Express is still the Master

Nice pic of Express Master after a hat trick of Bags Champs wins including yesterdays finals at Nottingham

Two painted ladies

Queen Mary and Queen Teresa

Baz Knight has snapped up a 1/4 share in the two Queens, Queen Mary and Teresa.
There are still three 1/4 shares available in these terrific bitches who should provide great fun for the owners.
Just to reiterate they are out of the great Oaks winners Shaws Dilemma, they both have an improving profile having started off in A4 graded company at Wimbledon they have now progressed to top grade and Opens with greyhound data ratings of 98 and 112.
Still lightly raced there looks more to come for sure and for only £1000 per 1/4 of a share (in both queens too!) its superb value.

No Cigar last night

Larky Ego was the closest we got last night to a victory with a running on second to Mays Alonso but the dogs continue to run well and will hit top form very soon no doubting.

We broke our Duck!

Aero Chick finally got the kennel on the scoresheet at Towcester tonight. She ran a gutsy race to win A4 in 28.66 and there looks plenty to come from her too.
Once again all the dogs ran well, in particular Proud Barney who really took a shine to the track and only just failed to hold the late charge from Downton Flyer...compensation awaits!

Bags Championship

Tuesday at Nottingham sees the final of the BAGS Championship, we are represented by Express Master and Boherna Bridge, best of luck to both.
It will be Boherna Bridge's last race before retiring and after 105 races he's earned it well and truly.
Yan will put some pics and do a piece on BB next week.

Westview new home for RGT

West View Kennels is now the new address of the Coventry and Rugby Retired Greyhound Trust Branch.

We would like to welcome Mary, Julian,the Greys and the team of volunteers to their new surroundings and lets hope many greyhounds are found new homes year on year out in the future.

Wow...Just Wow!Post RaceWow...just Wow!!

Still on a high from last night, I really believe we have found the new home of the greyhound Derby if it becomes available. Towcester have the expertise and track record to cope with big crowds and everything they do is of the highest standard. What a night and what a future for all of us that have invested in this dream.

Thanks to our own Yan Photography for the pics, our owners will not be lacking for quality images and latest info from the best track not only in UK but Europe and even beyond!

Good luck girls

Proud young new owner to the sport
Michelle Lewis and sister Danielle
Come along this morning to walk their first ever greyhound.
Good luck girls!!

What a night!

Greyhound racing fans in the UK have been waiting for this for years, our very own shelbourne park.
Towcester has proved tonight that it is by far the best track in the country.
The facilities are out of this world
And the track ran like a dream,
With no trouble at all, even in the
8 dog races.
We had no winners, but realistically
We didn't expect one, to be honest.
Myself and the staff are just happy to be part of this amazing track and delighted with the feed back from
All the owners.
Towcester is the future of greyhound racing and it proved that tonight.
We are now slowing starting to re build a team of dogs, and we will
Have many new dogs running at Towcester in the new year.

The day has arrived

The  Racing Post is full of Towcester today, all positive and adding to the anticipation of the first new greyhound track to open in 20 years.

It would be great to win the first race tonight with our own  Larky Ego but best of luck to all the runners....see you there

Proud to be at Towcester

The Towcester effect is really taking off now with two more dogs arriving today, namely Proud Charm and Proud Beurney.

Both coming from top breeder Patrick Phelan from Waterford, Ireland.

Paddy has bred some great dogs over the years which we had the privilege to train.

Proud Patsy being a great dog, but how good would have John Nokes' dog Proud Berry have been.

This stunning white/black dog was unbeaten in 4 races and had  already taken the scalp of the great Ballymac Eske.

Sadly in a preparation trial for the Gymcrack at Kinsley he broke his hock and was retired as a pet. 

His owner John Nokes has Berry at home now and he has become a real part of the family.

Steve Morgan, Nigel Loxton, Wayne Pinnell and John Stanaway had already negotiated a deal to bring over Proud Beurney from Ireland, but his 13 month old litter sister Proud Charm will be available on the for sale page shortly, so get ready for another little christmas cracker.

Owner John Nokes

At all times.

New Sheriff in Town

James Edwards and Will Adamson have snapped up one of the best sprinters in Ireland called Lacken Jacksie.
Lets hope he can be another Drumcove Lad and clean up in the sprinting division next year.
James with his family members has also bought a top class puppy called Hillcroft Hero.
This April 13 puppy made a stunning debut at Dundalk in a sensational 21.52, and looks a real contender for the Monmore puppy derby for next year.

Coke..the real thing

Windgap Coke is still advertised on our Blog for sale. This May 2013 bitch pup has recently made a top class final at Clonmel and will make Open class, surely at £1800 she is a bargain.
