War Hawk too good again at Bulli
War Hawk stepped out for his 10th start and notched up a fourth-straight win on Tuesday night at Bulli.
The Penny Hutchinson-trained chaser lined up in the 472m fifth-grade contest as a short-priced favourite at $1.05 with online greyhound bookmakers.
Jumping from the inside box, he got the rails run to hit the lead and swung the bend well out in front.
He ran on to beat home Ibrox Cooper ($7.50) and Emerley Red ($34) by four-and-a-quarter lengths in a time of 26.27.
