11 From the mailbox Follow up from Last week. More on the Marley Girl Litter. LAST WEEK in the Mailbag segment, we covered a litter of seven dogs and five bitches, from Longwood breeder Maureen Barry, by Group 1 Vic Peters Classic winner Spring Gun, from the beautifully bred bitch, Marley Girl (December 2010 Mogambo x Girl Aloud), whose dam is by Spiral Nikita* x Crystal Entity (Just The Best x Graceful Affair). When we first put the story onto the website, there were a couple of minor errors, which were quickly corrected, so most people wouldn t have noticed. In making the corrections, I realized there was additional material I had researched, but not been able to use in the space I had allocated. I have decided to include that detail this week to go with the great photo of Marley Girl, watching over a couple of the pups, who are now just over 13 weeks old. As we told you last week, the litter s combined stake earnings exceed $150,000. Clarifying the race record of Evie s Entity, she was a finalist in the Group 1 Sapphire Classic, Group 2 Warragul Cup and Group 2 Horsham Cup. Zoenah s Entity recently became a proven brood bitch with the win of Billy s Bake at Sandown on November 24. He has now raced eight times for three wins and four placings. Roger Clark GREYHOUND OF THE WEEK THIS week we introduce a new segment, the Editor s choice of Greyhound of the Week. Our first Greyhound of the Week is: BESSY BOO The additional information I wanted include was the details of the race records of Marley Girl s litter., which are as follows: Greyhound Starts 1sts 2nds 3rds Evie s Entity F Gambo Girl F Hez Aloud M Heza Hustler M Lango F Loud One F Marley s Girl F Scooter s Girl F Zoenah s Entity F Totals BESSY BOO Black Dog March 2012 Bekim Bale x My Black Bess 152 starts 43 wins 25 seconds 28 thirds At Wentworth Park 119 starts 33 wins 19 seconds 22 thirds Prizemoney $334,399 The amazing Bessy Boo, trained at Londonderry by Christine Proctor, for Ashley Wilson, won his 33rd race at Wentworth Park last Saturday night. In case you hadn t noticed, have a look at his whelping date, March 2014, which makes him 4 years and eight months, what a great effort. Congratulations Christine on an outstanding job you have done with this grand campaigner, who obviously doesn t know how old he is, so you had better not tell him Got a nomination for Greyhound of the Week? editor@victoriangreyhoundweekly.com.au
