Metung trainer Harley Whelan had a night out at the Sale Greyhounds meeting last Sunday, training a treble highlighted by kennel star Lakeview Emily ($1.10) winning impressively over 510 metres.
It was Lakeview Emily’s first win from three attempts on her home track and
her 26th win from 62
career starts, recording a sensational 28.47, around four lengths outside the track record.
The valuable bitch has now amassed prizemoney of more than 628,000.
Whelan’s other two winners recorded the fastest two times for the night over the 435 metre trip.
