Mays Leprechaun snapped up by GOA Syndicate

Mays Leprechaun will be racing under the GOA syndicate banner for 2012 after being snapped up within hours of going on the website last night. I'd like to thank the syndicate for their third purchase in 2012. They are building a very strong team for the coming year.


Please remember you need to react quick to get some of these dogs I post on blog and sales page. All our dogs are available to everyone, so he you would like to get involved please keep checking back.

Trainers Championship Trials - Perry Barr

We went to Perry Barr this morning to give a number of the team a work out ahead of the Trainers Championship. It was a great pipe opener for a number of them as it was their first serious work out of 2012. The trial times were Peggys Style 28.61, Maireads Hawk 28.72, Ballymac Ace 16.10, Brittons Empire 16.11, Freds Champ 16.26, Bandicoot Fionn 16.29 and Barntick Cove 16.45.

I'm at an advanced stage of negations to bring in another potential Derby dog. More news to follow.

Scott the true gent to be missed

Paul Scott has decided to give the sport a break for a while after suffering the loss of Pots and Pans and then Rooneys Lad on Saturday. Our great sport can be very cruel at times and I'm personally gutted to lose not just a great owner but also a true gentleman.


Pauls remaining dog with me Daughter of Peg is now for sale. She is a great open race bitch and will make a great brood after racing. Please call me if interested.

Five accepted for Ladbrokes Monmore Puppy Derby

We had five accepted for the £12,500 Category One Ladbrokes Puppy Derby which starts on Thursday. The competition has attracted any the countries leading pups and this year there is an added interest as Owen McKenna will be travelling over from Ireland.


Vedfield Solid will clash with Sharp Bullet in Heat 3, Fifis Legend takes on Sharp Bid in Heat 4 and Sids Champ will take his chance in Heat 6. Good Luck to all connections.


Tonight we are heading Romford and Nottingham hoping to record a couple of winners.

Leprechaun heading to Westview

Highly exciting young puppy Sion Black made a hugely encouraging trial debut for us at Monmore on Friday. Racing over the 480m for the 1st time and having her first look at the track she stopped the clock in a very impressive time of 28.40. We wish her new owner Mick Giles plenty of success.

We think like her sister GOA Girl ex Colmyaro Rebel once Sion Black goes over the 6 bends she is going to develop in to a top notch open race stayer. Both these two young pups were bought by our 'main man' in Ireland. He has just completed the deal on another new young pup for us.

Hot on the heels of our Derby dog being revealed we would like to introduce a fantastic unraced young puppy to Westview Kennels.

Mays Leprechaun is a black bitch, Sept 2010, with a fantastic pedigree (Droopys Vieri x Perrys Lace) who produced such greats as Like a Shot (Irish Derby Winner), Blackstone Gene (sire of Rayvin Giovanni), Sids Dreams dam Dromana Dainty is a 1/2 sister to Perrys Lace.

Mays Leprechaun has only been in the boxes 3 times in her life (due to owners sickness, in hospital for over 6 weeks). Last Tuesday she showed fantastic all round pace for one so young. Having the 1st 525 yards of her life she was racing against a pup called Valentia Tango(Kinloch brae x Magpie Tango). Once the traps opened "Mays" & "Valentia" went neck and neck till the 1/2 way mark, where this young puppy went into overdrive. Flying home she won by 3 lengths in a quite fantastic time of 29.29.

The dog that finished 2nd Valentia Tango money could not buy him at the minute. He is a 1/2 brother to Mays Harvestmoon who was sold for £10,000 after he done 29.10 for the 525 yards at Waterford. He has gone on to win in 29.90 at Nottingham Rated 129 On G.Data. & 27.77 at Yarmouth (Open race)

All Mays Leprechaun can do is improve. She will easily go near breaking the 29.00 in her next trial alone. She is anything but the finished article. Once she gets more trials and is allowed to develop she will go on to win numerous open races for us at Westview Kennels.

Please contact me for more details on this highly exciting puppy, she is very realistically priced for a puppy of her breeding and ability. £3,500

All devastated over the loss of Rooney

It's always difficult any day you lose a dog, but to lose one with sheer potential such as Rooneys Lad is tragic. Every one is truly devastated by the loss and I really do feel for the dogs connections.

It's so typical of our sport to give us a roller coaster week. Question of Sport on Thursday, Sids Dream breaking clock on Friday, Smart Bid getting caught on line in Trafalgar Puppy Final and then Rooneys Lad breaking his leg at Monmore.


In the Puppy Derby Trial Stakes Vedfield Solid made a solid debut when he finished second in 28.72. This run should bring him on plenty. Fifis Legend pushed his case for one of the Puppy Derby favourites as he ran out a 3 1/2 length winner in 28.07. 


Daughter of Peg went toe to toe with Brave Display in the Bitches race. It was a cracking race but unfortunately Peg was caught close home to go down in 28.42. 


Exchange Student was our only graded winner when she took the A2 in 28.65 by an impressive five lengths.

Bid denied in Trafalgar

Smart Bid was denied by the narrowest margin in last night Trafalgar Puppy Cup Final. Bid was smartly away and lead all the way until the shadow of the line when Guinness Dusty got up by a head to take the race in 28.67. This lad is still very much on the upward curve and I'm sure they is plenty of races to win with him.
