TALKING BREEDING

Continued

Success in her Destiny PARILLA breeder, Karri Wilson has a nice litter of

eight pups on the South Australian list this week, by the

ill-fated stud success High Earner (May 2007 Collision

x Double Guess), who died prematurely but is still

getting litters through the wonders of modern science

and frozen semen.

The two dogs and six bitches in the litter are from

the very well bred, dual Group race winner, Oakvale

Destiny (July 2012 Vapour Whirl x Foot Luce), whose

good producing dam is by Hallucinate x Scarlett (Black

Shiraz x Hotshow Sarah) and worth recalling, Hotshow

Sarah is by Head Honcho x Hot Show Deb (New Tears

x Wee Sal).

She is from her dam’s only litter, an outstanding

litter of nine named, which included Footluce Dancer,

Footluce Diva, Johnny Guitar, Lord Vader, Miss

Footluce, and three other Group performers, Oakvale

Flyer, Sunday Shoes and Texas Titan.

On the track she raced 53 times for 17 wins and

16 placings, winning six times over 515 metres at

Sandown (29.27), four times over 515 metres at Angle

Park (29.63), three times over 520 metres at Cranbourne

(29.76) and also over 520 metres at Albion Park

(30.01), 530 metres at Cannington (30.59), 520 metres

at Geelong (30.12) and 520 metres at Wentworth Park

(30.34).

She won the Group 1 Sapphire Crown Classic, the

Group 3 South Australian Oaks and also won the

Geelong Oaks, finished second in the Group 2

Shootout, Group 2 Cranbourne Cup and Group 3 Brian

Johnstone Memorial and finished third in the Group 2

WA Oaks and Group 1 Adelaide Cup.

Her 17 wins and 16 placings earned connections

stakes totalling $279,435.

Given her outstanding pedigree and record on the

track I would imagine this litter will attract enormous

interest, especially the six bitches, with future breeding

in mind.

This week’s Greyhound of the week is:

BESSY BOO

OUTSTANDING NSW Sprinter Bessy Boo (March

2012 Bekim Bale x My Black Bess) has been retired.

After tearing a back muscle at Wentworth Park last

Friday night.

He was our Greyhound of the Week a few weeks

back when he won his 34th race at Wentworth Park,

and we thought it only fitting he should get the nod

again this week after his racing career has come to an

end.

Whelped on March 2012, he raced 158 times, for

the outstanding record of 44 wins, 27 seconds, 28

thirds, and $337,311 in prizemoney.

He is from a very handy litter which included

Bunundi, Darkest Knight, Inner City, Mamzelle Penny,

My Black Pearl, Petra and Tangier.

His versatility on the track showed with him

winning 31 races over 520 metres at Wentworth Park

(29.58), where he also won three times over 720 metres

(42.33), four times over 535 metres at Richmond

(30.61), where he also won three times over 618 metres

(35.54) and also won over 630 metres at Nowra

(36.55), 600 metres at Canberra (35.03) and 600 metres

at Gosford (24.87).

It was obvious he was going to be something

special early in his career, when he won three starts,

over 535 metres at Richmond, with three seconds in his

first seven starts.

It wasn’t long before he started his amazing

winning run over 520 metres at Wentworth Park,

where he was to go on and win another 30 times.

After three 520 metre wins at Wentworth Park,

he stepped up to win three times over 618 metres at

Richmond, then won over 720 metres at Wentworth

Park at his 30th start, then two runs later was back

winning over 520 metres (29.71 and 29.79).

He won the Group 1 Peter Mosman Classic and

made seven other group finals.

His stud career will start shortly and I hope he

gets plenty of opportunities from breeders, he should.

Thirty Talks draws box one in $145,000

Silver Chief Final By George Farrugia Queensland chaser Thirty Talks will be aiming to win

the fourth Group race of his career – and second at

Group 1 level – after drawing box one in Sunday

night’s $145,000 AJS Corporation Silver Chief (525m)

at The Meadows.

The son of Where’s Pedro and Unfinished

showcased his outstanding will to win with a last stride

victory in the last of the four semi finals, overcoming a

wide draw and interference in running to score in

30.07. The brindle chaser has won his last three starts

when beginning from box one, and will be the

greyhound to beat in the first Group 1 final of 2017.

Victory would push prizemoney to almost $400,000.

The Tony Brett-trained chaser will face off

against some greyhounds in scintillating form,

including Lightning Frank, who lived up to his name

with a devastating, Best of Night 29.66 semi-final

effort.

The son of Black Magic Opal and Kirabilli Abbie

set up the win with splits of 5.10 and a flying 17.54

and, just like in his heat win, will have to overcome

box five in Saturday’ final.

Powerhouse sprinter Reefton Treasure was the

second fastest semi winner, sitting behind early leader

Duty Free before bolting away to score in 29.80.

The son of Turanza Bale and Pindari Bale will have to

overcome box seven in the final, with most of his

recent wins coming when drawn closer to the fence.

Matt Machine (box four) has qualified for his

second Group 1 after a gutsy 30.04 victory in the first

of the semi finals. The son of SH Avatar and Love To

Rock finished seventh in last year’s Melbourne Cup

final.

The History of the Silver Chief Classic The AJS Corporation Silver Chief Classic is certainly

one out of the box and is sure to produce yet another

champion who will go on to great heights; as have

previous winners.

The Great Silver Chief after winning 1939 Waterloo Cup

The Classic is one steeped in tradition, first being run in

1964. Directors of the Melbourne Greyhound Racing

association saw fit to name The Classic after the greyhound

“Silver Chief” who was whelped in 1936 and owned by Ray

Herbert. Silver Chief was a “Waterloo Cup” winner in 1939

and performed admirably on the speed coursing circuit as

well. He raced in both Melbourne and Sydney and was

keenly sought after for stud duties once his racing career

was finished.

The cream of racing have won this event referred to as the

Derby of Greyhound Racing.

Champions such as Plunder Road, Black Diro, Satan's

Legend, Tempix, Chariot Supreme, Ginger, Light of Fire

and Awesome Assassin to name a few. Many have gone on

to produce sons who have also won the Classic.

The mighty Tempix won in 1978 then produced sons who

won in (81) Tempix Image and Bold Assail in 1982.

Australian super sire Chariot Supreme won the race in

record time in 1983. His progeny took out the honours in

1986 (Hopeful Supreme), 1989 (Autumn Chariot) and 1991

(Bomber Gleeson).

In recent years Light of Fire won in 1994 then produced

greats such as Awesome Assassin and Kantarn Bale.

Awesome Assassin went on to sire 2005 winner Ben’s Fury.

Leading Sire Primo Uno sired the 2009 & 2010 two winners

Fedex and Enry Walt.

In 2012 leading Victorian trainer Jason Thompson made it

five winners of the time honoured event when outsider

Godsend started an extraordinary year for the Peacedale

based mentor. He trained the winners of eleven Group races

and over 1.1 million dollars in prizemoney. His Silver Chief

record is a long way in front any other trainer in the history

of the race.

Only two champions have won the Silver Chief – Melbourne

Cup double Light of Fire in 1994 and Kantarn Bale in 1999.

IRELAND – ENGLAND SIRES LIST 2016

Droopy’s Scholari (April 2003 Droopys Kewell x

Little Diamond UK), whose dam is by Spiral Nikita

X Camelot Katie, was the top sire on the combined

English/Irish sires list for 2016.

According to sire ratings issued by greyhound-

data.com, he finished the year with 630 points, well

clear of Kinloch Brae who had 487.50 points and

Australian bred, Ace Hi Rumble with 248.50 points.

The greyhound-data.com ratings are calculated

by performances by greyhounds in top grade races only

and have long been the standard for international

reporting.

Droopys Scholari has an amazing 5,171 named

offspring on file at the time of writing and he has had

some success here over recent years with very limited

opportunities.

Note the success of Australian bred sires, and

their offspring through the list.

Next week we will have the 2016 US sires list.

REMOTE CONTROL COURSING LURE

TRAX 4WD modified, Soft fat tyres, sound

attracter, toy tow bar, 100kph

This car is not a small cheapie, the car is TRAX 4WD Truck, however Graham Moscow from Greyhound

Gear calls it car.

The car must be safe and big enough so pups can't

drag off to the dam.

Theory is to course pups three to six months in a

pack, a maximum of four to five times.

Elite State lodge have coursed five litters this year

and found this method works 100%

Pups that chased in pack were all easy break ins.

Wheeler kennels purchased a car and Brendan

Wheeler said he was very happy with it.

Longwood trainer Michael Barry has just ordered

a car and Greyhound Gear are currently modifying it for

him.

Graham has a video of pups chasing the car,

which he will email the link to, if you contact him.

I have had a look at the video and it won’t take

long to convince you what a fantastic product this is,

and just how keenly the pups chase after it.

Looks certain to be a valuable tool for breeders to

educate their young pups with, and from the look of it,

it will make the breakers job much easier when the pups

go to him, or if you are breaking your own pups in.

Why not give Graham a call and have a chat with

him about this amazing product.

He can then answer any of your question, discuss

pricing options, delivery time etc.
