bamboozla Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Sad to see the former champ go amiss tonight but hope he gets a well deserved retirement. Although far from his best in his latest campaign he really was a phenomenal chaser at his peak, his ability to run sub 30 second times at Addington in virtually any track condition was second to none. It was certainly a golden period when we had Dave, his brother Elwyn and Bago Bye Bye all pushing the record steadily lower. NZ breeders looking for a quality local sire could do far worse than giving Dave a crack. Well done to connections of winners in the Cup and Galaxy.

Very sad to see him pull up the way he did, devastating to say the least... after everything he had achieved, was there really a need to bring him back?

bamboozla Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Probably not, but I am not aware of how he had been trialing or general fitness. I would like to think if I was ever lucky enough to get a dog as good as Dyna Dave I would pull the plug a few months early instead of later but each to there own. The reverse in Austalia if you have a stud dog prospect and there is even a hint on injury they are retired immediately. I hope he gets a few bitches anyway, for mine I think he is the most complete 500m race dog we have seen. In another era he could have won close to 400-500k, his strength and tenacity was faultless and he was very durable. There have been a few others that could probably run similar times but they had flaws be it non chasers or injury prone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed so much heart and determination each time, you're right, the complete package! All the best to him! Was a joy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
