Ladbrokes Festival Review

On very cold afternoon at Monmore the racing certainly warmed up those in attendance and those watching in the betting shops. I'll hopefully be getting a few shots of our dogs in action from our photographers trackside. I'll post them when I can.


Starting off with the Bitches competition in which two of our team qualified for the Final. Daughter of Peg dead heated in first place in Heat 3 in a 28.57. She will be joining in the Final by Pots and Pans whose winning run came to an end as her scalp was taken by the much more experienced Ballymac Eugine. Her second place was a fantastic effort for such a young bitch. 


Maireads Hawk will be our one and only representative the Dogs Final as he finished second in 28.37. Ballymac Ace was surprisingly knocked out alongside Freds Champ and Are We Dancers.


Both Yorkshire Lady and Skyline Amber were both eliminated in the 630 contest.


Brittons Empire continued to show his great form as he took the closing Heat of the 416 competition in a very rapid 24.42 and should go into the Final with a favourites chance.
