Orson almost pops tracks record in Cup heat

A commanding Cranbourne Cup heat win from Orson Allen will likely see the super sprinter start favourite in next Saturday’s $67,000 final.

The Correy Grenfell-trained greyhound appears primed to win his first country cup after taking out his heat in a breathtaking 29.61sec, just short of Pop The Cork’s 29.60ec track record, which has stood since 2016.

Middle boxes are generally considered a disadvantage in greyhound racing but, remarkably, three of the four heat winners exited box five, with the remaining heat won from box four.

The other heat winners were Poke The Bear (30.09sec), who once again produced an incredible come-from-behind victory, his kennelmate Azkaban (29.87sec) and Huxley (29.90sec).
