In a drama filled final of the world’s richest staying race, Miata ($1.20) blew the start and was last after a few strides as Irma Bale ($11.50) bounced straight to the front to lead through the first turn.

Past the post the first time, Irma Bale held a two length lead over He’s My Future ($57.60) with Miata a further seven lengths from the lead. Down the back straight, He’s My Future reduced the margin to less than a length before Vintage Blend ($13.90) swept around the leading pair and appeared to have the race at her mercy as they straightened for home.

However the Sydney raider found trouble in the run to the line, allowing Irma Bale to rail strongly and retake the lead and secure Hall Of Fame trainer Graeme Bate his first RSN Sandown Cup victory.

He’s My Future stuck on gamely to finish a length adrift of the leader, while Miata showed her class to finish strongly to finish a further three quarters of a length away third.

“It was an absolutely top run,” said an emotional Graeme Bate following the win.

“I was little bit lucky in that Miata missed the start by so much. She was almost last through the catching pen and still ran third she’s that fast.

“Irma knew they were coming – they were all over the back of her on the home turn. When she found the line I was so elated, I just couldn’t believe it.”

Owned by leviathan New South Wales owner Paul Wheeler, Irma Bale is a member of an outstanding Bekim Bale x Amelia Bale litter than includes Sandown 515m track record holder Bekim Bale and The Meadows 525m track record holder Heston Bale. Irma Bale’s win in the RSN Sandown Cup (715m) was the 19th win of her 38 start career, and the $100,000 first prize took her career prize money to $168,755.

Bate has always had a high opinion of the versatile 31 month old who missed a placing just once in her first 12 race starts.

“She’s broken three track records over the middle distances and has been racing in great form,” continued Bate.

“It was a great race and a great night – it’s incredible how many people are here tonight – it’s just a great thrill.”

Miata’s trainer Paul Stuart offered no excuses for his star chaser’s defeat.

“It was disappointing. She blew the start and from there she got herself into strife. She did well to finish third but all of her trouble was her own doing.

“She appears to have pulled up fine from the run so we’ll now look to Brisbane for the Gold Cup (heats to be run on Thursday 7 June).”

Miata’s defeat was a big win for Ted Goss from Mornington, who drew Irma Bale in an on course competition and drove home in a new Mazda 2 courtesy of Berwick Mazda.

The RSN Sandown Cup was the culmination of Sandown’s tremendously successful Autumn Carnival which shattered a number of records in a memorable month of Greyhound Racing.

Stewards Report:

Vintage Blend was vetted following the event. It was reported that the greyhound sustained injuries to the right shoulder. A 7 day stand down period was imposed. Acting under GAR 69(5), the Stewards charged Vintage Blend with failing to pursue the lure with due commitment (by reason of injury) and directed that the greyhound perform a satisfactory trial pursuant to GAR 69(6), before any future nomination will be accepted.

Miata found yet another way to amaze when, in the last of the four Sandown Cup qualifiers, she smashed the track record from the same box draw last week (two) with a staggering time of 41.54sec.

Irma Bale (box six) is rated the main danger, if there are any, after posting clearly the second fastest heat time of 41.84sec.

TAB Sportsbet is also open on two “Miata specials” for tomorrow night. The first is whether her winning margin will be four lengths or less, or more than four lengths.

“We went up $1.90 each of two options and the punters quickly snapped-up the over four lengths, so it;’s $1.80 over and $2 four lengths or less,” TAB Sportsbet’s Adam Hamilton said.

The second special is on whether Miata will break the track record she set last week.

“We think it’s big ask to go any faster than she did last week, but it is Miata we’re talking about,” Hamilton said. “We’re $1.40 for her NOT breaking the record and $3 that she WILL break it.

“It is worth noting she already owns six track records, including 715m at her home track Cannington, 647m at Mandurah and 720m at Wentworth Park.”

WILL MIATA BREAK THE TRACK RECORD?

• $1.40 NO
• $3.00 YES

WHAT WILL MIATA’S WINNING MARGIN BE?

• $1.80 MORE than four lengths
• $2.00 FOUR lengths or LESS

It’s just one example but it is typical and it is instructive. It tells you where racing is headed. Here are the TAB Win pools, race by race.

Obviously, they are up and down like the proverbial. There is no pattern – race 5 and 8 were the only higher grade events but the betting did not reflect that. On top was a fairly average mix of youngsters in the first race (at 7:15 pm). The longer trips – over 600m – were races 3, 4, 9 and 10. They were erratic, too.

These figures do not include TAB Fixed Odds Betting (which is not published) but they are fairly small in greyhounds and would not change the pattern.

The spikes occurred in much the same way in all three totes. The first race polled well everywhere and they all dropped off after 9:30 pm (from race 8 onwards) except for a jump in race 10, no doubt following the finish of harness racing, which starts earlier and finishes earlier. Even so, that made no difference to race 11.

Everywhere, there was a 100% or more difference between top and bottom. There is no inherent reason for such a wide variation. The prime, but not the only, cause for this behaviour is an overcrowded program.

And there were clashes aplenty. Apart from battles amongst the five greyhound meetings, including The Gardens, Richmond and Traralgon, five harness meetings directly competed with the dogs (two others had finished earlier). Thoroughbred meetings were not involved as they ran well before or after the dogs.

That means a race occurred on average every two and a half minutes throughout the night. Couple that with the usual delays in getting harness races started, and the three minutes or so it takes to run them, and it leaves little time to digest the form and the prices for the dogs, or even to notice they are running.

These days, SKY does not need presenters, a mechanical harvester would do.

On top of that, Tabcorp has a habit of displaying its “next-up” price screens out of sequence by giving a harness race priority over an earlier dog race. As SKY runs them in the correct order, but on two screens, this further confuses punters. That discrimination also reduces the casual betting on the dog race. (Note: although harness racing is falling in popularity and in total betting, the individual races still attract more dollars than a given dog race).

The outcome is a mish-mash of racing organised by a Tabcorp (SKY’s owner) trying to maximise its turnover regardless of the junky nature of the product it is turning out. Most greyhound administrations have been sucked into this mess, tempted by the prospect of more dollars at the end of the year, and also regardless of the quality of the product they are offering to the public. They have glossed over the chop in turnover on the two better quality meetings, compared with two or three years ago. There are only so many dollars to go round and The Meadows and Wentworth Park have suffered collateral damage.

If you examine those individual pools, you can see that it is impossible to rely on any one race climbing much past $10,000. You just don’t know. This means that many TAB punters must make their bets on the basis of no more than $5,000 or so because that’s all that will be on the screens prior to their cut-off time. What happens after that is in the lap of the gods.

Some punters may be turning to NT bookies, who now handle some 20% of the action, and will probably handle even more in the future. Even so, that may not offer price certainty – depending on whether they used Fixed Odds or Best Tote options. In either case, bookies betting back into the smallish tote pool can affect the odds further. Only a national betting pool would help ease that burden, although it will not completely overcome it. Mug gambling will continue unchecked, or may even increase in importance.

The gross take at the end of the year may or may not be affected by what happens on Saturday nights. It is more likely that gains, if any, will come from extra meetings and races stuck into holes in the program at other times of the week – themselves meetings which drag out slow dogs just to make up the numbers (in Victoria, Tier 3 rules make slow dogs compulsory). Greyhound Racing is the only code – in fact the only sport – which rewards poor competitors like that. The justification for that policy is simply that it is good to offer some opportunities for bad dogs and so avoid them meeting a worse fate.

Perhaps, but how it is being done must be weighed against the dumbing down of the entire racing week and the loss of a genuine punting group that obviously can’t be bothered any more. Consequently, the twin terrors of overcrowded programs and mug gamblers are re-shaping the industry.

(It is noteworthy that as far back as 2005 an overload of races prompted the leading gallops raceclubs to establish the dedicated thoroughbred channel, TVN. They were looking for a better discussion of their races than was possible on the rapid fire SKY system).

Here we see an example of modern corporate behaviour in lifting short term turnover at the expense of the long term impact on the quality of the product. Typically, executives earn bonuses based on what happens this year, not next year or the one after that (and Tabcorp bonuses, for example, can be very hefty, often in the hundreds of thousands of dollars).

Whatever the justifications offered, we will still end up with a future that is founded on too much poor quality racing and too many poor quality customers. Here we have shown only a small sample but everything that has occurred over the past few years is consistent with these patterns.

Remember, it is not just greyhounds. The entire racing industry has been in decline for two decades now, relative to other forms of gambling and recreation (market share is down from 50% to about 10%). Thoroughbred racing has suffered most while sports betting has gained most. Of course, the bean counters have little influence over sports as they are under the control of others. Racing is a different story as TABs hold the whip hand everywhere.

Those same TABs once did a fine job of progressively improving racing’s lot by making a bet possible all over the country and increasing the range of bet types. But they have long since run out of puff. Indeed, Tabcorp’s previous boss indicated wagering was at a “mature” stage and therefore diversified the company into casinos and the like. The quality of racing became irrelevant, only the amount of dollars processed per minute was worth worrying about. If you like, it moved from free range flocks to force-fed chooks in cages. Maybe Jo would have been proud, but look what happened to him.

Do not be misled by occasional publicity from state authorities pumping out joyful messages about turnover growth. Whether true or not, any growth is a function of extra meetings, not extra patronage, and/or improved handouts from state governments. Overall betting quality has declined, and will continue to decline under the current regime. Fewer and fewer races are suitable for betting, and there are fewer genuine punters to make those bets – a vicious cycle which badly needs reversing.

The tactics may be holding their own but the strategy is flawed.

Only going back to scratch and completely reforming the industry offers any hope of real progress. The starting point is to create a meaningful national racing powerhouse and take control back from the TABs.

State of Origin stuff might have worked for Rugby League but it failed in AFL and in most other walks of life just as it is failing in racing. Racing is a national, or even international, industry which is based on quality performers and fair competition. It should be treated as such.

The old fellow found the early lead and was never headed, holding out the dead-heaters Emerald Lee (Paddy’s Flame – Inbetween Days) and Lika Whisper (Solve The Puzzle – Silver Legs) in the run to the wire, recording his 35th victory and creeping to within $2,045 of a magical $100,000 purse.

“He really is an old marvel,” his 82-year-old trainer Mark Sutcliffe explained on Tuesday morning.

“He is five and a half years old in June and we were going to retire him, but he continues to race well and loves what he is doing, so we have kept him going.”

Sutcliffe prepares Fisherman for his 83-year-old Launceston mate Bob Grubb, who unfortunately could not make it to the sports to witness the chaser greet the judge.

“Bob and I have been mates for years, but his wife was a bit off colour last night so he stayed at home,” Sutcliffe explained.

The trainer and his wife do a wonderful job and didn’t arrive home to their Acton property until 2 AM.

“They swabbed Fisherman after the race which meant that we were an hour later than normal leaving the track – we are taking things a bit easy today,” he explained.

The Sutcliffe kennel was also represented on the night by the promising pup Surf Osti ( Surf Lorian – Maria’s Conquest), which ran second in the opening event to the highly rated Ted Medhurst prepared Speed Direct ( Paddy’s Flame – Inbetween Days).

A litter-brother to the previously mentioned outstanding bitch Emerald Lee, Speed Direct has now won at his last three outings, is the winner of five of eight starts overall and is shaping up as a star of the future.

The Mangalore based Medhurst is enjoying a remarkable run of success at the moment and was also seen in the winners circle on the night, with Jaguar Pines (Premier Fantasy – Jenylyn Stanley) and Zorro’s Legacy (Bombastic Shiraz – Fallen Zorro).

At last week’s NWGRC meeting conducted at the Devonport Raceway, the Medhurst kennel was represented by five winners on a ten event programme.

Richmond trainer Steve Hutt invariably has a smart chaser in his kennels and Teardrop Lake (Path To Power – Misty River) is no exception.

The former Victorian bitch made it two in a row in winning the Duke Of Wellington Grade 5 (515 metres) at the Tote Racing Centre meeting and will certainly pay her way in her new environment.

Hutt also won a race at the LGRC meeting with Teardrop Lake’s litter-sister Lake Trasimene, which was successful in the Simon’s Carpet One Grade 5 (515 metres).

Another trainer to secure a double on the night was Bracknell veteran Maurie Strickland, who boxed Where’s Hauky (Where’s Pedro – Colleen Jas) and Bubble Gump (Big Daddy Cool – Jasper’s Oceania) early in the night.

The win now means Miata ‘owns’ the record for the most consecutive victories ever recorded by an all-distance racer.

The previous mark was held jointly by the Western Australian star Afro Freeway (1983) and the great New South Wales all-distance bitch National Lass, both of whom won 14 successive races in 1985.

National Lass was a dual NSW Greyhound of the Year, in 1984 and 1985.

You might imagine a stayer would have an easier time accumulating a long string of victories. After all, the ‘quality’ of the opposition is usually not of the standard of the sprinters.

Yet, apart from National Lass’ 14 straight, the next nearest run of successive wins by either a dedicated stayer or an all-distance greyhound is Tasmanian Oak Queen’s 10 in a row in 1959. NSW stayer Equability won nine on end in 1991-1992, the ill-fated National Lee did the same in 1982 and Victorian Totally Ablaze scored nine straight in 1998.

Think about this simple fact. Since the commencement of Greyhound Racing behind a mechanical lure in Australia exactly 85 years ago this month, Miata is only the sixth greyhound to reach 15 or more successive victories.

The only other greyhounds to have notched 15 consecutive wins in Australian history are South Australian star Kate’s A Scandal in 1981 and Tasmanian sprinter True Vintage in 1988.

Miata will now attempt to equal the record for the most successive TAB-class victories when she competes in the Sandown Cup final on 24 May.

That record was set in early 2009 by the brilliant NSW sprinter Miss Elly Mint.

Of course, the overall record for the most wins in a row is still some way off. In 2004 the Queensland sprinter Tropical One made it 24 on end, eclipsing the previous mark held by fellow Queenslander Sophocles, and set at 21 in a row in 1987.

It would be a brave person who could suggest Miata cannot surpass either Sophocles’ or Tropical Ones’ record.

The running of the nation’s richest staying race for greyhounds, the Sandown Cup, will see record-smashing Miata line up as the white-hot favourite. She will be aiming for her 16th win in a row.

“Miata is quickly becoming the Black Caviar of Greyhound Racing with her owner predicting she could reach speeds of up to 75 kilometres an hour,” Racing Minister Denis Napthine said.

“As part of this special night, everyone who attends will go into a draw to be allocated a Sandown Cup finalist. If Miata wins, the person who draws Miata automatically wins a brand new Mazda MX-5 Miata valued at $52,000.

“In the unlikely event Miata doesn’t win, a Mazda 2 is up for grabs, so either way someone will drive away a winner on Thursday night.

“The Victorian Coalition Government has joined forces with the Sandown Greyhound Racing Club, Greyhound Racing Victoria and Berwick Mazda in putting on this very special promotion that will attract many people to the track and let them witness the great sport that is Greyhound Racing,” Dr Napthine said.

Sandownd Greyhound Racing Club Chief Executive Officer Greg Miller said the Coalition Government’s Raceday Attraction would prove a real boon to attract even more people to the Sandown Cup finals.

“Thursday’s final is an unmissable chance to see Miata thrill the crowds and it only gets better with one lucky racegoer to drive away a brand new sporty Mazda,” Mr Miller said.

“In addition, families will receive a special treat with a winter wonderland, rides and showbags for the kids.

“The support from the Coalition Government is much appreciated and turns a fantastic night of greyhound finals into a night not to be missed,” Mr Miller said.

As part of Cystic Fibrosis Australia’s 65 Roses Day campaign, each of the 35 Greyhound Racing tracks in NSW are to stage their own 65 Roses Race Meeting in May.

Every time a greyhound wearing the red rug (number one) wins a race at a 65 Roses Race Meeting, Greyhound Racing NSW will donate $250 to Cystic Fibrosis. It is hoped 65 greyhounds wearing the red rug will win throughout the month of May at the designated 65 Roses Race Meetings.

Having just passed the halfway mark of the campaign, 46 greyhounds wearing the red rug have won at 65 Roses Race Meetings. Combined with additional money pledged during each 65 Roses Race Meeting, the total amount raised now stands at $23,800.

Wentworth Park’s 65 Roses Race Meeting on Friday night will have added significance as it coincides with the Cystic Fibrosis Australia’s 65 Roses Day – a day which aims to raise funds for vital research and services that help extend the lives of Australians living with Cystic Fibrosis.

In addition to the 65 Roses Race Meeting, the iconic judge’s tower at Wentworth Park will be turned red throughout this week. The race track will also play host to a special cocktail function on the Friday.

Greyhound Racing NSW Chief Executive Brent Hogan encouraged racegoers to get down to Wentworth Park on Friday night and support Australians living with Cystic Fibrosis.

“We believe the 65 Roses Race Meetings are Greyhound Racing’s best way of providing support to helping people living with the condition as well as their families. So let’s all get down to Wentworth Park and raise a glass to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis,” Mr Hogan said.

Mr Hogan said the 65 Roses campaign had been a great success, with the sport’s participants as well as local communities throughout NSW getting behind the red rug at the 65 Roses Race Meetings.

“The support shown from all clubs who have already hosted a 65 Roses Race Meeting has been fantastic and I am sure that will continue throughout the month of May,” Mr Hogan said.

Cystic Fibrosis is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children. At present there is no cure, but organisations such as Cystic Fibrosis Australia are dedicated to funding further research into the condition and Cystic Fibrosis NSW to providing services and support to people in NSW who live with Cystic Fibrosis.

Tickets for the cocktail function are $25 and include food, drinks and live entertainment. They can be purchased by calling (02) 8767 0500.

Actually, brilliant is probably the wrong word to describe Miata. Powerful would be more like it. The further it goes the better she gets. It would be fascinating to find out how her heart and lung sizes compare with the average greyhound.

I will withhold judgement on Irma Bale until she repeats her smart win. Too many good 600m dogs pick up the odd distance race but can’t repeat the effort. (And, no, I don’t rate her Angle Park distance runs anywhere near this standard. The times were only ordinary, as was the opposition, except for Cousin Callum. Besides, for many dogs, Angle Park is a much easier track to negotiate than Sandown).

It was also interesting to see that Bombastic Shiraz (Black Shiraz-Bombastic Blonde) provided four of the twelve placegetters, including the two fastest – Miata and Vintage Blend. Hallucinate, a result of greyhound breeding royalty (Brett Lee-Elusive Rebel), had three others and litter brother Wheres Pedro two more. And all had unplaced runners as well. Yet none of these three went past the sprints in their own careers. The same with the grandsires. In fact Black Shiraz was possibly best over the 450m trip. Does someone know the secret here? Or is it just trial and error?

As for the final this coming Thursday – with box 2 and moderate beginners either side what is going to stop Miata doing it again?

What’s In A Name?

It had to happen.

I have never liked raceclubs allowing a sponsor to take precedence over the name of the club itself. Individual races, shirt sleeves, billboards, even jockeys’ pants, OK, but not the club.

The club’s name is its brand. It is what it promotes to the public, to employees, to governments, to administrators, to members. Like the shape of the Coke bottle, it should never be touched.

One risk is always that the sponsor’s name will itself be tarnished in some way. It can never add, only detract from the club’s good name, assuming it has one.

And it can be overcome by events. The sponsor can go broke or just get sick of the deal and move on somewhere else. Or undergo a name change, which is what has just happened in Newcastle.

Betchoice, the former sponsor of The Gardens, is no longer. Earlier this year it sold out to Malta-based multinational, multi-gambling type Unibet, not to be confused with Unitab, the former name of Tatts (see – already there is a query).

So now we have Unibet Gardens. I find that ugly. All the effort put into building a new club name is wasted. It will have to start again. Anyway, it adds nothing to the club or to the town. It simply helps balance the club’s books, admittedly a sorely needed boost, but that’s all.

Bad move.

Can you imagine Domino’s Flemington or Diet Coke Royal Randwick? Hardly. Yes, I know football does it – or more correctly, the ground owners do it – but not the club itself.

But advertising can be a funny business.

Going back a bit, I can recall the time when the (now deceased) Cessnock club sold the space on the gate to the pen to a bookmaker. They will probably deny it, but the TAB (then TAB Ltd) was about to sign up on a deal to put its logo on NSW rugs but held it up until the bookmaker’s sign disappeared. I am not sure they would get away with that today.

Going back further, I also recall the time when the first club accepted sponsorship of an individual race. All hell broke loose as the rest of the industry was aghast at such a break in tradition. (I think it was Bulli but don’t hold me to that). So much for progress.

After running down Whispering Wind in a 30.23 Best-of-Night performance a week earlier, the son of Bombastic Shiraz and High Tide Honey was too quick again in the final, setting up winning break in the opening stages of the race.

Exiting the three alley as the $3.30 popular elect, the light fawn sprinter recorded 5.72 to the first mark, and was able to clear away from Al’s Special ($6.80) who ran up the track on the first bend.

With several runners getting shuffled around, it left Go Mighty Shiraz ($3.60) and Garrett Bale ($9.90) next in the chase, as the leader set a sectional time of 18.85 off the back and looked to be travelling strongly.

With Al’s Special starting to feel the pinch in the straight, Jordy Pordy had the race in his keeping. Coming away in the closing stages, the final margin was almost three lengths, with Go Mighty Shiraz getting up for second, and 30.42 displaying on the semaphore board.

It has been a progressive career for Jordy Pordy, who began racing at Shepparton with a debutant 25.50 win in a maiden heat before eventually the taking out the final.

Success at Warrnambool (25.58), Ballarat (25.28) and The Meadows (30.21) soon followed before finding the line again in 29.50 at Sandown.

The dog’s gallant third behind Dyna Bert in the Warrnambool Cup earlier this month had no doubt set things up for the long trek across the country, and to notch up the first of what could be several Group race trophies.

It brings the total career statistics to 9 wins and 7 placings from 23 career starts and over $70,000 in the bank already.

In what was a true night out for the Victorian visitors, a total of four winners scored for the garden state over the 530m. Garrick Bale was the fastest of those outside of the Derby final running 30.50 for Andrea Dailly, being too strong for Miata’s littermate Starlight Delly in the straight.

Dailly’s other winner was Chris Bale who came from midfield to pip Linda Britton’s chaser, Stoked, on the post in 30.91. While earlier in the night Britton had scored with Vee Ate Mate after it accounted for a grade five field easily in 30.73 winning by five and half lengths.

On the plus side for the locals, super sprinter Hot Irish returned from its interstate campaign to record a brilliant lead-all-the-way win over Vocal Enforcer in what was a best of the night time of 30.34.

One of the abandoned races was the Group 3 $36,000 SA Breeders Plate Final which was due to be run as Race 8. After maintenance staff on the night was unsuccessful in resolving the motor issue it was determined by the stewards that the remainder of the meeting be abandoned.

Friday morning GRSA ground staff and electricians were on site to investigate the problem. After repairs and testing of the lure it appears the issues been rectified, therefore, racing and trialling will continue as normal.

Greyhound Racing SA in consultation with the trainers of the greyhounds engaged in the SA Breeders Plate have decided to transfer the race to this coming Thursday night’s program (May 24th ) as an extra race making it a bumper 12 race program. Normal policy has applied to the remainder of the races.

Tattsbet have also advised that the Trifecta Jackpot of over $15,000 will also be transferred onto the final this week.

Also featured this week will be the $9,000 Shane McQueen Memorial Final over the 600m journey after the heats were conducted last night.

The fastest qualifier for the final is reigning Greyhound of the Year Kalden Mayhem for trainer Troy Murray who bounced back to form with a dazzling final section, running away from both Dyna Aline and Crazy Heart in winning by over 8 lengths in a flying 34.85.

His kennel mate Kalden Aurora was also impressive in winning heat 2 of the McQueen Memorial after jumping to the front and giving nothing else a chance, she defeated Lasting Effect and Paua To Rock in a solid 34.97.

The final heat was taken out by the Ossie Chegia trained Head Tuner who proved too strong over the concluding stages for Kalden Komoto to remain undefeated over the 600m in winning by over 4 lengths in a handy 35.22.

The box draw for next weeks $9,000 Shane McQueen Memorial Final will be conducted on Monday with the qualifiers being Kalden Mayhem, Dyna Aline, Crazy Heart, Kalden Aurora, Lasting Effect, Paua To Rock, Head Tuner, Kalden Komoto with the 1st reserve Jessenia Bale and 2nd reserve Point Two Over.
