Matt Corby CEO, Greyhound Racing SA [email protected] An official publication of Greyhound Racing SA NEWS 4 Kennel Capers edition031 OUR LOCAL BEST LACHLAN BROWN SHINES AT ADELAIDE CUP By Jen Halman Although Fernando Bale was the main attraction at the 2015 Adelaide Cup another great story is local boy Lachlan Brown, who at only 21 months of age placed second in the Final. The young gun is named after father Lochinvar Marlow and mother Liza Brown. Lochie is trained by Barossa native Paula Hearnden. Paula had been living on Kangaroo Island but returned to Angaston three years ago to take over the “Long Gully” greyhounds after her father passed away. Paula became involved in the sport through her father who trained as a hobby for ten years. Going into the Cup heats Lachlan Brown had only raced 5 times which included an Angle Park Maiden placing over the 515m and then 4 wins in succession over the 400m at Gawler. He came out in the heats at headquarters on October 1st and ran a flying 29.83 when he was able to lead throughout. The win gave him a spot in the Cup Final where he was gallant in defeat behind superstar Fernando Bale, running a personal best time of 29.77. With seven starts resulting in five wins and two placings we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Lochie. Lachlan Brown and Paula Hearnden heading to the boxes at the Adelaide Cup Final Paula is also excited about some Long Gully Libby pups she is currently breaking in who she hopes will develop nicely on the track in the coming months. She loves seeing a young pup come through and show its potential and she has certainly seen that with Lachlan Brown. Paula’s training routine involves continuing to do what her dad taught her: keep them fit and healthy. In regards to the recent negativity surrounding our industry, she tries to ignore the news. She knows she does the right thing and believes the majority of the participants do. Like all of us, Paula hopes greyhound racing will come out the other side a bigger and better industry. N L OW R B N A L ACH Kennel Capers edition031 5 NEWS FERNANDO BALE BECOMES WORLD’S FIRST MILLION DOLLAR GREYHOUND By Shaun Mathieson Last Friday night at Angle Park history was made when champion sprinter Fernando Bale became the first greyhound to break through the $1 million dollar mark in prizemoney when he blew away a strong Group 1 Adelaide Cup field leaving them lamenting in his wake. With history in the making there was an air of confidence as the superstar made his way to the boxes in front of a large vocal crowd on a beautiful night in Adelaide. The Dailly camp seemed to absorb the pressure and take it in their stride even with owner Paul Wheeler making the trip to the festival state. He was on hand to witness one of the most brilliant performances seen on the Angle Park circuit with Fernando Bale running a brilliant 29.20 in winning by over 5 lengths. Again, he wasn’t super out of the boxes however his drive to the first turn saw him race to the front and from there he waved goodbye to the chasing pack. The large crowd was in awe of the champion, clapping mid race as he extended his lead. Lachlan Brown for SA did a terrific job to keep close to the champ but faded a little in the run to the line. At only his 7th career start he held on gamely for local trainer Paula Hearnden giving her one of the biggest thrills she has had in greyhound racing. Kayda Shae battled on well for Kelly Bravo to run another Group placing in finishing third but there was no stopping Fernando Bale. His winning time ranks him in the top 5 greyhounds that have competed at Angle Park and took his prizemoney to $1,006,110 which sits him atop the tree in prizemoney won anywhere in the world. Adelaide saw one of the all-time greats last Friday create history in Fernando Bale and for that we thank the Dailly camp and owner Paul Wheeler and wish them every bit of success in the future. Owner Paul Wheeler with trainers Andrea and Tom Dailly 6 Kennel Capers edition031 FERNANDO BALE •Ten Group 1 wins •Kelsos Fusileer x Chloe Allen •Whelped March 2013 •38 starts •31 wins 4 placings •$1,006,110 career prizemoney It was an easy win for the champ. Kennel Capers edition031 7 Kennel Capers edition029 9 PROJECTS UPDATE PROJECTS UPDATE SCOTT WUCHATSCH SLIPPING TRACK The slipping track has been in operation for several weeks now and GRSA staff have received many positive comments regarding the presentation of the track. Usage has been solid, with 32 trainers now having registered for after-hours access with GRSA administration. The maintenance team is continuing to monitor the issue of small stones appearing on the track, however it does not appear to be a major issue. Over the coming week a water tap will be positioned immediately outside the main access gate for greyhounds after they have been exercised on the track. A number of improvements are being investigated including: • A second access gate near the greyhound empty yard • A hand operated lure system (the AGRC are exploring options) • Additional sand to reduce the gradient of the dip in the middle of the track The new empty yard came into operation on Adelaide Cup night and will now be used for all other race meetings and trial sessions. ANGLE PARK KENNEL HOUSE Planning is underway for the final stage of the Angle Park kennel house refurbishment. Over the past few months the kennel house has received a minor facelift with replacement of the roof, repair and painting of the walls and installation of LED lighting. The final stage will involve the removal of carpet in the control area and recoating of the entire floor in an epoxy non-slip coating. This will be followed by new stainless steel kennel cages throughout. It is anticipated that the project will commence in late November and will require the transfer of Angle Park race meetings to other venues to allow a window of 5-6 days to undertake the work. GRSA is also continuing to investigate a solution to ensure cold water is delivered to the greyhound 10 Kennel Capers edition031 wash bays on hot race days. A solution is proving to be difficult to identify at a reasonable cost, however management is committed to installing a solution within the next few weeks. MOUNT GAMBIER IRRIGATION SYSTEM The Mount Gambier Club has commenced installation of an automated track irrigation system and associated water storage infrastructure. The system will be based on similar systems around the country and will improve the Club’s ability to maintain moisture levels in the track, particularly over the warmer summer months. In addition to the irrigation system, representatives of the Angle Park maintenance team will visit the Club to provide advice and onsite training on track preparation and use of the new watering system. This training is expected to occur at some point in November and aims to ensure the best quality appearance, consistency and safety of the racing surface. MCQUEEN’S TAVERN GENERAL FRONTAGE Participants may have noticed landscaping works undertaken at the front of McQueen’s Tavern to improve the overall appearance of the venue. Garden beds have been created and some established trees have been planted, and whilst the impact of these improvements will not be noticeable in the short term, they will dramatically improve the aesthetics of the venue in the long term. ADELAIDE CUP A final note of congratulations to the GRSA maintenance team on how Angle Park was presented on Adelaide Cup night. A lot of hard work has gone on behind the scenes by the entire team to get the venue looking so sharp, ably led by new Head of Industry Maintenance Terry Winder. A special mention to David Rundle who once again presented a safe and consistent racing surface throughout the Derby, Oaks and Cup series’.

If it is not possible to facilitate such a transfer within a reasonable timeframe, Day and Twilight meetings for which the projected temperature exceeds 40˚C at 8:00am on the morning of the scheduled event will automatically be cancelled at that time. On the basis of an extreme hot weather forecast, a decision may be made prior to that time to cancel at the absolute discretion of the Integrity and Standards Manager. Where the projected temperature exceeds 40˚C at 5:00pm on the Friday preceding the affected event, it will automatically be cancelled at that time. On the basis of an extreme hot weather forecast, a decision may be made prior to that time to cancel at the absolute discretion of the Integrity and Standards Manager.

The following conditions apply: • The forecast for the venue’s regional centre must be 38˚C or higher at the time of scratching • Applications to scratch all nominated greyhounds from the same trainer under this policy must be made prior to the official scratching time. If a greyhound is withdrawn after that time the normal 10 day penalty will apply. • Trainers cannot scratch their greyhounds selectively – all runners for that trainer must be withdrawn (excludes greyhounds on GRSA’s official Heat Stress Register) • The temperature will be sourced from Weatherzone – www.weatherzone.com.au – and will link venues to regional centres in accordance with the following: GRSA VENUE CORRESPONDING REGIONAL CENTRE This policy will be applied regardless of whether the meeting in question is a Day, Twilight or Night meeting. It will also be considered a breach of this policy for a greyhound listed on the register to trial when the forecasted temperature is 38 degrees or higher for the corresponding regional centre on that day other than for morning trial sessions. CANCELLATION OF RACE MEETING OR TRIAL SESSION GRSA will make every endeavour to announce any cancellation or rescheduling of a race meeting by 8:00am that morning via the industry text service and any other vehicles that it deems appropriate. Radio TAB will be advised of any relevant information. Trials may be cancelled at any time up until 4 hours prior to the scheduled commencement of the trial session.

Kennel Capers edition031 13 INTEGRITY AND STANDARDS GREYHOUND PRODUCTS 23rd of September 2015 Important Notice: Voluntary Recall of Sprinter Gold® Results Plus™ Attention: Australian Greyhound Trainers and Owners As you may be aware, there are new Racing Rules defining a limit to the level of cobalt in the urine of racing greyhounds. We wish to notify all greyhound trainers that Sprinter Gold® Results Plus™ contains cobalt, as this supplement is a comprehensive vitamin and trace-mineral formulation for racing greyhounds. Sprinter Gold® Greyhound Products has not received indication that supplementation of Results Plus™ would exceed the new limit for cobalt excretion in greyhounds, but there is uncertainty about the maximum level of oral cobalt dosage under the latest regulations. Therefore, as many trainers have expressed concerns about supplements containing cobalt, we have decided to recall Sprinter Gold® Results Plus. We ask you to cease using the supplement and contact us on Freecall 1800 112 227 to arrange return of any size pack of Results Plus™ for a full refund at the recommended retail price of your specific pack size. We will accept all full or partly used packs of Results Plus™ during this recall period. Please do not give the recalled Results Plus™ to your greyhounds. We are formulating a new supplement without cobalt to replace the recalled Results Plus™ and you may request a sample pack of this new product as a replacement. All other Sprinter Gold products for racing greyhounds do not contain cobalt and are not affected by this recall.

Kennel Capers edition031 15 A FAMILY NEWS Passion By Jen Halman 16 Kennel Capers edition031 C ameron Butcher purchased his first pup from Howard Ashton in 1964 after he saw greyhounds race at Waterloo Corner earlier that year. He got his second greyhound, a 12 month old, after paying 25 pound to a lad who was getting married and short on funds. Pivotoff was his name and with little experience won his first race. Cameron’s father became hooked and started breeding after purchasing Pivotoff’s Mother. One of her offspring, Mistoff, was Greyhound of the Year and Trevor Butcher named Trainer of the Year. Then came Tatachilla, a good dog in his time. Cameron and his wife Yvonne purchased a farm at Hope Forest in 1970 and continued to help Trevor and rear pups. They moved to Meningie in 1988 and no longer had time for greyhounds, but in 2009 decided to get a pup. They had few winners in Mr Menance and Alana Blues and they then purchased two pups from Alan McCulloch’s Litttle Looper Line. Hope’s Up was produced, their best dog to date. Cam and Yvonne have had good dogs from the line. Worm Burner and She’s A Looper are currently showing something special and have great hopes. The Butchers free run their dogs in a 30 acre paddock daily and hand slip between races. They don’t use a walking machine as the dogs seem to do well free running. Life is hectic on the farm at times with cattle, sheep and general farm management, but Cameron is always seen on the quad bike am and pm keeping an eye on the dogs while they are exercising. Karen and Sean lived in a shed on their block - they built kennels before they built their house! Daughter-in-law Karen Butcher became interested when Cameron and Yvonne got involved again in 2009. Karen and husband Sean sold their house in Coromandel Valley and bought five acres in Strathalbyn in January 2011 so that they could get into greyhounds more seriously. Cameron bought Karen and Sean their very first puppy and shortly after they bought themselves a second pup. They increased to owning six dogs and had some success, but none of them were champions. In 2013, due to family commitments and time constraints, Cameron started training Karen’s dogs and took on Sidney’s Shadow as an 18 month old who went on to be very successful and won SA Bred Greyhound of the Year for 2014. She has been Karen’s best dog so far. She has retired now and is part of the family as a pet, but they plan to breed from her soon. Karen is currently in the process of getting her breeders licence. Although Karen is not currently training any dogs, they own six pups that Cameron and Yvonne have bred themselves, and two of them are from the same Dam as Sidney’s Shadow. The Butcher’s are all excited to see how they progress. It has been a hard year in the media for racing. The Butcher’s don’t think live baiting has any place in the sport and feel those that choose to use live bait deserve to have the full force of the law come down on them (and be banned for life). Karen’s eleven year old daughter wrote a persuasive writing piece for a school assignment on ‘Keep Greyhound Racing Alive’ (see page 26), so the sport is definitely something the family is passionate about. “The Four Corners story made me feel sick to my stomach. And then the aftermath was frustrating because you have the public who, before they saw this story, had no knowledge of greyhound racing as a sport, but all of a sudden are being vocal about banning racing. They think that because a handful of trainers interstate were doing the wrong thing, that all trainers must be involved. When in actual fact, they have no clue about the industry and how trainers actually care for their dogs.” Karen Butcher Kennel Capers edition031 17 RACING REPORT RACING MANAGERS REPORT BY SHAUN MATHIESON 2015 GREYHOUND AUCTION ON SUNDAY 25TH OCTOBER AT ANGLE PARK opportunity to recover some of their expenditure and the breeder greater opportunity to receive breeder bonuses.

GREYHOUND OF THE MONTH – SEPTEMBER Greyhound of the Month for September was the Cameron Butcher trained Worm Burner who had a terrific month of racing winning 4 of his 5 starts highlighted by his heat and final win of the Classic 2015 Prelude (1) series, he just edged out Springvale Clint who was undefeated in his 6 starts for the month. The son of Oaks Road and Little Looper started the month off in brilliant fashion with a sizzling 29.93 win in Grade 6 company before being unplaced in a heat of the Group 3 SA Derby. At his next start he again impressed with a slick 29.80 win at headquarters before starting a short priced favourite for the 2015 Classic Prelude (1) series. In the heats he just arrived in time to take the prize and again in the final he was able to overcome trouble and win by the shortest of margins in a solid 30.02. The MichaelKris Real Estate Gawler Gold Cup carnival will also be run over three meetings. The carnival will kick off on Friday 23rd October with $1,025 heats of the Gawler Sprint Classic for open 400m greyhounds and $1,070 heats of the Gawler Stayers Cup for open 643m greyhounds.

On the 21st September at Angle Park, She’s A Looper was having her 2nd lifetime start in the final of a Maiden series over the 515m. The daughter of Oaks Road and Little Looper began nicely to find the front in a handy 4.52 lead time however from there she carved out brilliant sectionals running 16.91 to the back and then home in 12.71 running a sizzling 29.62 in winning by 13 lengths. 2015 NOVEMBER GAWLER GOLD CUP The February edition of the Gawler Gold Cup was run with Gun McBain taking out the Group 3 feature due to the redevelopment of the new facility. For the second time this year the Gawler Cup will be run with a new major sponsor in MichaelKris Real Estate.

The race is supported by the GOTBA and carries prizemoney of $4,415. Nominations close with GRSA at 9.00am on Monday 2nd November ANGLE PARK SLIPPING TRACK Works are completed on the Angle Park slipping track and participant access has been permitted. A newly defined empty out area is ready at the southern end of the trainer’s car park to be used by trainers during race days and trial sessions, and for participants frequenting the slipping track. It is hoped that the slipping track will assist metropolitan trainers for many years to come and provide a replacement for previously available public slipping tracks around inner Adelaide. GRSA will continue to focus on providing easily accessible and well maintained training and trialling infrastructure for participants. With access to the Slipping Track being restricted the side access gate to the Trainers Car Park will be locked outside of normal business hours which will mean no access to the out of hours nominations box. PORT AUGUSTA ON MELBOURNE CUP DAY The Port Augusta Greyhound Racing Club will again have a Non TAB meeting on Melbourne Cup Day Tuesday 3rd November.

SUPER BONUS FOR SA BRED IN 2015/2016 The super-bonus scheme is premised upon a 100% dividend to breeders FOR SA Bred greyhounds. The following is a summary of the bonus by race: RACE SUPER-BONUS Adelaide Cup (515m) - G1 $12,500 Adelaide Cup finalist $1,000 BGC SA Derby (515m) – G3 $3,500 Coffex Coffee SA Oaks(515m) – G3 $3,500 Gawler Gold Cup (531m) - G3 $3,500 GROUP 1 victory (interstate) $7,500 Nominations for the heats close with GRSA at 9.00am on Tuesday 10th November GROUP 2 victory (interstate) $3,500 2016 GAWLER PRODUCE STAKES The super-bonuses for interstate events will only be applied for series/events that are open entry.

The 2016 Gawler Produce Stakes will be run by GRSA in conjunction with the Gawler Greyhound Racing Club. Once again we will offer guaranteed Final Stakemoney, which will be $22,000. The estimate for the total series prizemoney is $40,000, based on this year’s series. The series is for greyhounds whelped in 2014. 22 Kennel Capers edition031 GROUP 3 victory (interstate) $1,750 CHANGE IN PAPERWORK FOR PRIZEMONEY From 1st November 2015 the paperwork for directing prizemoney will change. In the past the paperwork refers to the owner directing where which account the prizemoney goes. GRSA has had no option but to direct all greyhounds owned by that person into their specific account. From 1st November the paperwork will refer to the greyhound so this will provide flexibility for each owner to have different conditions (if required) for each greyhound. For example if an owner has 10 dogs with prizemoney all going into the same account under the same conditions then they only need to fill out one form naming all 10 greyhounds however if there are 10 different agreements for these greyhounds then they will need to complete 10 different forms for each dog. As previously advised it is up to the owner of the greyhound to ensure prizemoney paperwork has been lodged prior to the greyhound racing to ensure payment is made correctly. **All existing prizemoney accounts remain the same unless directed by the owners and updated account information is provided** ANNUAL GRADING REVIEW MEETING IN NOVEMBER On November 6th GRSA will be conducting the Grading Review Panel meeting. This review is conducted annually and aims to provide a comprehensive and formalised process with objectives being an improved grading system, enhanced review of rules and policies, reduced grading complaints and increased participant satisfaction with the system. The current panel will be asked to contribute to the review at the meeting. The panel is as follows – Shaun Mathieson – Racing Manager GRSA Matt Corby – CEO GRSA Greg Barber – Grader GRSA Dr. Chris Doyle – GRSA Board Industry Representative Petar Jovanovic – Public Trainer Neil Mann – Public Trainer Anthony McLean – Public Trainer John Vivian – Public Trainer Vaun Gray – Involved in Wagering Kim Johnstone – Public Trainer Gavin Harris - Public Trainer Prior to this meeting, agenda items will be sought by way of industry consultation. This will be by way of consultation sessions at meetings, dealing specifically with grading items and also correspondence from participants. Based on all the information collected an agenda will be formulated in late October and sent to the Grading Review Panel to be discussed at the review. INDUSTRY MEETINGS TO BE CONDUCTED In the next 6 months GRSA will be conducting Industry meetings with the dates set out below. It would be GRSA’s intention to have – • Grading Review Panel –Friday 6th November 2015 • Industry Consultative Group – Friday 11th December 2015 • Feature Race Panel – Friday 5th February 2016 • Breeding Task Force – Friday 11th March 2016 • Industry Consultative Group – Friday 8th April 2016 Some of these panels will need to have their members updated however GRSA believes it is very important that these meetings are conducted.

Now is the time to plan for coping with very hot days to ensure your greyhounds are not put at risk of heat stress or heat illness. Dogs are particularly vulnerable to heat illness and 50% of affected dogs die. Heat illness may occur if a dog’s temperature exceeds 41.5°C and the dog is not immediately cooled. The average temperature recorded in greyhounds, following hard exercise is 41°C, so greyhounds are at high risk of heat illness. If a dog’s temperature remains at or above 41.5°C for even short periods, serious damage may occur: vital organs such as the heart, liver and the lining of the intestine break down. When such tissues are damaged, a dog will suffer from internal haemmhorage and toxaemia and death will occur 24 to 48 hours later. It is important to realize that dogs may not show effects of heat illness at the time of heat stress but they may die later. Following are strategies and suggestions to ensure the health and welfare of dogs during summer. KENNELS 1. Paint exteriors with heat reflective paints and install insulation, at least under the roof, this will reduce the heat load. In small kennels foam panels, batts or foil can be readily installed by a handyman, just ensure they are out of dog reach ! In large sheds, spray on treatments may be an easier option. 2. Install an evaporative cooler or air conditioner if the shed is fully enclosed. If lucky enough to have cheap water, a soaker hose along the roof will reduce heat gain and the effects can be enhanced with fans in the shed. DOGS 1. Ensure dogs have plenty of cool water all day. If a dog is inclined to paddle, provide two water containers, one fixed at dog head height to the fence and one large, heavy one at ground level. Freeze water in large blocks to leave in containers. 2. In yards, ensure drink water containers are shaded all day, water soon heats up in the sun. Shade cloth should be erected if trees do not provide shade and sprinklers or soaker hoses can be used to cool areas. Shells or troughs to paddle or lie in are also appreciated by most dogs. 3. Large, dark coloured (black, blue and brindle) dogs are more susceptible to heat than are small or light coloured (fawn and mostly white) dogs so take particular care of dark coloured dogs. 27 Kennel Capers edition031 EXERCISE 1. Aim to complete all exercise by 10am. 2. Do not gallop or trial dogs if the temperature is over 30°C, dogs start to feel the effects of heat when the temperature reaches 30°C. 3. After strenuous exercise, the average greyhound’s temperature is 41°C which is the equivalent of a serious fever, it is essential to cool dogs down. 4. Hose dogs all over with water after exercise, scrape off excess water and repeat hosing if the dog is panting heavily. Cooling jackets may be applied. 5. Do not place hot, wet dogs in closed trailers: temperature and humidity will rise to dangerous levels very quickly. TRANSPORT 1. Air conditioned vans provide the best option for transporting dogs and are being used by many trainers but they may not be practical for everyone. 2. Trailers should be constructed of insulated material and provide plenty of ventilation through side vents and roof spinners. 3. Front and rear vents should be opened any time a trailer is parked but should not be open when the vehicle is moving as they suck carbon monoxide laden exhaust fumes into the trailer. 4. Cooling jackets may help keep dogs cool but some brands only retain moisture for an hour, after which they will cause dogs to heat up. Use of cooling jackets will also increase the levels of humidity in a trailer, which may increase the risk of heat illness. RACING 1. Consider weather forecasts when planning nominations and take into consideration the time of day when transport will occur and if any dogs are particularly susceptible to heat stress eg large, dark or excitable dogs. 2. Be prepared to travel early or late to avoid the hottest time of day, racetrack kennels are opened early on hot days. 3. Take advantage of fans and cooling jackets to keep dogs cool prior to racing and use cooling baths to cool dogs after racing. 4. Leave dogs in cooled kennels for at least 30 minutes after racing.
