Gippsland star snares St. Leger

Freakishly talented Kilmany greyhound Mr. Audacious won the $37,250 Warragul St. Leger Final on Friday night in a sizzling front-running display.

Rachael Bussitil’s sprinter made it 12 wins from 15 starts when clocking a scorching 25.54sec.

Meanwhile, Sally Intention ($8.90) – trained at Pearcedale by Todd O’Neill – made her intentions felt in the $9170 President’s Cup (680m).

The Pink Diamond Rookie Distance runner-up snared a $6250 first prize, clocking 39.58sec. It was her fourth win from 21 starts.

And Dynamic Prince ($1.40F) – prepared at Devon Meadows by Peter Presutto – reigned supreme in the $7335 Simon Benson Memorial final (460m).

The G2 Shepparton Cup finalist took home a $5000 winner’s purse, semaphoring a smart 25.55sec. It was his 16^th win from 40 starts and his fifth from eight exiting box two.

WATCH: Mr. Audacious led virtually all the way in the Warragul St. Leger.
