star

attraction for the 1990 Adelaide Cup and she delivered

the goods running out an easy three-length winner over

the Payne-trained Packard in 30.23.

O'Keefe, one of the industry's gentlemen, was always

receptive to the media and one of the best

advertisements for greyhound racing was his

promotional shot leading into that year's cup - a man

and his dog - O'Keefe and Sandi's Me Mum stretched

out in bed having an afternoon 'kip'.

ADELAIDE CUP HISTORY

Continued from Page 1

ADELAIDE CUP HISTORY continued…

Following her Adelaide Cup win, Sandi's Me Mum

confirmed her status as one of Australia's all time great

bitches by winning her second National Sprint

Championship.

Another of Australia's highly-feted bitches, the Doug

Ferrami-trained Highly Blessed and a slick 29.95 in

winning the 1991 cup before the Ray Cunneen-trained

South Road Sid ran a race record 29.83 in winning the

1992 cup.

With three victories on the trot in the Adelaide Cup it

again was SA's turn when the Joe Perovic-trained

Croation Star became the youngest winner of an

Adelaide Cup when scoring a 30.17 win in 1993. At

just over two years of age, Croation Star defeated a

classy line up which included Gun Law Osti and 1993

National Sprint Champion, Casino Tom.

Don and Helen Foster, one of SA's most successful

husband and wife teams, landed the 1994 cup with

Perplexed in a new race-record time of 29.49. On

occasions injury-prone, Perplexed flew the traps to lead

throughout and beat Golden Currency, who dead

heated in the inaugural Topgun, and Golden Mike, who

also was owned and trained by the Fosters. In the

twilight of his career, Golden Mike, who had won the

1992 Gawler Gold Cup, was very gallant in defeat.

Perplexed also holds the distinction of being the last

SA-trained greyhound to win the Adelaide Cup. Since

1994, interstate raiders have won the $50,000 winners'

cheque.

In 1995 New South Wales tasted its first success in the

Adelaide Cup when Forest Fin, a son of arguably one

of SA's finest sprinters, Ginger, ran a new race-record

of 29.33 in beating Jurassic Vapour and Golden

Currency. 1995 also heralded another amazing piece of

history for SA's only Group 1 feature.

In finishing second the John Keep-trained Jurassic

Vapour had just started to make his mark on the

Adelaide Cup.

Based in Queensland, Keep vowed to return again in

1996 to try and avenge Jurassic Vapour's defeat. True

to his word, Keep did come back and Jurassic Vapour

was successful in beating the Both Barrels in 29.55.

Despite his rising years, and having competed at the

highest level for almost two seasons, Jurassic Vapour

returned to SA in 1997 to again tackle the cup.

A third placing behind the late Merv Patching trained

Rare Deceit and Grand Illusion was enough for Jurassic

Vapour to snare his piece of Adelaide Cup glory. He is

the only greyhound to have won, and been placed in

two Adelaide Cups, in three consecutive years - a feat

which may never be equalled.

Rare Deceit's Cup win, like that of Riviera Tiger in

1978, was shrouded with controversy when a no-race

was declared in one of the heats, necessitating a re-run

the following Monday night to allow the final to be

staged on the Thursday night.

Ironically, it was Rare Deceit's heat which was declared

the no-race and, after winning the re-run and drawing

box one for the final, she proved too classy in leading

throughout.

However, it was the no-race, which destroyed the

Adelaide Cup aspirations of two of SA greyhound

racing's stalwarts - Brian Lee and Edlin Lienert. Lee

and Lienert owned star SA sprinter Oak Raider who

crashed into the outside running rail when the lure

failed and was scratched from the re-run.

Twelve months later Oak Raider won through to the

Adelaide Cup final but in his swansong, was no match

for Australia's emerging superstar, Rapid Journey.

Trained by Jane Carruthers, Rapid Journey had little

form leading into the cup series but, after a power-

packed performance to land an effortless 9.5-length

win over Plumb Bob and Brookside Cindy, he was the

name on everyone's lips.

From Adelaide Cup glory, Rapid Journey went on to

win the Australian Cup, Perth Cup, Golden Easter Egg

and Melbourne Cup amassing almost $500,000 in

prizemoney for the year. Now standing at stud, Rapid

Journey's progeny has really made its mark on the

Australian racing scene.

The strong, wide-running Ken Welsh-trained Young

Harrison took out the 1999 cup in one of the most open

Adelaide Cup finals before history-making

performances in 2000 and 2001.

Peter Giles, one of Australia's leading mentors, had

never tasted success in an Adelaide Cup but that

changed with the turn of the century when Jack Junior

record a track and race-record 29.32 win.

From Knocklaun Gold becoming the first greyhound to

break the 30-second barrier at Angle Park in 1984 to

Jack Junior's track-record gallop in 2000, greyhound

racing in SA had come a long way.

Late in 2000 greyhound racing circles were abuzz with

the 'new kid on the block', Brett Lee. Greyhound

Racing SA's prime objective was to lure connections of

Brett Lee to Angle Park.

He was the hottest piece of property. Get Brett Lee to

Angle Park and the crowd would be hanging from the

rafters.

Highly Blessed

ADELAIDE CUP HISTORY continued…

GRSA was successful in

attracting Brett Lee to

Adelaide. And, following a

sizzling 28.96 solo trial

around the Angle Park circuit,

he was the cynosure of all

eyes.

Trained by Darren

McDonald, Brett Lee won the

Group 3 Interstate Challenge

Cup before streeting his

opposition in his heat of the

Adelaide Cup.

Despite meeting a classy field

in the final, which included

recent Group 1 winners

Classic Capri and No Intent, an air of expectancy

hovered over the track as Brett Lee was paraded

towards the boxes for the final. Drawn awkwardly in

box three Brett Lee exploded from the boxes to lead

throughout for a six-length win over Classic Capri and

Renzo Bale in a new race and track record 28.88 - yes,

Brett Lee had become the first greyhound to officially

break the 29-second barrier at Angle Park.

Like Rapid Journey, Brett Lee was destined for

stardom with the Adelaide Cup providing the stepping-

stone. His 28.88 track record run was his fifth

individual track record.

Following his Adelaide Cup win Brett Lee went on to

win the Australian Cup, Golden Easter Egg and

Warrnambool Classic. The Adelaide Cup honour roll

contains the names of no less than four AGRA Hall of

Famers Sandi’s Me Mum, Highly Blessed, Rapid

Journey and Brett Lee.

Following Brett Lee local star Brookside Bear won the

cup in 2002 recording 29.67 he was raced by Ray

Borda and trained by Terry Cahalan Brookside Bear

defeated Victorian’s champions Carlisle Jack &

Henerik Bale.

In 2003 the Peter Dapiran trained Waterview Star

defeated Melbourne Cup winner Excite Ability and

Arvo’s Junior who later become a superstar of the

staying ranks winning the National Distance

Championship at Angle Park. Waterview Star ran a

smart 29.34 but unfortunately had his career cut short

due to serious injury.

Underrated Victorian sprinter Hotline Hero won the

cup in 2004 and became the first group 1 success for

outstanding trainer Kelvin Greenough. Raced by

Greenough’s good friend Corey Siekman, the black and

white chaser upstaged the more fancied finalists’

including long odds on ($1.50) favourite Big Daddy

Cool and Hall of Fame superstar Bogie Leigh in 29.56.

from box 4.

Darren McDonald returned in 2005 to win the cup with

the talented Collide raced by AFL superstar Tony

Lockett. Collide defeated Go For Forever and Black

Lee in 29.52.

After another drought of local trained winners classy

sprinter Miss Spicy upset a team of Victorians with a

brilliant win in the 2006 cup. The former Queenslander

raced by Sarah Pringle was trained by Troy Murray

who with his father Ray had enjoyed a long association

with Pringle. Miss Spicy recorded 29.46 and proving it

was no fluke when she also took out the Australian Cup

in March only to have her career cut short in the lead

up to the Easter Egg.

In 2007 Victorian Big Time Max ran down Airbourne

Bale to win the cup brilliantly in 29.30. The talented

sprinter begun well and stalked the leader for most of

the trip before racing away in the home straight to win

well. It was a star studded field including AGRA

Greyhound of the Year Betty’s Angel.

In 2008 a youngster with only 15 starts under her belt

blasted out the seven ally to win brilliantly in 29.40 for

Victorian trainer Jason Thompson. Whippy’s Image

was to race only briefly for the rest of the year because

of injury and we perhaps never saw the best of her.

Raced by New South Wales legendary greyhound man

Dennis Reid it was another success after decades of

breeding and racing top class chasers.

Jason Thompson made it back to back cups in 2009

when his Superstar El Galo held off a late challenge

from the popular local star Scull Murphy. The “Scull”

almost brought the house down when turning for home

he appeared a winning chance but it wasn’t to be and

the 2008 AGRA Greyhound of the Year El Galo added

another Group 1 to his already impressive resume.

Outstanding Paul Wheeler owned and bred Dyna

Lachlan made a one act affair of the 2010 Cup with an

all-the-way win from box two. Recording a fast 29.63

it was his 22nd career victory for the Dailly camp from

Anakie in Victoria and took the star sprinters stake

earnings to over 271 thousand dollars.

Due to a change in the AGRA calendar the Adelaide

Cup was conducting twice in the one year in 2011. The

race was changed to an October fixture after being run

in January most years. The first Adelaide Cup for 2011

was won by smart Victorian Kilty Lad. The

outstanding sprint talent made it 17 and four from only

27 starts and collected his second Group 1 in 20 days

after scoring in the Silver Chief final at the Meadows

on New Year’s day. The brilliant youngster, had also

made the Hobart 1000 in late December 2010 so he

was no stranger to elite level racing, he had won the

Group 3 WA Young Star Classic at Cannington in

November and made the final of the Group 3 SA Derby

in October.

Brett Lee

ADELAIDE CUP HISTORY continued…

In the second edition of the cup for 2011 Victorian

youngster Mepunga Nicky who only a month before

had claiming the Group 3 SA Oaks led all the way to

beat a top quality field. Mepunga Nicky, who started

$4.10 on Tattsbet, flew the lids and cleared the field

from box eight, railing hard and holding off a late

challenge from $2.90 favourite Radley Bale she

claimed her first Group 1.

2012 and less than a week after being involved in a

serious crash that claimed the life of his litter-mate Big

Black Mac, Spud Regis collected the biggest pay

cheque of his career to that point and stamped himself

as a genuine star of the sport. Shooting for his eighth

straight win, the son of Bombastic Shiraz showed his

class flying out of box five to be second to the first turn.

He quickly overhauled local hope Prank Call down the

back straight, shooting clear as they turned for home.

Spud Regis $4.40 kept his composure in the run to the

line, stopping the clock in 29.75 seconds and holding

off fast finishing QuaVadis $9 by a length-and-a-

quarter. Proven Nitro $4, the fastest qualifier, was two

and three-quarter lengths back in third.

2013 boom South Australian Ernie Bung Arrow

stamped himself as the best young chaser in land with

an incredible victory in the Group 1 Adelaide Cup on

Thursday night. The big Angle Park crowd roared as

the rising star, who cost just $800, exploded from box

eight and led all the way to deliver the first hometown

victory since Miss Spicy in 2006. Ernie Bung Arrow

had won 13 of his 14 starts (for just under $120,000 in

prizemoney) and followed in the footsteps of the 2012

winner Spud Regis, completing the SA Derby-Adelaide

Cup double. Lewiston trainer Ken Gill, who has been in

the game for 42 years, was lost for words after claiming

the prestigious Group 1.

2014 Victorian trained sprinter Allen Deed confirmed

himself as one of the stars of Australian greyhound

racing with a dominant victory in the Group 1 Adelaide

Cup. Andrea Dailly’s superstar stamped himself as the

one to beat when clocking a track-record closing

sectional in his heat the previous week and he didn’t

disappoint in the final. Allen Deed isn’t a noted

beginner, but when he stepped cleanly and was among

the leading pack coming to the first turn, only bad luck

was going to beat him. Allen Deed ($2.70 favourite)

then exploded down the back straight, zooming around

Blurred Lines ($9) on the final turn before coming away

to score in a lightning quick 29.48 seconds.

2015 and history was made when champion sprinter

Fernando Bale ($1.30) became the first greyhound to

break through the $1 million dollar mark in prizemoney

when he blew away a strong Group 1 Adelaide Cup

field leaving them lamenting in his wake.

With history in the making there was an air of

confidence as the superstar made his way to the boxes

in front of a large vocal crowd on a beautiful night in

Adelaide. The Dailly camp seemed to absorb the

pressure and take it in their stride even with owner Paul

Wheeler making the trip to the festival state.

He was on hand to witness one of the most brilliant

performances seen on the Angle Park circuit with

Fernando Bale running a brilliant 29.20 in winning by

over 5 lengths.
