Hey Mickey to join Westview

We are constantly looking for emerging young talent on the Irish racing scene. Down through the years we have purchased some top class open racers from Galway including the likes of Burnpark Champ (Fastest dog ever at Westview), the top class Brittons Empire (Pall Mall winner) and Rosshill View one of the best marathon open runners in her day.

Over the last few weeks we have been watching with interest the progress of a young pup called 'Clydagh Mickey'. He is only and April 2011 pup. He has the exact same sire as 'Brittons Empire' (Hades Rocket) which has made us attracted to him. This pup has been competing in a £1,000 competition.

In the heats he was racing against some highly regarded opponents including dogs who are advertised on greyhound data for £8,000. This pup in his Semi Final showed excellent early and left his field chasing shadows as he cruisied home to win in a fast 29.24, which was the fastest time of the night.

In the Final held last Friday 'Mickey' rocketed from traps to record a flying 3.23 sectional. Down the back stretch he quickly had his rivals triailing in his slip tream with his powerful all round pace. (Watch igb video) Up the long run in this pups stride shortened and he was caught on the line to be beaten a short head in a brilliant time of 29.00, which was easily the fastest time of the night.

           ***2nd in 29.00 525 yards race Galway****

                  (Fastest time of the night)£1,000 Final. (btn a shd)

 This pups estimated time in the final was 29.01 which is simply flying - (The dog that caught him on the line is a staying puppy (they want 8k for him)  please note that Galway track would be rated one of the slower running tracks in Ireland.

It would be rated .30 -.40 spots slower than the likes of Limerick or Shelbourne Park (Please check) only last week, we were asked £20,000 for an April pup from one of these tracks! (Ballymac Maeve pup 28.74 - 28.68 Shelbourne)

This pup will not cost anything near that , we have secured him for what we believe to be a very reasonable price and are glad he will be joining us here. With his all round pace combined with his ability to stay 480 metres he will win numerous top open class races. His 1st major big competition will be the upcoming £12,500 Midland Puppy derby at our home track Monmore.

Please phone me direct to discuss this pup further. As always it will be a case of first come first served.
