She was then injured at her second start in October 2013 and had one more start in June 2014 over 390 metres at Shepparton but was injured again and retired.

WATER TO BE PROVIDED DURING RACE DAY KENNELLING GRNSW Welfare News Greyhounds will have to be provided with water during race day kennelling as part of a new Race Day Hydration and Hot Weather Policy. Under the changes, clubs are responsible for providing a sealed bottle of water that is to be used by a greyhound during kennelling. The quantity of water provided by the club will need to be between 250ml and 500ml. In addition, trainers and handlers are responsible for providing a water bowl. The water bowl supplied by the trainer or handler must be of a size that ensures it can fit on the kennel door. The new Race Day Hydration and Hot Weather Policy has been introduced to improve the welfare of greyhounds competing at race meetings. GRNSW has developed this policy to assist industry participants to ensure that greyhounds are properly cared for, especially in hot weather conditions. Greyhounds not allowed access to water during kennel confinement suffer from dehydration which is a serious health and welfare concern. Dehydration is also a risk factor associated with hyperthermia, muscle cramping and acidosis (rhabdomyolysis). The new policy will commence on 2 December 2016 with a trial at The Gardens. Trainer involvement during the trial will be on a voluntary basis only. Greyhounds that participate in the trial will be permitted to wear American muzzles. After the trial, GRNSW will review the practices and consider any alterations where appropriate. Following this, the policy will commence at both TAB and Non- TAB tracks across NSW. Under the conditions of the Race Day Hydration and Hot Weather Policy, greyhounds will have to be provided with water during race day kennelling all year round (including in the cooler months of the year). The new Race Day Hydration and Hot Weather Policy replaces the Post Race Rehydration and Water Bowls in Kennels Policy. To assist participants with the changes a fact sheet has been developed by GRNSW, which will be distributed to all tracks and is also available by clicking here. Each club and their raceday staff will also be provided with training on the requirements under the policy and how it is to be implemented.

GREYHOUND OF THE WEEK This week s Greyhound of the week is: Up Hill Jill Pic Paul Munt 2016 Group 2 Sandown Laurels winner, Up Hill Jill (February 2015 Premier Fantasy* x Where s Demonica) is this week s Greyhound Of The Week. Up Hill Jill is from a litter which included Mayfair Miss, Miss Emmy Rose, Miss Morrisset, Miss Torrez, Newcastle Ranger, Predemonic and Striker Shearer. Owned by Rose Geall and trained at Lara by David Geall, Up Hill Jill has now raced 14 times for seven wins and five placings, with prizemoney of $81,915 in the bank. She has won three times over 460 metres at Warragul (25.88), twice over 515 metres at Sandown (29.53) and also over 460 metres at Geelong (25.99) and 450 metres at Shepparton (25.23). Up Hill Jill Conquers Laurels Mountain Jason Adams Up Hill Jill ($4.10) delivered her connections their biggest thrill in greyhound racing when she took out last night s $72,500 Group 2 Laurels final. Up Hill Jill speared out of the inside alley as fancied runners Fanta Bale and Striker Light found trouble. Up Hill Jill led clearly down the back straight and was unchallenged in the run to the line, defeating Fearless Swan ($6.50) by eight lengths in 29.55. There was no hiding of emotions from trainer David Geall post-race. I m over the moon. The Laurels is a very prestigious race with a lot of history, said Geall. We were quietly confident after she drew box 1. She s got great early pace and the box was going to give her every chance to win. In saying that you must have great respect for the rest of the field, there were some top-quality greyhounds in the race. The win hit close to home as Up Hill Jill is owned by Geall s wife, Rose, and bred by the family. To have bred and brought her up ourselves makes it very special. For breeders, this is the one of the most sought after races out of all the big races the Laurels is in the top echelon. It s special because as breeders we spend a lot of time with the dogs we whelp and care for them throughout their whole career. It s a race we all want to win it s synonymous with breeding. The Laurels is not Geall s first success at group level however regards the win as one of his biggest achievements. We ve been fortunate to have won Group races before but to win a race like this at Sandown, being the venue it is and the history behind it, it s sensational. Back in October Up Hill Jill was an impressive winner of the Match Maker final at Shepparton, two runs later she was a gallant 2nd to future star Hit The Highway. Following advice from good friends, Up Hill Jill s Laurels preparation began. Good friends of ours (Angela Langton and Jeff Britton) have a greyhound (Hit The Highway) that ran her down and he is a super dog they thought her run was great and recommended we give her a go at the Laurels. Geall took up training greyhounds full-time 9 years ago, and was extremely thankful for those who have helped him along the way. My wife works full-time though still finds time to help with the dogs, my brother Jeff always gives me a hand and Mick Vaughan takes control whenever I go away. Angela Langton and the Britton s have also been a huge help. I ve got a good team around me. The Laurels Classic was restricted to female greyhounds only, born on or after 01/06/2014 Up Hill Jill is raced, trained and was bred by David & Rose Geall at Lara in Victoria, she is a Black bitch whelped February 2015 by Premier Fantasy from Where s Demonica (Where s Pedro x Demonica). Up Hill Jill has won seven and been placed five times from her 14 starts and with the $50,000 first prize for the Laurels it took her current stake earnings to $65,670.

Sale Cup Preview GROUP 1 SALE CUP PREVIEW GRV Website Dundee Osprey Favourite for 2016 Sale Cup It will be standing room only at the Sale greyhounds on Boxing Day evening with local greyhound Zipping Kane certain to line up as the crowd favourite in the $108,000 Group 1 TRFM Sale Cup (650m). Trained just 30km from the Sale Greyhound Racing Club by Carolyn Jones in Rosedale, Zipping Kane was one of six heat winners on Sunday night, securing his shot at the $75,000 first prize in what is the first leg of greyhound racing s brand new Gippsland Carnival. A viral infection followed by a string of minor injuries saw Zipping Kane undertake an interrupted preparation heading into the Sale Cup. In fact, Sunday s heat win was just his second start in the past six months, which made his performance all the more impressive. He is just an unbelievably determined chaser, Carolyn Jones said after the win. He really had no right to win his (Sale Cup) heat considering he has had such an interrupted preparation, so it was a huge effort from him. While Carolyn couldn t be prouder of Zipping Kane, she was left in no doubt as to which greyhound is the one to beat in the Sale Cup. Dundee Osprey was a very impressive heat winner. He is a very good greyhound who has won some big races including the Topgun, so I think he is entitled to be favourite. Zipping Kane should improve in the final but it is a really tough field and he will need a lot of luck, she said. Incidentally six of the eight Sale Cup finalists are trained in or near the Gippsland region, with Crichton Bale and Brolly Bale being the exceptions. The last time a greyhound trained in the Gippsland region won the Sale Cup was in 2009 when Mantra Lad, prepared by Graeme Jose at Catani, saluted. Meanwhile, a star-studded field will contest the Gippsland Carnival Sprint Launch (440m) on Boxing Day evening at Sale including Aston Bolero, Jesaulenko and Pantera Nera. -16-
REMOTE CONTROL COURSING LURE TRAX 4WD modified, Soft fat tyres, sound attracter, toy tow bar, 100kph This car is not a small cheapie, the car is TRAX 4WD Truck, however Graham Moscow from Greyhound Gear calls it car. The car must be safe and big enough so pups can't drag off to the dam. Theory is to course pups three to six months in a pack, a maximum of four to five times. Elite State lodge have coursed five litters this year and found this method works 100% Pups that chased in pack were all easy break ins. Wheeler kennels purchased a car and Brendan Wheeler said he was very happy with it. Longwood trainer Michael Barry has just ordered a car and Greyhound Gear are currently modifying it for him. Graham has a video of pups chasing the car, which he will email the link to, if you contact him. I have had a look at the video and it won t take long to convince you what a fantastic product this is, and just how keenly the pups chase after it. Looks certain to be a valuable tool for breeders to educate their young pups with, and from the look of it, it will make the breakers job much easier when the pups go to him, or if you are breaking your own pups in. Why not give Graham a call and have a chat with him about this amazing product. He can then answer any of your question, discuss pricing options, delivery time etc. Graham Moscow - 0412 243 655 Special Report www.greyhoundgear.com.au - 17 -
