20 16 6 Litters (6.0)

A touch of Magic THIS week’s review of litters from the Victorian Litter Registrations list for the week ending 24 January starts with a nice litter of seven pups, by Melbourne Cup winner, Black Magic Opal (May 2011 Magic Sprite x Awesome Opal).

Registered by See The Dream Syndicate, Manager, Sergio Buccilli, the two dogs and five bitches in the litter are from the beautifully bred, lightly raced, smart sprinter, Segovia (May 2014 Barcia Bale x Cintiarna), whose dam is by Bombastic Shiraz x Hello Sienna (Bond x Hello Gal).

She is from a litter of seven named which produced six winners and her contribution from just eight starts, was five wins and one placing, with three wins over 520 metres at Cranbourne (30.04) and two over 590 metres at Bulli (32.99rec).

On the Double NEXT we have a litter of six pups by former champion sprinter, now under-rated stud prospect, Dyna Double One (March 2013 Barcia Bale x Crystin Bale), who is in the unfortunate situation, of having to live in the shadow of his outstanding, leading national sire, Barcia Bale (March 2010 Go Wild Teddy x Princess Bale).

DROUIN WEST breeder, Christopher Watson, has a nice litter of nine pups on the list this year by Melbourne Cup, Hobart Thousand winner and underrated sire, Dyna Tron.

The six dogs and three bitches are from the beautifully bred bitch, Sliver (January 2014 Lochinvar Marlow x Issemiyake), whose dam is by Where’s Pedro x Zarbo (Bright Ebony x Gold Serenade).

She is from a litter of eight named, who all won races, including Bourbon An Kahn who won 19 times and Elisha’s Delight, who won ten races.

Her contribution to the litter’s success, from just 14 starts, was a win, over 525 metres at Traralgon (31.10) and three placings, two there and the other over 520 metres at Cranbourne.

In addition to his two Group 1 wins in the Melbourne Cup and Hobart 1000, Dyna Tron also won the Group 2 Geelong Cup and Group 3 Horsham Cup and finished third in the Group 1 Australian Cup. Some of his PB winning times were: The Meadows 29.89, 29.96, 29.98, Wentworth Park 29.69 and Sandown 29.56.

His top rated offspring to date have been, Shima Song (x Shimaguni), Letron James (x Mizuno Bale), Weblec Belle (x Snow Excuse), Bad Boy Sniper (x Isseymiyake), Opal Nera (x Black Sambuca), Usain I’m Nutty (x Dyna Gillian). Rivergum Drive (x Isseymiyake) and Must Have (x Ursula).

Avatar litter SH Avatar* (USA)

One pup UNFORTUNATELY just the one dog pup in Devon Meadows breeder, Peter Presutto’s litter, by Head Bound (December 2000 Head Honcho x Sobbing Sal), from the beautifully bred, veteran, proven producer, Drama Queen (April 2009 Spiral Nikita* x Queen Eeminia), whose dam is by Brett Lee x Leprechaun Yap (Hotshot x Leprechaun Miss).

Drama Queen has produced a long list of winners from her first three litters, whelped in June 2011, by Collision, March 2013, by College Causeway* and March 2014, by Brett Lee. She then missed a couple of times, to Barcia Bale and Awesome Project and now has just the one dog pup, but he is certainly very well bred Peter, and he’d be sleeping on the bottom of the bed if he was at my place.

TARNEIT breeder Raymond Brittain has the final litter on this week’s list, which has five pups by the highly rated US Sire, SH Avatar*.

The three dogs and two bitches, are from the well bred, lightly raced bitch, Lizzy Bodsworth (December 2011 Mogambo x Bea Smith), whose dam is by Collision x Bollinger (Black Shiraz x Sideshow Dancer).

She is from a litter of just two named, which included, Wentworth, who raced just three times, for a win and a placing.

Her race record shows she raced 18 times, for four wins and five placings, with three of those wins over 515 metres at Sandown (29.72, 29.80 and 29.95) and the other over 460 metres at Warragul (26.23).

She has one previous litter on file, with one dog and seven bitches, whelped in December 2016, by Stagger, which was bred by Garry Selkrig at Devon Meadows. _____________________________________________

Warragul temporarily closed for racing

LISA COCKERELL has a nice litter of eight pups on the list this week, registered for the Bag Of Lollys Syndicate, by the ill fated sprinter, Kayda Shae.

GOTBA - EARLY HISTORY From the GOTBA Website. Part 1 Non-Proprietary Greyhound Racing in Victoria For the benefit of the many newcomers to greyhound racing who are enjoying the sport as it is today, below is an article written by the late Dave Heneberry, a former President of the Greyhound Owners, Trainers and Breeders Association for 33 years, which discusses guiding greyhound racing through the early turbulent years.

The reproduced article appeared in the GOTBA Greyhound Gazette, August 1977.

Long Struggle for Non-Proprietary Greyhound Racing in Victoria

By D.P. Heneberry, Past President of the GOTBA In 1929 an Association was formed by Greyhound Owners, Trainers and Breeders. Later in the year, the Executive submitted a number of requests to the Clubs for an increase in stakemoney and improvements to the tracks and kennels. Clubs refused the requests.

The Executive called a General Meeting and a ban was placed on owners nominating their dogs at Napier Park Club. In a few weeks the Executive called another general meeting of Owners and Trainers at which they made a recommendation to lift the ban and instructed owners to nominate again. The meeting would not accept such a ruling but decided to continue the strike.

Treasurer: LeanneCrawford (0418 171 350)

go along with it. We made representations to that body to have certain improvements to the sport and amendments to rules. It was there we found out that the proprietary Clubs controlled the NCA Executive.

(The body that was controlling greyhound racing).

Representation on NCA Annual Conference Our next effort was to try and get representation at the Annual Conference of the NCA as we were told that was the only place where new rules could be made and present rules altered.

We were also told that we would have to form a Field Coursing Club and obtain registration for same by the NCA to run a 16 dog stake to enable the OTBA to have two delegates on the Conference.

We formed that Club and rant the first Meeting at Diggers Rest behind the Oval Hotel in 1932.

We continued to run a Field Meeting each year at Melton, Sydenham and Diggers Rest until 1947 to comply with NCA rules. In 1947, the Benalla Plumpton Club offered OTBA the use of their Plumpton course. The NCA Executive agreed. We ran a two-day meeting which was a great success.

Successful Meetings on Plumpton Nominations were received from all over Victoria and the southern part of NSW. A programme of one 32 dog stake, three 16 dog, five 8 dogs with prizemoney to the value of £675, with £800 value of trophies. The money and trophies were supplied by bookmakers who worked at Napier Park, Executive Resigns The Executive resigned and walked out of the hall. A Maribyrnong and Sandown Park. new Executive was immediately elected to carry on the For the next four years, our meetings were held twice at strike. For a few weeks the Club had difficulty in Bendigo, twice at Geelong. At all of these meetings, the securing enough greyhounds for a programme. The big OTBA added £100 to their Championship. Profits boss of one city Club went to the country and purchased averaged £200 per meeting, which was equally divided 40 to 50 dogs. They were given names and registered between the Club which loaned the ground and the by the NCA. OTBA. The strike lasted 26 weeks, during that time, OTBA One of the reasons that our Plumpton Meetings were so Executive could see that it was hopeless to meet the successful and popular, was that our Judge and Slipper Clubs head on over any dispute. It was decided to make had the confidence of all coursing people. representation to the NCA Executive re any grievances Mr Jack McKenna, who was our Judge, had judged all which we desired rectified. (We could never find out the Coursing Meetings for the Tynong Plumpton Club who have the NCA the power to control greyhound for 12 years. In 1947 he was invited by NCA of South racing). However, that was the position and we had to Australia to judge both the Derby and Oaks of that year.

The fight was long and rugged with its heartbreaks and disappointments, but when one looks around at the present set-up for the racing of greyhounds, big prizemoney, good amenities for the public, high standard of presentation and promotion, the high regard it is held in the estimation of the sporting public, the recognition it has received by the Government then we must regard it as being worthwhile.

But what does the future hold, who can tell to what heights this sport will attain.

In concluding the article which I was invited to write, I would like to thank the owners and trainers for their loyalty down the years.

Just one thought for the Proprietary Clubs which we superseded, White City and Gracedale Park received £7000 each as compensation, which was paid by the two City Clubs. Napier Park was compulsorily acquired by the Town Planning Commission (Government body) and compensation was paid by the Government, Maribyrnong got nothing as the ground was held on a rental basis.

North Melbourne Football Club Secured When the Liberal Government was formed, we made representation to them. They were very sympathetic, and we were asked to open negotiations with the City Council, as they considered that Olympic Park Oval was too close to Government House, it would be too noisy with the barking of the dogs. North Melbourne was secured at a price which we did not like, but had to accept.

After a firm of solicitors drew up a constitution and articles of association, a company was formed and an election held to elect Directors.

During the period 1929 to 1955, the OTBA had stakemoney increased from £86 to £250 per night and later £350.

All worthwhile reforms and alterations to rules were secured for greyhound owners, such as having fighters penalised, branding of greyhounds, bookmakers to use betting board, qualifying trials for low grade dogs, box draw to take place on the track before the public, automatic handicapping, veterinarian to be in attendance at all Melbourne meetings, photo finish at Part 2 Next Week. all greyhound racing meetings in the metropolitan area, installation of oscillating fans in kennels, installation

Mossimo Bale wins the Cranbourne Cup 2018 ( Pic Clint Anderson) The powerful Dailly/Wheeler partnership returned to the spotlight on Saturday night when Mossimo Bale followed in the footsteps of his illustrious sire Fernando Bale in the Group 2 Casey Steel Cranbourne Cup Final (520m).

The many feature race conquests of Fernando Bale, which was also trained by Andrea Dailly, included country cups successes at Bendigo and Traralgon and Mossimo Bale’s Cranbourne triumph continued the sensational start to his champion father’s stud career. “

asked what breed she was), nor about greyhound racing and retired greyhounds.

I realised the sausage dog question may stem from the greyhound's long back.

Then thought maybe some kids don't know much about measurement (length).

There was a time I had trouble with it as a kid. I explained how greyhound legs are long, and they're a skinny dog, while dachshunds have very short legs.

The back is seen first, and some children immediately think of a sausage dog. At least one more kid is educated now!

Story Dog Sweet Suzie the greyhound

Melanie McKenna Happy birthday to my sweet boy Axle who turned 3 this week.

Tuesday, 13 February 2018.

After our school visit Suzie and I met a late student who asked about her.

I received the dachshund question for the first time, this morning: was Suzie a sausage dog? I think I've figured out why. Some kids don't get much, if any, exposure to dogs. I asked if the kid knew what a dachshund looked like.

No! They didn't know what a greyhound was, either (I was - 26 -

China Trip Breeding: SIRE: Brother Fox DAM: La Paz Whelped : 18/10/1989 Trainer : Garry Ball Owners : Helen Gorman, Garry Ball, Eric Baulch Career Race Record : 53 starts, 28 wins, 17 placings Career Prizemoney : $180,700 NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS: Winner 1992 Group 1 Australian Cup Winner 1992 Group 3 Cranbourne Cup Winner 1993 Group 1 Australian Cup

The Group 1 Australian Cup is one of the most sought after greyhound events in this country and in 50 years of this great race only China Trip has been successful on more than one occasion.

What makes this feat even more remarkable is that China Trip’s second Australian Cup win came after spending six months on the sidelines with a broken hock, an injury that has ended the careers of many racing greyhounds.

More on The Australian Cup over the next few weeks.
