The great little chaser Cindeen Shelby was actually declared by the Australian Greyhound Racing Association at the infield of the Cannington Race Complex in West Australia as winner of the much coveted 2009 AGRA Australian Greyhound of the Year title. Michelle Parkinson and trainer Jackie Greenough seemed surprised then about their greyhound being considered as perfect choice for the title but of course also seemed happy and thrilled.
It was Sky Channel’s Peter Davis who actually gave the award to Parkinson and Greenough. And the two, well naturally, they expressed their surprise and at the same time expressed their happiness and thrill regarding their greyhound’s accomplishment. They knew then that El Galo and Amity Bale also achieved a lot the previous year and it was in a way a surprise for them. But they were happy and thrilled indeed. Most likely, they also felt then that their Cindeen Shelby should also win.
“It has been such a fantastic year, to race Cindeen Shelby was brilliant for us,” Parkinson said. “I think she deserved to win, she is a great little chaser who always gives her all. I’d like to congratulate both Kelvyn and Jackie Greenough for the wonderful job they have done with ‘Shelby’ all year.”
Greenough also expressed good things about looking after Cindeen Shelby. And for this trainer, Cindeen Shelby can be considered just hard chasing, placid and a fantastic kennel dog.
A panel of judges consisting then of administrators and media representatives from each state, from print, radio and television was actually responsible for the selection of the winner of such prestigious title. The panel was asked to allocate votes 3, 2 and 1 to three finalists in sequence. This panel of judges was of course responsible for Cindeen Shelby being selected as the winner of 2009 AGRA Australian Greyhound of the Year title.
