Metropolitan Winners

- 7 -

The old saying is you’ve got to be in it to win it

and that certainly proved to be the case around

thetracks at New South Wales during the past

week, with plenty of big-priced winners causing

upsets.

At Gosford last Tuesday night, as Ruon Roxon for

Brandy Hill trainer Mark Davidson got the cash in

race eight over 515m at massive odds of $73.20. In a

roughly contested affair, this daughter of Black

Bear Lee and Windswept notched up her second

career win in a time of 29.97.

Jilliby trainer Beverley Sandes would’ve certainly

been thankful she was in race six at Ladbrokes

Gardens on Saturday night, as her charge Spring

Stitch caused a huge upset at odds of $42.10. This

son of Spring Gun and Stitch Miss recorded his first

win since January 2018 with a lovely performance

from box two, jumping smartly and leading all the

way in 23.47.

Wentworth Park is a track that’s seen plenty of

upsets over the past couple of weeks and last night

Dandy Dale added to that list with a 30.50

performance in the last at juicy odds of $18.00.

Favourite punters looking to end the night on a high

would’ve been bitterly disappointed, as Stuart

Hazlett’s charge streaked away from the field by

three and a half lengths at the finish. This son of

Oaks Road and Champness Gal has been very

consistent in town of late, with two wins and a

second from his past five starts. On Wednesday

night, Shane Pulbrook’s Tiggerlong Eve produced an

almighty upset from box four in race nine, etching

out odds-on favourite Feral Franky by a neck in

30.67. This daughter of Kinloch Brae* and

Tiggerlong Petal returned massive odds of $31 for

brave punters courageous enough to go against the

favourite.

If you managed to pick the quinella in race two at

Dapto on Thursday night you certainly would’ve

had a smile from ear to ear, with the two outsiders of

the field finishing first and second in a shortcourse

race over 297m. Champness Miss for Patrick Daly

led all the way from box four in 17.15

returning odds of $17 for punters, while Rafi Rose

for Mario Azzopardi secured second place at

$15.00. The quinella returned $105.50 in New South

Wales.

Barcia Bale litter THIS week’s review of litters from the Victorian Litter

Registrations list for the week ending 31 December,

starts with a nice litter of eight pups by national stud

success, Barcia Bale (March 2010 Go Wild Teddy x

Princess Bale).

Registered by George Farrugia, for the Farrugia-

bitches are from the well bred bitch, Destini Supreme

(May 2014 Soprano Drive* x Destiny Shaker), whose

dam is by Where’s Pedro x Greys Destiny* (Kiowa

She was the standout in a litter of six named which

produced five winners, with her record showing she

three times over 515 metres at Sandown (29.59), twice

over 405 metres at Mandurah (22.89) and also over 525

The four dogs and four bitches in the litter are

from the well bred, handy city winner, Giddy’s Star

(May 2011 Where’s Pedro x Giddigan), whose dam is

by Puzzle Prize x Chersam Honcho (Head Honcho x

She was the standout in her litter of seven named,

The Meadows (30.25), 450 metres at Ballarat (25.66)

and 460 metres at Warragul (25.97).

She has winners on file from her first two litters,

whelped in October 2014, by Fabregas then December

2015, by Kelsos Fusileer*, then whelped a litter of four

dogs and four bitches, by Primo Uno in January 2017.

NSW News LISMORE CLOSED FOLLOWING GRNSW

CONCERNS OVER TRACK SAFETY

GRNSW

GREYHOUND Racing NSW (GRNSW) has

advised all participants that Lismore will be

closed indefinitely following an inordinate

number of injuries at the track.

The injury toll, which GRSW said is “unacceptable”

has been a constant issue at the track and both

training and racing will not be conducted until an

investigation is conducted.

The Greyhound Racing NSW statement reads:

“GRNSW has announced that all racing and trialling

activity at the Lismore track will be suspended

pending the completion of an assessment of track

safety by an independent panel of experts.

“This decision is made as a result of unacceptably

high levels of major injuries and fatalities at the track

over the past 12 months.

“GRNSW regrets any inconvenience caused to

participants as a result of the track closure, but

greyhound welfare and safety remains GRNSW’s

key priority.”

NSW GOTBA History Special

- 19 -

NSW GOTBA Part 1 History Resulting from a Royal Commission in 1932, the

introduction of non-proprietary Greyhound

Racing in Australia commenced.

Non-proprietary meaning that Greyhound

Racing could only be conducted by clubs or

Associations with voting members and not by

individuals or private companies.

In 1936 a group of enthusiasts associated with

Greyhound Racing formed a body of owners and

trainers to gain some form of financial assistance to

ensure the existence of Greyhound Racing and from

this small beginning the NSW Greyhound Breeders,

Owners & Trainers' Association Limited was

formed.

The Association was incorporated as a Company

on July 31, 1939. The then Secretary was to select

and engage an organiser to move among owners,

trainers and breeders and join them together as a

united body with the instruction to form branches

and district associations to enable the Association to

serve the whole of the State of NSW. It does this

today with seven districts and thirty branches, with

some 1,200 members actively involved in the

Greyhound Racing Industry.

In 1939 the first Memorandum and Articles of

Association were drawn up and registered. The aims

and objectives of the Association were set out and

there have been few changes since that time. Pages

3, 4, 5 and 6 of the current Articles outline these

objectives.

Ten Directors are elected by the members

themselves by way of a postal ballot. These ten

Directors manage the Association’s affairs and

finances. Districts the Directors represent are:

Metropolitan (3 Directors), Newcastle and Hunter

River (2 Directors), the other Districts having one

Director each and are: South Coast and Southern

Tablelands, Northern Rivers, Western, North and

North Western and Riverina.

In 1948 the Association petitioned the Government

to allow the Association to hold the licence for

Greyhound Racing at Harold Park and following the

introduction of night trotting, the then current

licence holder, The NSW Trotting Club (as it was

then known) relinquished the licence to the

Association and the two bodies, until September

1987, conducted their own sport at Harold Park. The

success of the Association’s operations at Harold

Park is well documented and until Greyhound

Racing ceased there in 1987, the track was

considered the premier track in Australia.

In 1959 the Association purchased land and a

factory at North Rocks in NSW where it designed

and built greyhound race and trial track equipment

for the Australian and overseas market.

The factory proved a worthy asset as it did much to

ensure the continuation of Greyhound Racing. In

the1960’s many trial tracks were closing down as

the land on which they were built was becoming

much sought after by developers for housing. The

Association realising the danger to Greyhound

Racing if trial track facilities were not available to

owners and trainers, encouraged new proprietors to

secure land and offered the services of its factory to

advise and supply equipment at a minimal cost. The

factory was eventually sold in the late seventies.

From that small beginning in 1936, the Association

currently owns the land and holds licences to race at

Temora (1953), Lismore (1954), Appin (1967),

Bathurst (2003) and Gunnedah (2003). It also owns

the land on which the Muswellbrook Club is

situated.

The Association also holds the licence to race at

Wentworth Park, Bulli, Gosford and Maitland.

In 1992, the Association purchased a property at

Lidcombe which it had rebuilt and re-furbished for

the Registered Offices of the Association.

In 2010 the Association moved to the 2nd Floor of

the Wentworth Park Grandstand and that location is

now the Association's Registered Office.

The Lidcombe property is currently being rented.

Australia Day racing at Sale

This Australia Day, the Sale

Greyhound Racing Club will

be hosting a superb evening

of entertainment with great

food, music and exciting greyhound races.

Over the past two years, the Traralgon Cup has been

hosted on Australia Day as part of the Gippsland

Carnival; however, this year, the Country Cup has been

postponed due to drainage issues that have

compromised the safety of the Traralgon track.

Since the Traralgon track is closed until further

notice, the Sale Greyhound Racing Club stepped up to

host the Australia Day meeting and are promising a

fantastic evening not to be missed!

The meeting will include a GDR special race

event, two VICGREY races and the Sale to Sandown

Grade 5 heats.

To celebrate Australia Day, there will be a free

Sausage Sizzle and lots of Aussie fun, including a prize

for the best Aussie outfit.

You can look forward to entertainment for the

whole family with free kids activities, food trucks,

bars, and a live DJ playing music all night.

There will also be a meet and greet with former

Collingwood AFL player, Dane Swan, at the Trackside

Party Paddock.

Records fall at GAP three-day Adoption event

A new record for the number of greyhounds

adopted at a single event has fallen with 111

greyhounds finding new homes at the Greyhound

Adoption Program’s three-day adoption event at

Seymour (January 18-20).

After 70 of the 115 greyhounds up for adoption found

homes on Friday, a further 41 went home with their

new families on Saturday.

This brought the total number of greyhounds

adopted across the weekend to 111, surpassing the

record set last year of 103.

Due to the overwhelming response, the planned

Sunday event (January 20) has been cancelled,

however, GAP staff will still be on hand to assist

potential adopters.

This year, for the first time, GAP waived the $75

adoption fee for the adoption event.

GRV Deputy Chair Peita Duncan said it was no

surprise that the record was broken.

“This just shows the love affair the Victorian public

has with the greyhound breed,” Ms Duncan said.

“The secret is out and there are now thousands of

greyhounds in homes and apartments right across the

State.

“The most pleasing thing about the weekend is we

have found loving homes for more than 100 of our

beautiful greyhounds.

“I’m sure all the people who have taken home

greyhounds this weekend will join me in saying well

done again to our GAP staff who have matched them

with their new family member.”

If you would like to find out more information

about the adopting a greyhound please contact GAP

Copley’s Corner - With Gerard Guthrie

Elation the Riddle for Ellul By Jason Adams

Paul Ellul experienced his biggest thrill in more

than a decade last night as his own Riddles claimed

a city win at Sandown Park.

Riddles, with Paul Elul (right), Darren Bridges (centre) and

Gary Armstrong (left)

It was Ellul’s first city win in two decades and it comes

at exactly the right time after a run of hard luck away

from the track.

“You feel down in the dumps then something

like this happens. Over the last three months there’s

been things breaking down around the house. You ask

yourself when is this all gonna stop? After last night I

think it has turned around,” said a proud Ellul.

“It’s been a lot of years since I’ve had a winner on a

Thursday night. They don’t come around often as a

hobby trainer, it’s a great feeling.”

Ellul has spent the majority of his life working as

a painter and has done many hours touching up some

of the paintwork at Sandown Park.

“You win a race in the country and it’s great, but to

win one at Sandown, a place I have done some work at

and grew up around, it’s a really big buzz.”

Training greyhounds has been something Ellul

has done since his late teens, his passion for the breed

developed while growing up around the Springvale

area, with a social outing to Sandown Park every

Thursday night the norm.

“I used to live on View Road, my mates an I used to

rock up every Thursday night, back then that was

payday so we went out to have a bit of fun.”

Over his many years training greyhounds, he has

never had more than three at one time. Although he’s

been in the care of some with good ability, none have

boasted the promise that Riddles is showing.

Ellul purchased him from Queensland when he

was 9 months of age and it didn’t take long for ‘Bluey’

to be sent down to his new Noble Park home.

“I bought him off Steve McDermott, he had a photo on

Greyhound Data of four pups though was only selling

one. I liked the breeding and told him I want to buy the

blue dog.

“I broke him (Riddles) in at Sandown and to be honest

early on he didn’t go that well, but with time he

continued to improve. He’s no champion but handy

ones like him don’t come around all the time.

“I’ve had a couple of blokes ask if I’d be interested in

selling Bluey. I’ve been in racing a long time, when

you come across one like him, it’s purely about the

thrill and excitement.”

Riddles celebrates his 2nd birthday next

Wednesday and is shaping up as the perfect type to

contest April’s $432,000 Launching Pad series.

“During kennelling Jason Ireland told me he might be

a good dog for the Launching Pad, I said ‘what are ya

talking about?’ But after last night it looks a real

possibility.

Happy Birthday Lilly 5 years young today.

Yesterday you went off to live with your new family.

For us a bitter sweet day. We are always so sad when

one our GREYHOUND SAFETY NET Foster Dogs

leave us. But it makes us so happy when receive photos

like this one of our beautiful Lilly from her new family.

We know you will be much loved. So our job is done

Had an amazing weekend away at Countrywide

Cottages. Would highly recommend.

Arnie had a blast

Noel McMahon (Admin)

Warmer Weather

Finally some warmer weather in Victoria.

But irrespective of where you live be mindful

when walking your greyhounds that they may

take some time to adjust to the heat

Greyhounds traditionally don’t like walking in

temperatures above 25 degrees so:

Ditch the coats

Keep the walks shorter until they adjust

Walk earlier in cooler temperatures

Watch for signs of distress

Keep your dogs hydrated and

Make sure they have water immediately

they get home

And watch out for snakes in long grass

because they are active.

FOSTER A GREYHOUND:

There are many greyhounds who need a little more

assistance to help them settle into pet life

They fall into two categories

Greyhounds who are transitioning from the track

and need help to pass their GAP assessment

OR

Those dogs who have been a marginal fail at their

GAP assessment

These dogs are just gorgeous happy greyhounds, the

only difference is that need a little more help to

transition into pet life

The reality is that without foster carers some of

these dogs are at risk

If you would like to change the life of beautiful dog

contact Rebecca and join her team
