Got space on your couch, Bendigo The Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) is coming to Bendigo for the first time; bringing more than 30 beautiful, placid dogs for you to meet (and potentially take home!) It’s the first time we’ve arranged one of our famous adoption days in Bendigo, so it might be your first chance to see – and perhaps adopt – a former racing greyhound. They’re great pets; lazy, affectionate, low-maintenance and flat-out funny. GAP has re-homed more than 7,500 former racing greyhounds in the past 21 years; which makes us one of the most successful greyhound re-homing agencies in the world. We provide everything you need to begin your relationship with your dog; advice, background – even a collar and a lead – for the full adoption price of $75. So make space on the couch, then come and meet these beautiful dogs! Sunday, August 13 – at the Bendigo Greyhound Club from 11am – 1pm. Even if you’re not ready to adopt right now, we’re more than happy to answer your questions and talk about some of the other greyhounds we may have available. Please note that due to high demand, there won’t be any cattolerant greyhounds at this event. Registration: http://gap.grv.org.au/2017/07/19/space-couch-bendigo/

E A R L Y E D U C A T I O N $85 Prevention is better than cure, right? With breeding numbers down by around 60%, and an estimated 30-40% of pups not being named, I would like to start a new service... early education. I'd like to see this become my main, if not only service. I feel it's a critical step our industry has neglected for too long, and with the poor percentages above, its important we become more efficient with what we breed. I'll provide details in a day or so, but basically this program is for 3-9 month old pups, with a minimum of 12 weeks to gain real benefit from the intense one-onone education. But longer the better! There will be 6 stages of which your pup will go through, all designed to ensure your greyhound is a well -rounded, forward, confident and keen chaser, with his/ her prey-drive fully unlocked! They'll still get all the standard rearing, but will also get exposed to the kennel life as well as lots of bullring, box and drag lure work. For older pups, at stages 4, 5, and 6, your hound will be a junior race dog, they'll even compete against another pup behind the drag and on the clock, so that'll be great for syndications to keep clients excited! With early and consistent positive reinforcement, I can safely and confidently offer a full refund on the extra service if (IF) your pup doesn't break-in. That's $15 per week refund, even if you use the full 40 weeks, or minimum 12 weeks. (*conditions apply).

Letters Beautifully bred litter We received an email from Harry Manolitis during the week about a beautifully bred litter of pups he whelped on 21 June. The pups are by international stud success, Kinloch Brae* (August 2005 Craigie Mo Town x Greys Free Style) from the beautifully bred bitch, Dasha (March 2014 Go Wild Teddy x Outlandish), whose dam is by Collision x Tocsin (Pure Octane x Sound Lee).
Kinloch Brae*
Harry sent us this profile on the litter.
G3 Xmas Gift). Dasha from same family as Absolute Stunna who, when mated to Kinloch Brae, produced champions Ring The Bell (G1 Nat Distance, G1 NZ Silver Collar, G1 NZ Stayers Cup, G3 Summer Cup, 2nd G2 Topgun Stayers, 3rd G3 Top Cat Video Cup, G3 Syd Cup, finalist G1 Sale Cup twice, G1 Alb Pk Gold Cup), Bells Are Ringin (G1 Sandown Cup) and Blazin Bomber (G3 Speed Star, G3 Cran Puppy Classic, 2nd G1 Rookie Rebel, G2 Horsham Cup, 3rd G1 Vic Peters, G1 H-Dawson, finalist G1 Perth Cup, G1 Aust Cup, G1 Winter Cup, G1 Bris Cup, G2 Wgl Cup).
Champions. Record Breakers. Group stars. That's the recipe behind this mating ... a recipe for GREATNESS! 4 Dogs, 6 Bitches. Whelped June 21. Kinloch Brae-Dasha Sire: Kinloch Brae (Craigie Mo Town-Greys Free Style) The US sprint champion, champion sire in Ireland, England and a phenomenon in Australia. His damline traces directly to TWO US Hall of Fame broodbitches. Dam: Dasha (Go Wild Teddy-Outlandish) Meadows, Cranbourne and Bendigo winner. A half sister to superstars Bewildering (9 wins, $128,000. Sandown 29.12, Meadows 29.82. Winner G2 Wbool Classic, G3 Speed Star. Finalist G1 HarrisonDawson) and Extreme Magic (10 wins, $69,000. Traralgon Track Record. 3rd G1 Rookie Rebel, finalist G2 Cran Cup, G2 Trar Cup). 2nd Dam: Outlandish (Collision-Tocsin) Meadows winner and sister to Phenomenal (18 wins, $79,000. Track Records at Cranbourne, Ballarat, Horsham, Warrnambool. Meadows 29.77 in Mdn. 2nd G1 Sale Cup) and Pulverize (8 wins, $20,000). Dasha is form the direct damline of legend Head Honcho.
Dasha's second dam Tocsin is a litter sister to Regal Blaze the dam of Absolute Stunna. Kinloch Brae has a proven "nick" with broodbitches with Collision in their dam. This is the cross found in G1 Easter Egg winner Moreira and G1 Paws winner Aza Flying Spur. Dasha's dam Outlandish is by Collision. Dasha's second dam Tocsin is also a sister to Aston Dream the dam of Aston Bolero (Geelong TR, G2 Ben Cup, G2 Shep Cup, G3 S-Bullet, 2nd G1 Topgun, G2 Mait Cup, G2 Wgl Cup, G2 Ben Cup, finalist G1 Aust Cup twice, G1 H-Dawson, G1 Temlee, G2 Wbool Cup, G2 Hor Cup). The overwhelming majority of Kinloch Brae’s very best progeny in Australia have at least one, and sometimes more, crosses of Malawi’s Prince in their dam. Dasha has THREE crosses of Malawi’s Prince in her pedigree. EVERY single aspect of the mating between Kinloch Brae and Dasha is proven to the ultimate level ... Group 1. The sire is a sprint champion and stud dog great. The dam a multiple winner, half sister to superstars, from a family of greats. And the cross is proven, proven, proven. It stands every test.
THE MATING: Putting Dasha to Kinloch Brae is a recipe for greatness.

Shima’s Swansong By Michael Floyd Racing & Media Manager SGRC
It was a sentiment echoed by Shima Song’s elated owner and breeder, David Gleeson, who had identified her as a talent very early in her education. “She was an incredible dog, you’d open the back of the boxes and she’d run in. She was always down at the front and she’d fly out, you saw it tonight she began like a rocket. She very rarely misses the start,” he said. “I thought down the back they’d start to take ground off her but they didn’t. The two strongest dogs in the field were sitting behind her and for her to show that toughness was so thrilling. I’m thrilled to bits.” Gleeson also bred the third-place getter Bella Shima who is a half-sister to the winner, and also raced their mother Shimaguni, a group 3 winner that finished fourth in this race in 2011. Claiming the club’s premier 595m event was a special thrill for the long time Sandown director who breeds and races his greyhounds in partnership with good friend Bob Cummings. “He will be absolutely over the moon. He couldn’t come down tonight because he won’t leave the dogs at home on their own. He’s the best man in Australia when it comes to the handling of young dogs, there’s no one better. I’m sure that Bob will be thrilled to the back teeth.” Despite only recently turning three years of age and racing in the best form of her career, Gleeson was certain that was the last time we’ll see her on the track. A home on the couch beckons before embarking on a breeding career. “I wanted her to go out on a high. We’ll ease her out of the racing kennel and give her the rest that she deserves. I’m sure she’ll produce a few winners because she’s a faultless dog.” Later in the evening, Worm Burner returned to Sandown Park for the first time since a career threatening stomach muscle injury and reminded all why he’s regarded as one of the country’s most exciting chasers. Despite finding trouble throughout the run, Worm Burner pushed his way between runners to claim his 43rd career victory and take his career prize money beyond $350,000. Shima Song is a Black bitch whelped May 2014 by Dyna Tron from Shimaguni (Primo Uno x Messines). Shima Song is raced by David Gleeson & Bob Cummings and trained by Andrea Dailly at Corio in Victoria. She has raced 66 times for 28 wins and 21 placings. After adding the $40,000 first prize for the McKenna her stake earnings stand at $288,475.
Shima Song’s finest race track performance is also her last with connections immediately announcing her retirement following her brilliant all of the way victory in last Thursday night’s group 2 McKenna Memorial. Race favourite and five-time group 1 winner Fanta Bale began beautifully from box three however Shima Song ($8.10), drawn ideally in box 1, took full advantage of her rails draw to push through and lead through the first turn. The pair was joined by Bella Shima as they cleared away from the chasing pack down the back straight. Positions remined unchanged as they charged through the driving rain, but as they turned for home Shima Song rolled off the fence and Fanta Bale switched to the rails. It set up a thrilling run to the line with Bella Shima chiming in down the middle of the track but Shima Song refused to buckle and held on record a memorable victory. Just a length separating the placegetters as they crossed the line. “She’s the nicest girl, you couldn’t get a better dog,” said handler George Dailly. “She always tries hard and to hold off a dog like Fanta Bale is a huge effort.” The win was Shima Song’s 28th in 66 career starts and the $40,000 first prize catapulted her career earnings to $288,475. She has also been placed on 21 occasions throughout her remarkably consistent career which began more than 18 months ago, the last 12 months of More about the McKenna Memorial, and the man it which have seen her racing exclusively in top grade. was named after, on page 29. Dailly believes that consistency is testament to her outstanding attitude and will to work.

AGRA News The history of the McKenna Memorial The McKenna Memorial was first run in 1971 and acknowledges the contribution to the Sandown Club by legendary administrator Jack McKenna. McKenna came to Sandown and took the job of Club secretary in the 1940’s from Tatura in central Victoria. He had held the position of secretary of the Tatura Plumpton Coursing Club and he made a major impact after arriving in the city. He was instrumental in the club’s advancement in many ways but importantly its move across the railway line and the purchase of the land of the current site. McKenna’s ability as an administrator is still to this day talked about in revenant terms and the sport and particularly Sandown will always be in his debt. The honour roll listed below of past winners is a classy one it starts with National Distance Champ Saki Dasher trained by Aussie Rules superstar Bob Pratt and includes recent winners, another superstar Xylia Allen, 2015 winner Lady Toy and last year’s winner Bruce Tycoon.

About Jack McKenna Years involved in industry: 60 NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS: Tatura Coursing Club Secretary 16 years Sandown Greyhound racing Club secretary 35 years Negotiated purchase of land on which the Sandown GRC exists today.
When greyhound people hear the name ‘McKenna’ they think of the Sandown Greyhound Racing Club’s prestigious Group 2 distance event, the McKenna Memorial. However, precious few these days know a lot about the man after which the race is named, the great John McKenna, who was a big advocate for distance racing in his heyday. Born in 1901, McKenna was a country boy turned staunch Sandown GRC administrator who was not only a hero of the Sandown club, but in the community at large. An outstanding country footballer who captained Tatura as a feared ruckman. McKenna’s leadership qualities were apparent throughout his entire lifetime. His involvement in the administration of greyhound racing began when he was only 18 as Secretary of the Tatura Coursing Club, a position he held until he was 34 when he moved to Melbourne. It was at this point, in 1935, that he was appointed the Secretary of the Sandown GRC, and he stayed in that role until 1970. The Sandown club experienced some interesting times during McKenna’s reign, particularly in the 1950s when the club was confronted with some major issues. One of those included the club’s move from its current location to a site on the other side of the nearby railway line. Also, Sandown was abolished as a proprietary club in 1955 only to get a new license under the sport’s controlling body, the National Coursing Association [NCA] in 1956. A few years later, in 1959, an infamous split occurred between Sandown and the NCA which created significant turbulence. McKenna was a devoted family man who had four children, and his wife Anne also spent many years involved with Sandown and was an icon at the race club in her own right. Not only was McKenna a great provider for his family during difficult economic times, but he also helped many others. “He was a fantastic humanitarian and had a very strong association with St. Josephs Catholic Church in Springvale. He was like the godfather of the Springvale community”, said McKenna’s grandson Mark O’Brien. His role at Sandown included being the club’s Grader. In his time as an administrator, McKenna was determined that Sandown would provide the best standard of racing in the state, if not the nation.

An occasional series featuring members of the AGRA Hall Of Fame. Rod Deakin
At the peak of his greyhound breeding powers he had more than 100 greyhounds on the complex. Deakin considered greyhound breeding an art and a science. His breeding philosophy was to select his best race-performed brood matron and breed with her before she turned two years of age. He would then repeat the process a few more times from that dam line, with a futuristic theory of producing pups around eight years ahead of their time. "It is no good breeding from an ordinary performed sire and dam and hoping for the progeny to be six to eight lengths better than the parents as this just doesn't happen," Deakin once said. From the 1960s through to the 1980s in particular, Deakin bred, reared or raced a myriad of top class greyhounds including Plunder Road, Corcoran, Landena, Fawn Scout, Jefferson, Citizen Band, Tegimi, Sargood, Wonoka, Crete, Titus, Incus, Varley, Bolta's Gift, Plunderola, Balkan Chief, World Acclaim, Rod’s Advice, Supplier, Tesoro Mio and Stetson. A major player during the sport's golden era, Deakin also had an eye for business and let it be known to all and sundry that "every dog on his property was for sale". "He sold a lot of good dogs. I think he sold Plunder Road and Corcoran to US interests for $10,000 and $20,000 respectively," said his son, Ross of Narre Warren. "But I wouldn't let him sell Tegimi; he was one of my favourites." Ross added that his father was "bored" after selling his Keysborough property in the early 1980s and "put his hand up" for an administration/ grader position in Macau. "They were just starting up, and his knowledge and experience was invaluable. He stayed there for around five years," he said. Deakin bred a veritable production line of champions including the winners of four National Distance Championships, two Sandown Cups, five age classics, five coursing classics, and a Hobart Thousand. He also divided the 1972 Victorian Derby with
