Spring Murder is earning his pre-race treats at the moment – and owner/trainer Arrol Glynn will gladly shout him some more if his charge can win at Bulli on Wednesday night.
The exciting sprinter aims to continue an impressive start to his racing career in the Bulli Trials Tuesday-Friday Stakes (400m) tonight.
He has placed on all six of his competitive outings so far, securing a third win at Bulli last time out on June 11.
Glynn said his greyhound had over-indulged before that race, but still produced the goods.
“I gave him some meat from the fridge a couple of days before I raced him,” he said. “Maybe I gave him too much.
“He was cramping at Bulli, but he still won by two lengths.
“He’s still a pup really (but) but he’s a beautiful dog to work with.”
Spring Murder has already chalked up an impressive 22.58 for the distance and will head out from box seven.
Toughest opposition is likely from another impressive newcomer, Christine Proctor's Kiss the Hawk (box eight), who has been an decent recent performer.
“It is hard to win at Bulli,” he said. “You’ve got to run fast times there.
“Goulburn suits him better as a track but he goes well at Bulli and is in good shape.”
Macquarie Fields-based Glynn (66) has been training for most of his life after being introduced to the sport by family.
He is the grandfather of NRL star Adam Reynolds, although Glynn said the South Sydney Rabbitohs halfback probably would not be switching sports soon.
“I think he is too involved with his footy at the moment,” Glynn said. “These footy players make enough money anyway, don’t they?
"I've always loved the greyhounds and (racing) is soemthing to do as you get older.
“I’m just a hobby trainer these days but it’s good to see your dogs going well."
The race is the third of ten on the card at Bulli, with action starting at 7.05pm.
