Fans of Fear Zafonic have proved to us that their bet for the prestigious 2009 Greyhound of the Year title is the one that’s really deserving to win such title. At the London’s Hilton Metropole, the said title was awarded to the Charlie Lister-trained Fear Zafonic.
However, the owners of the October 2006 son of Premier Fantasy and Farloe Oysterwas failed to win the Owners of the Year title. Instead of Paul Shaw, Simon Wooder and Kieron Roe, owners of Kinda Ready were the ones who brought home the title. But such owners, Daren Johnson, Gary Crouch, Chris Badger and Lee Jordan have actually been doing their part for Kinda Ready.
Lister, though didn’t directly won a title, seemed like a real winner as well as it was already his fourth time to be at Greyhound of the Year awarding ceremony following Spring Rose in 1996, Some Picture in 1997 and Rapid Ranger in 2001. Just more to come for this great trainer.
In total, Fear Zafonic raced for 20 times in 2009 from as early as January 5 to November 26. And for the record, he won for 9 times. In big events, he made it. Just like in Perry Barr and Yarmouth, he was successful.
Fear Zafonic, considering his achievements, was the one then that’s truly worthy of the highly distinguished 2009 Greyhound of the Year title, which indeed a lot have been wanting.
But others that failed to win the most sought after title should not feel undeserving. Any greyhound that gave it all in 2009′s races was deserving as well for such title.
Others that failed should not let themselves be drowned in despair. There is always a next time. For this year’s title, they still have a chance. They should just again be well in the race tracks.
