The Greyhound
Sasha is a regally bred daughter of Spring Gun and Little Bit Fancy and was purchased for Race A Chaser Syndications at the Richmond Puppy Auctions in 2014 from the acclaimed breeders Dennis and Anne Barnes.
Sasha’s damline is prolific for producing Group and City class performers with greyhounds such as Fancy Will (WON 2011 Group 1 Paws of Thunder), Fancy Dean (FINALIST 2012 Group 1 Golden Easter Egg), Fancy Jill (WON 2013 Group 1 NZ Oaks), Mucho Caliente (FINALIST 2012 Group 1 Vic Peters Classic) and Fancy Liza (WON 2013 Group 1 Association Cup) all directly related to her.
Sasha is also closely related to Fancy Mandy (FINALIST 2010 Group 1 Golden Easter Egg), Fancy Penny (Richmond 41.85 TR) and Tonight Tonight (FINALIST 2014 Group 2 Dapto Puppy Classic).
Due to her purchase through the 2014 Richmond Puppy Auction, Sasha is eligible for the 2016 Richmond Puppy Auction race series.
The series is only open to greyhounds who were entered in the 2014 Richmond Puppy Auction and comprises of a $100,000 to the winner race in May 2016 over 535 metres, as well as two other feature races over 400 metres and 618 metres.
Sasha has been in pre-training since September 2015 and has shown promising signs of developing into a talented TAB class performer.
Sasha does not turn two years of age until May 2016 so, all going well, we can expect plenty of improvement as she continues to develop and mature into a serious racing greyhound.
By purchasing a share in Sasha, you also ensure a share in her future breeding career. Being such a beautifully bred greyhound, syndicate members can look forward to an exciting career as a brood bitch following her time on the track.

The official registered owner of Sasha is the Race A Chaser Sasha Syndicate. The syndicate has a total of 20 shares available for syndication. The price per share will be $1,100 including GST. The cost per share may increase or decrease as Sasha’s market value increases or decreases throughout her race and breeding career.

The Sire
Spring Gun is a son of the great Bombastic Shiraz (Black Shiraz x Bombastic Blonde) out of Ready For Rain (Big Daddy Cool x Ready To Rise). Spring Gun was trained in NSW by Christine Oldfield and was whelped in June 2009. The red fawn speedster won 18 of his 27 starts with one second and one third, his best win coming in the 2011 Group 1 Vic Peters Classic over 520 metres at Wentworth Park.
Since retiring to stud, Spring Gun has sired countless quality chasers including Spring Leaf (2nd 2015 Group 1 National Futurity), Armed And Ready (finalist 2015 Group 2 Shepparton Cup), Gun Mcbain (1st 2015 Group 3 Gawler Cup), Targaryen (2nd 2015 Group 2 Launching Pad), Spring Bonanza (finalist 2015 Group 2 Dapto Puppy Classic) and Magic Spring (Maitland 450m 24.74 TR).
The Dam
Little Bit Fancy is an exceptionally bred blue bitch which had 22 starts for eight wins, four seconds and two thirds including a 29.61 victory at Sandown Park and a 17.16 track record performance at Coonamble over 301 metres.
Little Bit Fancy has had two litters (including her Spring Gun litter) so far, her first litter being a 2013 mating to Head Bound which produced nine pups. Every pup from the first litter has won races, her most notable offspring being Amelia Christa, Fancy Dancer, Fixate, Little Bit Slick and Upstate Fancy.
The Grand Dam
Little Bit Fancy is a daughter of super sire Where’s Pedro out of prolific producer Sweet Fancy. Sweet Fancy is a daughter of Collision and Miss Fancy and took out the 2007 Group 3 Richmond Oaks final.
Her litter to Where’s Pedro also produced 2011 Group 1 Paws of Thunder winner Fancy Will and 2012 Group 1 Golden Easter Egg finalist Fancy Dean. Sweet Fancy also produced Fancy Liza, the winner of the 2013 Group 1 Association Cup, in her 2010 mating to Brett Lee.
