MORAL STANDARDS (1994)
YOURS TRULY HAS DECIDED THAT ON OCCASSION OVER THE NEXT FORTNIGHT I WILL DEDICATED THIS BLOG TO FIVE OF MY MOST MEMORABLE DERBY WINNERS OF OUR SPORT. TODAY ITS THE TURN OF MORAL STANDARDS.
TRAINED BY TONY MEEK, WHO HAD WON THE 93 EVENT WITH RINGA HUSTLE, MORAL STANDARDS WAS A BREATHTAKING WINNER OF THE GREYHOUND DERBY. HIS OFF THE PACE STYLE OF RUNNING MADE HIM A REAL CROWD PLEASER AND HIS PEFORMANCE ON FINAL NIGHT WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS. THE WHITE AND BLACK SON OF DUAL PURPOSE SIRE FLAG STAR AND DAM NO WAY JOSE WAS TWO YEARS AND A MONTH OLD WHEN HE CAME FROM THE BACK TO RUN IN THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE SPORT IN A THEN RAPID 28.59. IN THE FINAL THAT YEAR WERE BLISTERING EARLY PACERS AYR FLYER, FLAG THE FAWN AND UP THE JUNCTION AS WELL AS THE BRILLIANT MOANING LAD WHO WAS TO GO ON TO WIN THE DERBY THE FOLLOWING YEAR. CHARLIE LISTER, WHO HAD THEN JUST JOINED THE PROFESSIONAL RANKS, ALSO HAD A RUNNER WITH ULTRA CONSISTANT CALLAHOW DALY. MORAL STANDARDS WAS A GOOD A WINNER OF THE DERBY AS YOU'LL SEE, HE HAD TO BE TO BEAT A FIELD LIKE THAT!
