“Next big thing” Mr. Audacious will make a bold bid for Group 2 Ballarat Cup glory on Friday night. Mr. Audacious is the dog on everyone’s lips and was the ‘talk of the town’ after an intrepid performance in last week’s heats. Prepared at Kilmany (near Sale) by Rachael Busuttil, Mr. Audacious is one of those rare greyhounds which bursts onto the scene and makes an immediate ‘world is my oyster’ impact. That was obvious on debut (January 29) over 395m at Traralgon when he scored by 7.8L and clocked…
