Octonal**
 

Will be back later in the week to give you a run down of this extra good Western Australian Trained dog who seems to have more than his fare share of talent.

Cannington Saturday May 31

Not even turned Two yet Octanol went into the Derby series having had only the two race starts and the Brindle son of Pure Octane ran out of his skin when second behind Perth Cup winner Size Can Matter in his heat and I thought that performance would be hard to top but his effort last night to take the Derby coming from so far of the pace and having to chase down both Size Can Matter and Knocka Norris ahead of him and then to to break the track record to boot was outstanding.Well done to Owner Trainer David Hobby and all involved and a special thanks also to our Racing forum regular God Father who gave us the heads up on him last week.Hope you got plenty of him last night mate.Good run also by Bear Cat who as he had done last week railed through on the first turn to lead only to secumb to the fast finishing Octanol in the home straight.Size Can Matter who chased Bear Cat throughout finished third some four Lengths from the winner.Knocka Norris had raced in third for most the trip before finishing fourth.

Did you get any?????

I was hanging on for the mail :)
I personally would have never back it too many seasoned dogs in that race. But boy can that David Hobby train a dog.

Sorry i couldnt get back.
Busy getting my kennels running.

Great bloke Dave.
Taught the God Father 50% of what he knows;)

Nice win for the new racer.

Whens he racing next? Might put a few dollars on him, seems to be very smart.

Not since prince of tigers has a pup did so much.
He then went on to win the Sprint championship that year after going into the WA DERBY with 10 wins from 11 starts i think.

Oci or AKA Peppi had only 4:eek:
He should be back in about 4 weeks:cool:

Well done DAVE .. WELL DONEEEEEEE

gUESS you know the dog now members LOL LOL

Peppe (Octonal) is staying here in NSW with us. Adele, David's 16yr old daughter, flew over with him and has been looking after him while in NSW. She was over the moon after his fab win last Saturday. She has him on his toes and after a run up the straight this finishes his preparation for the final. She has done a wonderful job with and he certainly looks the goods this Saturday.

GO PEPPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
