Just wondering what people think about Slater. Has anyone got any slater progeny and how are going ??? I know of a litter hitting tracks now out Al Fresco dam of Mantra Lad. Ten Bandannas and Red Bandanna are racing at Cranbourne this monday night trained by Glenn Rounds and bred by Martin & Fiona Hallinan. These pups should give Slater a good start on the track and all goes well I might put my broodie to him. cheers Dougie

lol Dougie, for a moment there I thought you were talking about my Surf Lorian boy "Slater" who won for me last night at Temora! (racename Stole A Break)

I think I've heard about a few Slaters that were trialling ok around the local area, but not sure what times they ran or how old sorry.

Looks like Slater has produced his first winner as a Sire last night at Cranbourne. He is a half brother to the Mighty Mantra Lad.

im sorry temora how sad for that dog to be degraded to such a poor track

Put one around Glengary the other day. First run back after 6 weeks off because of breaking in. 18.31 we were happy with thay.

Ay Dodger. Purely as a matter of interest what does a good dog run at Glengary and where is this track. I see the names of these trial tracks and occasionally times but they mean very little, in fact next to nothing to me. Let's define a "good dog" in this case as something that is quick over the 300 and is at least top grade country/TAB 300m sprinter. Otherwise what is the record for the 300 at Glengary. Richmond Grove is another track I see written up sometimes. I have a feeling a good breakin time there is under 19.0 but is based on only one piece of advice. Sorry to bother you with all these questions which you may or may not be able to answer but finally where is this Cawbourne track and what are the respective time standards there. As I said, only as a matter of interest.

glengary is near Richmond. Good break in time for 300 is around 18.10 to 18.30.Richmomd Grove is at the back of Richmond race track. 18.20 to 18.40.
Cawbourne is a straight trial track near Camden. 18.70 to 19.00 is a good break in time.

coops

Good on you Coops many thanks. Sounds like decent sorts of performed dogs need to be running well and truly in the 17s at Both Glengary and Richmond Grove and that a good straight track performer is going to run close to 18.0.

Another winner for slater tonight at Gosford
