Trainer Joe Pride had a weekend to remember with a Rosehill Gardens double and maiden Group 1 victory as a greyhound owner
The Everest winning trainer Joe Pride can add another title to his ever growing racing resume – now a Group 1 winning greyhound owner. Pride, who had a winning double at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, had a weekend to savour after his emerging sprinter Gus The Jet produced a commanding performance to win the Group 1 Vic Peters Classic (520m) at Wentworth Park on Saturday night. It came just a few hours after Pride had been on track in Sydney's west to watch Estadio Mestalla cause a boilover in the Listed $200,000 Winter Stakes with stablemate Storm The Ramparts also saluting on the metropolitan card. Gus The Jet is the first greyhound Pride has ever owned and the Group 1 conditioner races the emerging talent with his son Brave and Hong Kong-based star jockey Brenton Avdulla. 'I reckon there would be a few jealous dog owners that have been in the game for years and never had a Group 1 winner so we've just walked straight in and got one but that's thanks to Brenton Avdulla, he knows what he's doing and a good trainer Michelle Sultana,' Pride said. 'It's my first greyhound and he's named after my Corgi and I've just got a horse called Gus The Great as well, so I might need a trotter now as well.' ✈ï¸� Gus The Jet takes off! He lands the @ladbrokescomau Vic Peters Classic Final in style at @wentyparkgreys tonight! #thedogs @wentyparkgreys @brentonavdulla @PrideRacing — The Dogs (@Thedogs_com_au) July 5, 2025 With wife Kylie away, Pride spent the night watching the Group 1 from the comfort of his own home with his children. 'I've actually never been to Wentworth Park,' he said. 'I am not sure what I am missing but I am sure it would have been a buzz last night. 'We gave him a cheer at home.' Pride had plenty to cheer about at Rosehill Gardens with Estadio Mestalla bouncing back to his best as a $61 outsider in the Winter Stakes while stablemate Accredited was third in the same race. Estadio Mestalla is the star player in the Listed Winter Stakes and wins at big odds! âš½ï¸�â�'ï¸� That's separate doubles to @PrideRacing and @djgibbons22 at Rosehill today! 🙌 @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 5, 2025 The Warwick Farm conditioner has a long term plan for Estadio Mestalla with the aim of gaining eligibility for the Big or Little Dance via upcoming country cups. 'We will probably look at something like Coffs (Harbour Cup) to give him his chance to get to the Big or Little Dance,' he said. 'He was in the Little Dance last year and ran second so it seems like a nice goal for him to try and line-up on Melbourne Cup day there again this year.' Pride's stable has dominated the winter feature sprint circuit in Sydney with In Flight claiming the Listed Bob Charley AO Stakes and Headley Grange scoring in the Listed Civic Stakes last month.

Josh Giddey camp won't budge on $230m contract demand, Chicago Bulls
Don't miss out on the headlines from NBA. Followed categories will be added to My News. The stalemate in Josh Giddey's contract negotiations with the Chicago Bulls remains despite 'good dialogue' between the two parties during the first week of free agency, according to Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times. Reports out of the United States state that Giddey's management will not budge from their demand for a deal replicating the one Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs signed last year. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. Suggs, a guard who at 24 years of age is slightly older than 22-year-old Giddey, sealed a five-year, US$150.5 million (A$229.7m) rookie contract extension with the Magic last October. The US$30 million (A$45.8m) per season price tag has been linked to Giddey for several months, but the salary cap squeeze around league is seemingly playing into the Bulls hands. Rivals simply do not have the funds at present to go shopping for the young Australian, and the lack of other offers is allowing the Bulls to play the waiting game and try to reduce the figure Giddey's management are after. Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls remained locked in contract negotiations. (Photo by) As his camp negotiate with the Bulls, Giddey is back home in Melbourne and was spotted at the Carlton versus Collingwood AFL match on Friday night at the MCG. He recently appeared on the Balls Magnets podcast with Collingwood midfielder Tom Mitchell, and showed his class by revealing he holds no ill feelings towards the Oklahoma City Thunder, who traded Giddey to Chicago last off-season and then went on to win the NBA championship. 'The next team I watched the most (after the Bulls) is OKC. I love them,' Giddey said. 'I'm so close with a lot of the guys there. I genuinely root for those guys and want them to win the championship. I'm just so close with so many people there. 'If the Bulls don't win it, I hope the Thunder win it because I'm close with the guys.' Giddey is not the only Australian making trade and free agency headlines in the NBA with Boomers centre Jock Landale signing with the Memphis Grizzlies, according to ESPN. Landale's move from the Houston Rockets comes via free agency after he waived by the Rockets as part of their efforts to make room for Kevin Durant. It also came after the Grizzlies traded centre Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers, who will fill the role of Myles Turner, who departed Indiana for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Grizzlies will Landale's fourth NBA team after stints with the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns before his time in Houston. The Rockets also traded away Cam Whitmore, to the Washington Wizards. During the week, ESPN reported that the Dallas Mavericks will re-sign Australian Dante Exum on a one-year deal, while The New York Post reported that the Knicks 'expressed interest' in free agent Ben Simmons.

Cameron Munster rocked by dad's death days before Origin series decider
Queensland captain Cameron Munster has been rocked by the death of his dad just days before the State of Origin series decider. The death of Munster's dad Steven was confirmed by Maroons coach Billy Slater on Sunday morning. He said the Melbourne Storm playmaker has indicated he still intends to play in Wednesday night's series decider in Sydney. 'Unfortunately we woke to the sad news of the passing of Cameron Munster's father Steven Munster overnight,' Slater said, as first reported by Code Sports. 'Cam will exit camp to be with his family before rejoining his team for the game on Wednesday. 'On behalf of myself and our footy team and the state of Queensland, we send our thoughts, our love and condolences to Steven Munster's family and friends, in particular his wife Debbie, his daughter Danielle and of course his son Cameron. Thanks.' Munster has previously spoken about his dad's long battle managing his diabetes condition. According to Code, Queensland officials offered Munster an opportunity to stand down from the game, but the Maroons' No. 6 will be there for the series finale. The 30-year-old captained his state for the first time in Origin Game 2 in Perth, where the Maroons pulled off a win for the ages. It had already been an emotionally draining month for Munster, who replaced Daly Cherry-Evans as Queensland captain after the team were blown off the park in the series opener. He returned to Melbourne to be with his family after Origin Game 2 before joining his teammates in Sydney ahead of their Round 16 match against the Rabbitohs. Munster has arguably been Queensland's greatest player over the last 10 years and has earned comparisons with Maroons icon Wally Lewis. His decision to play on Wednesday night would be another inspirational move from the new Queensland skipper. Muster has always worn his heart on his sleeve on the football field and let his emotions pour out in a classy defence of Slater following the Maroons' Game 2 victory. 'With all the pressure and criticism that Billy Slater has been getting, we're just glad we played for him tonight,' Munster said. 'He deserves everything, he loves Queensland and he loves this group. 'There's been a lot of speculation in the media, we needed to turn up for our coach tonight and we f***ing did.' The Queensland Rugby League (QRL) has not announced when Munster will return to camp.
