Week Ending 4th December

Monday 28th
A couple of winners to start the week with.
Calling Beauty flew the lids and led all the way in her A3 to win in 29.29.
Baby Bubba continued his good recent form with a winning performance in his A2. Bubba broke well and led off the 2nd bend to win in a personal best 29.17.
Tuesday 29th
A very good trial session for the kennel today.
New arrivals, Portavoe Lass (29.32), Crinkill Jewell (29.35) and Boynepark Joe (29.45) all pleased us in their first 4 bend workouts. Youngster, Glendine Girl rode a first bend bump well to record 30.29 and will have her final qualifying trial next week.
Forest Ted went well enough in his first trial for a while to record 29.25. He'll need a few runs to hit top form as he's not had too much work of late.
Flag Officer again moved nicely in his solo sprint to record 16.42. He'll be stepped up to 4 bends next week.
Wednesday 30th
A bit of a mixed day today as the kennel was very much out of luck at Hall Green in the Intertrack but we managed 3 winners from 5 at Swindon.
Hall Green has never been a happy hunting ground for the kennel and that very much continued today. Active Lark got no end of trouble in her sprint race and didn't run the track particularly well as she finished 4th. Mercurial Lady didn't handle the track at all and was well beaten in last place. She was later found to have pulled a whip muscle and will face a while on the easy list. Butchers Bounty did run a blinder in a very tough heat to finish 3rd and score some much needed points.
Moody Mare got another A3 win under her belt as she led around the first bend to win in 29.53.
Molly The Second ran a cracker to win her A2 in 29.31
Springlawn Goofy led on the run in to complete the night's work as he won his A2 in 29.16
Friday 2nd
4 winners from today's meetings and a few good performances in defeat as well.
Liscrea Premier got the ball rolling as she ran on strongly to win her A2 in 29.18.
Malbay Kesha got her second win on the spin as she led all the way in her A3 to win in 29.66. Kesha eased again on the run in when she saw the stands but is getting better every time she goes to the track and I'm confident she'll make into a nice bitch next year with more experience.
Outoftheblack ran a brilliant first bend as she went from last to first and moved well to win her A4 in 29.51.
Forest Faye bounced back to a bit of form as she won a decent A2 in 29.12. I still think there's more to come from this lady and she may well be given a change of scenery next week.
Saturday 3rd
Boynepark Joe completed his qualifying trials tonight and moved very well to win his trial in 29.09. It was a nice improvement from Tuesday and he stayed every metre at top pace.
Noels Touch ran his best ever 6 bend race as he comfortably won his S2 in a good 42.08. It's by far the best he's stayed the trip and hopefully he'll be able to get a few more runs over the trip.
Lady Jaro flew the lids in a 2.33 sectional and went on to win her top heat easily in 28.84. She's returned brilliantly well from lameness and it would be great to find a veteran open for her to have a crack at.
Effernogue Load ran well to finish 2nd in his A3 and in the process qualified for the next week's Owners Bonus Series final. He's got a bit to find on the clock but you never know.

In Other News...
Ding Hero has had a couple of gallops during the week and will be ready to run in the final leg of the Intertrack competition at Perry Barr on Tuesday morning. It's likely he'll only have a couple of more runs this year before he has a bit of a break over the winter. He's a lovely prospect for next year.
Portavoe Lass, Crinkill Jewell and Penskey Rain head to Hove on Thursday evening for a 515m trial. Penskey has been doing well on the gallop and we are hoping to have him ready for a crack at the Ballyregan Bob Memorial race should we get excepted to run. Portavoe and Crinkill will be heading to Hove at some point in the future for opens so this will be a good experience for them.
It's likely they will be joined by Kilmalady Biffo, Shirty Gerty, Boynepark Joe and Forest Faye for races on the night.
Tommy The Wheel who's been running a little below par recently will be given a nice break to freshen up. He's been on the go all year which is a big ask for a dog so he'll have good break during the winter before starting again next year.
Swift Jade's pups continue to impress on the schooling track and are doing everything we've asked of them so far.
