Flying Envy Carries Sentiment Into Bold Trease

TERRY Erenshaw hails from greyhound racing royalty being the grandson of Hall of Famer Ned Bryant. 

This Saturday night at Sandown Park Erenshaw will line up Flying Envy in the Group 1 Bold Trease (715m), a raced named in honour of a greyhound bred by his Nana – Maureen Bryant, Ned Bryant's wife. 

"This is one of the races I would love to win because of Nana," Terry Erenshaw said. 

FIELDS AND FORM SANDOWN PARK SATURDAY NIGHT

Flying Envy, bred by Terry and his partner Kim, is just two starts into her staying career and has already found her way into a Group 1. 

"We thought she would do well because she had been trialing super in the lead up and she also loves racing in a smaller field," Erenshaw said of the heat victory. 

On paper, a string of missed placings over 600 metres appeared less than desirable for Flying Envy heading into her Bold Trease heat, but it was all part of Erenshaw's plan to have her primed for the event. 

"She doesn't like the bend starts over 600m but we needed to get the runs under her belt to have her ready," Erenshaw said. 

Flying Envy held off Ella's Babe who is fast making a name for herself with her come-from-behind racing style. 

Flying Envy has drawn box eight in the $113,000 Bold Trease, a box that Erenshaw believes will make it very hard to win from. 

"She has got to begin and go straight to the fence to be any chance," he said.

"There is plenty of speed in the race – its certainly not your standard 700m race." 

After a perfectly planned journey to 700 metre racing, Flying Envy will continue her career over the staying trip from here on out. 

"She pulled up a treat after the Bold Trease heat, and she has continued to show us how strong she is in trials." 

The Bold Trease is race eight on the card at Sandown Park on Saturday night.
