In Brief
- Exeter trainer secures 12th greyhound trainers' premiership title.
- Bullock with a big team to start 2021
- 209 winners produced from 94 starters all trained by Bullock.
Exeter-based greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock collected his 12th greyhound trainers’ premiership title in 13 years as the 2020 Tasmanian greyhound season came to a close at Ladbrokes Park Hobart last Thursday night.
Bullock entered only 5 runners for the New Year’s eve meeting for two winners and a third placegetter.
2020 saw Bullock prepare 209 winners for the calendar year from 940 starters with 457 minor placings.
Gypsies Luck wins a heat for the Devonport Chase on 17 November.
The past year can only be described as a turbulent one after the COVID-19 pandemic saw the Tasmanian racing industry face a 10-week shutdown period, resulting in some trainers making an emergency move interstate.
Bullock was moderately successful in taking 19 runners across Bass Strait and continued racing in Victoria.
