Punters Failed to See Who’s the Best Between Smart Betsy and Rockstar Image

Punters were deprived of a showdown and they actually failed to see who’s the best between Bathurst star Rockstar Image and Nowra greyhound Smart Betsy, with the latter being scratched on Monday, the racing day. Though Nick Healey was happy with the win of his Rockstar Image in 10 3/4 length romp in the 3/4th Grade ‘Nice Products Stake’ at Wentworth Park last Monday, he was a bit disappointed not to see Rockstar Image running with Smart Betsy.

“I wanted to see just how good our dog (Rockstar Image) really is. He’s raced against good dogs before but I just want to see if he’s up to that class,” Nick said. Nick badly wants to see if Rockstar Image could beat the Nowra greyhound.

On the lighter side, Nick is still up to bringing Rockstar Image to Gosford Gold Cup later this month. But he still wants Rockstar Image to be checked. He was underwhelmed by Rockstar Image’s 30.18 finishing time. He said, “I thought he might have gone a little faster than that. They reckon the track was a bit slower than last week, and the wind could have played a part, but he might also have picked up a little chest muscle injury in the run.” But he claimed then that there’s no need to worry much as he said, “he’s pulled up ok today but we’ll get it checked at Yagoona and anyway, a couple of weeks off wouldn’t hurt him.”

Rockstar will be gone for a couple of weeks to be checked but he will be back in time for the Gosford Gold Cup.
