Canya All Class put on a display of pure talent in the fourth and final TRFM Sale Cup heat tonight, setting a new track record in the process.
After missing the start, Canya All Class worked the outside of the track passing Zipping Kai and Utrillo Bale with ease – setting a new time standard of 36.19 seconds.
The Jess Hopkins trained chaser lowered Ethanol Water’s time of 36.23 seconds set on the 8th of December this year.
“He had been out of the 435 as a puppy and trialled really quick,” Jess Hopkins said post-race.
“The look last Tuesday helped him get around the first turn a bit.”
“He chases so hard and gives 100 percent.”
Canya All Class has the pressure of Jess’ Nan and Pop’s star greyhound, Wylie Boy hanging over him.
Wylie Boy broke the track record in both the Sale Cup heat and Sale Cup in the 1990’s. And to top it off, Wylie Boy won back-to-back Sale Cups.
Canya All Class is well on his way to following suit after drawing box one in the Boxing Day event.
Returning Victorian Trooper Tears won heat three of the TRFM Sale Cup from box one, leading all of the way. A short Sale Cup campaign on the cards before returning to Queensland where he has resided for the past seven months.
“He showed good strength, but he doesn’t want any further – 640 is his limit,” handler Peter Riley said post-race.
