Week ending 7th August
Monday 1st
A poor start to the week with very little going our way. Slaneyside Neasa and Stanton Sarah both ran well to finish 2nd but other than those there was very little to write about!
Tuesday 2nd
Stanton Jerry returned none the worse for his fall last time out as he recorded a fastest of the day 28.88. Sunvalley Crash (29.77), Rusty Lisa (30.10), Liscrea Premier (30.06), Active Lark (16.77) and Forest Faye (16.59) all went well enough in their trials and returned safe and sound.
Wednesday 3rd
Again we had no luck on the track as we didn't manage a winner from the evening's meeting.
Master Rock, Galley Crash, Churchfield Mate, Boozed Aroma, Mercurial Star, Tommy The Wheel, Forest Ted and Droopys Edgar were all given a 250 yard gallop.
Friday 5th
A bout of seconditis today as we had 6 hounds occupying the runners up spot!
Forest Crash was beaten just a short head in his A3 as he tried to complete a hat trick of wins.
Kilmalady Biffo returned to a bit of form as he ran a good 2nd in a fast run A2 race.
Springlawn Goofy ran a blinder in his A4 and would have won given a run at the third bend. He'll be one to watch out for next time.
Noels Touch was a tad unlucky as he made his debut over the stayers trip in S2. Noelando Boom as he his known showed nice early to go in to the lead around the 2nd bend. I thought he would win the race as he began to stretch clear down the home straight approaching bends 3 & 4. However he was caught out rounding the 4th bend as began to slow down and check out wide as he expected the hare to stop at the pick up for the 480m races. He soon realised he had another lap to run and set off in pursuit once again. He was only beaten around two lengths at the finish and would surely have won baring him slowing down on the back straight. Hopefully he'll be over 6 bends again next time.
Stanton Subaru returned to a bit of form as she was desperately unlucky in her A3 race. Scooby got a fair whack at the 1st and was crowded around the last but fairly flew home and was only beaten a shd on the line. She would have won easily with a clear run.
Last month's Dog of the Month, Stanton Sarah continued where she left off as she won her A5 today. She has been in sparkling form of late. Forest Ted continued his superb recent form as he flew the lids and led all the way in his A1. Kennel legend Stanton Jerry was the only dog to give Ted a fright as he ran a great race to finish 2nd. Ted won in 28.76 and has now on 7 of his last 13 races including 5 A1's and an open.
Fancy Collar who is one of our most promising prospects for next year had his first gallop back after dislocating a toe some 9 weeks ago. Pingu went very well and the toe held up perfectly. He'll be regularly galloped over the next couple of weeks before being given a sprint at Swindon. Pingu won his last couple of races at Swindon including a trap to line A1 victory in a fast 28.79 beating the subsequent Gymcrack winner Taranis Rex.
Saturday 6th
A dreadful night as kennel favourite Churchfield Mate broke his leg around the second bend and following a check over on Sunday, Enchanted Cashel was found to have a cracked hock. It was certainly a night to forget with seemingly every race containing endless trouble.
