Best Multicam Black Top Ever At The Gardens
There have been some great winners of the Group Two Multicam Black Top since its inception in 2005, including the 2009 Australian Greyhound of the Year, Cindeen Shelby and Group One winner One Tree Hill, but tonight’s running is the best overall line up of greyhounds in the race’s short, but illustrious history.
In an open final, worth $35,000 to the winner, veteran chaser Snozz will more than likely be the punter’s elect at jump time. Trained by champion Hunter Valley mentor Jason MacKay, Snozz was the fastest qualifier, running 29.51 in last week’s heat.
“He’s rising four years of age and it would probably be quicker to go through the injuries he hasn’t had rather than list the injuries he has had, but at the moment he is going the best he has ever gone†said MacKay.
