Daily Mail: Rivalry reignited
Two greyhounds that so often fly under the radar are part of the main event at Shepparton tonight. Man Absconded could easily be considered one of the lesser lights from the powerful Delbridge kennel, but with 20 wins from just 55 starts he is a genuine star. Tonight he faces off against Bulleteer, a son of G1 Sapphire Crown winner Maja Mahi Mahi, boasts brilliant mid-race speed. Trained by Darren Fisher, Bulleteer has amassed 17 wins from 41 starts and, aside from making the Ballarat Cup final in April, he…
Scott-Smith applies ‘coursing formula’ at Benalla
Pakenham South stalwart Geoffrey Scott-Smith, 73, heads to Benalla’s Victorian Derby and Victorian Oaks coursing qualifiers tomorrow with a six-strong ‘puppy’ contingent – all out of an Oct ’19 Barts OutOfMyWay x Dundee Calypso mating. Scott-Smith has four entrants in the Derby series (Dundee Trigger, Dundee Raider, Dundee Reactor and Dundee Twister) and two hopefuls in the Oaks series (Dundee Cotton and Dundee Velvet). “It will be a day out for them – a bit of competition. They’re a little bit young for the ‘circle’,” he said. “I’ve started a…
DM: Chilling contest awaits
A couple of big features at Cranbourne headlined by the $29K Trios Winter Cup Final, in which Immunity (14 from 19) and Hill Top Jack (11 from 23) were the fastest heat winners but will need things to go their way. Check out tonight’s Immunity/Saints AFL Greys offer Superstar Kuro Kismet (G3 Launching Pad), a reserve in the Winter Cup, will take a power of beating in the $16K Special Event on the same card. Read more Qwara Bale (G1 Sapphire Crown) and Christo Bale (6-time G1 finalist) are among…
Greyhound gems secure remaining spots in Pink Diamond Finals
With 48 preliminaries were held today at Shepparton and Geelong, and yesterday and Warragul and Ballarat, and the scene is now set for 12 cracking finals at Bendigo on Friday 18 June. The top two placegetters in all 48 races have made it through to what will be the richest night of provincial greyhound racing in Victoria’s history, including three races worth $75,000 to the winner. Catch The Thief showed why he was one of tonight’s headline acts at Geelong with a brilliant performance to run down the in-form Hazey…
‘Immunity’ for Saints
St Kilda supporters will be hoping the Saints are ‘resistant’ to the Adelaide Crows and the aptly named Immunity wins on Saturday night. TAB has gone marching in with a $5.00 cross-sports offer for the Saints to wear a halo against the Crows and Immunity to counteract her rivals in the Trios Winter Cup final (520m) at Cranbourne. St Kilda is 12th and the Adelaide Crows 15th on the AFL ladder leading into their Round 13 encounter. Meanwhile, Immunity is TAB’s $2.20 favourite in the $20,535 to-the-winner event. Trained by…
Persian Goddess a winter beauty
The excellent recent form of Persian Goddess, a finalist in Saturday night’s Trios Winter Cup (520m) at Cranbourne, has come at a perfect time for young Yinnar South trainer Ben Joske. In winning nine of her 18 starts and qualifying for the G1 Sapphire Crown final last month, Persian Goddess, which is a $15 outsider in TAB’s Winter Cup market despite a dominant heat victory, has helped put the 37-year-old on the map. Joske’s rapidly growing resume will look even more impressive if Persian Goddess, a daughter of Aston Dee…
Draw won’t boost Immunity: The Watchdog
Expert form analyst The Watchdog says Immunity deserves favouritism for Saturday night’s Trio’s Winter Cup Final at Cranbourne but believes the $2.20 being offered by TAB is “under the odds”. Immunity, trained by champion local mentor Jason Thompson and a half-sister to his former superstar Black Opium, is the fastest qualifier for the Winter Cup after a 30.05sec heat victory at her Cranbourne debut. But that came from Immunity’s preferred draw in eight, from where she has a perfect four from four record, and The Watchdog feels the move to…
Kismet ready to launch at Cranbourne
Matt Clark is optimistic that if first reserve Kuro Kismet sneaks into the field for Saturday night’s Trios Winter Cup final (520m) at Cranbourne, this year’s G3 Launching Pad winner will be a serious threat. Clark’s opinion is backed up by TAB’s market, where Kuro Kismet is the $3.20 second elect behind $2.20 favourite Immunity, despite requiring a scratching to gain a start. But if Kuro Kismet, the winner of nine from 27, doesn’t gain a late call-up, Clark has an attractive ‘Plan B’ in the CGRC Special Event, worth…
Cheer, cheer ‘Thief’ and ‘Paps’
TAB has come up with an AFL/Greys offer that will ‘shake down the thunder from the sky’ for Sydney Swans supporters. The betting giant’s $3.40 proposition is for Swans’ elusive forward Tom Papley to kick 2+ goals against the Hawks tonight and equally elusive sprinter Catch The Thief to win at Geelong. The Sydney Swans are 6th on the AFL ladder with eight wins and Hawthorn 17th with two wins. Papley, who has played 12 games this season, has kicked 21 goals (averaging 1.7 goals per match). Meanwhile, the Jason…
