EXPLORER 26 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 VANDERWORP is a son of the great US dog KELSOS FUSILEER (sire of FERNANDO BALE) out of HIGH RECALL (a winner of 12 from 24 and $50k) who is a full sister to multiple Group 1 winner STAR RECALL (winner of 40 from 71 and $445k). The damline is littered with Group performers going back generations. VANDERWORP is a winner at 16 of 29 career starts with earnings of $120k and is renowned for his dazzling early and mid race speed. At 19 months of age he made the Group 2 WA Derby final before heading to SA for the SA Derby once again making the final only to be scratched due to a tendon injury. After 6 months on the sidelines he returned for a tilt at the Group 1 Perth Cup where he ran lightning early sectionals to lead his heat everywhere but the post. He then lead throughout in the Group 3 Perth Cup Consolation only to be run down late by the very strong Robert Britton dog BENALI. VANDERWORP lead his next 5 races at Canninton throughout in quick times at which point it was decided to target the Group 2 Bendigo Cup. He won his heat well after suffering interference mid race beating LIGHTNING FRANK and running past ZOOM OUT up the straight. The Group 2 Final brought together some of the best greyhounds in Australia with BIG FLOOD, ORSON ALLEN, STRIKER LIGHT, BERNARDO, BLACK FORGE, ASTON DUKE and PETER GALO joining VANDERWORP in the final. VANDERWORP exploded from the boxes to lead early then put a space on STRIKER LIGHT through the middle of the race to win the final comfortably by nearly 2 lengths leading all the way. VANDERWORP has commenced stud duties and has arrived in NZ, his first pups are on the ground in Australia and cracking types. Inject speed, chase and amazing temperament into your pups with Vanderworp. He is available at Shirley vets contact calum weir Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
