These are two exciting races that feature the likes of Victa Grosso, Springvale Rex and Mr Ibrox from Heat 1 and Radek Bale, Howling Hoss and Spring Agatha in Heat 2. The Gawler GRC and GRSA named the Stayers Cup in honour of Bothing last year to recognise one of our great stayers over the last 20 years.
Bothing was nicely bred being by Carlisle Jack out of Which Wire, owned by Andrew Lee, Brett Smith and Alexander Calabria and trained by Bosco Stamenkovic. In 2006, there was no better stayer in the country after he won the National Distance Championship at Launceston in Tasmania over the 720m where he established a new track record of 42.49 and won by almost 5 lengths. He also currently holds the Gawler 643m track record which he set 15 years ago running an amazing 36.81 and won by almost 18 lengths, with few greyhounds getting close to this mark over the last decade and a half. He won the State Final of the National Distance, he was named SA Staying Greyhound of the Year and showed he could sprint as well, winning a Heat of the SA St Leger before finishing third in the Final. His best time over the 515m at Angle Park was 29.30 while he ran 43.06 over the 731m, he also won at Wentworth Park in 42.72 over the 720m. His career ended with 17 wins and 7 placings from only 30 lifetime starts with earnings of around $82,000 in prizemoney.
The $8,500 Final of the Bothing Gawler Stayers Cup will be an 8-dog field and will be run on Sunday, 31st October along with the $4,000 Gawler Anniversary Cup over the 531m rounding out the outstanding three meetings of racing.
