Coursing Treble To Harvey And Double To Johnstone

Written By Kevin Pitstock, Editor & Australian Greyhound Racing Expert Contributor Monday 20th April 2009

Murray Harvey came coursing and went home with 3 winners; Kim Johnstone came coursing and went home with 2 winners.

It makes you wonder why more trainer don’t go coursing? Why don’t you go coursing and see how many winners you can go home with?

As a point of interest, from the greyhounds who competed at the last meeting 10 went on and won on the circle – what does this tell you? Think about it.

An impressive display was handed in by Lynette Simes’ Dakota Octane (Pure Octane x Dakota Diva) when winning the feature event, Cairnsy’s Pet Food & Fodder Novice from Yvonne Maxwell’s Conner’s Angel in 15.17 – watch out for this greyhound, he’s most impressive.

Murray Harvey’s 3 winners were 2 litter mates, Bitta Spirit and Bitta Beer (Bitta Awesome/Wedding Kiss) and Airbag (Bombastic Shiraz/Bellharz Sunset).
