The History of the Silver Chief Classic The AJS Corporation Silver Chief Classic is certainly one out of the box and is sure to produce yet another champion who will go on to great heights; as have previous winners.

Thirty Talks draws box one in $145,000 Silver Chief Final

By George Farrugia Queensland chaser Thirty Talks will be aiming to win the fourth Group race of his career – and second at Group 1 level – after drawing box one in Sunday night’s $145,000 AJS Corporation Silver Chief (525m) at The Meadows.

The son of Where’s Pedro and Unfinished showcased his outstanding will to win with a last stride victory in the last of the four semi finals, overcoming a wide draw and interference in running to score in 30.07. The brindle chaser has won his last three starts when beginning from box one, and will be the greyhound to beat in the first Group 1 final of 2017.

Victory would push prizemoney to almost $400,000.

The Tony Brett-trained chaser will face off against some greyhounds in scintillating form, including Lightning Frank, who lived up to his name with a devastating, Best of Night 29.66 semi-final effort.

The son of Black Magic Opal and Kirabilli Abbie set up the win with splits of 5.10 and a flying 17.54 and, just like in his heat win, will have to overcome box five in Saturday’ final.

Powerhouse sprinter Reefton Treasure was the second fastest semi winner, sitting behind early leader Duty Free before bolting away to score in 29.80.

The son of Turanza Bale and Pindari Bale will have to overcome box seven in the final, with most of his recent wins coming when drawn closer to the fence.

Matt Machine (box four) has qualified for his second Group 1 after a gutsy 30.04 victory in the first of the semi finals. The son of SH Avatar and Love To Rock finished seventh in last year’s Melbourne Cup final.

The Great Silver Chief after winning 1939 Waterloo Cup The Classic is one steeped in tradition, first being run in 1964. Directors of the Melbourne Greyhound Racing association saw fit to name The Classic after the greyhound “Silver Chief” who was whelped in 1936 and owned by Ray Herbert. Silver Chief was a “Waterloo Cup” winner in 1939 and performed admirably on the speed coursing circuit as well. He raced in both Melbourne and Sydney and was keenly sought after for stud duties once his racing career was finished.

The cream of racing have won this event referred to as the Derby of Greyhound Racing.

Champions such as Plunder Road, Black Diro, Satan's Legend, Tempix, Chariot Supreme, Ginger, Light of Fire and Awesome Assassin to name a few. Many have gone on to produce sons who have also won the Classic.

The mighty Tempix won in 1978 then produced sons who won in (81) Tempix Image and Bold Assail in 1982.

Australian super sire Chariot Supreme won the race in record time in 1983. His progeny took out the honours in 1986 (Hopeful Supreme), 1989 (Autumn Chariot) and 1991 (Bomber Gleeson).

In recent years Light of Fire won in 1994 then produced greats such as Awesome Assassin and Kantarn Bale.

Awesome Assassin went on to sire 2005 winner Ben’s Fury.

Leading Sire Primo Uno sired the 2009 & 2010 two winners Fedex and Enry Walt.

In 2012 leading Victorian trainer Jason Thompson made it five winners of the time honoured event when outsider Godsend started an extraordinary year for the Peacedale based mentor. He trained the winners of eleven Group races and over 1.1 million dollars in prizemoney. His Silver Chief record is a long way in front any other trainer in the history of the race.

Only two champions have won the Silver Chief – Melbourne Cup double Light of Fire in 1994 and Kantarn Bale in 1999.

IRELAND – ENGLAND SIRES LIST 2016

REMOTE CONTROL COURSING LURE TRAX 4WD modified, Soft fat tyres, sound attracter, toy tow bar, 100kph

Droopys Scholari* Droopy’s Scholari (April 2003 Droopys Kewell x Little Diamond UK), whose dam is by Spiral Nikita X Camelot Katie, was the top sire on the combined English/Irish sires list for 2016.

According to sire ratings issued by greyhounddata.com, he finished the year with 630 points, well clear of Kinloch Brae who had 487.50 points and Australian bred, Ace Hi Rumble with 248.50 points.

The greyhound-data.com ratings are calculated by performances by greyhounds in top grade races only and have long been the standard for international reporting.

Droopys Scholari has an amazing 5,171 named offspring on file at the time of writing and he has had some success here over recent years with very limited opportunities.

Note the success of Australian bred sires, and their offspring through the list.

Next week we will have the 2016 US sires list.

This car is not a small cheapie, the car is TRAX 4WD Truck, however Graham Moscow from Greyhound Gear calls it car.

The car must be safe and big enough so pups can't drag off to the dam.

Theory is to course pups three to six months in a pack, a maximum of four to five times.

Elite State lodge have coursed five litters this year and found this method works 100% Pups that chased in pack were all easy break ins.

Wheeler kennels purchased a car and Brendan Wheeler said he was very happy with it.

Longwood trainer Michael Barry has just ordered a car and Greyhound Gear are currently modifying it for him.

Graham has a video of pups chasing the car, which he will email the link to, if you contact him.

I have had a look at the video and it won’t take long to convince you what a fantastic product this is, and just how keenly the pups chase after it.

Looks certain to be a valuable tool for breeders to educate their young pups with, and from the look of it, it will make the breakers job much easier when the pups go to him, or if you are breaking your own pups in.

Why not give Graham a call and have a chat with him about this amazing product.

He can then answer any of your question, discuss pricing options, delivery time etc.
