Ruckus Taro, Messi Taro and George Taro, who won at Dubbo on Saturday for Jeanette Foley and her son Daniel, are, like all the greyhounds on their property, descendants of their smart race bitch Miss Taro.
Her 15 wins and 23 placings included successive Wentworth Park victories in June, 2010, but Miss Taro has been even more valuable as a producer.
"We have 18 young greyhounds in work and each of them is a grandson or grand-daughter of Miss Taro,'' Jeanette Foley said.
"What pleased us most about Saturday was seeing Ruckus Taro finally come through for a win, at his 28th start.
"He has always had ability but in his nine seconds and five thirds from his previous 27 races he had always just been pipped on the post or had bad luck in running.''
The Foley family, who breed and train their greyhounds at Geurie, 30 minutes from the Dubbo track, have been among country racing's "quiet achievers'' for 25 years.
Nobody was more surprised at $6 chance Be In Touch's impressive all-the-way win at Wentworth Park on Saturday night than trainer Mark Davidson.
Be In Touch went into a 520m fifth grade with a win and three placings from five provincial appearances, but led throughout from box one and won easily, posting a nippy first split of 5.46 and a strong run home of 11.80 on his way to a fast 29.88 victory.
Davidson, recovering from an eye operation, sent wife Mel to Wentworth Park with Be in Touch, who had previously had a post-to-post slip and a box-to-box trial at headquarters.
"In his post-to-post Be In Touch failed to break 25 seconds, which is awful,'' a candid Davidson said.
"So we sent him back to Wentworth Park for a box-to-box hit-out on Tuesday and while he went better, I didn't expect him to go any faster than 30.20 in Saturday's race.
"Be In Touch has shown glimpses of talent but hasn't put it together consistently, and even on Saturday night, when he went through the catching pen, his legs were going all over the place, so he is still learning.
"I don't intend to rush him and plan to nominate the dog for a one to two wins event at The Gardens on Friday.''
Difficulty in a securing an appropriate trial on the track is likely to cause Zambora Tiger to miss Sunday's heats of the rich Chief Havoc Cup at Gunnedah.
Zambora Tiger followed an all-way-way 29.82 Wentworth Park win on May 20 with another runaway success there on Saturday, carving out early splits of 5.39 and 13.81 before covering the 520m in a fast 29.75.
After the race trainer Scott Tyson said: "I was keen on taking her Gunnedah for the Cup heats but I'm convinced dogs need to have a trial on that track.
"A Tuesday trial would be too close to Saturday night's WP race and a trial after the last race at Gunnedah on Thursday is a bit close to the Cup heats date.
"Now that Zambora Tiger has got back down to reeling off those fast early sections again I'll probably keep taking her back to Wentworth Park, although after Saturday's win she will go up in grade.
"So she is going to be meeting some top notchers from now on.''
