Tribeca has been scratched from the Launching Pad Qualifier at Sandown Park on Thursday, but the line isn’t drawn through the series for the young gun.
“He sustained a hock strain and it’s had to be treated,” co-trainer Jamie Ennis said.
“He will be fine for the Launching Pad.”
Tribeca is a winner of four of six starts but announced himself as a potential star of the future when winning a Vic Bred Maiden Final at The Meadows on Australian Cup night.
He’s bred and owned by Harry and Adean Manolitsis who dubbed the son of Aston Rupee – Elevated as the second fastest greyhound they have ever had during the education phase behind Revolution.
The Launching Pad is a three week sweepstakes series aimed at young greyhounds (with 1-6 wins, no more than 30 starts) and kicks off with heats on Thursday April 3.
Any registered person, syndicate, Club or Association are able to buy a slot. They are available to be purchased until Monday March 31, unless sold out. Head to sandowngreyhounds.com.au for more details.
