Arguably Victoria’s hottest greyhound sprinter right now, Ferdinand Boy has been described by The Watchdog has possessing ‘unrivalled mid-race speed’. Tonight David Geall’s emerging superstar drops back to Horsham 410m distance, a journey he has contested on six occasions for four wins. Time will tell if he can add a second track record to his name by lowering Oriental Amber’s 22.641sec time standard? FERDINAND BOY David Geall…

A number of exciting prospects loom as genuine winning chances in today’s Super VicGreys Final (450m) at Ballarat at 5.22pm. The series is open to greyhounds with 3-6 wins, with the David Geall and Norm McCullagh kennels to have a big say in the race with each having two of the main contenders.

Two exciting crusaders will renew acquaintances at Sandown Park this afternoon in a battle that could go right down to the wire. Gotham Duke got the better of Barooga Dodge in the recent Horsham Cup Consolation when the latter encountered significant interference. While Gotham Duke (Mel Lithgow) boasts 16 wins from 37 starts and a cracking Sandown Park PB of 29.23sec, Barooga Dodge (Brett Nye) has won three of his past six starts and finished first or second in 10 straight runs prior to his last start defeat.

Versatile big gun Christo Bale looms ominous as reappears to middle-distance ranks this evening. But will he return to the winner’s list? Since running 4th to Tommy Shelby in last month’s G1 Australian Cup (525m), Mark Debridge’s megastar has raced three times for three luckless minor placings, all over 525m at The Meadows. Tonight he steps back up to 600m, which should see him back in the winner’s circle for the first time since snaring his Australian Cup heat, but he’ll need to be at his brilliant best to topple…

Wily veteran Speed Star takes on the might of Equalizer in a fascinating race at Geelong tonight. It could be built as the old stager versus the emerging star, or even the lightning beginner versus the powerful finisher. Either way it will be must-watch viewing, and with The Watchdog returning a 25% profit over the past seven days it may well be worth reading his take on the race in today’s Daily Mail. The Watchdog was in terrific form in his regular role as a panellist on SEN Track’s ‘The Lids…

Jason Portelli trains only two dogs out of his Keilor Park backyard and they’ll do battle in Saturday night’s Shepparton To The Meadows final (525m) at The Meadows. Portelli is hoping it will be a case of ‘easy’ does it when That’s Easy and Nice And Easy gang up on $1.60 TAB favourite Run And Carry in Race 5 at 7.58pm. That’s Easy (Box 1) is the more fancied of Portelli’s pair at $4.80; however, the 29-year-old owner/trainer has a leaning towards Nice And Easy (Box 7) at $9. “Unfortunately,…
