Step On Lee should time his retirement perfectly
Step On Lee has had a great time in Greyhound Racing throughout his illustrious career, but it is about time that he retires to stud life, which is also an important aspect involved in the sport.
Although, the veteran hound performed brilliantly throughout the 2012 season, yet he should not wait for things to get difficult for him. His team needs to decide his future very soon, as he has already achieved a lot in racing and should focus on some other
things.
He debuted way back in 2009 and did some trial runs before getting the real taste of things. His performances seemed really nice, so he was sent into a Grade A3 competition, where he was given the highest odds for a victory.
However, he failed to meet the expectations of the bookies back then and had to settle for the runner up position in the end. He made some bad mistakes at the start of the event, thus had no other option but to defend his second place.
However, that did not stop him from competing against the best in the business and he came back strongly with a strong run in his very next race. He was once again rated as the favourite to succeed and secured a comfortable victory at the end of the day.
After his success in this class, he moved to Grade A2 events, where he struggled to some extent, as the level of competition was tougher.
The S. Mason’s trained dog did not panic because of that and finally found a place in a Grade OR contest, which would have been a dream come true for his team. He failed to deliver a strong result in his first ever outing in this class, but got better with
the passage of time.
Brett Lee’s son out of Step Lightly never looked back from that point onwards and delivered some thumping performances for his team over the years.
However, he was not getting any younger with the passage of time, so no one would have expected him to be stronger in 2012. Despite that, he responded to the pressure and won some close contests at the highest level for his team.
There is no doubt that Step On Lee has got the potential to bag a few more victories in the sport, but there are important things for him to do, so he should look into that from now onwards.
