Congratulations to Butch Deverell and Shane Whiney, and their dogs will be outstanding representatives for Tasmanian greyhound racing in the national finals.
Tara and Jade Appeal
The Hobart Greyhound Racing Club did
their bit to help Bishopsbourne
based trainers Jade and Tara after fire destroyed their home while the
pair attended
a Launceston greyhound race meeting. The 31 July HGRC race meeting
raised $4,800
to help them recover.
The HGRC Committee were overwhelmed by the support from Betfair, Tote, the TRC, Tas Pacing Club, Harness Racing Council, Thoroughbred Racing Council, industry stalwarts Greg Fahey and Barry Heawood, while special thanks goes to Lyn Pursell for her efforts.
The HGRC thanks all the patrons for their generosity and support on the night.
Betfair Breeders Classic Final
A top quality field lined up for this year’s final. The results were history making with Jillian Stamford clean sweeping first, second and third places, and the breeder’s bonuses.
Jillian also qualified pre post favourite Charcoal Creek, but he was scratched after being sold.
The winner, Capetown Bomber, put in a superb performance throughout the Betfair Classic Breeder’s series and is destined for Top Grade. Fine Line came in second and Captain Harry finished a promising third in a quality field that contested the final.
Congratulations on an amazing effort.
Greyhound of the Month
Marananga Moss
This month’s award is to Marananga Moss, owned by Clint Walker and trained by Toby Taylor.

Marananga Moss puts in terrific effort as she contents
invitation races each week. Toby only has a small team but they are
super competitive every start. Keep winning Champ.
