Extra Stride's flying strike

10 Sep, 2009 12:56 PM
VETERAN Tynong owner-trainer Carl Haas produced the flying Extra Stride to win Sunday's sprint championship.

The son of Elgrando-Disguised led all the way to score by almost three lengths in a time of 24.94 seconds for the 440 metres from Shameless and Jalyn Jones.

The first split of 5.11s was a hundredth of a second outside the record set by Brilliant Lee.

Yarram trainer Brian Alford produced a double on the night with Thane scoring at odds of $14.

Ma's Man scored by a nose in a heat of the Phoenix race, after drifting from opening favourite to $7.40.

Chris Johannsen also chipped in with a double with Miss Fluffy and Pub Fund winning in 24.98s and 25s respectively.

Trainer Will McMahon leads in plenty of winners, but it was wife Judith who produced the winner of the opening event with Spin the Wheels. Jemalong-Jessica, son of Pure Octane, defeated Bomba Blitz and Forbes Magpies in 25.37s.

It was great to see 42kg greyhound Phoenix Shiraz get back into the winners' circle in the mixed. Having only his second start from injury over three months ago.

The son of Puzzle Prize and Creme of Shiraz railed hard to score by over two lengths in 24.97s for Sale's Carolyn Jones.

In 51 starts, Phoenix Shiraz has 17 wins and 20 placings, with close to $70,000 in stakes.
