Superstar sprinter Koblenz was bred to win the Group 1 TAB Melbourne Cup and after surviving a drama-charged dead-heat to qualify for the world’s greatest greyhound race, the blueblood looms as the main danger to favourite Aston Rupee in Friday night’s $762,500 final. Aston Rupee (Box 4), trained by Glenn Rounds, who teamed with late partner Judy Hayley to win the Melbourne Cup in 2001 with Classic Capri, heads TAB betting at $2.40, with Koblenz (Box 3) the $3.10 second elect. Koblenz, a son of champion 2015 Melbourne Cup runner-up…

Superstar Aston Rupee has been taking the greyhound world by storm. He recently won the G1 Topgun and followed up with the G3 Shootout. He’s also favourite for the G1 TAB Melbourne Cup on Friday night. But little sister Aston Flame is having her own ‘moment in the sun’. Trained at Longlea by Ian Garland, Aston Flame ($1.30F) had her own ‘21.30 seconds of fame’, establishing a new Shepparton 385m track record with a scorching 8.6L win. She eclipsed the previous mark of 21.31sec, set by Ferdinand Boy on July…

Sandown GRC CEO Adrian Scott said the Melbourne Cup sweep has created huge interest in the broader community. “Part of…

The world’s fastest greyhound, Group 1 TAB Melbourne Cup favourite Aston Rupee, is only one step away from fulfilling a brave prediction from leviathan owner/breeder Ray Borda. “When Ray asked me to train Aston Rupee he said this to me, ‘I’m giving you my next Melbourne Cup winner’,” trainer Glenn Rounds revealed. “That’s what Ray said when Aston Rupee was about 16 months old.” Borda raced 2017 Melbourne Cup hero Aston Dee Bee, which was trained by Seona Thompson, with Rounds ironically preparing runner-up Chasin’ Crackers. Aston Dee Bee’s litter…
