Black Frenzy finished second, with trainer Andrea Dailly also claiming third place with Diego Bale. Not only did Dyna Double One break a 36-year old record, his career prizemoney earnings cracked the magical million dollar mark, with his total of $1,160,316, still placing him third on the all-time prizemoney winners list. As one of very few greyhounds to have run down Fernando Bale, which he did in 2015 to claim victory in the Group One Melbourne Cup, his strength and desire to be first the past the post, resulted in so many supporters, with a flourishing stud career on the rise.

Dyna Double One

Going into the heats on the back of an outstanding win in the Group One Rookie Rebel over 600m a week earlier, this son of Barcia Bale and Crystin Bale was all the rage with punters at $1.40. Jumping from box two, the 35kg chaser streaked away from his rivals to score by five lengths at the finish in a sizzling 29.64. After drawing box two again in the final, punters were keen to back the Andrea Dailly trained chaser to complete a rare feat of the Melbourne Cup and Australian Cup double, which was last achieved by Tangaloa back in 1980. Stepping out onto the track at $2.20, the next best backed runner was Jason Thompson's Pop The Cork, who went into the race with four runners. Thompson's Black Frenzy won the jump from box five and it was up to Dyna Double One to once again exude his incredible strength to secure the title. After taking control in the home straight, the black - 10 -

Nine for Billy

Brad Hill Billy x Little Meeka

6 P. Bladdon

THIS week’s review of litters on the small NSW list of only four litters for the week ending 31 December, starts with a nice litter of nine pups by Brad Hill Billy (January 2013 Kinloch Brae* x Break Even). Registered by Cowra breeder, Pamela Braddon, the three dogs and six bitches are from the well bred, proven producer, Little Meeka (August 2011 Collision x Taradearra), whose dam is by Over Flo x Janderra (Ultimate Wish x Mackie). She is from a handy litter of four named, all winners, who raced 302 times, for the impressive record of 89-62-49 with a win strike race of 29.5%. She raced 74 times, for 16 wins and 36 placings, winning six times over 318 metres at Dubbo (18.30), where she also won over 400 metres (23.17), four times over 327 metres at Cowra (18.99), three times over 307 metres at Bathurst (17.60) with single wins over 330 metres at Temora (19.28) and 350 metres at Goulburn (19.97). She has five named offspring, all winners, from her first litter, whelped in July 2016, by Fabregas, then she whelped a litter of four dogs and three bitches, by El Grand Senor, in March 2018.

Two dog pups UNFORTUNATELY just the two dogs in our next litter, by Chenzhou Boy (January 2009 Bombastic Shiraz x Ocean Song). Registered by Londonderry breeder, Luke Azzopardi, the pair are from the very well bred bitch, Intuitiv Emgrand (January 2015 Mogambo x Fantasy Royale), whose dam is by Premier Fantasy* x Le Royale (Brett Lee x Sporty’s Babe). She is from a litter of eight named, with seven winners, who between them raced 243 times, for 53 wins and 59 placings, led by Kong, 15 wins, Wonelova Gunn, 11 wins, Watta Gun, 9 wins and Express Gunn, 9 wins. Her record shows she raced just six times, for one placing, a third over 450 metres at Shepparton, beaten 3.5 lengths (26.30 B26.06), but worth noting, in four of her six starts she was beaten by less than seven lengths. She has one previous litter on file, with one dog and two bitches, whelped in April, 2018, by Shima Bar.

Go Fernando OAKFORD breeder, Luke Garbutt has a nice litter of ten pups on the list by national stud sensation, Fernando Bale (March 2013 Kelsos Fusileer* x Chloe Allen). The five dogs and five bitches are from the lightly raced, former WA sprinter, Stand As One (February 2015 SH Avatar* x Ebby Miss), whose dam is by Head Bound x Senza Nome (Southern Champ* x Lucky Penna). She is from a litter of eleven which produced ten winners, who between them had 454 starts, for 118 wins and 139 placings, led by Ebby Ripper, 25 wins, Utah Miss, 19 wins, Rbby Chance, 17 wins, Mija Sydney, 15 wins, Suffragette, 13 wins and Mister Ebby, 10 wins. Her record shows she raced just seven times, for two wins and two placings, winning over 380 metres (21.80) and 520 metres (31.07) at Cannington. Certainly plenty to like about the form of her litter and I would imagine this litter will attract plenty of interest.

Eight for Fabio OUR final litter from this week’s NSW list is a nice litter of eight pups by successful sire, My Bro Fabio (March 2012 Turanza Bale x Flamenco). Registered by Cootamundra breeder, Michael Hugo, the four dogs and four bitches are from the wull bred bitch, Rear Chance (January 2014 Premier Fantasy* x Half A Chance), whose dam is by Bombastic Shiraz x It’s A Chance (Collision x Aziz Osti). he is from a litter of seven named, with six racing, for 330 starts for 74-58-55, led by the prolific winner, Extreme Chance, 134-48-39-21. She was the other standout in the litter, with her 95 starts resulting in 20 wins and 32 placings. She won nine times over 347 metres at Young (19.86), three times over 310 metres at Canberra (17.97), where she also won three times over 440 metres (25.69), twice over 453 metres at Cowra (26.14), where she also won over 327 metres (18.91) and 330 metres at Temora (19.48).

Copley’s Corner (Compiled by Gerard Guthrie) Tornado Tears ‘spaces’ Stayers rivals

Stayers run-off. By Gerard Guthrie Blue Moon Rising has now finished first or second in his last 14 starts. NSW raiders won the opening two heats of the Super Stayers with veteran Ebby Ripper, prepared by Michael Eberand, producing her trademark powerful finish to claim the second qualifier in 42.48sec, running down leader Black Impala ($4.20) at her 102nd start. Tornado Tears has been installed $1.30 favourite in TAB’s market after drawing box five, with Double Gee and Poco Dorado sharing the second line of betting at $7. ____________________________________________

Community groups back a winner at Australian Cup Any doubts that champion stayer Tornado Tears would return to his brilliant best after a lengthy injuryenforced spell were erased in no uncertain terms at The Meadows on Saturday night. Contesting the last of three heats of the Group 1 Fanta Bale Super Stayers, Tornado Tears produced a sensational display, clocking a near-record 41.96sec, just .03 outside his ‘uncle’ Space Star’s 725m benchmark. Space Star, a litter brother to Tornado Tears’ dam Tears Siam, also trained by master distance conditioner Robert Britton, set the record in the heats of the Super Stayers in 2015. Tornado Tears had only returned to the track one week earlier, after five months on the sidelines due to a hock injury, when he claimed a memorable – albeit narrow – victory in the Group 1 Zoom Top invitational. After running 42.51sec in the Zoom Top, Tornado Tears started a prohibitive $1.20 favourite from box two in the final Super Stayers heat, with his litterbrother Rippin’ Sam ($7.70) the only other runner at single figures. Tornado Tears began well and settled second behind Taken King ($18.70) and after railing to the lead approaching the home turn he exploded clear, careering away to a 7.34 length victory over Queenslander Double Gee ($15.70) and Boom Down ($26.50). It was Tornado Tears’ eighth win in a row and 21st from 30 overall, while he’s yet to taste defeat in four starts over The Meadows’ 725m course. The Zoom Top form from the opening night of the Australian Cup Carnival also stood up in the opening heat of the Super Stayers when ultra-consistent NSW visitor Blue Moon Rising was a commanding 42.73sec victor. Blue Moon Rising, trained by veteran mentor John Finn, had been edged out by Tornado Tears in the Zoom Top, beaten less than half a length, and he went one better as the $2.20 favourite in the first Super

When eight dogs line up in the boxes at this Saturday’s Australian Cup final, it won’t just be the trainers, owners and punters full of nerves. Thanks to The Meadows Greyhounds Community Grants Fund, each dog in the final will be paired up with a local charity with the winner set to receive a $10,000 donation. The charities not associated with the winning dog will hardly go home empty handed though, with The Meadows to donate $2000 to each of the seven remaining charities. The Meadows Chairman Eddie Caruana said he was thrilled to give back to community organisations on such a big night. “TAB Australian Cup night is our biggest event of the year and it’s so wonderful to use the occasion to give back to so many community groups,” Mr Caruana said. “As a club, we pride ourselves on being a key part of the wider Broadmeadows community and to help those in need within that community. The Meadows Greyhounds Community Grants Fund was created in 2017 to extend financial support to nonprofit organisations that provide quality programming in the areas of health, education, sport, recreation and community enhancement in the City of Hume.
