Aston Current is not the best greyhound Canowindra trainer Paul Britt has ever put a muzzle on, he's not even the best in his kennel at present but he's certainly one of the most consistent.

The well bred son of Barcia Bale out of an Aston Tara litter added to his winning record since joining the Britt kennel with a scintillating victory over the 318 sprint course at Dubbo's Dawson Park on Saturday.
"He ran very quick time," Britt said of Aston Current's latest Dubbo win, his fourth since joining his Canowindra based kennels.
Owned by one of Australia's biggest breeders Ray Borda, Aston Current came to Britt via Victorian trainer Rod Clark.
"He won four races in Victoria before I got him," Britt said.
Those wins came at Horsham, twice over 410 metres, and Shepperton, twice, over 380 metres.
Sent to the boxes a $1.70 favourite with the coveted one box on Saturday, Aston Current was only fairly away but was able to hold the rails and worked his way to the lead over Bogan Panther ($30.40) with Morales Casey ($9.70) railing under Benny Bow ($5.60) into third as the field settled.
On straightening Aston Current extended his lead, racing away to a four length win in a slick 18.07, the first section in 4.70, over Bogan Panther with Morales Casey four and three quarter lengths away in third place.
In 16 starts since joining the Britt kennel, Aston Current has also recorded nine minor placings.
With six dogs currently in work Britt considers Aston Current as the second fastest dog.
The accolade as the fastest charge currently under his tutelage rests with recent two time winner Sonny Daze, owned by Bonnie Webb.
Sonny Daze also came to the Britt kennels via Rod Clark, since winning two of three starts for the Canowindra trainer.
Another well bred dog, Sonny Daze's only defeat for Britt was a second placing at Richmond.
A son of Don't Knocka Him out of a Big Bang Marjen litter, Sonny Daze has recorded 14 career wins and 24 placings from 65 starts.
Current plans are for Aston Current to step out again this Saturday over the 318 metre sprint circuit at Dubbo.
