Duffman poised for Ipswich Golden Chase glory for Jedda Cutlack
Brayden Gurney and Dean Mentz, who were once classmates with up-and-coming greyhound trainer Jedda Cutlack, decided to get into greyhound ownership after being impressed by her achievements on TV.
Together, they acquired Duffman, a greyhound that recently won the Vince Curry championship.
They are now gearing up to compete in the high-stakes Group 3 Golden Chase Final at Ipswich, where a $100,000 grand prize is up for grabs.
Cutlack, a rising talent in the world of training, holds the majority share in Duffman, while Gurney and Mentz own the rest.
Their first venture as greyhound owners turned out to be a success when Duffman emerged victorious at the Ipswich Tracks Group 3 event for novice racers, leaving spectators amazed.
Duffman, named after The Simpsons iconic character Duffman, was carefully chosen by Cutlack based on his looks and family lineage that matched her kennels standards.

His retired litter sisters, Showdown, Sunburst, and Shaye, previously managed by Cutlack, collectively earned $500,000 in winnings and competed at Group level competitions.
Despite facing some challenges during the Golden Chase series, Duffman's perseverance led him to qualify for the race.
Duffman is set for box three and is currently priced at $4.60 with the top greyhound bookmakers for the 520 metre competition.
The Golden Chase, a refreshed edition of the Ipswich Auction series, has seen a rise in prize money for the 520 metre final, which has now gained attraction from breeders and entries from other states.
Cutlack recognises the race's increasing importance and looks forward to its success.
As Duffman readies himself for the Golden Chase Final, Cutlack, Gurney, and Mentz are filled with a sense of anticipation and thrill.
Their transformation from bettors to owners of top-notch greyhounds encapsulates the charm and unpredictability of the sport.
