AGRA News Leo’s Gift was best to begin, while Striker Light jumped fairly and Lucky Chap was moving into a threatening position before a check put him out of play. Leo’s Gift turned for home ahead of Raw Ability and Striker Light and refused to relinquish his Super Night at the Bool By GRV Website advantage, defeating Striker Light by three-quarters of a The Britton family was celebrating overtime on length in a slick 25.08sec, his 16th win from 49 starts. Wednesday night when outsider Leo’s Gift caused a boil “Dad is in America right now and I’ve just come -over in the Group 2 Warrnambool Cup, upsetting warm back from there. Dad bought a farm in Abilene (Kansas) favourite Striker Light. and I’ve been rearing pups there for him,” Tim said. Trained by Robert Britton, who’s currently holidaying “I’ve just completed my second six-month stint in the United States, Leo’s Gift was a wedding present there and the plan is to continue rearing litters there. to Britton’s daughter Tamara and husband Adam “We plan to sell a lot of the pups at the greyhound Tenadii, and he’s been a gift that keeps on giving. auctions held regularly in Abilene and if we get a really good one we might bring it to Australia to race.” Leo’s Gift is raced by Tamara Tenadi and trained by Robert Britton of Lara in Victoria. Leo’s Gift is a Fawn dog whelped September 2014 by Spring Gun from Ruby Jet (Gable Lafourche x Tui Lid). He has won 16 of his 49 starts and has been placed on 18 occasions and with the $47,000 first prize for the Warrnambool Cup it took his current stake earnings to $129,970.

His surprise all-the-way Cup triumph reaped a $47,000 purse and took his earnings to a tick under $130,000. “Two weeks before my sister Tamara was getting married a couple of years ago I wanted to buy her a greyhound pup as a present, so I asked my dad to find one and we presented him to her at the wedding,” Tim Britton, Robert’s son and Tamara’s brother, explained. “We brought the four-month-old pup to the reception and he was a huge hit. “So Tamara owns him and I have a small share. I was just hoping he’d go on to win a couple of races, but to win a Group race with him is unbelievable.” Leo’s Gift had been racing consistently without setting the world on fire over 500 metres in town in recent weeks before making a winning Warrnambool debut with an all-the-way 25.35sec heat victory. At his 49th start, and just his second in a Group event, having finished unplaced in last year’s South Australian Derby, Leo’s Gift started at $15.20 from box five. Golden Easter Egg heroine Striker Light, chasing her first feature trophy in her home state, was the $2.90 favourite from box two, head of Anthony Azzopardi’s fastest qualifier Lucky Chap, another Easter Egg finalist, which exited the four alley as a $4.30 chance.
Bewildering races away with the Warrnambool Untapped talent Bewildering completed a stunning clean sweep of the rich Group 2 Macey’s Bistro Warrnambool Classic series with a runaway victory in Wednesday night’s final. At just his 12th start, Bewildering, trained by Seona Thompson, upstaged two of the best sprinters in the land in Lightning Frank and Up Hill Jill when careering away with the $75,000 to-the-winner Classic. Bewildering is a son of 2013 Melbourne Cup hero Black Magic Opal, which also left his mark on the Warrnambool Carnival, claiming the Cup in 2014, and he’s raced in the same interests, the See The Dream Syndicate, featuring long-time Thompson kennel clients Sergio and Bill Buccilli. We won the Melbourne Cup and a Warrnambool Cup with Black Magic Opal among other races,” Sergio said. “We bred this dog. He’s a litter brother to Extreme Magic, who is the quickest dog we’ve ever had.

AGRA News Warrnambool Classic - Continued Extreme Magic tends to grind away in his races whereas Bewildering is more of a sprinter. In fact, he is racing more and more like Black Magic Opal did.” Bewildering had been beaten at his previous five starts heading into the Classic series, but he stormed into the decider with commanding heat and semi-final victories, clocking 24.93sec and 25.40sec respectively. Drawn in box eight for the decider, Bewildering was one of only three contenders at single figure odds, starting at $7.50, with local hero Lightning Frank, a dual Group 1 winner, dominating the market at $1.50 from the rails and fastest semi winner Up Hill Jill the $3.90 second elect. Up Hill Jill won the early speed battle, with Lightning Frank getting into trouble, while Bewildering moved ominously into second. Bewildering swept to the front rounding the home turn and quickly put paid to Up Hill Jill, powering clear to score by an ever-widening 4 ½ lengths in an airborne 24.74sec, just .02sec outside Unlawful Entry’s 450m track record. “We were very confident. He’s got the ability and got the bloodlines to achieve anything,” Buccilli said. “It’s great to race against the best and beat the best, and with greyhounds like Lightning Frank and Up Hill Jill in the race it was probably one of the strongest Warrnambool Classic fields assembled in recent years. “Lightning Frank is sired by Black Magic Opal as well so we are always cheering for him whenever he races, although it was obviously nice to beat him tonight.” Bewildering is a Black Dog whelped February 2015 by Black Magic Opal from Outlandish (Collision x Tocsin) he is raced by the See The Dream Syndicate and trained by Seona Thompson at Pearcedale in Victoria. Bewildering has raced 12 times for five wins and three placings, adding the Classic’s first prize of 75,000 his overall stake earnings they went to $84,765.
McCarthy all smiles after winning the Queensland Derby By Kathrine Earnst Australian Racing Greyhound for AGRA
Rather Dapper winning the Queensland Derby Pic - Box 1 Photography
night’s Group 2 Queensland Derby (520m) at Albion Park. The black and white dog was sent to the boxes as a $20 shot off the cherry, but managed to slot into second spot early before finding the lead down the back and kicking clear to score by one-and-a-half lengths in 29.98. Fire To Rain ($44.30) (box eight) ran on well to grab second ahead of early leader Captain Til ($48.60) (box six). Despite being one of the outsiders in the sensational field, McCarthy said he went into the event giving his charge a genuine chance. “Since the Vince Curry final where he hit the lids he hasn’t really been jumping, but I thought if he could step with them then he would be a bit of a chance,” He didn’t get out brilliant, but it was a lot better than he has been and the one box helped. “Once the six crossed him he got right on its back in second – down the back he went past it and I remember looking back at the eight hoping we’d be able to hold it off.” Once the son of Dyna Lachlan and Pearl Za Zinger crossed the line in front, McCarthy said it was hard to contain his excitement. “I have still got the smile on my face,” he said. “It was surreal – I was watching the race and Mick Zammit slapped me on the back and said ‘you’ve got it Johnny’ before they got to the line – but I still didn’t want to get too excited until he crossed the line. “Once he won it there was pure elation – it’s lovely to win these races and of course there is big money on offer – but for me it is just about the thrill of winning the race – that’s what I’m in the industry for.” It was an especially rewarding win for McCarthy, who bred and owns the consistent greyhound, now a winner of four from 10 with three minor placings. McCarthy said the win was also a relief after his greyhound had been defeated in two previous group race finals. “I think I am happy to settle for the Derby – it’s a pretty good substitute for the other two,” McCarthy quipped. “He went into the Vince Curry and Ipswich Auction Series as favourite and the luck didn’t go our way. “I would have hated for the dog to not to win a big race given how much ability he has and knowing he was a big chance in the other races.” Rather Dapper is raced, trained and bred by John McCarthy of Wivenhoe Pocket Queensland. Rather Dapper is a Black& White dog whelped April 2015 by Dyna Lachlan from Pearl Za Zinger (Surf Lorian x Kaycee Diva). He has won four of his 10 starts and with the $47,250 first prize for the Queensland Derby it took his current stake earnings to $52,566.

BRED TO WIN Our weekly selection of greyhounds to follow, based on their breeding and recent performances. DEAD EYE DICKSON White & Black dog, August 2015 Fernando Bale x Oh Cee Ya. Beautifully bred youngster, raced by James Pattinson and by Gavin Gledhill at Coomboona. Got into more trouble that the early explorers at his first start, over 515 metres at Sandown, on 7 May, after starting from box three. Began OK and showed good track sense at the first turn, before he struck trouble and was then checked three or four times before finishing well back.
FEEL YOUR HEART Blue brindle dog, January 2015 Cape Hawke x Charlie Salute. Trained at Tooradin by Stanley Ralph for the Dales syndicate. Had no luck at all when fifth from box one over 515 metres at Sandown (SAP) on 7 May, when beaten 9.49 lengths in the race won by Weeona Paul (30.14). Was well placed going down the back when he got cut off and was never a chance after that. That was his third race start after a fifth over 400 metres at Warragul on 21 April, then a handy 29.95 win from box three over 515 metres at Sandown on 30 April so he obviously has plenty of ability and should strike back very soon. SMALL ROSE Black bitch, December 2014 Banjo Boy x Classy Caitlyn. Raced by Paul Schroeder and trained at Toora by Kenneth Height. Four starts now for a Sale 440 metres win (24.98) on 23 April and two placings over 311 metres at Cranbourne. Big step up in class and distance when good third over 515 metres at Sandown (SAP) on 7 May when beaten 10.2 lengths behind Shadale (29.56) who won by 8.6 lengths. That was a great run and has plenty of promise. Sell your pups here
