Week Ending 5th January 2014

Monday 3rd
Alarming Arti gave the kennel our first winner of 2014 with just our 2nd runner.
He led at halfway to win going away in 29.37.
Puppy, Mercurial Jet, surprised us a little with his win today in a good A2. He'd been left without a run for 3 weeks again so certainly needed this race. He ran a brave 1st bend and led at the halfway point to beat kennel mate, Gemstone Annie by 2 lengths in a good 29.05. It's more than likely he'll head somewhere else for a trial now as he's not getting enough experience at Swindon.
Swansalona Bolt got his first career victory in the A6 tonight. He led at the 2nd bend to hang on gamely by 3/4 of a length in 29.64.
Sunday 5th
A trip to Sittingbourne tonight for the heats of the 480m standard comp.
Jet Stream Odds got our first open race winner of the year as he just got up on the line to beat kennel mate Jolly Bullseye by a head. Bullseye flew the lids and led a long way but Odds kept to his task well and continued his excellent record of winning first time up at tracks.
Both of these will be joined in the final by Swords Brett after he finished 2nd in his heat. He broke well but ran straight off at the bend but ran well after that. He'll improve for the look round and it's great to have half of the field in next weeks final.
