Belfast Johnny Salutes In Stunning Vic Peters Classic Victory

All eight runners went into tonight's One Vic Peters Classic final with a genuine chance of taking out the title. As the lids opened, one dog had his eye firmly on the prize and made his trainer $75,000 richer.

Beginning beautiful from box two, the son of and Wongawillisue was never headed in a 29.63 display by 5.5 lengths, defeating Whata Good Size who was gallant in defeat for and Avondale Porche flew home to run third for Beau Hedley.

Notching up his 8th win tonight from just 11 starts, Belfast Johnny turned heads last week when he clocked a flying 29.67 semi final win and before that sizzled around the one turn track at over the 450m, clocking a near-record personal best of 24.97.

A dream was realised tonight for Blacktown trainer Troy Vella, who trains just two greyhounds out of his Western Sydney backyard and can now call himself a Group One winning trainer.

A full wrap up and interview with Troy will be posted shortly.
