GRV’s Peter Quilty, Gerard Guthrie and Trent Langskaill provide their thoughts on some of the star greyhounds racing in Victoria.
Keep an eye on these, they are worth saving in your WatchDog Blackbook!
Quilts Gents, what a start to the preludes of the Group 1 Sportsbet Melbourne Cup. Amron Dan and Wharfie defied their rivals with front-running displays.
Gerard El Dorado showed plenty of determination in running down Paddy Wants Pats too. The classy Aston Ulysses was also impressive in an early race on the card.
Trent The sky is the limit for Zoha Bale as well. His daring come-from-behind tactics continued in his first middle-distance start at Sandown Park last night.
Gerard Now we look ahead to this evening’s $78,795 Group 2 Bendigo Cup Final, which features dual country cup champion Typhoon Sammy.
Quilts I spoke to his trainer Jason Thompson this week and he is hoping that Typhoon Sammy spears the lids and shows his tremendous acceleration.
Trent It could be a big night for Typhoon Sammy because there’s the $50,000 first prize on offer and the $50,000 bonus for winning three country cups in this calendar year.
Gerard Typhoon Sammy is facing plenty of classy rivals though including Panadero Warrior and he was the fastest of the eight heat winners on Sunday night.
Quilts Aston Merit is currently on a three-race winning streak as well and he is hoping to break through at Group level after two minor placings.
Trent Don’t forget about Quinlan Bale. He was brilliant during the Healesville Festival of Racing with two big wins and he almost nabbed the Group 2 Healesville Cup.
Gerard The Cup Night match race should be a beauty also with Group 2 Warragul Cup winner Robbie Rotten against Group 1 Silver Chief placegetter Titan Blazer.
