Crazy Old Goat, who has his own bedroom in his trainer's house, will trial at Bathurst on Thursday in preparation for Monday's heats of the Orange Cup.
Trainer Andrew Weise has done a remarkable job with Crazy Old Goat, who becomes eligible for Masters’ races in March and whose winning time at WP last Saturday was 30.03, a mere .02sec outside his personal best figures posted in November, 2020.
"He has had a few injuries so I'm hoping to keep the Goat in one piece until the Masters Meteor series gets under way at WP on April 27,'' Weise said.
"The $100,000 to the winner final is on May 7 and if he holds his present form Crazy Old Goat should be competitive in that event.
"I plan to stay away from Wenty next week when all the top notchers will be busy at the track and head for Bathurst for the Orange Cup heats, where the final is worth $6000 to the winner.''
Compliance, trained in Victoria by former Sydneysider Karen Pitt, had his first look at WP on Saturday night in preparation for Friday's heats of the group 1 National Derby.
A winner of five from seven starts down south, Compliance trialled solo over 520m in a moderate 30.43, but appeared to knuckle over as he left the starting boxes.
His sectional times were 5.53, 14.15 and 18.41 with a run home of 12.02.
John Finn, who trained the 1985 National Derby winner RAPID SUPREME, will have a surprise candidate in Friday night's WP heats following Flighty Fernando's upset win at WP last Saturday night.
Flighty Fernando came from fourth at the pen abd third on the back straight to win a 520m fifth grade in 29.92, breaking the 30sec barrier for the first time in 11 WP appearances.
After the Finn's wife Minnie said: "I gave Flighty Fernando no hope tonight because he drew box eight.
"In the past he has always wanted to run across towards the rails as soon as he jumps and on top of that, this dog had been in a sour mood all week.
"I always rated him no more than a useful greyhound and can't believe how much he has improved, he has now won four at Wenty, including two Saturday night races, so deserves a crack at the Derby heats.''
Diamantina Rose has been retired after contesting 100 races for Sydney trainers Christine and Alan Proctor and earning over $100,000 in prizemoney.
Diamantina Rose had won just one from five Victorian races when she was sent to the Proctors' Londonderry kennels from where she scored 13 wins and registered 44 placings.
She is owned by leading Melbourne trainer Jeff Britton's partner Angela Langton and her mother Sue Smith, who is keen to breed a litter from the rejuvenated sprinter.
