Damek Experienced Defeat First Time

At Sandown Park, the Tasmanian greyhound Damek experienced defeat first time. He was beaten first time at the popular Sandown Park. He actually raced in the heat of a Grade Five series.

Because of what happened, the Tasmanian greyhound star is no longer undefeated. Well, this must be something hard in a way to accept for trainer Eileen Thomas and even breeder and part-owner June Phillips but then based on the vet’s report, Damek pulled up proppy, hit the rail on the first turn. Damek most probably has also seriously given it a try.

“He hit the running rail and never fully stretched out after that but no excuses because he was beaten on the night by a good dog and that’s going to happen – it’s racing,” said Damek’s breeder and part-owner June Phillips. “He also travelled to Melbourne on the day of the race and that probably was not the best option but plane delays and so forth forced out hand but in hindsight it was probably not the way to go. In future if we can’t get to our destination when we want to we simply won’t go.”

For Phillips, it was meant then that the dog be finally beaten. But naturally they must have wanted Damek to win and remain undefeated.

Damek will race at The Meadows next Saturday night. Thus, the Tasmanian greyhound was brought to vet.

“We have had him to the vet and if everything is Ok he’ll be back in Melbourne next week for a race at The Meadows next Saturday night.”

From seven starts in Tasmania, Damek is undefeated. Well it is a bit disheartening to know that at Sandown Park the greyhound had his first ever defeat. But then as Phillips said, it is racing. Any racer can actually simply be beaten.
