Angel Shirley is "95 percent certain" to miss the Golden Easter Egg series to compete against her own age in the group 3 Simply Limelight New Sensation heats at Wentworth Park on April 3.
Angel Shirley began only fairly but railed to an early lead before winning a fifth grade by 10 lengths at Wentworth Park on Friday in a best of the night 29.55.
Trainer Peter Lagogiane said: "I told her owner Kevin Chalk that Angel Shirley is going to be our next French Martini and we need to nurture her.
"She is so quick she is capable of winning anything, but I'm inclined to let her race against young greyhounds of a similar age in the New Sensation.
"After that we can tackle events like Brisbane's Flying Amy Classic and the Group 3 Ladies Bracelet heats for bitches at Wentworth Park on April 27.
"Angel Shirley has thrived since being handled by my offsider Jorja-Louise Howard, this greyhound has really taken a shine to her and I'm convinced she races better when looked after by a woman.''
Kevin Schalk bought Angel Shirley as a four-month-old puppy for $7000 after being attracted by her breeding, sired by Superior Panama and produced by Really Unreal.
Really Unreal won by 15 races for the late John Finn and is a younger half-sister to John and Minnie Finn's champions Blue Moon Rising, Poco Dorado and Veloce Nero.
When Angel Shirley won at Wentworth Park on Friday she gave Schalk his first city winner since Fawn Stiletto, which he raced in partnership with his brother John, and who won at Harold and Wentworth Parks in 1977.
"Fawn Stiletto won over both sprint and long distances at each of the city tracks, remarkable for a dog which cost us only $400,'' Kevin Schalk recalled.
"When I bought Angel Shirley I felt she would make a good brood bitch because of her dam line so to see her winning in 29.55 at Wenty and 29.42 at Richmond is a bonus.
"I became interested in greyhounds when I was not much more than a kid, working for Tony Duke on his greyhound breeding property in western Sydney.
"Duke owned and bred champions like Rose Moss and Mister Moss, so to be owning a greyhound with similar potential is fantastic.''
Cheeky Cheeky, who notched her fourth Wentworth Park win on Friday night, is from the first and only litter whelped by Cheeky Lass for owner Wilma Messina and her husband, trainer Tony.
Despite lifting her earnings to $25,000 on Friday, Cheeky Cheeky won't be joined by any future siblings.
Cheeky Lass, who was a front-running speedster like her daughter Cheeky Cheeky, won a dozen races in 2019 and 2020 but Wilma Messina said: "It's become too difficult for me to assist in bitches whelping their puppies and on top of that we already have six pet greyhounds at home.
"The 520m distance is as far as Cheeky Cheeky wants to go because as soon as she reaches the catching pen after a race she stops quickly.
"But we are very happy with her because when she took a tumble at Wenty on December 1 we were concerned that might make her frightened at that track.
"But it obviously hasn't affected her at all because she has since won twice at Wentworth Park.''
Cheeky Cheeky winning on Friday
Bradshaw, placed in five of 11 races before Friday night, broke through for his first win for his nine-year-old owner Hunter Callaughan at Wentworth Park on Friday night.
The red fawn dog had been placed in two of four Wentworth Park appearances before overcoming his customary slow start to lead going through the catching pen and then holding off a luckless Prowess to win by two lengths in 30.24.
After the race trainer John Callaughan said: "This dog is named after my son Brad and after I gave it to him as a pup he handed the dog over to his nine-year-old son Hunter.''
