Recognize our member 16-year-old Shane Hookey at Ringwood Technical School with his dog Spot Tornado. Leading Victorian trainer at that time Pat Haas hosted 30 students from forms one to four studying Greyhound training and racing. The popular Hookey became one of the best Coursing slippers Victoria has produced and served a stint as President of the Lang Lang Coursing Club.
