The Watchdog is cock-a-hoop about the quality of the GRV Vic Bred Maiden finalists at Shepparton. But he’s singled out one in particular – Perfectly Poised, who he believes is bred to be a star. She’s been placed at her only three starts and her dam, Zara’s Entity, won a G3 Cranbourne Classic and was an Adelaide Cup finalist – both in 2017. “She likes to rail hard in her races and from a good draw, she should fire through and be in a prominent spot throughout,” The Watchdog said.…

He hasn’t been seen since finishing seventh in a Group 2 Ballarat Cup heat on December 5 last year. But The Watchdog is confident potential star Dr. Tucker, who has won nine from 16, will ‘bark the orders’ at Sale where he boasts a flying 24.73sec PB. He emerged as the ‘new kid on the block’, taking out last year’s Group 3 Great Chase and following up with a third to retired superstar Hard Style Rico in the Group 3 Silver Bullet – both at The Meadows. “When at his…

The Watchdog is leaning slightly towards Thompson’s young tyro, who has won four of his 10 starts to date. “Aston Fastnet announced himself as a potential megastar when smashing the clock at Ballarat and Sandown Park in March, and since then he turned…

Lakeview Walter continued his outstanding form with a brilliant victory in last night’s Free For All. Despite entering the night on the back of consecutive top grade victories, Lakeview Walter (box 2) was a notable drifter in the market as Music Event (box 1) halved his opening quote to jump as the odds on favourite. But it was the group 1 Silver Chief winner that that took control of the race soon after box rise. He mustered quickly to lead by a length with a lap to go and was…

Bendigo Greyhound Racing Association (BGRA) is excited to announce several changes to its feature race calendar for the upcoming racing year including a date change for the Group 2 Bendigo Cup. In 2014 the BGRA made the decision to take the Bendigo Cup away from its Easter timeslot in a bid to open up opportunities to attract the best greyhounds in racing to the flagship event and placed the Cup in July. The move was an instant success with several Easter Egg finalists making their way to Bendigo’s July Cup…
