Vamoose returns to winning ways at Maitland
Vamoose stormed back into the winner's circle on Monday with a dominant victory at Maitland over the 400m trip.
Last start, the Susan Smith-trained chaser went down to Speeding Fine in the Richmond Cannonball Final.
Despite the runner-up finish, he was sent out on Monday in the 400m contest as a $1.30 race favourite with greyhound betting sites.
Jumping from box two, he found the lead soon after box rise and held it for the entire trip, winning in a time of 22.18.
He beat home Clock Off ($4.80) and Scramjet ($9.50) by 5.25 lengths.

In June, he saluted in the $75,000-to-the-winner Thunderbolt Final over the Grafton 350m as a $3.20 joint favourite.
He had previously raced in one black-type final, finishing second behind Len Me Dad in the Group 2 Maitland Cup in March.
