Joe Baldacchino -Lovely dog. Great Stud. I do however, have a little tidbit to boast about. My bitch, Friendly Native, raced against him twice @ Wenty and beat him both times.

Howard Gray– And what a real character his trainer the late Tom Patterson was as well as a top conditioner..I remember the sign he had on his acreage/kennels just outside Ipswich that went something like “I patrol this property with my shotgun 5 nights a week…You guess what nights”.

We went to Tom’s funeral and the hundreds of greyhound folk that attended were testament to the respect he was held within the sport.

Jeff Collerson– Until Worthy Reward came along and became a successful sire while standing at Sam Cauchi’s at Calga, breeders shunned stayers when looking for stud dogs. Worthy Reward changed all that.
