It is with great sadness, I report that V12 Pedigrees bred in partnership Wentworth Park city winner - Spanky (Bit Chili x Good Signing) has been retired forthwith.
As reported by mate Sandro Bechini...
"She [Spanky] contested a heat of the Group 2 Ladies Bracelet last Saturday night [at Wentworth Park] and in the home straight when National Penny fought Miss Peru she crashed into the back of them and much to the shock of her large group of owners and supporters tumbled several times and snapped her off foreleg and got up screaming in pain.
Thankfully she will be saved for a breeding career & has been permanently retired
Her owners are the best enthusiastic bunch of young blokes you will ever meet and I am tipping at least 3 of them will stay in greyhounds long term
Spanky gave them great thrills and when they turned up at the track they were the talk of the track with the sheer enthusiasm and emotion, win, lose or draw..
On Saturday night they showed great spirit for 1st time owners in the face of great disappointment. They also showed great comradery in consoling each other and then getting a vet organized for her recovery.
I think greyhound racing was the winner on Saturday night, getting a vet organized for her recovery.
I think greyhound racing was the winner on Saturday night".
Speed recovery Spanky!
