Yes Diesel I read this on the GRV site and thought it was great news. I expect they will get their Group One Status in view of the prize money. As expressed a month or so ago I was disappointed with the 2008 Sale Cup fields and hope that the club gets the nominations it deserves in 2009. It needs another half a dozen or so high quality dogs. Shanew explained to us why Fallen Zorro and Chinatown Lad were not not there in 2008, Sky Hazzard was retired and Mantra Lad was injured. The presence of those dogs would have made a huge difference. I have a bit of a "thing" for the Sale Cup, I like it. In fact, I have identified a bitch, unraced at this stage, who I am hoping will win the 2009 Final.
