Vic & Star

Two from the Green today, Ballygibba Star made certain of his second win with a good break resulting in a 5L victory in 28.96!

Earlier on the card, Headiton Vikki rode some trouble to pretty much lead all the way in S2 to win by 1L

Prospect for Sale

We have just been given first refusal on a potential champion young pup who at only 14 months old already looks to have a huge future ahead of him.
He has only ever had one handslip and two runs out of the boxes - He is classically bred as he is by the top class young sire 'Ballymac Vic' - who was an outstanding talent - Reached the final of the 2013 English derby - Has already produced the likes of 'Ballymac Brogan' and 'Ballymac Mossjoe' as well as 'California' top open racer with a 27.23 at Henlow.

This pup's dam ('Pots & Pans) is also proven to produce top open class - She was trained here at Westview Kennels - and was going to be 'OAKS CLASS' until she got injured and was retired for breeding.

She has already produced the likes of 'See No Gamble' - 28.28 at Wimbledon - £25,000 refused 23.85 at Romford he was top derby class until injury.

'Pots and Pans' has also produced the likes of -'Frankies Lad'- 28.30 Monmore - reached the final of the Trafalgar Puppy cup - 'Down the Green' - 28.65 Tralee - (£8,000 refused) 28.88 Limerick - 'Between the lines' - 28.71 Shelbourne - 'Minnies Elana' - 16.26 at Brighton for the 285m (open class)

As the above - shows 'Pots and Pans' in her brief breeding career to date - has bred major open class racers.

This 'Ballymac Vic' pup - is only a Sept 2015 Baby

On only his 2nd time in traps he has recorded 16.81 on a slow running track at Clonmel (due to frosty conditions)
This pup is brindle in colour and has yet to be even named - he has bundles of improvement left in him - he will easily do 16.30 at Clonmel once he gets more schooling and is allowed to develop. - he has clocked the same times as 'See No Gamble' and the likes of 'Frankies Lad' before they both came to the UK..

He has been offered to us direct from the breeder at what we consider a very reasonable low four figure sum.

Interested parties can contact me on - 07885 632329 - to discuss this highly exciting pup further. With he pace he has already shown he looks tailor made for all next years top puppy competitions.
