Bulldogs’ supporters will be ‘drooling’ over this AFL/Greys offer from TAB. The betting giant’s cross-sports proposition is $6.00 for the ‘Doggies’ to lose by 15pts or less – or even win – against the Power in Preliminary Final 2 and ‘ultimate professional’ Tiggerlong Tonk to win the G2 SEN Track Healesville Cup final (350m). Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs met in Round 23, with victory going to the ‘Croweaters’ by 2pts. And Port Adelaide went straight into a preliminary final courtesy of dishing out a 43pt hiding to Geelong…

Demons & Ruby are ‘gems’!
TAB has created a ‘sparkling’ AFL/Greys offer that should have Melbourne fans hearts beating true. The betting behemoth has put up $3.50 for the Demons to defeat the Cats on Friday night and distance queen Mepunga Ruby to reign supreme at The Meadows on Saturday night. The Dees clawed back a third quarter 44pt deficit to upset the Cats with a last-kick win in Round 23 and claim the ‘minor premiership’. And they booked a spot in Preliminary Final 1 with a 33pt win over the Brisbane Lions in the…
Daily Mail: Can ‘Rocket’ sink ‘Sub’?
Can a ‘Rocket’ sink a ‘Sub’? Or will an ‘Angel’ be in seventh heaven? That’s the conundrum for punters as three provincial stars contest a Hugh Emmerson Memorial heat – Race 5, 8.28pm – at Geelong tonight. The Watchdog’s Must-Watch race between Rocket Boy (29 from 56 – 3 of past 4) v Carry On Angel (17 from 56 – 5 of past 8) v Russian Sub (11 from 43) is a real poser! The expert form analyst favours Rocket Boy, who is 5 from 7 Box 3. However, Carry…
Cousin to ‘Jonah’ Ferdinand’s Cup bid
Superstar sprinter Aston Rupee underlined his claim to the mantle of Australia’s fastest greyhound when winning back-to-back Group 3 Speed Star match race series on Wednesday night at The Meadows. Trained by Glenn Rounds, Aston Rupee won the G3 Bill Collins Memorial Speed Star (515m) at Sandown Park on June 2, clocking a near-record 29.06sec. On a cold and at times windy night, not conducive to the flying times usually associated with the Speed Star concept, the well-bred son of KC And All and Aston Miley was $1.60 favourite to…
Ferdinand Boy eyes country cups ‘bonus’ at Healesville
Country cups ‘king’ Ferdinand Boy is chasing a monster $100,000 payday in Sunday’s $71,250 Group 2 SEN Track Healesville Cup final (350m). Trained by David Geall, Ferdinand Boy (Box 5) is not only eyeing off the $50,000 Cup winner’s purse, but will also receive a $50,000 bonus offered by GRV for winning three provincial cups in a calendar year, courtesy of victories at Ballarat and Shepparton. Ironically, one of Ferdinand Boy’s major rivals is kennelmate and close relation Hill Top Jonah (Box 1), last Sunday’s fastest heat winner. Click HERE …
Britton rates Ruby his ‘Top Cat’
Boasting two leading contenders in Saturday’s Group 3 Top Cat Video Cup final (725m) at The Meadows, Jeff Britton has labelled rising star Mepunga Ruby as his best chance, ahead of multiple feature race winner Hank The Hustler. TAB agrees with Britton’s assessment, marking Mepunga Ruby (Box 1) as $2.30 favourite ahead of Hank The Hustler (Box 4) at $4. Mepunga Ruby’s recent form over middle and staying distances is almost impossible to fault, with the daughter of Fernando Bale and Mepunga Rosie winning 10 of her last 13 starts,…
Daily Mail: ‘Rupee’ is a gilt-edged sprint ‘diamond’
Aston Rupee is arguably Australia’s No. 1 sprinter – a greyhound who has added ‘sparkle’ to the sport. He’s a bona fide ‘speed star’ if you’ll excuse the pun. However, the dual G3 Speed Star winner, who has won 4 of his past 7, will need to display all of his polish at Sandown today. Nikoli Bale (10 from 30 – 3 of past 4) v Aston Rupee (13 from 25 – 4 from 9 Trk/Dst) v Lakeview Walter (9 from 21 – 5 from 8 Trk/Dst) will be a…
150 starts – why, what an achievement!
Not a lot people get to celebrate their greyhound contesting 150 starts. However, last Monday at Cranbourne, Why Not Kez (Fernando Bale x Why Not Bev) contested start number 150 over the 311m short course for owner, Gail Carter, and her son, Devon Meadows-based trainer, Leigh Carter (pictured with Why Not Kez above). And, at five and half years of age, and sporting the green number six rug in her sesquicentennial race, Why Not Kez came out all guns blazing and speared straight to the early lead. Despite surrendering front…

Daily Mail: Koblenz to bounce back at Cranbourne
After five straight defeats, sprint sensation Koblenz (17 from 29 – 3 from 3 Box 1) should return to the winners list in style when he headlines Wednesday’s Cranbourne card. David Geall’s superbly-bred speed machine created headlines with a dazzling 11-race winning streak but has filled minor placings in his last five starts, albeit in elite company against the likes of Aston Rupee, Aston Fastnet and Mr. Fix It. While Koblenz is yet to salute in two visits to Cranbourne during the G3 Classic series, The Watchdog is expecting him…
