</B></div> <div> Courtesy GRAQ website </div> <div> 30 Oct, 2008.</div> <div> BACK to work trainer Mick Menken was the least surprised when Stone Cold Sober turned around his form to win a 520m 4th Grade at Albion Park on Thursday night.</div> <div> And in the process the son of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate-Kalka Kate</B></FONT> ran 30.06 a career best for him.</div> <div> Menken, who has given away full time greyhound training to get back into the workforce, was confident Stone Cold Sober would win.</div> <div> “The first race,” said Menken of the improvement in form by his dog. “He’s a lunatic in the kennels and the fact he was in the opening race was perfect for him.</div> <div> “And I thought if he jumped, he would be almost impossible to run down.”</div> <div> Stone Cold Sober scored by a half length over Manhattan with four and a quarter lengths to Cayman Bale in third.</div> <div> At his previous start he had finished last of seven runners in a Time Trial over 366m at Capalaba, behind kennelmate Hi Ransom.</div> <div> “The difference between those two dogs is that Stone Cold Sober is hopeless up Capalaba,” said Mick.</div> <div> Menken had wanted to get a 600m race for Stone Cold Sober but there were not enough nominations in his grade.</div> <div> “They’ve had a 600m on for the past five weeks, until I nominate this dog,” he said.</div> <div> “He’s back in to top grade again after that win and he will struggle now.”</div> <div> Stone Cold Sober has now won 16 races and 10 of those have been at Albion Park </div> <div> Blonde drawn better now.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFF99 HEIGHT= 621 WIDTH="557"><div> <B>SMART Blonde keeps living up to her name</B></div> <div> 27 Oct, 2008.</div> <div> SMART Blonde keeps living up to her name, and she gets her chance to win a feature race when she contests the heats of the Molly Campbell Silver Dollars (520m) at Albion Park on Thursday night.</div> <div> Raced and trained by Peter Dunne, the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate-Runaway Rosie</B></FONT> bitch has won 10 of her 17 starts to date.</div> <div> She made her Albion Park debut when winning last Thursday night in 30.59 after coming off an inside draw.</div> <div> The bitch crashed to the outside of the track last week which didn't surprise Dunne.</div> <div> "She always heads up the track out of the boxes," said Dunne.</div> <div> But it hasn't impeded Smart Blonde's career to date.</div> <div> The bitch takes on a hot field of young stars at Albion Park on Thursday night.</div> <div> "The future looks good for her and I'm very excited about her," said Peter.</div> <div> Dunne, who has been in greyhound for the past few decades, is now settled at Walloon.</div> <div> He prepared former top class staying bitch Just A Cutie while living at Virginia in Brisbane.</div> <div> In 2000 he moved to Willowbank and in June this year to Walloon.</div> <div> He raced and trained the bitch's dam Runaway Rosie but gave her away as a broodbitch on a pup deal.</div> <div> She has been an outstanding broodbitch.</div> <div> Smart Blonde is one of those pups Dunne got as part of the deal.</div> <div> "I had an offer of $10,000 for her after she won her first race," said Peter.</div> <div> "But I knocked it back because it's just not enough."</div> <div> Offers have kept coming but Dunne is doubtful he will sell.</div> <div> "I'm not saying she is not for sale, because everything has its price, but she's not for sale at around $10,000," he said.</div> <div> Dunne said Smart Blonde trialled a slow 30.90 with a poor final section when having her first 520m at the track some time ago.</div> <div> "But she continues to improve and she will have a good future depending on how she continues to improve," he said.</div> <div> "I don't need the money and I'm having so much fun with her that I'm not going to sell her."</div> <div> The bitch runs up against arguably the toughest of the Silver Dollars heats on Thursday night.</div> <div> Blonde surprise for Dunne </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFF99 HEIGHT= 540

Grade 5 at Albion Park tonight.</div> <div> The daughter of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate and Runaway Rosie</B></FONT> was stepping up to the 520m for the first time and despite her impressive strike rate Dunne was more hopeful not confident.</div> <div> "I have been working her up to this distance but I was a bit worried she wouldn't run it right out at this stage," Dunne said.</div> <div> "She is still pretty young being a January '07 bitch so I'm very happy with the win."</div> <div> From box three, Smart Blonde jumped well but trailed Thunder Puzzle who flew out from box 8 and led by 1-1/2 lengths at the post the first time.</div> <div> Smart Blonde and Runya Beach raced together behind it.</div> <div> Short-priced favourite Matching Outcome was slow away, last going out of the straight and never a chance.</div> <div> Smart Blonde, like her mother before her, tracks wide and did so in the back straight.</div> <div> She moved to a clear second at the 710m boxes but gave Thunder Puzzle a 3-1/2 length start.</div> <div> The red-fawn bitch stuck to her task and nabbed Thunder Puzzle in the last stride.</div> <div> Smart Blonde ran 30.58 and won by a head with Runya Beach another 1-1/4 lengths away in third place.</div> <div> ""I gave her mother away but we got a pup out of each litter," said Dunne who has a small kennel of four greyhounds at Walloon.</div> <div> "This bitch is the best in my yard as the others have virtually finished racing.</div> <div> “Unfortunately she is the last we will get from Runaway Rosie as a snake bit her and she died after she had Smart Blonde’s litter."</div> <div> Smart Blonde's victory was her 10th from 17 starts and her prizemoney is up to $9000.</div> <div> "I have had some offers for her but she has nearly won about what they offered," Dunne said.</div> <div> "She will make a good brood bitch and is the future of the yard </div> <div> Vic Peters - semi-finals </div> <bR> </tD> </tR>

<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate-My Dreams</B></FONT>) will race litter sister Millennium this Saturday night in a semi final of the Group 1 $50,000 Vic Peters (520m) at Wentworth Park.</div> <div> Last Thursday, Shadow Boxer ran the fastest of the 15 qualifying heats when defeating his lone opponent Daisy Baxter by 16 lengths in 29.88.</div> <div> The task of Millennium to qualify was a little tougher having had four opponents.</div> <div> She did well from box one to take the scalp of both Jayden's Rocket and Amelia Bale in 30.43.</div> <div> Millennium has the same box in the semi with Shadow Boxer in box six.</div> <div> The duo can both make the final on November 1 if they quinella the semi.</div> <div> Trainer Greg Brennan meticulously planned the Sydney assault by freshening up and trialling both greyhounds at Wentworth Park prior to the heats.</div> <div> Border hopper Intelligence will renew his rivalry with Katakolo in another semi.</div> <div> The pair dead-heated in the Lismore Classic on October 7 before Intelligence won a ballot to automatically qualify for the semi-final stage.</div> <div> Trainer Denise Robinson's had to requalify Katakolo and did so when he scored by a half head from Spring Admiral in a heat in 30.23.</div> <div> Intelligence will have a pipe opener for the series in an Albion Park best 8 (520m) on Monday night jumping from box one.</div> <div> He will take on Ipswich Auction winner Iron Steed and third placegetter Mobile Phantom.</div> <div> That pair will now skip the Ipswich Cup and aim for the Lismore Cup.</div> <div> Katakolo's kennelmate Ticabond could only manage third in a qualifying heat beaten 5-1/2 lengths by northern rivers greyhound Genista Thunder who ran 29.96.</div> <div> Ticabond is a reserve while the Neil Falls-trained Genista Thunder has draw box four in the second semi .</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFF99 HEIGHT= 524 WIDTH="557"><div> <B>Dean not just dreaming </B></div> <div> 16 October 2008</div> <div> By Chris Bassani</div> <div> Trainer Dean Turley has 100 dogs, two at stud (Excitability, Watch The Web), many brood bitches and a property at Leeville, just outside of Casino, where he also rears pups.</div> <div> The best of all these dogs is Fast Dream who jumped to the front in the best 8 over 710m at Albion Park tonight and won.</div> <div> Not that Turley was confident of a win.</div> <div> "Fast Dream usually jumps quickly but heads wide which can get her in trouble," he said.</div> <div> "That's what happened here last week when she ran sixth to Black Ruler.</div> <div> "And from box one tonight that was the worry."</div> <div> Happily the daughter of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate and Rapid Midnight</B></FONT> jump quickly and cleared rivals when she headed wide.</div> <div> At the first turn she was three lengths clear of Maxie, Nicely Done and One Missing who were three abreast and collided.</div> <div> One Missing got the worst of it.</div> <div> "I thought Maxie would beat us going into the race and she looked a danger down the back straight," Turley said.</div> <div> At that stage Maxie railed and hit the front.</div> <div> Approaching the final bend Fast Dream rallied and went back into the lead.</div> <div> Nicely Done tried to rail up on Maxie but was cut out costing it all chance.</div> <div> Fast Dream won by 1-1/2 lengths from Maxie with Nicely Done a 1/2 length away third in 42.65.</div> <div> It was Fast Dream's 14th victory from 45 starts and took her earnings to $28,800.</div> <div> "Early in her career she fell in a 520m race at this track and it took a while to get her back right," Turley said.</div> <div> "The minute we put her over 600m and beyond she shone.</div> <div> "We raced her at Wentworth Park a month ago but ran into Chinatown Lad.</div> <div> "I will probably go to Lismore with her next as there is a $5000

By Chris Bassani</div> <div> A fortnight ago the smarties at Wentworth Park where running around in a frenzy wondering who was the grey haired fellow with the dog who had just solo trialled 29.70.</div> <div> On Thursday night unless Greg Brennan dyes the "distinguish look" out they will see the man with that dog Shadow Boxer jumping from box eight in a heat of the Group 1 $50,000 to the winner Vic Peters (520m).</div> <div> Shadow Boxer, by <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate from In My Dreams</B></FONT>, hasn't raced since winning the Ipswich Derby on September 10.</div> <div> And those dog loving fans in Sydney are not the only ones who have since been impressed.</div> <div> Some three weeks ago Shadow Boxer ran 23.88 post to post at Albion Park, a super time and from that point Brennan sketched a plan to take in the Vic Peters.</div> <div> "Potentially he is the best dog I've had," Brennan said.</div> <div> "He is just flying, whatever he is doing lately he is just doing right.</div> <div> "He had an easy week after the Derby, a post to post at Albion Park, a trial in Sydney and then a little flutter at Ipswich where he went post to post running 24.72.</div> <div> "He has box eight in a heat on Thursday - that is perfect plus he is racing basically against maidens and fifth graders."</div> <div> Brennan is confident but knows Shadow Boxer's kryptonite, his slow get away, can always bring him down.</div> <div> "The Wentworth Park boxes are a flip top lid, they are a different type of starting mechanism and I was thinking maybe he could start a bit better from them but who knows," he said</div> <div> "From box eight he will stay out there and hopefully avoid any trouble.</div> <div> "A top class dog can run a first sectional at Wentworth Park in the 5.40s but he did it the other day in 5.62.</div> <div> "He will get behind, that is just him.</div> <div> Litter sister Millennium is on the same path after running a sizzling 30.37 in a Grade 5 final at Ipswich on September 17.</div> <div> "That time was a bit flattering as the track is on fire," Brennan said.</div> <div> "Ipswich is running about 3/10ths quick, but she trialled well at Wentworth Park as well and has drawn box one in a different heat.</div> <div> "Both dogs are in fields with only five or six dogs in them.</div> <div> "Millennium is up against Amelia Bale and Jayden's Rocket, both are city class and will give her a run.</div> <div> "If either of the dogs get knocked out early in the series, I can always put them in the Ipswich Cup and then the Lismore Cup later on."</div> <div> Last week's Albion Park winner Ticabond has drawn box eight in a different heat and will compete against Genista Thunder in box one.</div> <div> Mantra Lad is entered in the Vic Peters but is likely to be scratched due to his inclusion in the Topgun.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFF99 HEIGHT= 782 WIDTH="557"><div> <B>No Illusions just a star </B></div> <div> Courtesy GRAQ Website<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> 6 October 2008</div> <div> By Chris Bassani</div> <bR> <div> Tully trained galloper Illusion Star is likely to get a chance of a serious campaign at Albion Park next month after a runaway win in the Cairns Futurity on Saturday.</div> <bR> <div> Trainer Susan Godfrey was surprised by the 15-1/2 lengths trouncing Illusion Star gave rivals over 544m in 31.63.</div> <bR> <div> That time bettered her previous by 100th of a second and was a touch over a tenth outside the track record still held by Toolibuk who ran 31.52 in July 2000.</div> <div> "I was worried she hadn't returned back to her best after she had fractured a hock last year," Godfrey said.</div> <bR> <div> "Her lead up runs weren't as good as we had hoped."</div> <div> Starting from box five Illusion Star jumped straight to the lead and vindicated the Cairns Dog of the Year title she won last year.</div> <bR> <div> Starting $1.60 favourite, the win was her 17th at Cairns from 28 starts taking her prizemoney to over $10,000 - All up she has won 24 races.</div> <bR> <div> Illusion Star (<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Hallucinate-Four Way Star</B></FONT>) raced once at Albion Park when Godfrey and husband Dennis went down for the Greyhound of the Year awards back in February 2007.</div> <bR> <div> She ran third over 395m from box 8 not having stepped foot on the track prior to the race - it was her third race start.</div> <bR> <div> Six months later she strung seven wins in a row together at Cairns and Townsville convincing the Godfrey's they should send her south to have a serious crack at the big time and Albion Park.</div> <bR> <div> Stationed with Byron Miller in Northern NSW in September 2007, she won another four in a row at Lismore and Casino.</div> <bR> <div> Shortly after the black bitch broke down and came back to Tully without racing at Albion Park at that campaign.</div> <bR> <div> She was off the scene for five months and returned in April this year.</div> <div> "She deserves her chance in town," Godfrey said.</div> <bR> <div> "She is back in top form now and we have a couple of dogs really going well including a young one called Gunnadoo Light.</div> <bR> <div> "If he continues to improve his times over the next couple of weeks we will send a few dogs down in about a month."</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#006600 HEIGHT= 18 WIDTH="557"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="18" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="557" HSPACE="0"
