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.

It was believed that her main rivals were two, Wonderous and Reb Secret. At the event, Wonderous has given a very fast run time. She is one of the state’s premiere sprinters however from the outside, seemed to impossibly cross Elly Mint and so blew out to a $3.80 second favourite with not so much money for her.

Reb Secret got a striking distance early on from Elly Mint, however Elly Mint scorched on the wet track. Down the back straight, Reb Secret had closed the gap. Then some gasps were overheard around traps when Elly Mint seemed vulnerable. But then, she still managed to win comfortably later in 30.01 run time.

It appeared that Wonderous worked home late to seize second placing from Reb Secret who seemed tired.

What’s Up Now for Elly Mint?

After all that she has achieved recently, Elly Mint and her trainer still want more. Elly Mint is now about to take the next step in the quest for nine wins in a row. Soon, she’ll be up for the Christmas Stakes at Wentworth Park. And it seems that she’ll be doing well at the said event as she appears now to be a strong opponent with the ability to be drawn anywhere.

Several greyhounds have showcased what they’ve got. But the star of the night was really Rockstar Image who handed in the run of the night in the Slattery Auctions 4/5th Grade over 515m.

Early part, after being second & third, Rockstar Image gave his best to have a very quick 12.64 run home time, on the way to a 13½ len victory in a flying 29.73. Currently, Rockstar Image has already had two city runs without winning. But despite of this, judging him by last week’s Tuesday race, he could be a promising greyhound.

Some other greyhounds who did well in last week’s race were En Chlais, Smash Repair, Abby Taylah and Teddy Flynn.

En Chlais who took out the Blue Paws Mixed Final over 400m in 23.31 has made it back to back Gosford wins. This Ferguson trained En Chlais now has two wins, two seconds & a third from her only five starts.

Smash Repair was another greyhound to be recognized during the last week’s race. In the 515m 5th Grade event in 30.20, he took the lead throughout to win.

Ricky Moncrieff trained Abbi Taylah also left a good record with the lead throughout to score from Like a Star, who ran on from a long way back ending second of Lee Kate.

Tedd Flynn finally gave Peter Lagogiane the reason to smile again. Flynn won in race two, thus making up to some very frustrating runs lately.
