Three of the four 520m races held at Dapto last Thursday were taken out by the first offspring of Aria's The One, who cost owner Jason Sing just $2200 as a six month old puppy.
Thursday night's hat-trick was posted by Mr Severide and his litter sisters Fly High Bim and Aria's Dream, who were bred and are owned and trained by Sing and his partner Ashleigh Harris.
The wins could not have come at a better time for Harris and Sing as they have Aria's The One's second litter on the market.
"In training we have six members of the first litter, by Aussie Infrared from Aria's The One, but we live on a house block at Dapto and also have six puppies from our brood bitch's second litter, sired by Good Odds Harada,'' Sing said.
"Ashleigh and I have two daughters, Aria, who is seven, and four year old Lucy, and we have another little girl on the way.
"So apart from not having enough space to keep a dozen race dogs I also work full time and we are going to have to sell the new litter, which only turned 12 months old on Saturday and are still unbroken.
"There is nothing between the trio which won at Dapto and we are now planning to trial them at Wentworth Park and look for a couple of one to three wins restricted races for them there.
"I got started in greyhounds when I bought Aria's The One, the dam of this good litter, as a six months old puppy for only $2200.
"She won 10 races and ran 23 placings but looks like being even more successful as a brood bitch.''
None of the current Aussie Infrared litter has yet won in the city although another sibling, My Lucy Rose, was "robbed" of success when she led throughout to win a 520m maiden race at Wentworth Park on November 16.
After a brief delay, the event was declared a "no race" with stewards deciding the the dogs had been in the starting boxes for an abnormally long 37 seconds due to a green light malfunction.
Jason Sing said: "That was a huge disappointment because when My Lady Rose contested a similar race at Wentworth Park a week later she was about to come in season and was below her best when finishing fifth.
"She has not raced since due to her seasonal condition.''
While Jason Sing is relatively new to the world of racing, a love of the sport could well be in his genes as his great grandfather Arthur Sing was a leading bookmaker on Sydney thoroughbred tracks in the 1950s and 60s.
Renowned racing authority Ken Callander commented: "Arthur Sing may not have been the biggest bookie at tracks like Randwick and Rosehill but he was always the first to put up the prices.
"Without fail Arthur would display his market before all the bigger bookies and then they would copy him.''
Double Baroque's owner Sue Tindall came up with a great line after her Daniel Gatt-trained dog notched his eighth Wentworth Park win on Saturday night.
"In my working life I was a high school mathematics teacher, now I only have to worry about numbers one to eight,'' Tindall quipped.
Ian Darcey was in the right place at the right time when he visited fellow Hunter Valley trainer Chris Kedwell to assist him with some fencing on his property in early 2020.
"I noticed some nine month old puppies tearing up and down one of the yards and asked Chris if any were for sale,'' Darcey recalled.
"He said there was just one left, a black bitch, and because I really liked the way she galloped I bought her.
"On Saturday night at Wentworth Park that bitch, now racing as Mac Fly, gave me a winner with my first trip to Sydney in six years.
"She is first reserve for a Maitland to Wenty final on Wednesday so rather than take her to Sydney to trial after the last event I put her in a race, even though she had not seen the track.
"Mac Fly led all the way and ran a respectable 30.07, pretty good considering she had not been around two turns or over 520m for 10 months.''
