Isaac Murphy THE wait is over for Ray and Mary Burman s much anticipated Out of Range/Champagne Sally litter to hit the racetrack. Champagne Jazzy was the first of the pups to hit the track and she did it in style pouncing on the lead in a dominant 30.55 maiden win last Saturday night. Champagne Sally is a dual track record holder at Ipswich over the 520 and 630 metres. If Champagne Jazzy s debut is anything to go by, the litter who are only 17 months old, may one day challenge their champion mother. Ray Burman said he had been holding the litter back given their tender age but the times they were running over the 288 and 431 metres in trials were simply too quick to keep them sidelined.
Isaac Murphy THERE could be no more appropriate winner of the Past Members Trophy than the flying Spring Cleo for Pauline Byers. Not only did the bitch extend her winning streak to seven but did so in a race that remembers late members of the club who made lasting contributions. Arguably no-one left a bigger imprint on the club than the late Col Byers who would have been smiling from above as his wife s greyhound of the year frontrunner did it again. The win was Spring Cleo s 10th of the year. With her ability to bounce between the four and five hundred metre trips in top grade, who knows what she could tally by the end of the year.
He looks to have found one with Winlock Molly. The former Dubbo and Bathurst regular has been in her new kennel for seven starts now and broke her Ipswich duck in fine fashion in Tuesday s fifth grade. It was the daughter of Fernando Bale s fourth attempt over the 431 metres after contesting far tougher races in third and fourth grade company before finding her right grade. The bitch found most of her success over the short trips - the 340 metres at Bathurst and 400 at Dubbo - and did well to stretch out and last by two lengths over the 431 in a more than respectable 25.3 gallop.
