44 GREYHOUND RACING OntheLure with DAVID LEWIS e LAST Sunday’s Mount Gambier heats of the SA Country Cup, despite falling away due to scratchings, produced a couple of worthy representatives in Moorak Hope and Arbour Elvis. And the pair should be competitive in Sunday week’s fi nal at Gawler. Especially with greyhound trainers Tracie Price and Barry Shepheard going out of their way to ensure their dogs have a run on the track prior to the $5000 series being decided. One of the stipulations of the country series, back on the calendar after a threeyear absence, was that greyhounds were required to have started at least twice on the track they were attempting to represent. Well, where was Rouse Flyer? He’s raced at Tara Raceway on eight occasions and is arguably the best dog going around the local track at the moment. No, he didn’t fi t the residential qualifi cations even though he’s now based at Glencoe. What about Our Testa Talken then? He’s been around the track more times than the tractor that tows the grader. Actually it’s round about 40 but he was also ineligible due to the fact that he’s kennelled in Portland. These are just a couple of examples. Surely a stipulation of eight or so starts on the track within a reasonable time frame would eliminate the “hit and run” greyhounds and be a fairer option for those who regularly support the local club – irrespective of where they are based. The Mount Gambier Greyhound Racing Club relies heavily on Victorian trainers, particularly from the Portland area, to support the weekly Tara Raceway meetings. In fact, such is their support that they are considered “locals”. Not locals though when it comes to the Country Cup. In other words, you’re welcome most of the time but not when there’s a $5000 race up for grabs. As for the provincial club Gawler being included in the Country Cup. Well that’s another story. STILL TRAINING WINNERS: Amanda Darmanin and Ralph Patzel pictured at Tara Raceway last Sunday with smart 400 metre winner Black Bargain. Meanwhile, Greyhound Racing SA racing manager Shaun Mathieson was at Tara Raceway on Sunday afternoon and met one-on-one with industry participants. “I received a great response from local owners and trainers and was very impressed by the manner in which people aired their VISIT US ONLINE borderwatch.com.au It’s time to let the ‘locals’ in views. It certainly wasn’t a waste of time coming down,” he said. Suggestions put to Mathieson will be tabled at a forthcoming review panel meeting in Adelaide. Still training winners COURSE photographer Todd Nicholson recently came up with an interesting piece of memorabilia in the form of an old racing program from the Glenburnie days. This was for the South East Greyhound Racing Club’s Gala Opening Day of Sunday, June 24, 1979 which was the “dress rehearsal” for the fi rst registered meeting held a fortnight later. Current-day trainer Connie Miller had greyhounds engaged at the meeting as did Ralph Patzel who in fact won a Lucky Dog Maiden over 289 metres with his white and fawn bitch Aqualair. “I remember Aqualair well,” Patzel said this week. “She also raced at the fi rst registered meeting on July 7, 1979 and won the fi rst race ever conducted at Glenburnie.” Tara Raceway, Mount Gambier Race 1 *First 4* 2– 1–2523 GEISHA ANGEL Raymond Keating MY DADDY ALF Toni Jones 4–26 5– 3–6447 ALL AT SEA DAMONIC PIN UP BOY 6–66 AKASHA 9–6748 DEAN CO KATE Richard Clayfi eld Darren Henderson John Burow Michael Niele 7–5477 MAGICAL RICKY Ralph Patzel 8–5566 DAENERYS Bernard Rogers David Fennell 24.34 24.68 24.68 24.12 24.21 10–78 BARBAROSE BOY Peter Brouwer SELECTIONS: All At Sea, Geisha Angel, Damonic, Daenerys Race 2 LASER ELECTRICAL OPEN MAIDEN STAKE $545, $160, $80, 400m *First 4* 1–7432 LANA KANE 2–283 MR.

Interestingly, Bright Option won the fi rst race at the Lake Terrace East venue on January 25, 1997 for Glenroy trainer Richard Clayfi eld who also was successful last Sunday with the West Gambier Cricketers’ greyhound Malseed Magic. But briefl y back to the “dress rehearsal” meeting. Another division of the Lucky Dog Maiden was won by Tara Fashion. She was trained by Joan Cruise, the mother of Lee Bartholomew, who kept the tradition going last Sunday when Just Humphrey continued on his winning way at Tara Raceway. And an advertisement in the program wishing the club every success in their new venture had been placed by “Barry Maney Ford and Staff.” Not too sure if any of that staff is involved in the BMG syndicate greyhound Our Houdini which will race this afternoon.
