25.01.2022 FLYING RICCIARDO ALL THE RAGE IN THE GOLDEN MUZZLE HEATS THIS SATURDAY In June 2019, breeder Lynne Aldous offered four pups for sale at the first Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction by Barcia Bale out of Megalodon and in hindsight, plenty of people would love to ‘turn back the clock’ and be the purchaser of one of those pups in particular. It’s now well documented that Flying Ricciardo was purchased for just $7,500 by Kristy Sultana and since commencing his career, he has now raced o...n 17 occasions for the outstanding record of 14 wins and 2 seconds as well as claiming the G2 Black Top and establishing a new track record at Bulli. Flying Ricciardo has been the flag-bearer to date of the 108 lots that were sold at the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction and this Saturday, he will start a short-priced favourite in the inaugural Golden Muzzle Race series for graduates of the Auction. After finishing mid-field in the Million Dollar Chase final last week, Flying Ricciardo draws Box 5 in the first qualifier where the first 4 place-getters will progress through to next Saturday’s final, and the final winner will collect $40,000. The toughest for Flying Ricciardo to beat may be his litter-brother, Additional Asset, who arrives at headquarters for trainer Brian Barrington with the record of 3 wins from just 6 starts. Additional Asset has a smart 22.76 win at The Gardens over the 400m sprint trip and at his 3rd run over this distance, he could be the big improver. In the second heat, Vamos Penny, which was a buy back at the Gold Muzzle Auction by her owners Denis Donoghue and Peter McDermott for $31,000, looks ideally drawn close to the fence as she strives to record her sixth win at Wentworth Park. With a 29.72 personal best at the track, Vamos Penny (Fernando Bale x Chica Destacada) had no luck last Friday night after she was moderately away from a wide draw, but a return to an inside alley, should see her stalk the early leaders and be tough to hold out. The other two greyhounds from the Barcia Bale x Megalodon litter that were sold by Lynne Aldous at the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction will also do battle in the second Heat, with Megla Magic positioned in Box 7 while her sister, Ivy Conniving will wear the pink rug. While her more illustrious brother was burning up the tracks, Ivy Conniving only made her racetrack debut in mid-June and in 10 starts since, has recorded a pair of wins at Richmond over the 400m before scoring on debut at Wentworth Park last Saturday in 30.36. Due to the Covid pandemic, this years Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction was abandoned but it has since been confirmed that the 2021 Auction will be staged in June next year with Megalodon whelping a litter of pups to Aston Dee Bee last month, organisers are hopeful that some of those off-spring will be the headline acts and sales-toppers at the next Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction.

25.01.2022 2020 GOLDEN MUZZLE RACE SERIES - SAVE THE DATES! Gold Muzzle Auctions and GRNSW have today confirmed the dates for the inaugural running of the Golden Muzzle Race Series. Restricted to greyhounds which were sold through the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction and for which the 1st and 2nd Nomination fees were paid, at the closing of the 2nd Nominations, there were 70 greyhounds paid for and nominated for the 2020 Golden Muzzle Race Series. ... The primary Golden Muzzle Race series at Wentworth Park over 520m will see Heats staged on Saturday October 24 with prizemoney set at Grade 5 City level, with the $40,000 to the winner final to be conducted one week later on Saturday October 31. The final will also pay $10,000 for 2nd and $3,000 for 3rd all unplaced runners in the final will earn $500 with a bonus of $1,000 being paid to the Breeder of the winner. The secondary 2020 Golden Muzzle Race series will be conducted at Richmond over 400m with the Heats of that series to be held on Friday November 13 with Provincial FFA prize money levels being paid for the Heats. The final of the 2020 Richmond Golden Muzzle Race series will be held on Friday, November 20 with the eventual Final winner to pocket $6,000 there’s $2,000 for 2nd, $1,000 for 3rd all unplaced runners in the Final receive $250 and a Bonus of $500 will be paid to the Breeder of the winner. Wayne Billett, Chief Operating Officer of GRNSW, said it was exciting times for the owners and trainers of greyhounds eligible to compete in the Golden Muzzle Race series. The 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction saw more than 100 lots auctioned with a number of new owners entering the industry for the first time and with the big prize money on offer, trainers will obviously be planning their campaigns to the minute in an attempt to go into the record books as the winner of the first ever Golden Muzzle race series at Wentworth Park. Mark Duclos, Managing Director of Gold Muzzle Auctions, said the quality of greyhounds to come through the inaugural Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction has been outstanding. The likes of Flying Ricciardo have been brilliant since making their race track debuts and he has now won 5 of his 7 starts to date including a Track Record at Bulli over the 340m, while chasers such as Vamos Penny (29:91 at Wentworth Park) and Jackpot Josie (22:49 at Richmond) have also been setting the tracks alight. With another 3 months until the Wentworth Park series kicks off, we’re expecting more of our Auction graduates to hit the tracks shortly and stake their claims to win the $40,000 winners’ cheque. Nominations for both series must be lodged with GRNSW by the appropriate dates and there’ll be more information regarding the 2020 Golden Muzzle Race Series in the coming weeks.

23.01.2022 RICCIARDO FLIES INTO THE RECORD BOOKS The meteoric rise of Flying Ricciardo continued at Wentworth Park last night when he etched his name into the history books as the inaugural winner of the Gold Muzzle Auction race series. The son of Barcia Bale and Megalodon was among four pups of that litter bred and nominated for the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction by Lynne Aldous and was purchased by Kristy Sultana for just $7,500.... History now shows, that less than 18 months later, his race record stands at 19 starts for 16 wins and 2 seconds and after claiming the $40,000 winner’s cheque, his prizemoney has soared above more than $141,000and just think, he is not even 2 years of age yet. Flying Ricciardo showed all his customary early pace that greyhound fans have come to expect when he led from box rise with a 5.43 first split before stopping the clock at a new career best at the Glebe circuit of 29.69, taking his record at the track to 6 starts for 5 wins with his only defeat coming in the Million Dollar Chase final. Premier Grant (Dyna Double One x Cheeky Grant) for owner-trainer David Grant of Canowindra, showed he was a chaser with plenty of potential when he ran the winner to just over 2 lengths when the judge called a halt, with Flying Ricciardo’s litter-brother, Additional Asset, claiming third spot another 4 lengths away. It’s just been an amazing ride so far and we can’t ask anymore of him, he is an amazing dog and we are so thrilled to have won a race like this, said Kristy Sultana following the victory. The Sultana name is synonymous with Greyhound racing in NSW Kristy’s sister Michelle is a prominent trainer while her father Sam, or ‘Sparrow’ as he is affectionately known, has put the polish on some very good chasers over the past 40 yearsKristy had no hesitation in declaring where Flying Ricciardo stood in the family pecking order. He is treated like a spoilt child at home but there’s no doubt, he’s the best dog we’ve ever had, and I just can’t wait to see what he can do in the next 6 months or so. Flying Ricciardo’s immediate aim will be the G1 Megastar at Dapto with an interstate trip up in the clouds due to the Covid pandemic, however, races like the age-restricted G1 National Derby at Wentworth Park will also be a target. Gold Muzzle Auctions and its partner, GRNSW, will announce next week the date and conditions for the next Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction with preliminary details being that it will be staged in June 2021 and will be open for pups whelped between July 1, 2020 and January 31, 2021.

22.01.2022 Congratulations to Kristy Sultana and Flying Ricciardo on taking out the G2 Black Top at The Gardens tonight. Bred by Lynne Aldous, Flying Ricciardo was purchased for $7,500 by Kristy Sultana at the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction as a 6 month old pup and takes his race record to 12 starts for 10 wins and 2 seconds and more than $67,000 in Prizemoney. And just think...he is less than 21 months old!... We will be back in 2021 with our Gold Muzzle Auction and don’t forget, the inaugural Golden Muzzle Race Series will be staged at Wentworth Park in October where the winner will claim a $40,000 first prize cheque.

22.01.2022 FUTURE CHAMPIONS SOLD AT THE INAUGURAL LADBROKES GOLD MUZZLE PUPPY AUCTION Sunday, June 23, 2019 A crowd of in excess of 400 people was in attendance at the Richmond Race Club today for the inaugural Ladbrokes Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction with more than 100 top quality pups being offered for sale.... When the last lot had gone over the rostrum, 103 pups were either sold or purchased back by their Nominators for a total in excess of $600,000, with an average price of just over $5,900 per lot. As expected, the Sales Toppers were the three siblings by Fernando Bale out of Chica Destacada, which realised prices of $32,000, $31,000 and $30,000 respectively, and they were all bought back by their owners Peter McDermot and Denis Donaghue after an underbidder was unsuccessful at prices of $30,000 and $29,000. 6 of the Top 10 dogs that brought the highest prices at the Auction were actual Sales, proving that quality Pups will always attract buyers at the right prices.

22.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS 2020 GOLD MUZZLE PUPPY AUCTION HAS BEEN POSTPONED. March 30, 2020... It is with regret, that due to the on-going COVID-19 crisis and the restrictions that are currently in place, we now advise that the 2020 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction that was due to be held on June 23, has been postponed to a date to be advised. This decision was made in consultation with GRNSW and is necessary for obvious saftey and compliance issues that currently exist. We are hopeful of staging the Auction later this year, however, that will be determined when and if restrictions are lifted. Kind Regards, Mark Duclos

20.01.2022 RICCIARDO LOOKING FOR A GOLD MUZZLE CLEAN SWEEP Boom chaser Flying Ricciardo is making a quick pit-stop at Richmond this Friday night en-route to a tilt at the G1 Dapto Megastar, as he looks to make a clean sweep of the Ladbrokes Gold Muzzle Auction race series. The son of Barcia Bale and Megalodon claimed the inaugural Gold Muzzle Auction Race Series at Wentworth Park just two weeks ago when he defeated Premier Grant and Additional Asset, taking his overall record to 19 star...ts for 16 wins and 2 seconds. Purchased by his owner-trainer Kristy Sultana for $7,500 at the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction, Flying Ricciardo has now earnt connections more than $141,000 and will start from Box 2 in Race 1 on Friday night. Although Richmond is his ‘home track’, this will be just his second official start at the Londonderry circuit and his first over the 400m he won there at start number 4 when clocking a Best-of-Night 18.63 over the 330m dash and he will also be looking to maintain his unbeaten record when wearing the striped rug. And although he is the sprinter on most people’s lips at the moment, he will face some stiff opposition on Friday night with the likes of Dam Reckless (Barcia Bale x Lagoon Prissy) and Jackpot Josie (Dyna Double One x Bella Senora) expected to be the toughest to beat. Dam Reckless has won 3 of 5 starts at Richmond with a best on the clock of a smart 22.68, while Jackpot Josie is a 5-time winner at the track and distance, and if she can reproduce her PB there of a sizzling 22.49, she’s certain to stretch the favourite. In the second Heat, Hola Adios and Sienna Keeping are the best performed chasers in the field with Hola Adios (Fernando Bale x Chica Destacada) scoring there at her last start over the 330m in a smart 18.68 while the Charmaine Roberts prepared Sienna Keeping (Black Magic Opal x Milly Keeping) has been victorious twice at the track and trip with a 22.76 best. The opening event at Richmond is due to get underway at 7.01 local time this Friday night and don’t forget, you can watch every NSW Greyhound race, live and free at www.thedogs.com.au website

16.01.2022 2019 GMA GRADUATES BURNING UP THE TRACKS The first wave of pups sold at the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction have made the transition to the racetrack and they have literally been burning up the tracks with some very impressive performances. Sienna Keeping, a daughter-in-law of Black Magic Opal and Milly Keeping, has now faced the starter 5 times scoring 3 victories, including a 22.76 BON performance at Richmond over 400m.... Jackpot Josie, by Dyna Double One out of Bella Señora, has currently had 3 starts for 2 wins, both at Richmond over the 400m, with the highlight being a Best-of-Night gallop of a sizzling 22.61. Coincidentally, Sienna Keeping and Jackpot Josie met in a 330m dash at Richmond last Sunday finishing first and second, with Sienna Keeping scoring in a time of 18.83. Rapid Rival is another graduate of the 2019 Gold Muzzle Puppy Auction and she was brilliant when scoring on debut at Dubbo last week in a flying 22.86 over the 400m trip. A daughter of Fernando Bale out of Becky Keeping, Rapid Rival is certain to start a short-priced favourite when she contests Race 5 at Dubbo this Thursday for trainer, Angela Kilpatrick.

14.01.2022 RICCIARDO THE CANINE HEADLINE He’s the headline dog of the Ladbrokes Gold Muzzle Auction race series and with good reason. Flying Ricciardo, who counts his namesake, F1 champ Dan Ricciardo amongst his followers, is one of the shortest favourites in a feature race in recent years as he attempts to claim the $40,000 winner’s cheque in the Ladbrokes Gold Muzzle Auction final at Wentworth Park on Saturday night....Continue reading

12.01.2022 Could this dog be the next 'big thing' at Stud?
