The impressive Green Blazer (pictured with Dale Chapman) continued the hot start to his career with a dominant win at Sandown Park last night.
The 2019 National Greyhound Draft graduate was just fair to begin but soon gathered momentum to push up and lead first time past the post. From there he made the race his own and won by 5L in a sharp time of 29.45.
“I was pretty happy. I hoped he would begin better than he did but the way he accelerated afterwards was nice to see,” said trainer Jason Sharp.
Green Blazer, or ‘David’ as he’s casually known, was drafted to Team TAB which consists of many owners and connections enjoying the ride that it has already been.
“They’re a really engaged group and loving the experience so far,” said syndicate manager George Farrugia.
“I’ve had a lot of questions from them asking about a range of things, which is just great as for a lot of them it’s their first time involved in greyhounds.”
‘David’ is the first of Team TAB’s three greyhounds to race and the second will debut today at Townsville.
“Her name is All Focus and trained by Scott Atkinson. Scott has a share in Team Cameron from the ‘18 Draft and has loved every bit of it. Because of the experience he’s starting training himself.
“These stories are what it’s all about.”
Green Blazer doesn’t turn 2-years-old until April with his main aim the $420,000 Launching Pad series starting next month. There are limited entries available for purchase – click here for more information.
