One of the speediest bitches to have graced the Australian tracks, Queen Lauryn, has been retired.
Trained by Tony Brett and owned by the HH Syndicate, the four-year-old will leave behind an impressive racing legacy having won both sprint and staying features at Group 1 level, the Crown Classic (515m) and the Brisbane Gold Cup (710m) as well as setting six track records.
The daughter of Token Prince x Cheeky Sprite was retired now, prior to her beginning her fourth racing season and will live in Queensland where she will be mated with a still to be decided sire.
Also this week, another runner trained by Tony Brett was retired, Rapid Set (Whisky Assassin x Four Way Fire) following a shoulder injury. The well performing Albion Park bitch is to be mated with 2008 Australian Greyhound of the Year El Galo right away.
Another top Queensland greyhound has also had a big career move, as the elite sprinter Gnarley Boy was transferred to Darren McDonald’s kennels in Victoria.
Previously trained by Mal Dawson in Queensland, Gnarley Boy (Where’s Pedro x Suna Silence) flew to Victoria over the weekend to begin training with McDonald. The talented Group 3 St Leger runner-up last start will run at The Meadows Saturday night when he contests the heats of the Group 1 Silver Chief.
