Silent Partner is a 2001 Australian film directed by Alkinos Tsilimidos and starring David Field and Syd Brisbane.[2][3]
Two no-hoper mates, habitual drinkers and gamblers, are lured by an incognito stranger into paying for, looking after, and racing, a Greyhound which they name "Silent Partner". After a series of unsuccessful runs they are duped into injecting the dog with a stimulant before the race; it dies, but not before winning. Despite mutual recriminations, the two remain friends.
Original songs and instrumentals by Paul Kelly and Gerry Hale from the soundtrack of Silent Partner have been released as an LP album and CD on the Gawd Aggie label – 7243 5 35569 2 1
