Serious Clonmel Puppy prospect to join Westview for sale


The prices we are being quoted for emerging young talent continues to amaze us. Only this week, one of the leading owners in the game today was quoted a quite ridiculous price for a young pup.

A November bitch having her 1st race at Tralee won over the 503m, she recorded a an excellent 29.63. However the price put on this pup was quite simply outrageous.The current owner quoted £55,000 (euros) for her!!  Another bitch Sept 2011 whelp made £25,000 after she won at Limerick over 750 yards (More details available on request)

We are now trying to buy exciting young dogs early doors before they get to dear. We all remember one dog here at Westview Kennels. The Famous 'Express Shuttle in his brilliant but short career with us reached tremendous heights. He was quite simply one of the best dogs to emerge from our kennels in many a year. He reached the final of the 2011 Midland Puppy Derby. He led every where but was caught on the line by 'Droopys Greg' to finish 2nd in the final.  'Shuttle' went on to win the Midland Flat Championship at Hall Green in front of the Sky cameras.

Only at the weekend we completed the deal on 'Shuttles' younger 1/2 brother 'Express Master' who made a sensational racing debut at Clonmel, the same track we bought 'Shuttle' from.

'Master' was competing against some very highly regarded pups in the famous 'Droopys Stud' Puppy Stake with some of the leading trainers in Ireland had dogs running in it.

Missing his break  Master' showed terrific back straight pace and from the 2nd to the 3rd bend . Losing 2-3 lengths in running (due to the break) he simply had just too much class & pace as he powered in to the lead at the last bend to win going away by 5 lengths in a terrific 28.99.

A great time when one considers what he lost in running.

'Express Master' has been recording 28.80 in trials at Clonmel, it was the manner of his victory that excited us as he showed huge pace from the 2nd bend after missing his break.

Please bear in mind 'Clonmel' track was running much faster at the weekend (Sunday night when it was 'done up' for the £25,000 Produce stakes.
acknowledged to be running .20 -.30 spots faster Last sun night)

Express Shuttle recorded 28.78 in his race there - it is our belief 'Express Master' would have recorded this only for missing his break and having to check between the 3rd & 4th bends. His breeders rate 'Express Master' in the same class as 'Express shuttle' - & the likes of 'Express trend'.

Not surprising due to his proven classic class breeding and his winning time a lot of the leading owners & trainers in the UK & Ireland were looking to secure this young puppy . We refused to get in to an auction but because of our previous buying relationship with his breeders and we have been able to secure this pup at what we believe his sensible money compared to what they are looking for other young pups.

'Master' will be aimed at all the major category one events in the NGRC racing calendar.

Please phone me to discuss this tremendous prospect further. This lad will sell quickly quickly, if you are interested please call straight away to avoid disappointment.

  1. Express Shuttle actually won the Blue Riband at Hall Green - not The Midland Flat Championship
