Cup final (490m) at Kanyana Park following a brilliant display during her heat last weekend.
The rising superstar from Linda Britton’s kennels annihilated her opposition with a blistering
front-running display which left onlookers in no doubt that she is the best greyhound racing
in WA at the moment.
Jumping from ‘the lemon’, box five, Star Recall launched straight to the front and was never
in danger as she surged to the finish line nearly nine lengths ahead in the very quick time of
27.12.
She is now undefeated in nine attempts on the Mandurah circuit and is racing in career
Star Recall will be joined by kennelmates Burundi, Gomes and Proven Will in the final but her
biggest threat is the Christine Robartson-trained Last Day.
Last Day won his heat in impressive fashion when he sweep the lead from box eight and
stormed away to score in 27.41.
He loves racing on the Peel surface and is more suited from an inside draw in the final so if
any greyhound in the final is going to give the favourite grief it’s likely to be him.

VETERAN RACING
RWWA has committed to the implementation of a National
Greyhound Welfare Strategy in conjunction with all Australasian
Greyhound Racing Jurisdictions, all of whom are members of the national peak body Greyhounds Australasia.
One part of that strategy includes maximising racing opportunities for all racing greyhounds and extending their
racing career whenever possible. RWWA is of the belief that this is a critical concept in WA, given the current
difficulties being experienced in sourcing quality interstate racing stock to race here. Therefore extending the racing
life of greyhounds already racing in WA will go some way to addressing the situation.
To commence this process, RWWA has created a new non-feature race for greyhounds that are nearing the end of
their racing careers in which they will have an opportunity to race against similar-aged greyhounds.
This initial Veteran Race concept will be implemented on a trial basis and following a review; more detailed Veteran
Racing concepts will be discussed and developed into Grading Policy prior to any implementation in OzChase. The
initial concept of conducting these races as one-off non-feature series finals allows the trial to proceed without any
concept of veteran racing in current Grading Policy.
The initial age eligibility to compete in these races will be for greyhounds whelped on, or before a date 42 months
prior to the actual meeting date. This age restriction has been based upon a review of the age of greyhounds that
have recently raced in WA and will be subject to ongoing review as the pool of Veteran chasers potentially increases.
The Cannington Wednesday and Saturday meetings effective from Wednesday 8 October and Saturday 11 October
respectively, will contain the following race types:
•
Wednesday – 1 division of a Provincial Grade 5 530m Veteran race with total stakes of $1,690 ($1,125 to the
winner)
•
Saturday - 1 division of a Provincial Open Grade (1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) 530m Veteran race with total stakes of $2,295
($1,525 to the winner). Greyhounds must be City Sprint Grade 5 to be eligible.
These races will initially be non-penalty to the winner, but will remain full award to any unplaced runners. The form
from Veterans races will rank equally with normal Provincial Class races for the moment, until Grading Policy relating
to Veteran Racing has been established.
These initial Veterans Races will be programmed as one-off finals, hence reserves will be seeded.
Nominators are encouraged to provide second preferences back to regular Graded Races for their greyhounds during
this trial period.
