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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
