Young Harrison

Glen Welsh wrote to me late last year asking if it would be possible to find the replay of the 1999 Adelaide Cup won by his parents greyhound Young Harrison. With plenty of help from long time South Australian administrator Shaun Mathieson the replay is now online for all to see. Young Harrison was a 1996 whelp by On The Payroll from Dashing Monarch. A fawn dog he had 60 starts for 16 wins five seconds and eight thirds. Earning $72,450. He first raced for a win in a maiden at Shepparton on the 31 of August 1997. He won at Cranbourne three times, Sandown five times including four in a row in July 1998, his best winning time there was 29.95. He also won at Healesville up the straight. His other impressive win was a heat of the Perth Cup at Cannington in 1999, he had no luck in the final. Young Harrison retired in November 1999.
