Superstar Aston Rupee confirmed his status as the world’s fastest greyhound when packing too much ‘firepower’ for his rivals in the Group 3 Shootout (515m) at Sandown Park on Thursday night. Trained by Glenn Rounds for prominent owner/breeder Ray Borda, Aston Rupee is now on target to become only the second greyhound after legendary sprinter/sire Bombastic Shiraz in 2003 to win the ‘Triple Crown’, consisting of the Topgun, Shootout and Melbourne Cup. “It’s alive,” Rounds told Sandown’s Jason Adams post race. “He’s won two of them, so it’s alive. Next…

Young Dennington trainer Aimee Drew, 33, will be riding an emotional rollercoaster at Warrnambool tonight. It’s difficult for Aimee to contain excitement about her first start as a trainer with Aston Malle (Dec ’19 Aston Kimetto x Aston Jadore), who is also making her debut. But she’ll also walk to the boxes with a heavy heart due to the loss of her father – and life mentor – Ray last month. The highly respected Warrnambool greyhound racing identity sadly passed away after a 10-month battle with liver cancer, aged 73.…

Saturday night’s G1 Topgun winner Aston Rupee is the headline act in tonight’s $25,000 winner-take-all G3 Shootout at Sandown Park. However, The Watchdog believes dual G1 champion Tiggerlong Tonk – runner-up in the Topgun – can win consecutive Shootouts. The unbeaten Wow She’s Fast, Aston Fastnet, Koblenz and Fernando Bluey feature in the final round of Melbourne Cup preludes, while G1 Topgun Stayers winner Gypsy Wyong is also in action this evening.

With Group 1 Topgun hero Aston Rupee dominating betting in the always intriguing G3 Shootout (515m) at Sandown Park this Thursday night, form analyst The Watchdog believes Topgun runner-up Tiggerlong Tonk is the value runner in the four-sprinter showdown. Aston Rupee (Box 3) is $1.40 in TAB’s market after electrifying victories at his past two starts at Sandown Park (28.89sec) and The Meadows (29.66sec), and The Watchdog isn’t arguing with the prohibitive quote. “The key factor is that he ran 5 ‘flat’ at Sandown Park and 5.02 in the Topgun,…

Let’s all walk 10 paces and draw a huge breath… This is going to be bigger than the Gunfight at the OK Corral. So, who will show True Grit in the $25,000 winner-takes-all Group 3 Shootout (515m) – Race 4, 8.07pm – at Sandown Park on Thursday night? Prepared at Devon Meadows by Glenn Rounds, Aston Rupee (Box 3) is the sport’s sharpshooter. But will he be fastest to the draw in a four-dog face-off that would have Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday itching at their holsters? Rated Australia’s No.…

Despite the appearance of G1 Sandown Cup champion Zipping Rambo (19 from 43 – 34.16sec PB), The Watchdog is tipping G2 placegetter Jarick Bale in today’s Mixed 3/4 600m race at The Meadows. G2 runner-up Twisted Reality and last start winner Aces Are Trumps are considered the biggest threats to the Mark Delbridge-trained kennelmates. The Horizon finalist Whistling Bullet (2 of last 4) v Aston Harlow v G2 finalist Zipping Vernon and Vardan Bale v Flying Lantern v Gracie Bale v Dynamic Prince (5 from 9) should be great battles.…

Anthony Azzopardi doesn’t have any expectations heading into Thursday night’s Group 3 Shootout (515m) at Sandown Park, where his brilliant speedster McCooly’s Lad will continue his remarkable return from injury. But if McCooly’s Lad, which is $6.50 in TAB’s market on the four-sprinter feature, can upset last start G1 Topgun hero Aston Rupee, the raging $1.40 favourite, it won’t be the first time he’s surprised Azzopardi. A year ago when McCooly’s Lad suffered a career-threatening hock injury, vying for the title of the fastest greyhound in the country and preparing…

Even though Limiting (2 from 4 Trk/Dst – 25.35sec PB) has not raced for three months, The Watchdog is confident that this greyhound will resume in victorious fashion in a Grade 5 460m race at Warragul tonight. Ivy Isobel v My Faith (4 of last 7) v G3 finalist Security Man (4 from 5 Trk/Dst – 22.27sec PB) should be a terrific 400m Free For All, while Isolating (9 from 18 – 2 from 2 Trk/Dst) faces Dundee Hornet (2 from 3 Box 2), Nera Enough and Scorching Sun (2…
