Senor Slamma began his career in Victoria before making his way to the Gary Johnson kennel after 10 race starts. At his peak, around two and a half years of age, he won 20 races from just 30 starts with a further 6 placings and excelled on the Devonport track.

He finished last at his first Tasmanian start before showing his true ability the following week with a blistering 25.34 winning run. His almost faultless box manners enabled him to win multiple races from every box and his fastest win on the track came from a wide draw against a classy invitation field.

He won an amazing 45 races during his three-and-a-half years of racing with 26 of those on the Devonport track. Well over two-years after his personal best run, he was still performing at a very high level and took out the Devonport Show Cup with a typical, front-running performance.
