Smart Betsy Failed to Run with Rockstar Image

Hyped duo Smart Betsy and Rockstar Image were expected to run together and contend for superiority last Monday night at Wenthworth Park. Supposedly, the two were up for a face off in the Nice Products Stake over 520 metres.

Punters anticipated an exciting showdown from the two however, they were deprived of it as the Nowra greyhound Smart Betsy was scratched on the race day. Punters were disappointed, and so as trainer Nick Healey who hoped to see Rockstar Image beating Smart Betsy at Wenthworth Park.

It was expected that the box draw will make Rockstar Image the marginal favourite for he must get the gun run out wide while Smart Betsy early on will have some traffic troubles.

Also, the event was expected to be loud as western region will surely be cheering on Rockstar Image while the south coast has there own Smart Betsy. Western region has been supporting Rockstar Image because of his interesting debut win at Bathurst and also of his good record with four wins on end which now includes the huge win at Gosford on a wet track. While the south coast for Smart Betsy, most likely because she have had the world at her paws at one significant event. Betsy is a 16 length winner in a heat of the Laurie Healion Maiden Series. She stopped the clock at 30.18 seconds on a heavy track and remained undefeated throughout the series, winning the final in 30.00 run time.

If Smart Betsy wasn’t only scratched, and she was able to run with Rockstar Image at the track, Monday night at Wenthworth could have been wilder and noisier. Hopefully, there’ll be another chance for them run together and compete at the track. Punters are surely waiting for that another chance.
