Newspaper extract: "Joanna Bailey - For the sun Herald sports reporter Nick Yardley - Champion Greyhound Black Aztec - You can buy a lot for $50,000 - a small home, half a dozen new cars, several very large diamonds. Even a black dog. That's if the dog is a greyhound with the ability of Black Aztec. Fifty thousand of the the best is what bookmaker Morrie Chippendale and his wife Lorraine paid for the 27-month-old greyhound in Hobart last month. Now the dog is worth more than $100,000, perhaps even $200,000. Lorraine Chippendale would be first to admit she's crazy about dogs. She has 23 of them. And because greyhounds are a little too large for the house she has three Italian greyhounds - toy dogs like miniature whippets at home which yap at the postman and keep hthe sparrows on the wing. Black Aztec doesn't stay at the Chippendale home. He's not with the trainer, either. No one will say where Black Aztec lives... he's so valuable. Mrs Chippendale, an attractive, wilowy blones, said: "For years I wanted to have greyhounds but my husband refused. "I think he was frightened that he would be expected to walk them." - Lorraine Chippendale and dog handler George Borg. Count Goloa stands while Black Aztec takes his success lying down."

Text on back: "Champion Greyhound is a winner at love too. Ballyregan Bob discovered yesterday that there's more to a dog's life than keeping ahead of the pack. The record-breaking greyhound celebrated his retirement to stud by keeping a date with a four-year-old bitch caled Jaunty Countess. That's her on the right of our picture. Bob's trainer George Curtis pronounced their meeting highly satisfactory: 'He didn't waste any time.' he said. 'We gave him a kit kat as usual afterwards and he was quite happy.' Bob, who won his 32nd consecutive race at Hove on Tuesday, has been put out to stud 40 times already during his lay-offs because of injury. Now it could become his career as a result of an injury which threatens to keep him off the trace for good. However much Bob might enjoy his lucrative new role, there is no guarantee his sons and daughters will be winners."

Text on back: Ballyregan Bob has run his last race. Owner Cliff Kevern was quite emphatic when he spoke after his great greyhound champion had set a new world record of 32 wins in a row at the Brighton and Hove stadium last night. Kevern, who has turned down 100,000 pound offersfor bob is on a real moneyspinner. At around 500 pounds a mating, the potential earnings of a sire in Bob's calibre are tremendous. In six years he could earn 300,000 pounds."

Text on back: "Ballyregan Bob completed the formality of setting the world record for greyhound racing at Hove last night when he easily won his 32nd consecutive race. A capacity crowd and millions more on tv and radio, saw Bob dominate his five rivals, including Low Sail, the champion slayer of Ireland. A breathtaking run took him clear by 9 1/4 lengths after taking up the running at the fourth bend. Bob is undisputed champion of the world having overtaken american greyhound Joe Dump, whose sequence of 31 wins had stood since 1970."

Newspaper clipping: "The greyhound Golden Hazden, one of the strong fancies for the final of the Vic Peters' Memorial Classic at Harold Park tonight, is down in the dumps according to trainer Brian Hetherington (sic). Golden Hazden returned yesterday from Queensland where he won a heat of the Brisbane Cup at the Gabba on Thursday night. Barrington said Golden Hazden was "wishing everyone to hell" when he finally got home. "He didn't get to sleep until midnight after the Gabba race and I had him upo at 3:30 am to get to the airport for the flight home." Barrington hopes the bad luck he has experienced with box draws has finally changed. "Golden Hazden drew box 1 at the Gabba and he's drawn it again in the big one tonight. Given a good night's sleep he'll be ready to run the race of his life. I think It's My Turn will lead off box two, and I hope Golden Hazden can get a clear run behind him. The dog to beat is obviously Fag Ash. He's perfectly drawn in box eight with Extra Kinky, who is a desperate railer, next to him in box seven. But if Fag Ash does anything wrong he won't catch my dog. Golden Hazden only has to be within a couple of lengths of the lead at the home turn to win." said Barrington."

The would wouldn't heal and it seemed he might even lose the end of his tail. Then his owner-trainer Lynette Curtis, of Lansvale, came up with the can-on-the-tail idea."

Micheal Stefan, his father George, brother-in-law Paul Child and friend Alan Brown picked up Mighty Aussie for nothing when he was seven months old. The only stipulation about the sale was that the breeder was to get $100 if the dog won a race. Mighty Aussie has proved a cheap buy winning five races from nine starts. Micheal Stefan, 20, who trains the dog isn't happy about drawing box five in the big final but is hoping he can lead Big Twinkle (box six) at the start. 'Naturally I think Alpha Brava will be the hardest to beat.' Stefan said. If Mighty Aussie is successful in the final it will prove a great boost for his sire Mighty Close who is just starting to make an impact on the breeding scene."
