Tonight, a new star was born in the world of greyhound racing as Tribeca (https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/1148742945/race/9) stormed to victory in the Group 3 Silver Bullet (525m) at The Meadows, marking his maiden Group race win. But here's where it gets exciting: this isn't just any victory—it's a breakthrough that signals Tribeca's arrival as a force to be reckoned with on the big stage. Trained by the skilled Brooke Ennis, this talented chaser burst from box eight, quickly gaining momentum and effortlessly overtaking the field before surging ahead to claim his first Group-level triumph.
Tribeca first captured national attention earlier this year during the Australian Cup Carnival’s maiden series, where he remained undefeated and delivered two standout performances in just three races. And this is the part most people miss: despite an unlucky fourth-place finish in the Group 2 Cranbourne Cup due to early interference, Tribeca bounced back tonight with a performance that left no doubt about his potential.
With this win under his belt, Tribeca’s connections are now eyeing a massive summer campaign, including a starring role in the 2025 Sportsbet Dream Chasers Festival (https://www.dreamchasersfestival.com.au/). Kicking off this Saturday at The Meadows with the Group 1 Topgun, Topgun Stayers, and Hume Cup, the festival promises to be a thrilling showcase of talent—and Tribeca is expected to be at the heart of it. But here’s the controversial part: could Tribeca be a serious contender for the Melbourne Cup? While it’s a bold prediction, his recent form suggests he’s more than capable of making waves in one of the sport’s most prestigious events.
In tonight’s Silver Bullet, Tribeca clocked an impressive 30.12 seconds, edging out Topgun contender Smooth Plane to secure the win. Earlier in the evening, the Hume Cup heats saw Team Dailly steal the show, winning three out of six heats and cementing their status as a kennel to watch.
As Tribeca’s journey continues, one question lingers: Is he the next big name in greyhound racing, or is this just the beginning of a much larger story? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—do you think Tribeca has what it takes to dominate the upcoming festivals and beyond?
