Boom Pups Face Laurie Healion Rematch

By Stuart Turner

Hot prospects Chevy Prince and Shesa Felon will do battle again in the Group 3 Laurie Healion Memorial Maiden (515m) semi-finals.

The pair, who were among the standouts in the heats, line up in the third of three semi-finals of the $25,000-to-the-winner series this Friday.

Shesa Felon proved an unexpected star of last Saturday’s heats, winning her heat as a $30.80 shot in a superb 29.56.

The Caroline Hughes-trained greyhound has drawn box two here with Chevy Prince, who finished third behind Shesa Felon last Saturday, in box three.

Jason MACKAY’s boom pup clocked a respectable 29.64 himself and has a top-notch pedigree.

The son of Fabregas and Chevy Princess is owned by renowned leading thoroughbred syndication group Australian Bloodstock.

The group are part-owners of 2014 Melbourne Cup winning thoroughbred Protectionist and Chevy Prince is part of their first venture into greyhound racing.

Company principals Luke Murrell and Jamie Lovett, who is an old mate of gun trainer MACKAY, are believed to have purchased Chevy Prince for $70,000.

This high-class race will also feature Basque, a daughter of Where’s Pedro and Mckew who won her heat in 29.97.

The first semi-final features another of MACKAY’s promising pups, Zipping Comet (box two).

He is a son of Magic Sprite and Pink Bandanna and clocked 29.98 on debut last week.

With this draw he must be a strong chance to qualify for next Friday's decider.

Craig Chappelow’s Pass Lee, another heat winner who looks a decent roughie for the series, jumps from box six here.

The son of legendary Brett Lee and Surpassing ran 30.00 in his heat and has also trialled well at Dapto.

Good Odds Angel, who ran 29.64 and split Shesa Felon and Chevy Prince in last week’s heat, jumps from box four in this race.

Beau Hedley’s promising Heir Of King looks the one to back in second semi-final.

A son of Bogie King and Bogie Angel, he ran a strong 29.76 to triumph last Saturday.

Zipping Sasha (box seven), another of MACKAY’s exciting pups who finished second by a head behind Pass Lee last week, also features here.
