Interstate Raiders Headline 2011 Triple M 40th Adelaide Cup Nominations
At closing time today, GRSA had received a total of 56 nominations for the 2011 Triple M 40th Adelaide Cup.
Predictably, the $75,000 to the winner race series has attracted a plethora of interstate greyhounds and their trainers, hoping to secure the prize.
Headlining the nominations is the Kelly Bravo trained greyhound Kilty Lad, who is attempting to become the only greyhound in living history to win 2 Adelaide Cups in the one year.
Kilty Lad is one of 27 nominations from Victorian greyhounds, who include 8 Graeme Bate trained greyhounds including 2011 Golden Easter Egg winner Radley Bale, and 2011 Peter Mosman winner and 2011 Paws Of Thunder finalist Allen Harper.
Interestingly, amongst the 3 recent Sandown Park track record breakers, only the Jamie Ennis trained Cape Hawke is nominated to contest the series.
The Neil Falls trained 2011 National Sprint Championship runner-up Cold Fusion is the only non Victorian greyhound nominated for the 2011 Adelaide Cup.
The 28 nominated South Australian trained greyhounds, still reeling from being the only state not to have secured a 2011 Topgun invitation, will all be out to become the first locally trained greyhound to win the Group 1 Adelaide Cup since the Troy Murray trained Miss Spicy won in 2006.
