Breeding: December ‘20 Bernardo x Rolanda Hooch

Record: 34 starts 15-5-2

#3 YOUR COLOUR ROOM (Box 3)
Breeding:
Jan ‘21 Zambora Brockie x Pretty Bomb
Trainer: Andrew Paraskevas (Pearcedale)
Record: 28 starts 13-7-2

Dale says: For pure time standard alone this run by YOUR COLOUR ROOM has to feature. Didn’t get it all his own way early but still managed to post a cracking 25.67sec on a Warragul track that was not conducive to fast times.

#4 COSMIC BRUCE (Box 5)
Breeding:
Jul ‘20 Cosmic Rumble x Daisy Lara
Trainer: Darlene McIntyre (Exford)
Record: 20 starts 4-1-1

Dale says: You would be hard pressed to find a greyhound that goes around at odds greater than $55, comes out last, covers extra ground and gets turned sideways yet still manages to win, but that’s exactly what COSMIC BRUCE did in this unlikely victory.

#5 DUNDEE RAIDER (Box 4)
Breeding:
Oct ’19 Barts Outofmyway x Dundee Calypso
Trainer: Aaron Farley (Churchill)
Record: 10 starts 1-2-2

Dale says: In his third start back from a remarkable 654-day spell, this victory was wonderful reward for persistence for connections. After totally bombing the start, DUNDEE RAIDER turned on a railing exhibition on his way to recording a memorable win.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

MORTALITY (Box 5)
Breeding:
Oct ‘21 Kinloch Brae x Zita
Trainer: Paul Abela (Parwan)
Record: 2 starts 0-2-0

Dale says: Backed off the map in this his debut run, MORTALITY had no right to finish a desperately unlucky second here after absolutely being poleaxed out to last. Certainly a dog to add to your Blackbook.
