Lady Moscato has been retired to stud.</div> <div> Trainer Bob Wright said this today after the daughter of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>History Lesson-Lady Kero</B></FONT> had cracked a hock in her first straight gallop late last week.</div> <div> The bitch was on the comeback trail after she had split webbing when hot favourite in a 710m race at Albion Park in June.</div> <div> “She would need three months off for the hock to recover, then another couple of months before she would be ready to race,” said Bob.</div> <div> “By that time she would be three and a half and the vet suggested she may not come back as good as she was so it was decided to retire her.”</div> <div> Lady Moscato earned $81,000 for her connections during an outstanding but luckless race career.</div> <div> She was placed in four Group finals.</div> <div> She was second in the Group 2 Vince Curry Maiden at Ipswich, and Lizrene Classic at The Meadows, and third in the Group 1 Albion Park Gold Cup and Sandown Cup.</div> <div> “She had got over the split webbing problem,” said Bob. “I gave her the run up the straight but by the time she was home she was lame.</div> <div> “X-rays confirmed the crack in the hock.”</div> <div> Wright said it was likely Lady Moscato would be mated to champion sprinter El Galo when she comes on season.</div> <div> “It will depend on how many pups she has, but I would think some will be for sale,” he said.</div> <div> Lady Moscato retires the winner of 18 races with 11 seconds and nine thirds. </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP

lemons each morning he gets out of bed.</div> <div> That’s because Mark cannot believe the success he is having with greyhounds.</div> <div> Mark was planning his next celebration on Thursday night when his star bitch Millennium led throughout to win a 520m Best 8 at Albion Park.</div> <div> The daughter of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate-In My Dreams</B></FONT> scored by five lengths over her kennelmate Grampian with a head to Stone Cold Sober in third.</div> <div> Greg Brennan trains both bitches.</div> <div> Millennium has already won the Group 2 Qld Futurity at Albion Park and her victory on Thursday night took her record to 15 wins and eight placings in 33 starts.</div> <div> Eleven of those wins have been at Albion Park.</div> <div> Millennium and her kennelmate Grampian will come back to Albion Park next Thursday night for a tilt at the heats of the Group 1 Winter Carnival Cup.</div> <div> “Grampian is getting near retirement,” said Greg Brennan.</div> <div> “The end of the winter will probably see her out.</div> <div> “At this stage I am even contemplating putting her to our own dog Shadow Boxer.”</div> <div> Shadow Boxer, one of the fastest dogs in the country, is on the comeback trail after injury.</div> <div> He is a litter brother to Millennium.</div> <div> Brennan said Millennium had been knocked down at the start when sixth to Velocette in a heat of the Gold Coast Cup at headquarters last week.</div> <div> “She was badly boxed tonight, but she got a clear run and that’s all she needed,” said Brennan. “Mark will be organizing the celebration for the trip home.”</div> <div> Millennium has taken her earnings to more than $50,000 in those 33 starts.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#003300 HEIGHT= 16

length in 35.36 with a length and quarter to Texas Ranger in third.</div> <div> It was Genista Reign’s 16th victory in 52 starts and he has run 19 placings.</div> <bR> <div> “Last week’s run was disappointing,” Falls said of Genista Reign’s sixth to Una Play Boy.</div> <div> “But he came out slowly and got back in the field. He was coughing on the way home so I think he copped plenty of sand and that was the end of him.”</div> <bR> <div> Falls was happier his dog drew the rails on Thursday night and he bounced back to his best.</div> <div> Falls ignored the fact his dog was up almost a kilo in weight for this week’s race.</div> <div> “I felt he was down too much last week and adjusted for it this week,” he said.</div> <div> Genista Reign is out of a sister to champion Whisky Assassin.</div> <bR> <div> “The dam can’t have any more pups,” said Neil. “But the owners have a half sister to Genista Reign who has a litter of Hallucinate pups that are being broken in now.”</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#003300 HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="620"><div> <B>JULY 2009</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 535 WIDTH="620"><div> <B>A thousand reasons to celebrate</B></div> <div> 9 July, 2009 - <I>Courtesy Greyhounds Queensland</I></div> <bR> <div> MARK Rowe reckons he has to bite on lemons each morning he gets out of bed.</div> <bR> <div> That’s because Mark cannot believe the success he is having with greyhounds.</div> <div> Mark was planning his next celebration on Thursday night when his star bitch Millennium led throughout to win a 520m Best 8 at Albion Park.</div> <bR> <div> The daughter of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate-In My Dreams</B></FONT> scored by five lengths over her kennelmate Grampian with a head to Stone Cold Sober (<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate x Kalka Kate</B></FONT>) in third.</div> <div> Greg Brennan trains both bitches.</div> <bR> <div> Millennium has already won the Group 2 Qld Futurity at Albion Park and her victory on Thursday night took her record to 15 wins and eight placings in 33 starts.</div> <div> Eleven of those wins have been at Albion Park.</div> <bR> <div> Millennium and her kennelmate Grampian will come back to Albion Park next Thursday night for a tilt at the heats of the Group 1 Winter Carnival Cup.</div> <div> “Grampian is getting near retirement,” said Greg Brennan.</div> <bR> <div> “The end of the winter will probably see her out.</div> <div> “At this stage I am even contemplating putting her to our own dog Shadow Boxer.”</div> <div> Shadow Boxer, (<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate x In My Dreams</B></FONT>) one of the fastest dogs in the country, is on the comeback trail after injury.</div> <bR> <div> He is a litter brother to Millennium.</div> <div> Brennan said Millennium had been knocked down at the start when sixth to Velocette in a heat of the Gold Coast Cup at headquarters last week.</div> <bR> <div> “She was badly boxed tonight, but she got a clear run and that’s all she needed,” said Brennan. “Mark will be organizing the celebration for the trip home.”</div> <div> Millennium has taken her earnings to more than $50,000 in those 33 starts.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#003300 HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="620"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="620" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div>    <STYLE type="text/css">  </STYLE>   </div> </td> <td valign="top" rowspan="2" width=140 BGCOLOR="#003300" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> <B><U>NEWS ARCHIVES</U></B></div> <div> <A HREF="newsarchives.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News Archives"><B>News Archives</B></A></div> <div> <B>in pdf format from May 2005</B></div> <div> <A HREF="newsarchives.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="News Archives"><B>CLICK HERE</B></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" height=24 BGCOLOR="#003300" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
