Memory Of Mum\u2019s excellent box manners has placed Toowoomba trainer Mark Saal on a path that may lead to his inaugural Molly Campbell Silver Dollars trophy.<\/p>\n
The Aussie Infrared x Brockie Magic bitch has drawn Box 4 in the third of four heats of the prestigious 520m event on the Ladbrokes Q2 Parklands circuit on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Molly Campbell\u2019 feature, named after the publisher of the long-running Queensland Greyhound Form Guide, was first contested in 1974.<\/p>\n
In that time this age-restricted race has trumpeted the arrival of some of the best chasers to emerge in Queensland.<\/p>\n
Saal hopes that is again the case this year, especially if his promising Memory Of Mum can salute.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a historic and notable race series,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t had the privilege of winning it so far, but this year I am hopeful. You can never really be more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Memory Of Mum is owned and bred by Warwick dog man Pat Gainey, who named the bitch in honour of his mother, who passed away about 12 months ago.<\/p>\n
Another of the litter, Wildash Jane (Robert Cooke), is in the opening heat on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Saal says Memory Of Mum has the potential to put herself in the race on Thursday night with blistering speed out of the boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Pat McLeod Memory Of Mum\u2019s excellent box manners has placed Toowoomba trainer Mark Saal on a path…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142365,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-142364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
