AGRA-GCA Honour Rolls – Tasmania

HOBART 1000

*****Note the detailed honour rolls of information for the Hobart 1000, Launceston Cup and Devonport Cup has been compiled by legendary Tasmanian historian Greg Fahey.

The Hobart 1000 is the oldest feature race final in Australia. It was first run as the Hobart Cup at the old TCA circuit in 1935. The race first became known as the Hobart 1000 in 1939, it reverted back to the Hobart Cup for two years in 1942 then was not held during the war years of 1944-45 and when the race recommended in 1946 it was again known as the Hobart 1000.

The most notable effort in the history of the Hobart Thousand must be the training feat of Hilda Williamson of Beaconsfield.  She won back-to-back Thousands in 1961/62 with her grand bitch Ophir Doll, and just for good measure made it a hat trick with Ophir Gold in 1963.  Another notable feat was that of Beaut Dina.  She won the event run in 1976 and was the dam of Scene Control, which won the last ever Hobart Thousand run at the T.C.A. in 1980.  Both were owned and trained by Ted and Laurie Rigby of Evandale.

Arguments will always rage over the greatest dogs to win the Thousand.  The best interstate chasers to gain victory would have to be Rookie Rebel (1958), Benjamin John (1969), (which ran down the immortal Zoom Top), Black Aztec (1981), and the freak Brother Fox (1985).  Amongst the very best of the locals to salute would have to be Ophir Doll (1961/62), along with Royal Griffin (1978), True Vintage (1988), Bomber’s a Flyer (1996), Top Shiraz (2000) (who held off the speedster Brett Lee) and Black Caleb (2002) who defeated Melbourne Cup winner Classic Capri. Race record over the 457m trip – 2005 winner Ralph The Mouth 25.60The 2011 winner Dyna Tron was later judged the AGRA and Victorian Greyhound of the Year.

Listed below are the names of many champions that have tasted victory in the time honored event. It is certainly an impressive list of past winners.

LAUNCESTON CUP

*****Note the detailed honour rolls of information for the Hobart 1000, Lauceston Cup and Devonport Cup has been compiled by legendary Tasmanian historian Greg Fahey.

The time-honoured event is one the oldest feature finals in Australia. It was first run in 1936 and has no doubt seen its fair share of drama over that long period of time. They have had a dead heat in 1942 and dual winners with Mystery Bridge 75/76 and the mighty Fine Horizon in 1999 and 2000 plus, the 2006 winner a last to first performance by Victorian Wongawillicath, in 2007 the cup was won by Capriccio provided a trifecta for trainer Ted Medhurst. While in 2009 the cup saw a win to dual Tasmanian Greyhound of the Year Big Moose. The last two years the Cup was won by Graeme Bate trained chasers Radley Bale and Xylia Allen.

The Launceston Club conducted the Cup from 1936 onwards at the old White City complex until the club moved to the new track at Tasman Park in 2005 and Monday night’s Cup was the ninth staged on the circuit located inside the Mowbray Racecourse and Harness track.
