Week ending 24th January 2010

Monday 18th
A couple of seconds was the best we could manage from today's runners. Mutter To Razor finished runner up in her A5 posting 29.90. She looks a winner in the making when the ground improves. Danielles Leah was again the bridesmaid in her A2, clocking 29.31.
Tuesday 19th
6 were sent to trials today - all for sprints.
Ballinorig Maeve continues to make good progress in her return to racing, clocking 16.66. Forest Crash (16.72), Twiglish Whitty (17.05), Stanton Torres (16.64), Bers Rose (16.75) and Strictly Baileys (16.82) all went nicely and will be stepped up to 4 bends next Tuesday.
Wednesday 20th
Just the one winner tonight. Stanton Buddy who has quickly hit top form after returning from a rest, blasted the lids and won his A2 in good fashion. He posted a decent 29.06.
Thursday 21st
A busy day with a trip to the vets in the morning and the physio coming to the kennels in afternoon. Around 20 dogs were given the once over. It was mostly good news, with a few dogs given the all clear to return to full training.
Thankfully we were able to use the gallop for the first time in a while and we quickly made good use of it with around 15 dogs going through their paces.
Friday 22nd
A fantastic day for the kennel with 5 winners from our 11 runners.
Queue Pea Are got the day off to a great start with a near 6 length win in his A4. Buzz rode a bump around the first bend before quickly drawing clear to win in a personal best 29.38. He's been in cracking form of late.
Slaneyside Molly quickly hit the front in her A5 and never saw another dog as she went on to win by just over 6 lengths in 29.69.
Clomantagh Blue got a much deserved win over the 685m trip when firing from the boxes to lead all the way in her S3. She won in a personal best 42.91.
Queen Merykara continued her fantastic recent form by making all in the A1 to win by over four lengths in a personal best 28.86. Kara has now won 5 of her last 7 races and has come back better than ever from her severe shoulder injury.
Princess Ziggy rounded the day off with her first ever race win. Ziggy did remarkably well to win from the inside of the track and came from a fair way off the pace to do so. She won in 29.81.
Rackethall Kenny made his debut tonight and ran very well. He was crowded all the way up the run up but showed plenty of pace to get in to contention rounding the third bend. He finished 2nd in the end but looks a likely winner next time.
Saturday 23rd
I Certainly May made it 4 wins from 5 starts when leading all the way in her A4. She recorded a personal best 29.53.
Sullane Donie also recorded a personal best of 28.98 but it was still not good enough to win a decent A2. Donie made a lot of ground up of the second bend to chase the winner down to a length at the line.
