Week ending 12th April 2009

Monday 6th
Today's BAGS meeting proved to be very successful. From just 5 runners we produced 3 winners.
Class Eagle continued her excellent recent form by scoring in A4. She quickly hit the front and won in 29.64.
Stanton Torres also continued his good form by leading all the way in A4 to record 29.50. As mentioned in an earlier post, this dog suffered a loss of confidence after being badly crowded in his early races. However, after a few clear runs and the chance to get his head in front, he is now progressing up the grades nicely and there should be more to come from this lad.
Stanton Ellie completed a hat trick of wins when comfortably winning A3 in 29.58.
Tuesday 7th
A busy trial session with 10 of our dogs going through their paces. A few of the new dogs went nicely and it will be interesting to see how they progress in the coming weeks.
Today saw the return from injury of July 07 pup Strictly Baileys. This novice won 2 of his first 4 races before going lame last time out. Thankfully it was nothing serious and after 6 weeks of treatment he was given the all clear. He won his trial today in 29.77 and it wont be long before Simba is back to winning ways.
Wednesday 8th
This evenings 5 runners produced 1 winner and a couple of 2nd's.
Stanton Bluebell, who was mentioned last week as a promising pup, won her first race back after seasonal break in very good style. She quickly hit the front and won her A3 in 29.25. There is plenty more to come from this young lady and it will pay to follow her in the coming weeks. Also in this race saw the return of Shelbourne Swift. After a near 4 month lay off due to season she was a very good 2nd to Bluebell. Although a veteran now, she still has plenty left to give and will be winning races before long.
Friday 10th
Yet another very good day at the office with every dog running with real credit. Today's 5 runners produced 2 winners, 2 seconds and a third.
Field Son quickly asserted in his A2 contest and was never in danger of being beaten. This lad is hard to beat when getting things right at the boxes and hopefully with experience he will become more consistent. He recorded 29.40.
Bers Rose never runs a bad race and won her A2 well in 29.42. She has a lovely turn of early pace and rails the bends beautifully which always gives her a chance.
Saturday 11th
Although our 6 runners this evening did not produce any winners, there were a couple of very good performances.
Forest Best led all the way, only to be caught on the line and beaten a head in the A1. Since returning from injury early this year he has not been out of the first 2 in any of his 7 runs.
Not Yet returned from seasonal break with a very encouraging run in the A3. This girl has had all sorts of problems in her short racing career but hopefully it's all behind her now and she can begin to fulfill her potential.
