SHIMA SHINES IN HARRISON-DAWSON HEATS May 14, 2021 8:52 am by Mick Floyd Harrison-Dawson at On the coldest race night of 2021, Shima Shine defied the conditions to narrowly miss becoming the first dog to break the 29 second barrier twice, stopping the clock at 29.003 and powering into his seventh group 1 final. “He went good the boy,” said handler Korie Heinrich on behalf of trainer Andrea Dailly. “I wasn’t expecting that but when the time came up I was pretty wrapped.” While Shima Shine has long been regarded one of the country’s fastest greyhounds, his inconsistent box manners was cause for concern for some, especially with just one win from his five previous starts entering the series. However he soon put paid to any concerns, capitalising on a clean run to the post to carve out impressive splits to record the eighth fastest gallop ever at Sandown Park.
