Tim Britton and Martina Kirillidis, renowned figures in Australian greyhound racing, relocated to Queensland with aspirations of competing at the highest levels. Setting up a satellite kennel in Churchable, they have been consistent winners at Albion Park, leading up to their participation in the Group 1 Queensland Cup Final. Their standout performer, Red Dirt Road, made history earlier by claiming a Group 3 victory in the Origin series, setting the stage for the upcoming challenge.
Red Dirt Road, a kennel star, symbolizes hope and determination for Britton and Kirillidis as they gear up for the prestigious race. Despite facing setbacks due to an Achilles injury in the past, Red Dirt Road has showcased remarkable consistency and resilience, culminating in a miraculous recovery that has seen him excel in recent races, including the Origin triumph and the Dashing Corsair decider.
Described as an “absolute bull” by Britton, Red Dirt Road’s robust nature and competitive spirit make him a formidable contender. With a career stakes earnings of $252,045, Red Dirt Road’s return to form post-injury has been commendable, earning him a place in the Queensland Cup Final lineup alongside kennelmate Light Of Mine.
Light Of Mine, although a relative newcomer with just two wins in 18 races, displays promise as a future stayer, evident in her qualification for the Group 1 event. Britton anticipates further improvement from Light Of Mine, emphasizing her strength in finishing and projecting a bright future for the young greyhound.
The Queensland Cup Final signifies a significant milestone for Britton and Kirillidis, who view the event as a culmination of their hard work and dedication since establishing their kennel in Queensland. The prospect of winning the prestigious race together represents a full-circle moment for the duo, highlighting the progress they have made in their new home state.
As they prepare for the Queensland Cup Final, the Britton family’s presence extends to the Brisbane Cup, with Mepunga Reward set to compete under the guidance of leading Victorian trainer Jeff Britton. The upcoming races not only showcase the talent and perseverance of the greyhounds but also underscore the passion and commitment of trainers like Tim Britton and Martina Kirillidis in the competitive world of greyhound racing.
