Centurion is all the rave

Editor BOAY

How many greyhounds reach 100 starts, let alone win at this milestone? Well, race centenarian Rave On celebrated his ‘ton’ in style with victory in a Free For All (410m) at Horsham on Tuesday. Bred, owned and trained by Jennifer Torr at Myers Flat, Rave On notched his 30th win. It was also his third win on the trot, and seventh win from 21 starts over Horsham’s 410m trip.

Tonk to turn the tables on super Simon?

Editor BOAY

There’s no tougher task in Australian greyhound racing at present than taking on Victorian superstar Simon Told Helen. But young gun trainer Correy Grenfell is bullish that Tiggerlong Tonk can turn the tables on his recent nemesis in what shapes as a mouth-watering clash between the two sprinting titans at The Meadows on Saturday night. Tiggerlong Tonk has been placed behind Simon Told Helen at his last two starts, running third in the Group 1 Harrison-Dawson and then a luckless second in a GR8 Eight event at Sandown Park last…
