Cash Masters Emerges With Gold For Gainey

WARWICK dog man Pat Gainey has been in the industry for 12 years but it took until Thursday night at Albion Park for him to win his first Listed event when Cash Master brilliantly won the QGOLD Emerging Sprinters in a lightning 29.58.

Pat and the dog's trainer Robert Cooke have been sharing litters for the past couple of years.

“Cookie has been supplying the bitches, we breed the litters and go halves,” said Pat.

Cash Master is by Aston Dee Bee and Cashpot. The dam had produced Group stars Cash View and Cash Stack from her first litter by Raw Ability.

Cash Master, already the Grafton 350m track record holder at 19.64, scored by an even-widening 11 lengths over Atomic Bill and Perfect Tyrant.

“Cookie has been telling me for ages just how good he is,” said Pat. “But, I wouldn't believe him.”

Cash Master had run second in his heat behind Hidden Agenda.

“But, we thought the box draw really worked in his favour tonight,” said Pat.

“We've had a good bet on him.”

Cashpot has a litter by Flying Ricciardo just educated and another by Beast Unleashed.

“We still have her at home and I'd love to get another litter out of her,” said Pat.

“But she is getting on.”

Cooke has not made future plans for Cash Master but Pat said it appeared an obvious target to set him for the up-coming Group 2 Queensland Derby.

Pat Gainey drove the few hours from Warwick to Albion Park for the final.

“It's my first Listed winner,” he said.

“We've got 40 dogs on our property at home.”

Cash Master has now won eight of 12 starts and earned $38,000.

He put together a string of six wins at Grafton leading into the QGOLD series.

He had the race won when he led through a 5.48 first section.
