Electrolyte deficiencies may lead to dehydration, cramping, poorperformance and nervousness.WHAT IS BETA-CEL?PAUL McIlveen went for just a bit offun and cleaned up, Di O’Donnell wentto defend her title and did just that.It was the greyhound section at theRNA and Paul and Di were just two fromthe industry happy to showcase theirquality looking greyhounds.For McIlveen it was his first taste ofthe hectic life that is the show ring andhe loved it.“My 10-month-old Surf Lorian-BETA-CEL ®Available in 350g, 1kg and 2kg tubsCoonowrin Red dog pup got the blueribbon plus a nice little trophy, not tomention the $250 cash,” he said.“One can only hope he runs as fast ashis looks would indicate. I found itamazing more people don’t show theirdogs. Most classes only had four or six inthe field.“I have found from speaking to manypeople in the greyhound industry, thereare many owners who keep their dogs aspets, and I feel they would get a realbuzz out of showing their dogs as I did.“I found the whole experience to be afun day out, you do that when you win Isuppose, but for a $12 nomination fee forthe dog you get a pass for entry into theshow (normally $22).“The whole thing takes about 30minutes and there are people who willshow the dog for you, if you don’t feelyou want to do it.“I believe the greyhound industrygets a positive response from the publicwhen they see how placid the dogs areand in particular when members of thepublic got to pat my dog, found how softand cuddly he was, many saying theywanted one as a pet,” he said.Di O’Donnell is a regular at the RNAand her nine-year-old bitch Vanilla(Polar Princess) was defending her titlein the broodbitch class.Vanilla won taking her record tothree wins in the past five years at theRNA.There are few more dedicatedgreyhound people than Di and her sonRick.Results:Broodbitches: Rick and DiO’Donnell’s Polar Princess (AwesomeMcLaren-Golden Lilly)Dogs 12 months or older: S Holzigal’sLater Gater (Deep North-Nearly Neery)Bitches 12 months or older: BrookeLiddle’s Celtic Goddess (Aw4esomeMcLaren-Blue Ridge Lady)Dogs 6-12 months: Paul McIlveen’sSam (Surf Lorian-Coonowrin Red)Bitches 6-12 months: AnthonyGurowski’s Chloe (Go Wild Teddy-Capishe’s Figlia)S80-2915WHY CHOOSE BETA-CEL?Prevents electrolyte deficiencies that may lead todehydration, cramping, poor performance andnervousnessCommon greyhound diets may not contain sufficientelectrolytes (body salts) to meet the needs of racinggreyhounds.

Troy, Michelle and AnthonyBunney with their firstwinner Awesome Gordon.Awesome winbrings downstress levelsBy DAVID BRASCHIN May 2006 Anthony Bunney decidedit was time to get into greyhound racing …he needed something to take the stress out ofhis life.Bunney certainly was due for some stressrelief.He had almost been killed when a cherrypicker he was working in 30 metres aboveground malfunctioned and tried to tip him out.The bucket at the top of the cherry pickertipped on a 30 degree angle. Anthony heldon for his life. He held on for two and a halfhours.Finally a crane was brought in with abasket at the top and Anthony had to jumpfrom the cherry picker’s bucket into thebasket.He did not work for more than a year.“There was no way I could go back upinto the cherry picker,” he said.He has only just gone back to work, inthe more sedate confines of a BunningsWarehouse.But in the meantime, to help him get overthat near-death experience, Anthony decidedhe wanted to get back into greyhound racing.It wasn’t as though it was something newfor him. His dad Greg and mum Yvonne hadbeen highly successful in the sport for manydecades in Queensland.The youngest of six kids, Anthonyproduced his first winner when AwesomeGordon won a maiden at Ipswich recently andit was the thrill of a lifetime for he and wifeMichelle and seven-year-old son Troy.But the regret for Anthony was that hisdad had died in October last year and his mumfollowed just five months later.“Dad was always giving me advice abouttraining dogs. I just wish I had listened tohim,” he said. “It’s all coming back nowthough.”Greg Bunney was a most astute greyhoundman.He prepared Evergreen Lass to win a timehonouredQueensland Cup at Beenleigh whenthe race was one of the best in the land.“He also took Rain Top to Harold Parkfor an interstate final, and won lots of raceswith dogs like Cheerful Chief and MisterMint,” said Anthony.“Dad was part of the white shoe brigadeof the day. He had hundreds of winners but Iwas too young to remember many of them.”Anthony says his dad even swam his dogstied to the Moggill Ferry. “You can imaginethe ferry allowing that to happen today,” hesaid.“He was a great man with a greyhoundand learned his trade from great old dogmenlike Vince Boland.”Greg Bunney was secretary andgroundsman at Capalaba many years ago.Anthony paid $500 for Awesome Gordon(Most Awesome-Golden Irish) from RobertWall and got a giveaway called Serious Electfrom him as well.“I bought Awesome Gordon as a 17-month-old broken in,” he said. “He hasimproved out of sight in recent months.”The Ipswich victory was one celebratedby all the family.“We did not take our son Troy because itwas mid-week and we didn’t want him to havea late night during the week,” said Anthonyof the night Awesome Gordon won.“But by the time I got home, Michelle saidthere was no way Troy was going to sleep hewas that excited about the dog winning.”Anthony reckons his biggest hope in theindustry will be with Gregevon a son of SurfLorian-Model Adele.“He’s 14 months old and I bought himLeaders forthe past 16years in theCollection,Storage andInseminationof FrozenSemen totheGreyhoundRacingIndustryManly Road VetPhone(07) 33969733from Lorain Grant with some of the moneymum and dad left us in their will,” saidAnthony. “I’ve joined dad and mum’s namestogether to name this dog.”condition and that anyone who racedtheir dog on the track had no respect Lismore for 30.17their greyhound.A local TV station picked up on it and2KY stood Standing Paul down at for ... a week for hisoutburst.Paul now works in more modernbroadcasting boxes at Wentworth Parkwhich are carpeted, air-conditioned andeven has a fridge and kitchen Lot facilities. 35 Smith Rd, Park RidgePA is also a family man.His wife Pat (Paul has forgotten howlong they have been married) is alwaysNew ServicesNow OfferedFREE RETURN ** Phone for DetailsNON SURGICALINSEMINATION(TCI - no anaesthetic)Wild Voodoo(Go Wild Teddy x Voodoo Princess)17 wins, his first 8 straight.
