The Mighty Eureka Man

One of the Great chasers of the late 80’s into the early 90’s was Eureka Man. Raced and trained by Healesville stalwart Ken Pattison. He was judged the 1990 Victorian Greyhound of the Year. The black chaser by Preety Fearless won the award in controversial circumstances due to the rules set maintaining contenders had to have a set number of starts at both city tracks with Superstar Highly Blessed due to injury late in the year unable to fill that part of the crytirer. She raced so often interstate winning also every feature she contested. The rule was correctly scrapped in 1991. Perhaps his best win was the 1991 Cranbourne Cup he beat an outstanding field.
