Week Ending 26th May

Monday 20th
Just the one winner to begin the week with.
Bookies Girls beat kennel mate Winetavern Tadgh by 2 1/2 lengths in 29.10.
We had our first trial session at Coventry today with 7 dogs going through their paces.
Chilli Hot Sauce posted 16.10 in her first look at the track. Stanton Apollo just held on from Swords Brett to win his 485m trial in 29.82 with Southern Angel only just behind them.
Barnish Booth beat Mullingar Mer and Southern Belle in their 450m trial in 27.62.
Tuesday 21st
8 dogs were sent to Swindon for trials today and it was a fairly good session.
Burgess Ali (29.69), Kingsmill Anois (28.86) and Allen Buttercup (29.25) all completed their qualifying trials while Zamboni Zazzle rejoined the graded strength with a 30.18 effort.
Recent arrivals, Finalee (16.67) and Chow For Now (16.58) both impresses in their first sprint trials.
Wednesday 22nd
We'll begin at Wimbledon where our 3 Derby entries were given their last workouts before the competition starts and went well enough.
Screen Critic beat Taranis Rex by just over 6 lengths in 28.73. The time was a bit puzzling as both dogs lost 40 spots on their trials from last week but apparently they had added some new sand to the track which slowed the times up a bit.
Jolly Bullseye had his first trial since the Arc final and went OK. He stumbled out the boxes but showed his early pace and flew down the back before really tiring coming home but he desperately needed this run and will come forward for the blowout.
Onto Swindon where we had a record night for the kennel as we sent out 5 open race winners.
Airport Captain got the night off to a great start as he won on debut for the kennel in his 509m maiden. Captain broke well and led all the way to win in a good 30.06 and looks a lovely prospect.
Gemstone Billy got his first open win as he ran a brilliant race to come from a long way off the pace to lead near the line in his 685m maiden.
Slippery Patch continued his excellent form as he pinged the lids and led all the way in his 509m open to win in 30.06. Hiding Escort ran well to finish second to Patch and won't be long in winning.
Portavoe Lass won her first race since returning from injury as she ran on strongly to nab kennel mate Droopys Harper on the run in in their 685m contest.
Newinn Daddy completed a great night for the kennel as he pinged the lids and led all the way to win the standard open by over 3 lengths in a good 28.74.
Thursday 23rd
Another good night as we managed 2 winners from our 4 runners at Hove this evening.
Tibetan Skies continued his good form as he ran probably his best for us as he won the standard 515m open in great style. Skies fell out the boxes but managed to get round the first bend with a clear run and he took off down the back straight to take the lead at the 3rd bend before going on to win well in 29.67.
Taranis Diva got her first open win as she battled hard to win her 515 maiden. Diva pinged the lids to record a good 4.09 sectional but got tapped for a little bit of middle pace before staying on strongly to beat kennel mate, Ring The Alarm, by 1 1/4 lengths in a good 30.08. Considering this was only Diva's 4th race of her life it was a great effort and she's another lovely prospect for the kennel. Ring The Alarm is well worthy of a mention as she ran a blinder behind Diva and will surely pick a maiden race up sooner rather than later.
Portavoe Girl got a little lost on her first visit here but will find plenty for that run and will head back to Hove next week.
Friday 24th
Just the one winner today but we had a couple of promising performances as well.
Sligo Mick just got the better of kennel mate Razor Titantic to win the A2 by a head in 29.34.
Kingsmill Anois ran with real promise to finish 3rd in the A1 on his debut and will surely be better for that experience.
Saturday 25th
Chow For Now went well in his first four bend trial as he led to near the line to record 29.27.
No winners from this evening's meeting but Gemstone Annie, Inishmore Impact and Allen Buttercup all ran well in defeat.
