Week Ending 18th March

Monday 12th
A very good start to what would end up being a terrific week.
3 winners from our 8 runners at today.
Express Fantasy was the star of the show as she broke much better and paced up well in her A3. She led at the half way point and went on to win in a personal best 29.10. Fantasy has now won 2 of her 6 races but struggles to get regular runs, she'll be a lovely bitch in time.
Blackie Chan made it 2 wins on the spin as he led at the 3rd turn to win his A3 in 29.30.
Fishersmans Leah also made it 2 wins on the spin as she beat kennel mate Noels Touch by 3/4 in a personal best 29.15.
Tuesday 13th
A fairly quiet trial session for the kennel with just 4 dogs going through their paces.
Exciting new stayer Kelseys Prince won his trial by a shade over 5 lengths in a fastest of the day 28.83. Prince cramped off the last bend and is taking a while to properly settle in. He'll trial again next week but won't be rushed into racing.
Kilmalady Biffo returned to the track after a couple of months off and recorded a smart 16.26. He's bouncing after his trial and will have another spin next week.
Nags Head also returned after a lengthy injury lay off and pleased us with his 16.91 effort.
Gemstone Meg posted a very good 16.93 after having a couple of weeks off with a niggle.
Wednesday 14th
2 winners this evening from our 7 runners.
Moody Mare ran a very game race to just hold on in her A3. She won in 29.60.
Baby Bubba made it 3 wins from his last 4 races as he led all the way in his A2 to win in 29.20.
Ding Hero ran a brilliant race to finish 2nd in his heat of the Monkey 509 competition. Ding missed the kick but made up a lot of ground to just be beaten on the line. He's not got the kindest of draws in the final and will need to smash the lids.
Friday 16th
Another good day with 4 winners.
Der Lone Razor made up plenty of ground as he led on the line to win his A3 in 29.70.
Coolykereen Lee ran a very gutsy race as he overcame a fair bit of crowding to win his A2 in 29.34. This big youngster is desperate for some regular runs and will make a lovely dog in time.
Gemstone Annie ran a very clever first bend to avoid a wall of dogs to lead off the 2nd to win her A4 very nicely in a good 29.44. This was only her 3rd ever race and she looks a terrific prospect.
Gemstone Jack also won at the third time of asking as he ran a brilliant race to win in 29.41. He managed to break slightly better and paced up very well to turn closer than he ever has done. The turbo kicked in down the back straight and he led at the last bend to win going away. He's a hugely promising youngster.
Penskey Rain is well worth a mention as he ran a blinder to finish 2nd in his A2. hopefully he won't be long in winning again.
Saturday 17th
A perfect night as we managed to win every race we were involved in.
Kennel legend, Stanton Jerry started the night off well as he led around the first turn to win his D2 contest by 3 1/4 lengths in 16.55.
Ring The Alarm ran her best race so far as she won her A6 by 2 3/4 lengths in a personal best 29.59. Suzie did well to hold her ground on the run to the bend and turned handy off the 2nd to make it a perfect weekend for the Swift Jade pups.
Mercurial Lady pinged the lids to beat kennel mate Tictac Butterfly by 1 1/4 lengths in 29.23. Molly has ran well since returning from injury and is a difficult bitch to pass once in front.
Lady Lomasi completed the night as she led around the 3rd bend to win her A2 in 29.41.
Nags Head and Lady Mission both join the racing strength after trialling well before racing.

In Other News.....
Lots to look forward to next week with the start of the Easter Bunny competition on Monday. We have Boozed Aroma, Riverdale Spiros, Sligo Mick, Noels Touch and Crinkill Jewel all representing us. Fingers crossed we can get a few through to the finals on Friday.
Hiding Escort faces around 5 weeks on the easy list as his blood results returned all wrong. Henry should be a much better dog than his recent form suggests and it's nice to know we've hopefully found the reason why.
Active Lark tore a shoulder on Wednesday evening and will have around a month off.
Kelseys Prince, Gemstone Mag, Kilmalady Biffo, Forest Faye, Gemstone Billy and Galley Crash are all booked for trials on Tuesday.
