2009 Victorian Waterloo Cup Round Up
Another Waterloo Cup run and won! This year the Waterloo Cup meeting was held at Longwood and what a fine meeting it was. As is the norm, the weather through some challenges to the coursing fraternity and naturally we met the challenges head on and the meeting didn’t miss a beat.
Saturday we saw the first ties of the Waterloo Cup with 58 greyhounds contesting this $10,000 event. All trainers knew it was going to be a 6 run haul for the eventual winner and runner up.
Black Hummer was a strong favourite, with Campaspe Jack, King’s Wizard, Santosa’s Rose, Voodoo Oak, Storm Fury, Head Barista, Syonic Line, and Bull Bar Barb all in the running. All of these greyhounds had coursed well during the season, winning several events.
During the first round we saw Black Hummer and Campaspe Jack drawn against each other and this course gained a maximum amount of attention. Black Hummer gained the advantage from slips and even though Campaspe Jack made a late charge near the finish, Black Hummer moved to the next round.
During the third round another course where there was a good bit of interest saw the two bitches contesting the coursing bitch of the year meet at slips. Voodoo Oak exited the slips brilliantly leaving Santosa’s Rose with a job to do to try and haul this Dark Brindle bitch in. But Voodoo Oak’s lead was too great and she despatched Santosa’s Rose as she’d done with here previous two rivals on the day.
There were many close courses and as is the case with this feature meeting, greyhounds defeated in the first round of the Waterloo Cup are eligible to contest the Waterloo Plate, greyhounds defeated in the second round of the Waterloo Cup are eligible to contest the Waterloo Purse.
Greyhounds defeated in the third round of the Waterloo Cup and another other greyhounds defeated during the day can enter the Challenge Cup which this year was named as a memorial in honour of Bert Clark, a long-time stalwart of the Longwood Coursing Club.
At the end of the first day, the following greyhounds were to continue the on Sunday.
