Hi Bobby. Have you seen this ?
IT LOOKS LIKE BEING GEMS LAST RACE 17/06/2014 Ruairi Dwan admits that he might have seemed to be a right idiot if Borna Gem had failed to performer in her third challenge for the Sporting Press Irish Oaks. Instead, days before the final at Shelbourne, he finds himself in charge of the favourite for the bitch classic on Saturday night. Speaking yesterday, Dwan said, When I entered her for the Oaks there were fellows saying, why is that idiot bringing her back after having a litter of pups. Thankfully the bitch has given her answer and is now just one race away from becoming one of the oldest Oaks winners in history. The pups are six months old and they are lovely pups. They are by Milldean Panther and they have a real touch of class. Im really looking forward to them. But how is mum in advance of what is probably her last race? She is standing up to the racing very well. She got spiked in the quarter final and then had to overcome a difficult trap six draw in Saturdays semi-final. She was a bit tired on Sunday morning but was jumping when I took her out this morning and we are delighted with her draw in two. Its up to her now. She drives the bend from the inside and hopefully she can clear the inside bitch to the corner. We are hoping for the best but, win or lose, it is likely to be her final race. There is no other Oaks and at this stage I am not going to take on the dogs in the Derby with her. Dwan has a very proud record in the Oaks as she won it in 1997 with Borna Best and then two years later won it a second time with Borna Survivor. Borna Gem was favourite for last years final while his dad Roger had Borna Magic in the 1996 final.
May I just add, The very best of luck to Ruairi and all the other finalists

After blowing the start & copping a check, the greyhound WHITTAKER (remember the name) CLICK HERE won his maiden start at Dapto by 12 plus lengths running a stunning 29.86, with a run home of 12.40.
To put that "Run Home" into perpective, the track record holder DOUBLE TWIST ran 12.30 when breaking the track record last year.
This smart pup comes from MILLDEAN PANTHER's 9th litter whelped in Australia....with his 3rd litter already producing a Group Finalist.
To watch the race, WHITTAKER is in box 2 ---> EXTERNAL LINK

That looks a great run, and the Run Home looks a fantastic run for one so green.He is getting the very best bitches in England and Ireland as well.

Was looking at a litter the other day by Milldean Panther, the ones I seen barely had their eyes open, and had attitude with a Capital A

Well Mark I believe this new kid on the block {WHITTAKER} is out of a BRETT LEE bitch, if so I hope that line keeps producing champions.

Hi Bobby.
The line which is proven is .Brett Lee and sons of Brett Lee,. The cross is also proven with Top Honcho and his sons.So Head Honcho should work the same.
