Tigger ‘pulls the trigger’

Tiggerlong Tonk held firm in the run to the finish line despite the best efforts of a closing Shima Shine.

Australian greyhound racing has a new ‘sprinting sharpshooter’ – Tiggerlong Tonk.

Trained by Correy Grenfell, Tiggerlong Tonk ‘shot the lights out’, setting a race record in tonight’s Group 3 Shootout (515m) at Sandown.

The outsider in the $25,000 winner-take-all four-dog match race, Tiggerlong Tonk ($6.50) outgunned Shima Shine ($2.40F) by 1.5L, with Christo Bale ($4.60) a further 1L away third in a sizzling 29.03sec. Hard Style Rico ($2.50) finished fourth.

Tiggerlong Tonk gave Grenfell his second Shootout, having scored with Orson Allen in 2018, and became the 10th winner from Box 5 since the race’s inception in 1998.
