Isaac Murphy RAY and Mary Burman have built a training dynasty off the back of their shrewd breeding. Brood bitch Bizarre Barbie has whelped dogs to the ilk of Ipswich track record holder Champagne Sally and more recently Albion Park greyhound of the year Big Boy Bruce and their latest crop are starting to blossom. For her final litter, the kennel went to Victorian speed star Aston Dee Bee and even though the pups have taken a little longer to come to hand the wins are starting to come. Smart Lilly was on the front end of a double last Saturday night, going up at $1.65 over the 630 metres.
Isaac Murphy PROMISING bitch Lost in Lantana resumed in Saturday night s Novice over the 431 metre trip after a month and a half off the scene. The progeny of Thirty Talks returned with a bang straight to the front for a comfortable 25.23 victory. The win improves her record to three for three all over the track and trip winning races in consecutive weeks late October and early December before the time off. The break clearly didn t do her any harm showing the same explosive speed the led to her first two triumphs, knocking her personal best down to 25.23. As a rule, Thirty Talks pups have taken a little longer to come to hand, some of the more successful chasers not finding their best until two and a half and older.
