Tornado Tears in doubt for Association Cup

Tornado Tears is in doubt for Saturday nights Group 1 Association Cup.

“He has torn his pad during his Association Cup heat win,” said a disappointed Britton.

“We have started treating it by taking him down to the beach to be in the salt water.”

“It’s a superficial injury not being muscle or bone, so all we can do is wait and see how it heals.”

“I wont be mucking around with it.”

“He is a high profile greyhound so if he isn’t 100% he wont be going around.”

Tornado Tears has drawn box six and is the $1.20 TAB favourite to claim the Group 1 Association Cup.
Dyna Chancer is Victoria’s second hope in the Association Cup after winning his heat in a time of 41.94sec.

The Steven Bruce White trained Boom Down is the second reserve after bombing the start but running home to finish fifth in Dyna Chancer’s heat.

The Association Cup and Golden Easter Egg Finals will be run at Saturday night at Wentworth Park.
