Participants reminded of race day animal welfare obligations Victorian participants should make themselves aware of updated hot weather and transport policies which outline their animal welfare responsibilities on race days and trial days. GRV General Manager – Animal Welfare Dr Gavin Goble said the updated hot weather and transport policies were developed after a significant period of engagement and input from participants across Victoria and had the support of the Welfare Committee and the Industry Consultative Group. “These policies are part of our sport’s commitment to making animal welfare our number one priority and all participants need to understand and fully adhere to them,” Dr Goble said. GRV will declare a venue “Hot Weather Affected” if the forecast temperature is 32C or higher and certain conditions will apply for that meeting and for travel on that day. If the forecast temperature is 38oC or above, the meeting will be postponed or cancelled. Kennel blocks at all Victorian greyhound racetracks are air conditioned and the ambient temperature in the blocks are maintained between 18oC and 24oC. Stewards may abandon or postpone the meeting if the temperature in kennel blocks reaches 26oC and cannot be reduced promptly. Dr Goble said GRV’s transport policy had also been updated after consultation with stakeholders including owners, trainers as well as GRV’s Welfare Committee and Industry Consultative Group. “All owners and trainers need to make sure that their greyhounds arrive at meetings in the best possible condition,” Dr Goble said. “To ensure that occurs, GRV has updated its transport policy soon “Hot Weather Affected” days when greyhounds can only be transported in air-conditioned trailers and transport vehicles. “In addition, on “Hot Weather Affected” days, rest stops must be made every two hours and dogs must not be left unattended for more than five minutes.” Participants are also reminded that greyhounds should have access to water on all race days regardless of weather or temperature. “If a participant wants to give their dog a drink immediately after retrieval from the race kennel (20 minutes before their race) they can do so under steward supervision,” Dr Goble said. The new policies will officially come into effect on December 12. Further information can be found at http://greyhoundcare.grv.org.au/policies-and-guidance/

TALKING BREEDING Continued……
Shifty Litter NEXT we have a nice litter of eight pups, registered by Woy Woy breeder Anthony McVicker, by the beautifully bred, under-rated stud prospect, Shifty Sticka (December 2011 Premier Fantasy* x Irish Malt). The two dogs and six bitches in the litter are from the very well bred bitch, Francine (April 2012 Collision x First Star), whose dam is by Brett Lee x Sutro Star (Token Prince x Ready To Rain). With six bitches in the litter I would imagine there will be plenty of interest from potential buyers with future breeding in mind. Francine was the only pup named from her litter, with her dam, First Star having 18 other named offspring on file from three other litters, whelped in September 2010 by Elite State, June 2011 by Bit Chili and January 2013 by Big Daddy Cool. On the track, Francine raced 26 times for 11 wins and five placings, winning five times over 400 metres at Gosford (22.94), three times over 515 metres at The Gardens (30.06) and three times over 400 metres at Maitland (22.62). Looking through her form line, it is worth noting she was placed in three of her five starts over 520 metres at Wentworth Park.
Shifty Sticka Shifty Sticka was lightly raced, due to injury, with his 23 starts producing 12 wins and nine placings. He was a finalist in the 2013 Group 1 Melbourne and quickly became a favourite in Melbourne with his brilliant wins over 515 metres at Sandown (29.49, 29.53, 29.65) and 525 metres at The Meadows (29.85, 29.98).
Three pups in Windy* litter UNFORTUNATELY just three pups in our final litter for review, registered by Firefly breeder Leonard Absalom, by Windy Millar* (August 2006 Honcho Classic x Any Time Soon). -9-
The two dogs and one bitch in the litter, are from the very well bred bitch, Hipster Keenie (February 2011 Mogambo x Surf Attack), whose dam is by Surf Lorian x Heart Spark (Dagenham x Flaming Fool). She is from her dam’s only litter, of four named, which included Blackie’s Best, Hotshot Blaster and Wave Rider. On the track she raced 66 times for eight wins and twelve placings, winning three times over 480 metres at Grafton (27.49), where she also won twice over 407 metres (23.03) and once over 305 metres (17.65), with single wins over 392 metres at Taree (22.38) and 400 metres at The Gardens (22.81).
South Australian Whelping Report ONLY one litter on the South Australian Whelping Report for the month of August. The litter has nine pups, registered by Victor Harbor breeder, Joan Schadow, by 2010 Melbourne Cup winner, now successful sire, El Grand Senor (April 2008 Where’s Pedro x Elgrando Gold), sire of last week’s Melbourne Cup winner, Ando’s Mac (June 2014 x Brook’s Doll). The six dogs and three bitches in Joan’s litter are from the well bred bitch, Victa Victoria (August 2010 Surf Lorian x Teelah), whose dam is by Primo Uno x Corrumbene Lass (Prince Of Tigers x Moonambel Liz). She is from a litter which included Victa Dora, Victa Explorer and Victa Sam, with their dam also having winners on file from her litter of eight named, two litters by Where’s Pedro, whelped in July 2009 and April 2011, so the bloodline of this litter is already proven.

However to win a TAB Melbourne Cup was the fulfillment of a live long dream. “All trainers aspire to win this race, it’s the greatest race on the calendar. I don’t think deep down that you ever think you can do it. I’ve had some really good dogs over the years – greyhounds of the year and track record holders – and they’ve not stacked up because the competition is way superior here than to anywhere else.

Ramifications ($3.40) ran an honest race to finish third, but all honours were with the winner which clocked a slick 41.89 over the gruelling half-mile trip. “She drew well, we had a bit of luck last week in the heat and got through and the two gave her a bit of room, pushed up, led and she was just too strong,” said an elated Wayne Vassallo after the race. “Probably half way down the back I thought she is just going to keep kicking. “She just kept battling away and they just couldn’t get to her.” The fawn stayer (pictured with trainer Wayne Vassallo’s partner Karen Pitt and their son Toby) has now won 17 of her 46 career starts, including her last three in a row, while Friday’s winner’s cheque took her career earnings to a sizeable $133,864.

TAB Melbourne Cup night was another tremendous success for the club, with a large crowd in attendance witnessing a memorable night of greyhound racing. A bold move by the club to shift the Cup from the traditional Thursday night to a Friday in 2014 and continued to the entire three-week carnival last year and this year it has proved the bonus it promised. The big crowd helped the Club continue to top records for T AB turnover at greyhound meetings. The large crowd was a fitting reward for the hard-working administration, catering, and track staff at Sandown. The Sandown team led by CEO Greg Miller introduced several changes to how Cup night is run and promoted over the last few years and the results have been stunning. The big crowd enjoyed a wonderful night of excitement and atmosphere plus a host of entertainment and action. They got what was promised to be entertained.

Last Race At Tweed Heads Confirmed
The Board of the Tweed Heads Coursing Club has confirmed to Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) that the last race at Tweed Heads ('Border Park') greyhound track will take place on Saturday, December 3. The confirmation of the last meeting comes after the club sold the land and racetrack at Border Park. The club has advised GRNSW that it would like to ensure funds of the sale of the land remain invested in NSW greyhound racing, by potentially relocating the club to an alternative location in the Northern Rivers region. GRNSW plans to meet with the club’s board next week to discuss the relocation proposal further as well to discuss avenues to maintain Non-tab racing in the Northern Rivers region for the first half of 2017. GRNSW will provide more information to stakeholders when it becomes available.

This week’s nostalgia takes us back to a 78 page booklet I produced in 1996, to mark 21 years of the Victorian Metropolitan Sires List. Those lists were the only data available on sires and brood bitches at that time and were published monthly in Greyhound Weekly, and the then GRCB magazine, The Adviser. Not having any information on sires lists prior to 1976, I put out a call for any readers with any details to contact me. The result was a call from the late Marie Schofield, wife of the legendary greyhound identity, George Schofield, who offered to send me some information from her collection of old records. George and Marie had Shan’s View and it was through the material she sent me I was able to establish the fact than Shan’s View was leading Victorian metropolitan sire for the four year period from 1963-66. Marie believed that it was in 1964 that he topped the list with 220 wins, a record only equaled by the great Temlee in 1979, and of course it should be remembered, Temlee had a lot more pups running around when he equaled the record, than Shan’s View did in his time. Unfortunately Marie had no other information from that year. Marie’s figures for 1972 were the same as 1971, so we were left with no sires list for 1971, and were unable to find any record of 1974 either. It is feared this information has been lost for all time. Former South Australian, Colin Lyons, who was living in Harcourt at the time, provided a newspaper clipping that gave us the 1973. Throughout the booklet, under the sections devoted to the Victorian Metropolitan Sires List, we had the pedigree of each leading sire from 1965 to 1996. Pedigrees are so easy to access this year, via the internet, but in those days it was the trusty ANZGA Stud Book that was the breeder’s bible. The booklet also featured the main winners for each top metropolitan sire over the 21 years. We will be running these lists regularly over the
next few months, as we look back over 40 years of the history of the Victorian breeding industry.

The information originally published in the booklet Victorian Metropolitan Breeding Statistics - 21 years 1976 - 1996 had the same figures for 1971 and 1972 and it is not known which year they related to. This meant there was no information available for the other year.
