Wrong Entity In last week’s Greyhound Weekly, in the write up on the

Spring Gun x Marley Girl litter, I inadvertently got the

two Entity bitches mixed up.

In commenting on the win of Billy’s Bake at

Sandown on November 24, I said that he was out of

Zoenah’s Entity, instead of Evie’s Entity.

He has since finished second over 525 metres at

The Meadows, on November 30, and is drawn in box six

in Race 3 there tomorrow night, so there might be an

omen there if you’ve just read this and are having a bet.

Billy’s Bake was whelped in March 15, by Barcia

Bale and he has now raced eight times for three wins,

one second and three thirds.

He is the only pup named to date from Evie’s first

litter.

Zoenah’s Entity is also a proven dam with winners

from her first litter, by Banjo Boy, which produced,

Banjo King, Banjo Zip, Bellas Queen, Keiwa Drive,

Lady Banjo, Lonnie’s Banjo and Power Burn.

Graham brings with him with over 30 years of

involvement with the greyhound industry.

Along with being a part owner of 1995 National

Futurity Group 1 winner Tar Dinn, Graham has run

ten highly successful Greyhound Racing tours to

Ireland for the Coursing Derby (watch this space for

details of the next tour in January 2018).

Graham also bred the first ever frozen semen

litter in Queensland as a trial with the then Greyhound

Board.

This helped forge the way for frozen semen

breeding we have today in Australia.

Graham took the opportunity to follow his

passion for greyhound racing, in 2012, after having

worked in senior positions in a variety of government

departments for over 25 years, and until recently

worked as a greyhound trader with a corporate

bookmaker.

He is excited to be now be working full time

with Victorian Greyhound Weekly and is looking

forward to offering our advertisers some great deals

and promoting the sport he loves.

From the mailbox

Submissions to:

[email protected]

NEWS from the mailbox this week comes via an email

from Lake Clifton (WA) breeder John Cole who has a

lovely litter of eight pups by Group 1 Melbourne Cup,

Group 1 Paws Of Thunder and Group 2 Queensland

Derby winner, Dyna Villa (October 2012 Collision x

Roxio Bale), whose dam is by Droopys Vieri* x

Francesca Bale (Light Of Fire x Frosty Bale).

The three dogs and five

bitches are from the

very well bred bitch,

Passionate Eyes

(September 2010

Paddy’s Flame x

Bonding Eyes), whose

dam is by Bond x

Pharoah’s Eyes

(Malawi’s Prince x

Felicity Floss).

Passionate Eyes is from her dam’s only litter, which

included Cross Eyed, Illusion Eyes, Mick And Paddy

and You Name Me, who all won races.

On the track, she raced 49 times for 12 wins and

12 placings, winning six times over 460 metres at

Bundaberg (26.71), where she also won three times

over 550 metres, and also won over 520 metres at

Tweed Heads (29.49) and 431 metres at Ipswich

(25.40) where she also won over 630 metres.

John Cole has been in greyhound racing for over

40 years and says he still loves to read about the

breeding side of the sport.

He also said they get very little press in West

Australia regarding greyhound racing, so he welcomes

the introduction of Greyhound Weekly online, and we

look forward to getting more emails from the West.

Passionate Eyes has one previous litter on file,

two dogs and six bitches, whelped in March 2014 and

bred by Korrin Gear at Yandarran.

Great news from there too, with the first pup to

race from the litter winning first up at Bundaberg last

Saturday, trained by Chris Gear.

John said,Chris Gear sent Passionate Eyes to WA

on a two pup deal, and he is delighted with the result.

Dyna Villa’s oldest pups were whelped in March

this year, so we will have to wait until this time next

year to see them on the track. Thanks John.

HOOP ARM LURE TO BE ROLLED OUT

Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW)

has commenced the installation of a

hoop arm lure system at all

greyhound tracks in NSW in its

continued efforts to reduce racing

related injuries.

The hoop arm lure system has been in effect at races

held at Richmond Race Club since July this year with

feedback from participants largely positive.

Crucially, since the hoop arm lure system was

introduced, a GRNSW analysis of injury data has found

a 22.36% decrease in major/catastrophic injury rates at

Richmond.

Reducing interference between greyhounds during

racing is a priority to reduce racing injuries.

Additionally, reducing the risk of collision with the

inside running rail is essential to increasing racing

safety.

The installation of the new hoop arm lure system is

aimed at achieving these objectives and will be

reviewed for potential improvements as results are

received from research projects examining chase

motivation in greyhounds and optimum track design.

Hoop arm lures will first be installed at Gosford, The

Gardens and Nowra with trials of the new lure system

to take place throughout December before being used

at all future race meetings.

BALLARAT CUP REVIEW Local superstar Zambora

Brockie ($1.80) won the

2016 $110,000 Energis

Ballarat Cup on Friday

night for Myrniong trainer

Anthony Azzopardi.

Superstar Zambora

Brockie races away to win the Ballarat Cup (All It’s

been a big couple of days for the former NSW trainer,

who celebrated his birthday today by snaring his

second group win in two days after Topper Terretto

won the Puppy Championship at Dapto on Thursday

night.

Continued on Page 2 …

Tonight’s win was fitting as not only did Zambora

Brockie collect the $77,000 first prize, he also won

the $50,000 country cups bonus, taking his night’s

work to $127,000.

“He did it the hard way,” Azzopardi said after the win.

“He found trouble which cost his three or four lengths,

but I knew when he got clear and straightened up he’d

be hard to beat.”

Zambora Brockie is the toast of the town.

“I’m very proud to call this my local track. We live

only half an hour away and all the staff here are

fantastic, as are all the people who have come out here

tonight. All of the trainers and owners appreciate your

support.”

“It’s a privilege to be a trainer in Victoria. I’ve raced

in a lot of states and Victoria is 10 lengths clear of the

rest,” Azzopardi said.

Anthony said training his team of dogs was a team

effort that involved the help of close friends and

family.

After Zambora Brockie the runners in the field

finished in the following order: Judicial Man ($6.20),

Weekend Binge ($8.10), Black Mumbo ($13.10),

Diego Bale ($27.40),Zinzan Brooke ($5.40),

American Monster ($15.70) and Tiggerlong Cruz

($41.20).

Zambora Brockie is raced by Charlie Azzopardi and

trained by Anthony Azzopardi of Myrniong in

Victoria. Zambora Brockie is a Black dog whelped

September 2013 by Nitro Burst from Flying Liddy

(Flying Stanley x Crazy Jo). He has won 30 of his 48

starts and has been placed on nine occasions and with

the $77,000 first prize for the Ballarat Cup and

$50,000 Country Cups triple bonus it took his current

stake earnings to $563,133.

Bob McKinnon Part 1

Great Falls Montana (USA)

Maddog McDermutt, greyhound

controversial, satirical writer, has

gone overboard.

I can say that because that’s

me. Bob McKinnon. Split

personality. Schizophrenia. Nom de

Plume!!!

For years my counter ego (the

man’s an idiot) Maddog has written

for The Greyhound Review,

published in Abilene, Kansas, US,

story after story, month after month,

the career beginning with off-the-

wall fiction evolving into more

journalistic efforts with visits and

interviews to Greyhound farms and

tracks in America, Australia, New

Zealand, England, Wales, Scotland,

Mexico and Canada.

“What remains,” Maddog says,

“is Ireland. We have not been to

Ireland yet. They should brace

themselves, we’re talking about it.”

Robert Scott McKinnon’s first

book, Moose, Bruce and the goose,

was about a greyhound, published in

1965 by Bobbs Merrill, followed five

years later with To Yellowstone: A

Journey Home, published by Holt,

Rinehart and Winston, which had a

Disney option contract on it for three

years. Then, a third novel, Down

Under Jones, published by the Iowa

Greyhound Association. A fourth

novel, Jesse’s Hound, originally

published in The Greyhound Review

for nine consecutive months, is now

on Amazon.

I’m almost 80 and I had a lot of

“stuff” here and there. I decided to

check out Amazon. On my own. No

publisher.

What happened was some

thirty titles on Amazon, such as:

Vintage Maddog #1, #2, #3, #4 and #

5. Five eight story collections.

Maddog and his cronies and

adventures in the world of dog

racing.

Moose Bruce and the goose, juvenile

novel. Moose is a greyhound.

Sport of Queens, an Iowa greyhound

magazine.

From Cairo to Iowa: On the Trail of

the Racing Greyhound. , an Iowa

greyhound magazine.

The Captain’s Dog Part 1, Part 2,

Part 3. A Newfoundland, not a

greyhound.

A Maddog trilogy (the three Iowa

magazines stuck together).

And now, ladies and

gentlemen, next in the queue, a

forthcoming novel Stubs Feral.

I think this novel is going to go

viral, eventually.

In spite of Maddog McDermutt. I

think one day it’ll be a movie. The

main character is a cat.

Here’s what one scholarly

reviewer and English teacher, Todd

Johnson, had to say after having

taken a peek at the manuscript.

Hey Maddog, I really enjoyed Stubs

Feral. It is a much richer, more

compelling story than what you first

showed me, and I had fun reading it.

From the well-developed characters,

especially Twigy, to the all of the

wonderful greyhound stories, to

Twigy’s interaction with the school

kids, to the fantastic, well-imagined

life of Stubs and all of his magical

powers and relationships, it is a good

read.

Questions all fall to the

wayside as more and more kids and

teachers are part of the audience, and

more and more the reader is willing

to suspend any disbelief while

waiting to see what happens next.

That is a true sign of a

successful story.

Stubs Feral features

greyhounds, two in particular, and

the supporting characters are the

jinny pit judge and track vet, and

their sons, and a cat.

I think one pictorial scene of

two young boys teaching a big pup

how to lead … classic, viral stuff for

U tube and Facebook and all the rest.

Walter Farley and his Black

Stallion series, a series which most

kids read twice and maybe again as

adults, and Daymon Runyon, a New

York journalist with humorous and

sentimental tales of horse track

gamblers and hustlers, which

eventually led to the famous musical

Guys and Dolls.

For pity’s sake the Black

Stallion was an Arabian, doesn’t

matter.
