Moonee Valley's gone to the dogs

A group of Moonee Valley players and supporters descended on The Meadows as part of Greyhound Racing Victoria's Dream Chasers Festival.
The weather for the November 8 event was equivalent to cricket washout territory, but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm for our group, camped under marquees and with gas heaters nearby.
We were at the Campbellfield facility through the Cheer a Chaser fundraiser, part of GRV's Dream Chasers Festival.
Our thanks to Greyhound Racing Victoria and to Sportsbet for their hospitality on the night, which provided free admission, the first drink and finger food all night.
Thanks also to their sponsorship which put $1000 in the Moonee Valley budget, and the opportunity to also win thousands more if our designated greyhounds won in the eight selected races - a string of seconds and thirds saw us come oh-so-close.
Our Jason Ripa participated in a series of cricket-related challenges run by former Australian One-Day and Twenty20 captain Aaron Finch, and won the first heat.
Jason was in line for the $5000 first prize, but a dodgy ball in the catching segment led to him being eliminated.
Moonee Valley thanks GRV and Sportsbet for putting on The Club Shout, and we're keen to participate again when next it rolls around.
