Copley’s Corner Minor upset on the cards?

Dapiran’s Northern Districts Circus Act

By Gerard Guthrie Respected trainer Peter Dapiran celebrated a feature race quinella at Shepparton on Saturday night when Circus Oasis edged out more-fancied kennelmate My Bro Lewis in a thrilling finish to the Group Listed Northern Districts Cup Final (450m). The one/two finish in the $25,000 to-the-winner Cup was a real family affair for the Northwood-based Dapirans on what they consider their home track. The victorious Circus Oasis is raced and bred by Josh Keirl, the partner of Peter’s daughter Bethany, while runner-up My Bro Lewis is raced by Peter and wife Mandy and was bred by Bethany. “It would have been nice if ours (My Bro Lewis) had won, but with Josh being my daughter’s partner it was good to get a result for them,” Peter Dapiran quipped. “Josh handled Circus Oasis and I handled My Bro Lewis. Josh and his dad, Royce, breed a couple of litters Maurice Minor Photo Clint Anderson a year so I was happy to see them win a nice race like this. “Time-wise there isn’t a lot between the four dogs,” said “Circus Oasis and My Bro Lewis have equal Maurice Minor’s trainer, Tom Tzouvelis. ability.

Our People 35 years service ONE of Victoria’s most respected servants of greyhound racing, Allan Hawkswell, has retired after 35 years of service to the industry. I must add it has been my great pleasure to have known Allan for all of that time and in fact had it not been for the many years I spent with Allan as my proof-reader and computer educator, Greyhound Weekly would not be where it is today. I worked with Allan on the Original Greyhound Weekly, then National Greyhound Form and have always been able to call on him for advice when I had a computer problem. Good luck old mate and don’t think I’ll stop calling you for advice just because you’ve retired. Roger Clark

Noel McMahon (Admin) Warmer Weather Finally some warmer weather in Victoria. But irrespective of where you live be mindful when walking your greyhounds that they may take some time to adjust to the heat Greyhounds traditionally don’t like walking in temperatures above 25 degrees so:      



Ditch the coats Keep the walks shorter until they adjust Walk earlier in cooler temperatures Watch for signs of distress Keep your dogs hydrated and Make sure they have water immediately they get home And watch out for snakes in long grass because they are active. - 29 -

Greyhounds in the home FOSTER A GREYHOUND: There are many greyhounds who need a little more assistance to help them settle into pet life They fall into two categories Greyhounds who are transitioning from the track and need help to pass their GAP assessment OR Those dogs who have been a marginal fail at their GAP assessment These dogs are just gorgeous happy greyhounds, the only difference is that need a little more help to transition into pet life The reality is that without foster carers some of these dogs are at risk If you would like to change the life of beautiful dog contact Rebecca and join her team ____________________________________________
