There’s a place in all sports for Goliaths. We admire them, we cheer them, and are often in awe of their achievements. All sports need champions and superstars. But … we all love a David.
The underdog. The battler. The one nobody really expects to win, but they are the ones who gives it their all and we want them to - just once - have their special moment.
At Wentworth Park on Saturday night in the Ladbrokes Golden Easter Egg semi-finals, there will be a number of Goliaths, none bigger than one of the best greyhounds the sport has ever seen, defending champion She’s A Pearl. But for every star, there are many who dream of having their one moment.
Stephen Davies is one of those and one Saturday night he and his dog Battle Born will be hoping to be the sport’s latest giant killers, and book a berth in the following week’s $300,000-to-the-winner grand final.
