And thrice more

Friday and Saturday's cards threw up another three winners to add to a sensational end to our year.
Delightful Song is tearing through the grades winning A8 by over 12L and on Friday it was A6 by 5 3/4L in 29.09...on you go son!
On Saturday, Pointless Paloma made it Monmore win No4 when skipping away by 2 1/2L in S2 grade to stop the clock in 38.84.
Most impressive debut of recent times has to go to Hidden Laura, debuting in a tough A2 the May 16' daughter of Confident Rankin gave them a running lesson eventually crossing the line 3 1/2L to the good in a speedy 28.51....put her in your notebooks people!!

An extension to 2017?

We almost don't want 2017 to end!
Three winners to celebrate on Thursday. Amazingly Crocketts Moment hasn't won since his debut 14 races ago back in July but the son of Sparta Maestro doubled his tally with a 28.66 win in A3.
Standbye Athena is enjoying an Indian Summer to her career and made it three wins from her last five starts (all at married man prices too!) when proving too strong for her rivals again in A5 clocking 29.15.
The treble was brought up by debutante Proud Tyrur, the son of Tyrur Big Mike was too strong in the finish and won by 1/4L in 29.05...a very decent effort by the Feb pup and it augurs well for his future at the Green for sure.

Festive Round Up

I hope everyone had a great Xmas.
Just a few winners to get the house in order as we approach the new year.
On Thursday Standbye Athena rewarded her faithful followers with a 6/1 victory in A5, she won by 3/4L in 29.24.
Friday saw Ferneys Signora lead all the way in A5 to win by 2 1/2L in 29.20. Also on the same card, Whiskey Jaydee beat our own Ballycahane Girl by a neck in S3 grade to record 38.88.

On Saturday the kennel notched a double by the way of Cuckoo Martina and Shovel It On. Martina won the A7 in 29.36, she hit the rail on debut but the ease in class bought about an improved second effort. Shovel it On also was having her second ever race, the daughter of Pots and Pans scored by 3/4L in A10 despite early crowding.

Today's Boxing Day meeting again threw up two winners. Dance Leyla has gone from A7 to now A4 winner in a short space of time, 28.95 was her time for an easy 2 1/2L win.
Finally it was good ol' Head Iton Murph who raised a cheer, the classy sort led at the second and put the rest to the sword, eventually crossing the line fully 7L to the good in S1, 37.93 was his time.

Wednesday 20 December 2017

Lets get to it......

Just the one winner to celebrate today, Dance Vogue made it three wins from her first six races at Monmore. The daughter of Ballymac Vic has won A7, A5 and now A4, early zip is her forte for sure.

Merry Christmas

It was a shocking day weather wise today but fair play to the owners who managed to brave the weather regardless. Hope everyone enjoyed the bacon rolls and tipples, a Merry Christmas to everyone and thanks you all for your continued fantastic support.





Treble!

On Saturday it was a win treble for the kennel courtesy of Faletau, Ballycahane Girl and Slaneyside Angel (pictured)
Faletau who was named after the Wales and Bath Rugby star Toby Faletau blitzed the opposition in A9 class, the August 2016 son of good old Pots and Pans careered away to win by 6L 29.25.
Toby Faletau


















Ballycahane Girl debuted in A3 and after eleven fruitless attempts and remaining in the grade, finally got the big win she deserved, a 1 3/4L victory in 29.07.
Slaneyside Angel continues her slow but steady progress up the Monmore Grades, starting in A10 she has now progressed to winning A6 last night and recorded a P.B of 29.34 in the process.

Faletau, Ballycahane Girl and Slaneyside Angel

Double!

The winners keep flowing and long may it continue. On Friday Gavins Jet finally got his head in front after nine races since arriving from Central Park, he won S2 by 1L in 39.19.
In the very next race Santas Ace, pretty much a standing dish in A3 did the business once more when leading at the 4th bend to win by 1/2L in 28.55.

Friday 15 December 2017

Owners Xmas Party

A quick reminder that its Owners Day Christmas Party this Sunday at 9.30am at kennels

What an end to the year!

We notched a terrific four timer last night at the Green. Coolbegan Taffy got the ball rolling in the first race, after a highly promising debut, the black son of Monmore 480m track record breaker Ballymac Eske made no mistake at the second time of asking winning by 2L in 29.52.
Fernisky Dusky completed a magnificent treble winning A5, A3 and now A2, taking it all in his stride to win each race with the minimum of fuss too...Dusky is going places for sure.
Dance Layla continues her improvement, after adjusting to A5 she too found her feet last night and won well in 29.08.
It was not hard to fancy La Hacha in the Owners Bonus Series Final (pictured) and once he got his head in front he fairly ran away with the event, eventually winning by 6 1/4L in 29.11.

La Hacha



















I would just like to thank all the staff for their hard work which they put into all the dogs. The kennel had a staggering 44 winners in November and we are ending the year in some style!!

Saturday 9 December 2017

Chicken Dinners all round

We have a few winners to catch up on.
On Wednesday we saw Dance Vogue show great determination to defy the double upgrade and get back up on the line to win A5 class in 29.17. On the same card Manilla Slippy easily recorded a double (like Dance Vogue) in the 4 dog A6 by 4L in 29.06.
We bagged another double on Thursday courtesy of La Estrella and La Hacha.
Estrella was too good for A8 when keeping a wide path and taking it up off the third to run out a cos 29.40 winner.
La Hacha made it 2 from 2 when winning by the minimum margin in his heat of the A7 Owners Bonus Series and has every chance of making it 3 from 3 next time out in the final.

It was a treble winner day on Fridays afternoon BAGS card mostly in driving snow!
First up was Fernisky Dusky, the son of Zero Ten is rapidly improving, impressive  last week in A5 he was even more so here in A3, eventually winning by 4 3/4L in 28.64...loads more to come.
Cee Jay Kickham, an 8/1 winner on debut in A6 back in October, took the A3 in good style despite early crowding, clocking 28.98.
Our third winner on the card came in the shape of Head Iton Vikki, stepping back up to six bends the daughter of Droopys Jet fairly routed the opposition when winning by 5 1/4L, this despite not leading until bend 6!.

Monday 4 December 2017

Five Alive

A fantastic five winners at Monmore this afternoon.
In order of appearance, La Rosa made it career win number three from just twelve starts when powering through to win A8 as she liked in 29.64.
Smokestack Levi was next up to the plate, the black son of Vans Escalade led all the way in S2 class for a 5 1/4L romp in 38.76.
Slaneyside Goldi pretty much did everything wrong on her debut but she is clearly a quick learner as despite upped in grade to A6, she was foot perfect in despatching the opposition with the minimum of fuss in 29.31.
Delightful Song has had a couple of sighters at Monmore in A7 after arriving from Peterborough. The drop to A8 was greatfully taken as he avoided carnage at the first corner to win as he liked by over 12L in 29.52
Last but not least we had Chamberlain Zara victorious in S1, the super consistent bitch won by nearly 2L in 38.64

Friday 1 December 2017

That Friday feeling

It's F..F..F.. Friday and round out time as we start the weekend off.
Wednesday we saw a tasty double courtesy of good old Jaffer, he kept a wide course as usual and ran out a comfortable 1L winner in 28.66 A2.
Slaneyside Angel made it three wins from only nine races when routing them by 3L in 29.30. The daughter of Razldazl George is progressing nicely from A10 to now A6.
Today the kennel recorded a treble on this afternoons BAGS card.
First up was Dance Vogue, after an inauspicious debut where she was KO'd, the daughter of Ballymac Vic made amends at the third time of asking when winning A7 by 1 3/4L in 29.20
Coolagown Blush is becoming a force to be reckoned with now over the 630m as she has now won three out of her last four races, two weeks ago an Open and today the S1 in 38.78.
Last but not least was debutante La Hacha. He kicked off his career in A8 and it proved no problem as he soon led to win easily by 4 1/4L in 29.34, plenty more to come from the son of Farloe Blitz i'm sure.

Monday 27 November 2017

Double Double

A nice double today from two greyhounds who were both notching a double also.
Copper Maverick won last week in A5 and did the business in A4 this time, the winning distance of 3 1/2L was no fluke as the son of Paradise Madison had to shrug off early crowding before stretching away in 28.82.
Gunga Din got in even more trouble when missing the kick and being crowded but it shows that he too is improving quickly with a 3L success in A7 in 28.20.

Thursday 23 November 2017

Flying without wings!

Ok people its round up time. We kicked off the week in fantastic style on Monday with an incredible 5-timer!
After getting injured back in June, the super classy Roys Boy was on the comeback trail and it was only a matter of time in A4 as he was A1. 6/4 said today was the day and so it proved as the son of Droopys Scolari made no mistake by winning in 28.96.
Next on the rostrum was the Belle Vue recruit Copper Maverick, one troubled sighter in A5 was all the nippy Paradise Madison fella needed to find his feet..and how..28.88, Bosh!

Next up was Lahana Ace, only out of the first three once in nine races to date, upped to A5 without winning then upped to A4 without winning too, some say that is harsh but it didn't stop the son of Ace Hi Rumble scoring by 3 3/4L in 29.05!
The kennel reeled off the next two races on the card courtesy of Cee Jay Kickham and Gunga Din.
CJ appreciated the drop to A5 when staying out wide to win by a head in 28.96. Gunga Din recorded her first Monmore win since arriving from Peterborough when proving too strong for A8 class for a 29.44 gold.

Two more winners followed on Wednesday's BAGS card in the shape of Manilla Slippy and the evergreen Standbye Athena.
After losing his way from a debut A4, Manilla Slippy had 'slipped' to A8 and came second, clearly the grader has mystical powers as he was put up a grade for his troubles but duly obliged in A7 to record a P.B of 29.43.
Athena, a recent edition to the '100 club' showed she is no back number when ripping up an A7 in a new recent P.B of 29.07!


To say the squad is flying is an understatement....go team West View!

We're flying without wings!

No less than four winners on Thursday at tut' Green.
First up was Santas Ace in A3, the black son of Ace Hi Rumble led at the first to win well in 28.69.
Coolagown Blush took the step up into Open class in her stride when proving too classy for her rivals over 630m, winning easily in 38.56.
We also won the 480m Open with Moanteen Archie, he looked to be going places after that A2 romp and so it proved here.An early paced demolition to win in 28.51.
Finally on the card, classy new recruit Dainty Hunter quickly put the A5 to bed with 29.18 despite crowding and can climb higher for sure.

Three more

Following on from wicked Wednesday, the kennel had another three winners on Thursday night.
Rich Spirit is quickly ascending the graded tree with wins at A4, A3 and now A2.
Proud Mel made us feel just that when winning the 480m Maiden Open at 8/1 in 28.69.
Pennys Gatsby has an enviable 50% strike rate at Monmore and finished no less than 4th in all eight of his races to date. Like Rich Spirit he had to share the spoils as the judge couldnt split it but a winner is a winner.

SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not very often any trainer gets six winners on a card but today was certainly our day.
First up was Pegs Berry who doubled her win tally to 2 when taking the A8 by 5L in 29.64.
Next in line was Funny Eyes, a recent winner in A7 company she was straight back down after one unsuccessful outing in A6, the result was the same, a 29.63 win by 2 1/4L.
Smokestack Vikki proved that her last win was no fluke when defying a double upgrade to land the A6 by 1/4L in 29.40 and make it two wins from her first three races.
Slaneyside Angel emulated Vikki in the very next race when recorded a double in A8 this time, 29.71 by 1 1/2L.
Blue Velvet, without a win since way back in March exploded to life when running right away from her A9 rivals to record a 9 1/2L victory in 29.39.
Finally Romeo Interstate put the icing on the cake with another incredibly impressive performance in A6. This handsome son of Superior Product blasted out to lead all the way by 7 3/4L in 29.00......what a performance from the kennels and a massive pat on the back to all the staff at West View, great team!!


Friday 3 November 2017

Chicken Dinners!

Santas Ace, without a win since June was grateful for the graders mercy on Wednesday. Dropped for the first time into A4 since that rapid A6 win back in early Summer, the son of Ace Hi Rumble made no mistake when winning by 4 1/2L in 28.86.
On Thursday, Slaneyside Angel, a baby April 16' puppy, put it all together on her fifth start when successful in A9 class in 29.86.
Today we scored a treble at the Green kicking off with Coolagown Blush. She had been upgraded to A3 despite not winning any of her three A4 races. She gradually improved after six attempts however and led all the way to record 29.02.
Forest Bressie was the middle leg of the treble when scoring by 2L in S4 in 39.30.
Finally Pointless Paloma confirmed she was well treated by the grader when winning as she liked in A5 in 28.93, having previously mixed it in A2 class at Central Park.

Monday 30 October 2017

Slipped the Net

Recent Peterborough recruit Lovely Brandy gained her first success at the Green today on only her second start. Always in the van she kept on gamely for a 1/4L win in 29.80.
Our eagle eyed owner Richard Taylor kindly pointed out we missed a winner on Thursday, the classy Pascals Law won the A1 on the card, prevailing by the minimum margin to clock 28.65 and for once getting a clear run!

Ja Mel!

Just the one winner on Saturday to report, Proud Mel got her first Gold since August. The daughter of Ja Mann stuck at it for a deserved A3 win in 28.97

Thursday 26 October 2017

Staying is the game

It was always her destiny to step up in trip and become a stayer, Monday was the day Coolagown Pretty started her six bend career and it was with a bang when winning the S3 in 38.69. Plenty more to come from her especially when she learns to break on terms too!
Murlens Redhot repeated the feat on Wednesday by taking her first graded 6 bender, an S2 in 39.03. On the same card the puppy Smokestack Vicki showed what benefit she had gained from her debut nine days earlier when routing the A8 by 5 1/4L in 29.28, this March '16 daughter of Ballymac Eske has got skills!

Sunday 22 October 2017

The eyes have it

Saturday 14 October 2017

Flandy Megry Retires

Flandy Megry has sadly torn a shoulder muscle yesterday in her 179th race.
Flandy has been a stalwart of the kennel for many years, winning 27 races at Monmore and Towcester.
She was Richard Taylor's first ever greyhound and she gave him that much enjoyment, Richard fell in the love with the sport and has gone on buying many more dogs and now owns over 25.
Flandy will now be retired and found a loving home, which she deserves.

CJ for DS

A warm welcome to the Kennel for Dave Stidworthy who has just become a new owner.
Dave has bought Cee Jay Kickham who was a mighty impressive winner for us on his debut.
Lets hope CJ can give Dave many more

Wednesday 11 October 2017

Lolly licks 'em

Coolagown Lolly notched career win number two today with a gutsy performance in A7, despite a troubled passage, the daughter of My Girl Lollypop prevailed by a HD in 29.36.

CJ can kick it!

Yet another one of our Peterborough recruits won on Monday. Cee Jay Kickham, having his first competitive start for us, Led all the way to win the A6 in 28.96 and at the rewarding odds of 8/1...it must be the black country air!

Sunday 8 October 2017

Gatsby is Great

A6, A5 and now A4, Pennys Gatsby as we said last week is thriving at Monmore, he was beaten a SHD in his other race too! Each win has been faster than the previous and there is still more to come from this black son of Godsend.

Friday 6 October 2017

Un, deux, trois

A trio of winners as we go into the weekend people.
Large Shilling was first up with a gutsy SHD win despite missing the break, he recorded 28.86 for his A2 gold.
Lavan Lyrics debuted in A5 and she showed she will be a force at Monmore when leading all the way to win in 29.06, more to come from this girl for sure.
Holy Wayne really has the bit between his teeth after that nice first win last week. He doubled up in A5 with a typically strong finishing effort to win A5 by 3L in 28.89.

Monday 2 October 2017

Afternoon duo

Pennys Gatsby seems to thriving at her new home. She recorded her second win in only three starts at the Green today showing good early pace to win as she liked in 29.06 A5...plenty more to come.
On the same card this afternoon Murlens Redhot, who gave a strong pointer to her well being last week, really put them to the sword today when winning her A4 by 4 1/2L in a rapid 28.72.

Wednesday 27 September 2017

Sunday 24 September 2017

Quad!

We scored a superb 4-timer on Saturday night at the Green.
Smokestack Levi, so unlucky not to win the 630m Open last week made amends in A3 winning easily by 3L in A3 class.
Rich Spirit ran a debut race full of promise and built on that in his very next race when bolting up by 4 1/2L in A4 in 28.87...loads to come from the son of Pleasant Moments.
The other A4 on the card was won by our own Headiton Sharpy in 29.26, Sharpy is steadily coming back to his very best form now.
The final leg of our quadruple was bought up by Ryders Ellie when she pretty much led all the way in S4 to win in 39.09.

Friday 22 September 2017

On you go Dot!

Right now I think i could beat anyone in a flip of the coin challenge. We have come out on top of so many short head victories in the past few weeks. Today it was the turn of Swift Dorothy, a Monmore maiden after seven races...no more!
She was given an excellent chance by the grader and thankfully did the business when winning A7 in 29.27 today.

Clyde...you're alright son!

Westmead Clyde did the business on Friday, from humble beginnings in A10 at Henlow he has now won A3 at Monmore Green. Sure he has his own way of getting the job done but you can't fault his record now...way to go Clyde!

Two Wednesday warriors

The weekend is almost here!
Wednesday we had a double with Coolagown Lolly and Pennys Gatsby.
Lolly got off the mark at her 5th attempt when taking A8 by 2 1/2L in 29.55.
Pennys Gatsby won by the A6 in 29.24 with the first four dogs being split by Sh, Sh and a Hd.

Monday 18 September 2017

Flying!

No less than 7 winners to catch up on over the last few days.
On Friday Geneva Ger won heat 1 of the Owners Bonus Series S2 when prevailing by 3/4L in 38.78. Fingers crossed for the final. On the same card, Headiton Teeny won in A7 again after dodging an upgrade despite a recent win in the same grade.

Saturday was fill yer boots day with no less than 4 winners for the camp.
Seoul Aurora was first up, she had been struggling to adjust to A4 class after that good win in A6 but made no mistake on her fifth attempt with a comfortable 3 1/2L win in 29.11. When she shows that early she's hard to beat.

Express Bressie was dropped to A10 and the result was instant when winning by 3 3/4L in 29.52.
Afan Thor, previously as high as A3 class got back in the winners circle with a 2L A7 win in 29.40.

The four timer was bought up by Droopys Fafe, this girl is really flying again and showing great EP to take the A1 by 2 1/2L.

This afternoon Miss Jodee flew the Westview Flag when prevailing by a short head in 28.86 A4 class.

Wednesday 13 September 2017

Shilling coining it in!

Talk about striking whilst the iron's hot!
Large Shilling makes it 3 wins from his last 4 races today.
The A3 win on Saturday was followed up with an A2 win today. Onwards and upwards for the Shilling!

Tuesday 12 September 2017

Headiton too Sharp

Great to see Headiton Sharpy get back on the podium yesterday afternoon. Without a win since June, the blue son of Droopys Jet ground it out for a 29.26 victory in A5

Sunday 10 September 2017

Reposted!

Looks like my Thursday post did not publish.
We had two winners on the night.
Pascals Law, who despite running with great credit had not won since that 28.20 A2 demolition job back in April, got back on his pedestal when winning the maiden 480m Open at the Green at Evs!
Soon after our own Blue Majestic upset favourite backers when holding them all the way to win the 630m Open in 38.44, this fella is a win machine!

Luck?

Two winners on Friday followed by a great four timer on Saturday has brought the kennel to top form once again.
First up was Geneva Ger, who led at the 6th bend to win S2 in 38.74.
Next up was good ol' Flandy Megry, the May 2012 daughter of Cashen Legend added yet another win to her CV when getting up near the line to win S3 in 39.01.

We caught fire on Saturday evening when Afan Jack set the tone when maintaining that 1-4-1-4-1-1-4-4-1 sequence with a hard fought A4 win in 29.04.
Recent bargain buy Coolagown Blush did not have to wait long for her first win, she hit the crossbar last week but made no mistake when winning the A5 in 29.18...loads more to come from this daughter of David Bale.

La Viento has had some issues her fledgling career but fair play to Monmore, they gave her a chance to atone in A10 and she did not put a paw wrong by winning 1L in 29.77.
Finally Large Shilling continued his run of top form when making it 2 from his last 3 in A3 company in 28.82.

We seem to be at the right end of some very close finishes for a change which reminds me of the old maxim....there is only one sure thing about luck, and it's that it WILL change.

Thursday 7 September 2017

A Brace

A couple of winners to acknowledge as we move toward the weekend. Last night Student Princess recaptured a little of her May form despite a troubled passage when winning A4 last night in 29.09.
In the next race Droopys Fafe who had previously only mixed it in OR/A1 class in 2017, appreciated the ease to A2 company when proving too good for the opposition clocking 28.86

Monday 4 September 2017

A brace

A nice double on Saturday at the Green. Headiton Teeny was first up, without a win since late June she took her chance well in A7, steering a wide course throughout to clock 29.41.
Barnagrane Glen showed she is still a force to be reckoned with in A1 company when leading all the way to score in 28.54

Thursday 31 August 2017

Double Up

Two winners on yesterdays BAGS card, Large Shilling won another A3, the son of Boherna House rode some early trouble to win cosily in 29.01.
In the very next race, funny eyes, having her seventh career start and debuting at Monmore got off the mark with a nice win in A6 and can do better still.

Monday 28 August 2017

Go Clyde

Just the one winner to report from the weekend. Westmead Clyde kept the flag flying with an early paced display in A4 class. Reckon it's safe to see we have improved him at West View Kennels. The son of Westmead Logan started his career at Henlow where he won A8, he then went to Perry Barr and won in A5 company, after only three starts at Monmore he has taken an A4 and it won't be long until he wins A3.

Thursday 24 August 2017

Maxed it out!

Maxitout is at it again. He wins the A1 tonight at Monmore to notch career win number 14 from 49 starts and being placed no less than 36 times from them 49 races...what a dog, what a star!

Back on track

After a pretty quiet week we got back on track with a couple of winners last yesterday.
Afan Jack is having a summer to remember, he recorded the fourth win in his last six outings when taking a trouble strewn A4 in 29.20.
It took Chamberlain Zara 15 races to record her first win but only two more races to notch a second win when scorching away by 10L in A2 class in 28.48, reckon she won't see that grade for quite a while now!

Saturday 12 August 2017

Quality!

A quality three timer for the kennel on Thursday with Blackstone Solar kicking us of with a fine A2 win in 28.45.
Proud Mel matched this feat when also winning A2 by a neck in 28.73.
It was left to Jaffer to put the icing on the cake with a brilliant run to win the A1 in 28.46

Thursday 10 August 2017

At last!

Thursday hatrick
It took us months and months to get Blackstone Solar right
After injury but in his debut race tonight he won the a2 in style winning for owners Richard Taylor and Edward Bentall in a good 28.45.
Proud Mel also took another a2 making all and giving Taylor a double in the night.
Jaffer won the a1 in a trap to line victory.

Monday 7 August 2017

Back in the groove

Looks like we have stopped the slide in form for Seoul Aurora, a winner in A3 not so long ago, the daughter of Ja Mann contested A6 today at the Green, she won nicely and recorded 28.72 which is a career best!
On the same card today, Fabulous Status won by 4L in S2 class in 38.75 and the youngster Miss Jodee tore away in A7 to win by 7L in a rapid 28.65..thats pups for ya!

Friday 21 July 2017

Jodee in control

Miss Jodee won on her debut on Thursday night. She is only a Feb 2016 baby out of new American sire and top class runner in Storm Control (pictured).
This fella looked the business on the track in the US:
1st 2014 Palm Beach $20,000 Bob Balfe Puppy Stakes Classic.
1st 2015 Palm Beach $50,000 He's My Man Classic.
1st 2015 Palm Beach $50,000 Rooney's Irish Stakes Inv.
2nd 2015 Daytona $35,000 BetAmerica550 National Championship.
Will be interesting to see how his career develops on this side of the pond.

Wednesday 19 July 2017

2 before tea

A double at the Monmore today kicking off with Large Shilling. I reckon this 4L win in A3 is enough to leave that grade behind now, he really is at the top of his game right now and I would not be shocked if he went in again very soon.
Our second winner today came from Notorious Rhys, he always looked to be a winner lurking in A4 as he is a bit better than this, a dog blessed with solid early pace, he rode some trouble to snatch an important first bend lead to win by 3/4L.

Archie on target

I posted this pic up back in mid June of Moanteen Archie and gave him as a nice dog to follow.
He had a troubled debut run in A4 but the grader was clearly impressed as Archie was put up to A3 despite being beaten!
It made no difference on Monday as this handy son of Ballymac Eske proved way too classy when showing too much heel for the others to win by 2L, the time of 28.97 was only average but this dog is way above average I believe.

Moanteen Archie

Monday 17 July 2017

Mystic Chris

Quote from 2nd July
"On the same card Ryders Ellie showed she is still on the improv when despite a double upgrade for winning well in A6, she fairly ran away from the opposition to win by over 5L in 28.79...more still to come!"
Well we were right as she was stepped up in trip latest and had no trouble disposing of S3 class in 38.77, thats three wins from her last four...go Ellie!

Friday 14 July 2017

Max's the man

Maxitout has to be one of if not THE most consistent dogs at Monmore!
His recent times of his races read 28.37, 28.45. 28.40, 28.47, 28.47, and last nights A1 win in 28.41.
It clearly shows this dog tries his heart out every single time he runs. A dream dog for any owner for sure

Sunday 2 July 2017

Improvers

Looks like Jaffer is back to his best after a solid effort in A2 on Saturday night. This wide running son of Sherrys Goldmine had too much EP for the opposition and ran out a comfortable 2L winner 28.53.
On the same card Ryders Ellie showed she is still on the improv when despite a double upgrade for winning well in A6, she fairly ran away from the opposition to win by over 5L in 28.79...more still to come!

Thursday 29 June 2017

Sharni just keeps producing

This is spooky, after Teeny's win yesterday, her sister Vikki did the same tonight at the Green, and by the same distance, a SHD making it two S2 wins on the bounce.
It's never a bad policy when buying a young dog to look at what the Dam has previously thrown. I don't mean Grade 1 winners as such as they then would command a princely sum, no, look at how many wins the progeny have had. As a starting point if the mother throws winners, the rest is a bonus.
One thing the mother Head Iton Sharni does is throw winners!!

Thriving Teeny

Headiton Teeny won her third race from her last five outings on Wednesday, it was by the minimum margin but who cares! Dropped down in trip after plying her trade with wins in S4 she survived...nay! thrived in a trouble strewn A7 to get up near the line and improve her win ratio even further....go Teeny!

Monday 26 June 2017

Vikki too Tricky

Well done to Headiton Vikki on Friday at t'Green.
Contesting S2, the brindled daughter of Droopys Jet took it up at the 3rd to win by 3/4L in 38.69

Monday 19 June 2017

The kennel roars

A fab four winners on Friday at the Green.
Ketch Up Ethan was first to get the ball rolling with a led all the way win in 29.10 in A5 (-.70!)
We then took the last three races on the card. Headiton Teeny appreciated the return to S4 when avoiding scrimmaging on the inside to win by over 10L in 38.74.
Smokestack Levi added to his tally with another solid effort in A3 to lead all the way in 28.64.
Found It defied the grader when taking the last race on the card from our own Standbye Athena when leading at the 3rd bend to win in 29.08.
We added to the tally on Saturday night when Large Shilling broke his duck at the 9th attempt. The son of Boherna House led at the third corner to win by 3/4L in 28.84.

Wednesday 14 June 2017

While the Cats away, the mice will....

One winner on Monday and a tasty treble today, maybe I should watch more Rugby around the world!
Headiton Sharpy, without a win since February and after hitting the cross bar twice recently, finally got back on the podium.
A scrappy race but it did not deter the son of Droopys Jet who led at the third bend to win in 28.88, surely he can double up with a less troubled run next time.

Today's BAGS fixture at the Green was a bit of a feast.
Bloemfontein, fresh from his win only five days ago, doubled up here in fine style despite the upgrade to A4.
Not to be out done, Proud Mel enjoyed her own quick fire double when brushing away the A2 opposition with a cosy 3L victory.
Finally, Scroggy Cherry got a big cheer from her followers, winless since mid January, it all fell right on the day for the daughter of Wise Thought. Early crowding once again could not put her off and she powered home to win well.

Sunday 11 June 2017

Two singles

Bloemfontein grabbed a vital early lead and held on by the minimum margin on Friday afternoon to score in A5 in 28.94.
On Saturday, Standbye Athena made it win number 17 of her 92 race career to date, she led all the way to record 29.24 in A6 class.

Friday 9 June 2017

Fore!!

























Four winners on Thursday's Monmore Card to write home about.
On her 10th start for us, Pegs Berry got off the mark in S4 class. This daughter of Crash rode some trouble but held on comfortably to record 39.36 which is a P.B and hopefully she gets the winning habit going forward now.

Santas Ace had been kindly moved up three grades for his A6 romp and it took him two runs to acclimatise, last night, this powerful son of Ace Hi Rumble ground it out on the run in to win by 3/4L in 28.84.

Proud Mel took the other A3 and there was never a moments concern as she crossed the line 5L to the good in a personal best 28.62!

Found It was the finally leg of our Quad, unusually for her without a win in 8 outings, the fawn daughter of Sidelight quickened for the second time in her race when forging clear on the home run to win easily by 2 1/2L in 29.27

FORE!!....sorry....FOUR!!

Wednesday 7 June 2017

Round Up

Yee Ha!, the round up is here again.
Friday we had the incredibly consistent Notorious Rhys winning again. In her last 8 races her form figures read 12241221
This time she made the breakthrough in A3 class with a trap to line win in 28.81.

The kennel legend Maxitout scored yet again in A1 company on Saturday after his recent away trips to Nottingham, the standing dish at the Green won well in 28.37.
Later on the same card Vigourous Debbie secured a brace of S1's when leading from the getgo to win cosily in 38.02


Thursday 1 June 2017

Teeny not weeny

Headiton Teeny was our only winner on the card on Tuesday but it was more than welcome!
Running in S4, the diminutive daughter of Droopys Jet (23.3kg) stayed wide and away from trouble to scoot to a 2L success in 39.28

Thursday 25 May 2017

Max'd it out

We took our kennel warrior Maxitout to Nottingham on Monday to contest the Betfred.com Maiden Standard Trophy Heat 2.
Despite taking on a well regarded newcomer in the shape of Donation, Maxitout from his favoured trap 6 took up it around the second turn to run out a decisive winner over the 500m trip. We go into the final as fastest heat winners and looking like it's just Donation we have to hold off again.

Tuesday 23 May 2017

Oi Oi Danny Boy!

It took nine races for Mystical Danny to notch his first win at the Green since coming from Central Park but today saw win number 2 from his last 4 races now and this likeable son of the great Top Honcho, although no spring chicken, should continue to win plenty. Today was A4 class and he clocked a P.B of 28.72

Wednesday 17 May 2017

Tuesday 16 May 2017

Stack is Smoking now!

It's taken four runs for Smokestack Levi to find his feet but safe to say he has now after a tremendous effort in A3 yesterday at Monmore. His 28.83 win was not without a little crowding so there should be more to come yet.
On the same card, Afan Jack got up on the line for a SHD victory in A5 for career win number 7.

Sunday 14 May 2017

The ladies Have It!

The kennel bagged three winners on Friday afternoon at Monmore.
First up was Seoul Aurora on her comeback after pulling up lame in March, she led the A3 a merry dance from start to finish and clocked 28.86.
Next was Notorious Rhys who pushed her personal bar a little higher when winning her first A4 and will now rub shoulders with A3 company after another all the way win in 28.88.
The treble was bought up by the ever reliable Student Princess, she had all sorts of trouble last week but was first perfect from the lids and held on by the minimum margin to make it win number 16 in her 58 race career to date.

Friday 12 May 2017

Peytons the Boy!

Peytons boy made it career win number 10 from his 72 starts for us at Monmore on Wednesday.
He was kindly dropped to A8 and made no mistake when leading at the first turn to win my 2L in 29.34

Tuesday 9 May 2017

Monday wins

Two winners to document on yesterday's BAGS card at the Green.
Head Iton Vikki despite a trouble strewn race was strongest at the finish when getting up to win the S2 in 38.59.
In the very next race, Standbye Athena powered away off the 2nd turn to win in A5 in 29.13.

Friday 5 May 2017

That was ACE

Santas Ace really showed us what he's made of at the Green this afternoon. The grader dropped him into S2 after only one run in top grade and he put the opposition to the sword when blasting out and pulling clear for an easy 7 1/4L win in 38.20, the only shock was his SP...7/1!

Thursday 4 May 2017

Oh Danny Boy!

Wednesday's BAGS meeting threw up..guess what, a double!
Mystical Danny got his first win on the board since arriving from Central Park. It was in A5 but now he has settled at the track, this likeable son of the great Top Honcho should improve through the grades somewhat.
Good old Afan Jack ran his usual game and consistent race when taking the other A5 on the card by 1L in 29.04.

Sunday 30 April 2017

10/1!!!

Three more bangers from this weekend.
Friday we had vigorous Debbie in the S1, despite some early trouble she strode away for a facile 5 1/4L success in 38.28.
Saturday it was back to the norm of two winners on the card. Jaffer put behind him a couple of 6th place finishes when getting back in the groove in A2, his 2 3/4L win in 28.44 was well deserved.
Fabulous Status recorded a quick double when laughing at her odds of 10/1 with a display of early pace to win well in 38.30 despite the upgrade to S1

Friday 28 April 2017

Another double!

"Results from last night were taken off GBGB website this morning and showed up differently from actual result as a few of you kindly pointed out...now amended"
Roys Boy dead won the first race on Thursday night, an A1 on a very slow track, his calculated time of 28.28 was not too shabby mind.

Sales Fever has made the break through into Open class company now after taking the 630m Open by 1/2L last night. This powerful son of Vans Escalade relished the conditions and continues his tremendous run of form.

Wednesday 26 April 2017

Another double

The doubles continue.
Today at Monmore, Maxitout got it spot on with a paw perfect performance on very slow going. Taking it up at the 3rd corner he strode away for a 2 1/4L win in A1 company.
Later on the same card Afan Thor recorded win number 15, soon taking the lead the black son of Slip The Lark was always in command of this A5 eventually stopping the clock in 29.47 (going allowance to follow!)

Monday 24 April 2017

Double Double

There seems no let up in the kennel form right now and long may it continue.
Friday and Saturday were doubles day. Fabulous Status was first up, a regular winner of S2 races and it was no different on Friday with a 3/4L win in 38.35 at the rewarding odds of 6/1.
Head iton Teeney got back to winning ways after 11 previous fruitless outings with a solid win in S4 in 39.13.

We had to wait for the last two races on Saturday night to get on the score card but it was well worth the wait. Head iton Murph won his S1 by 6L in 37.95 then Express Radar won the A2 by 3L in 28.54....both sent punters home happy as 6/4favs.

Thursday 20 April 2017

It's a long way from Kilkenny

After plying his trade at the tough Kilkenny track, Staff Rebel showed us what he's made off on his second start at Monmore on Monday. He fluffed the start badly and found trouble before storming home late on to win A4 in 28.84.
On the same card Express Bressie who had gone off the boil after an S3 win back in January showed what a drop in grade can do. She never saw another rival when striding out for an imperious 8L success in 38.77.

Sunday 16 April 2017

More!

You can't beat a Friday double (maybe a treble does actually).
The Sidelight bitch Found It made it win number four in her career with a game win in A5 clocking 29.15.
Later on the same card, the lightning early paced Notorious Rhys also captured an A5 despite first bend trouble and stopped the watch on 29.01.
We had to wait for the last race on Saturday night to record our next winner but it was well worth the wait. Pascals Law had been eased to A2 by the nice grader and this likeable son of Mall Brandy needed no second invitation when striding to a very stylish victory in a rapid 28.20, that was 56 spots quicker than the other A2 on the card and it should do his confidence the world of good now...expect more!

Thursday 13 April 2017

Old Father Time

Time flies as well all know but the win of Peytons Boy on Tuesday makes me realise how quick, I trained the mother and the father in Dixies Craft and Ballymac Ace. Peytons has just turned three now and marked the day with a 1 1/2L win in A7.
I reckon we found the key to Santas Ace tonight at the Green. He was thrown into Open class company over 4 bends at Nottingham, then struggled in S3 at Crayford but after two runs for us at Monmore over 480m in A5 class, it was clear that he would relish a step up to 630m and proved us right with a terrific performance despite trouble to win the maiden Open, reckon he can take in 8 bends too!

Sunday 2 April 2017

Bitches..who'd have one?

Some people prefer to buy dogs because there is less interruption in their career compared to bitches who have to stop racing to have a season or if they run through a season very often their form goes out the window. The plus side to owning a bitch is that when she hits form they maintain it longer than dogs.
The old adage to follow a bitch in form so often pays dividends and we saw a prime example last night at Monmore with Barnagrane Glen.
Already a winner of her last two races (A2 and A1) she romped to her three timer with a 3L win, each time getting quicker and quicker clocking 28.57, 28.51 and now 28.32.
All this on the back of ten straight defeats since her last win in November.
Who would bet against her getting the four timer up next outing?

Wednesday 29 March 2017

Great records

Student Princess continues to flaunt her consistency with win number 16 of her career. An A2 affair in which she led all the way for a 28.62 win.
Standbye Athena on the same card bettered that win tally with a 17th success at Monmore for a 29.05 A6 victory.
Express Radar bought up the Monday treble, helped by an ease to A3, this blue son of Droopys Scolari (aren't they all!) took it up at the third bend to win well in 28.62.
Flandy Megry added to this treble on Tuesday's BAGS card.
This amazing bitch has recorded 24 wins, 38 second places and 35 third place finishes in her 150 race career to date!
Her latest win came in S2, another nail biter, she held on by a head in 38.59.

Sunday 26 March 2017

Sky Promo Vid



Done just before we won our third Pall Mall on the trot at Oxford.

Glen keeps Lording it

Last time out, Barnagrane Glen led home a 1-2 for the kennel in A2 when accounting for Maxitout. On Thursday she again finished in front of another of our stalwarts in Jaffer when winning the A1 in 28.53, her early pace is key to her successes.

Thursday 23 March 2017

Three Stayers

Have some fun this summer and invest in these three cheap staying dogs.
I have available for sale from left to right Staff Rebel, Pegs Berry and Skip Off.
All three will run over the 630m at Monmore.
I have no doubt they will win many races between them and give their new owners plenty of fun nights out racing.
I will sell them all as a job lot for £1200
I can also syndicate them 3 owners @ £400 each.


Saturday 18 March 2017

Gallops

The gallop has been harrowed this morning ready for some work outs for the dogs.



Thursday 16 March 2017

The Power

I think we have to start Calling Richard Taylor 'Richard The Power' Taylor, since buying his first greyhound Flandy Megry nearly 3 years ago, his love for the sport has grown and grown. Today he snapped up another two dogs and now owns 20 in total at West View.
He enjoys the winners, but also takes it on the chin when we have some bad luck and never moans or groans.
He understands you have to enjoy the good times because in this sport there are plenty of bad times.
I would just like to thank Richard for his continued support of the kennel and wish him many more winners over the years.

Monday 13 March 2017

Juicy Jaffer

Jaffer blitzed the A1 on Saturday night at the Green, his early pace really is a potent weapon and he went on to score by over 6L, skipping clear of first bend trouble to clock 28.53
On the same card, Found It captured the Paul Smith Memorial Final (A8) in 29.16.
Barnagrane Glen made it three on the night with Gold in the A2 beating our own Maxitout by 3/4L in 28.57.

Saturday 11 March 2017

Round Up

Round up time from the past week....
last Saturday we had the consistent Peytons Boy record another win in Heat 1 of the A7 Paul Smith Memorial Trophy, stopping the clock in 29.48.
Tuesday saw us notch another for March with Whiskey Jaydee who has now won three from only eight runs and clocked a P.B to boot of 29.17.
On Thursday Joy For Roy proved how consistent happy and healthy greyhounds run when clocking the exact same time as the previous winning week with another 28.59 A2 win!
On the same card Afan Jack won by a neck in 29.16 after appreciating the ease to A6 after fruitless attempts in A5 since January.
Ketch Up Ethan captured the treble for us that night. On debut from an earlier career at Swindon he won by the minimum margin at huge odds of 10/1 in A4. Initially Ethan looked highly tried but judging by some of his wins at Blunsden Abbey he looks like a dog that keeps a little in his locker and makes it difficult for the grader to properly grab hold of him.

Thursday 9 March 2017

Rogue is up for sale

coolavanny Rogue has been put up for sale for £3000
Interested parties should contact me asap.

Friday 3 March 2017

Tou Chez

Back in 2011 we trained a smashing bitch called Pots and Pans (pictured), she won A1 after only four runs for us and looked to be making up into a seriously classy bitch until on her tenth race she got bowled over and her career on the track was cut short.

Since then she has gone on to throw 3 litters of pups to Scolari Me Daddy, Ballymac Eske and now Ballymac Vic. We trained the speedy Frankies Lad from Eske's litter and now we have Chez Vic from Ballymac Vic's litter and we just might have a little star on our hands.

Chez Vic had the second race of her life on Tuesday after a lofty debut appearance in A3 class. I think it is safe to say she came on for that run as she tore away from the opposition to win by nearly 6L in a fantastic 28.35! Not two years old until September, she has unlimited potential and exciting times ahead await for all connected with her.

Blooming Fontein

Without a win since November and fully ten runs on the trot in A6, Bloemfontein got back in the winners enclosure this afternoon at Monmore. Showing good early gears he spreadeagled his field to win by 4 1/2L in 29.33.
In the very next race, Joy For Roy proved what a standing dish his is in A2 company with another straightforward win by 3 1/4L in 28.99. The going was registered on the GBGB site as normal but I will be surprised if this is not changed to -30 or -40 in time.

A Change is as good as.....

They say a change is as good as a rest and it can work wonders with greyhounds. Roys Boy had a successful away day at Perry Barr last week, it certainly seemed to have freshened him up as he fairly bolted in last night in A1 at Monmore. Despite missing the break he fairly tore around the track eventually beating good yardstick Droopys Brighton by nearly 4L in a rapid 28.21.
Also on the same card Sales Fever helped himself to another S1 and made it three wins in his last four races with an impressive 38.23 victory.

Friday's BAGS card resulted in another win for the progressive Romeo Campaign. A7 at Peterborough not so long ago, he will now cross swords with A2 class at the Green after this comprehensive win in A3 in 28.80 (maybe the grader will look kindly and give him one more spin in A3 ;)

Barr One

No luck at home track Monmore on Saturday night but we did manage to hit the back of the net with Roys Boy at Perry Barr. Contesting the 480m Maiden, he rode a first bend bump to stride out a cosy 4L winner in 28.97...way to go Roy!

N..N..Notorious

A8 in December and now A3 in February!, thats some improvement for Notorious Rhys after winning his first visit to A4 grade, how high can you go?

Also on the same card yesterday afternoon was Afan Thor who clearly has found his feet now at Monmore and also grabbed an A4

Debbie so Vigourous!

Only one winner on Saturday night at Monmore but it was the best race on the card. I mentioned last week that we had two through to the final of the Lloyd Coach Services S1 competition. The bookies could not separate them as 5/2 joint favourites and the race reflected that when Vigorous Debbie got first run on Sales Fever and held on to win by 3/4L, the pair pulling nearly 4L clear of the remainder in 38.19

Big Wheel Keeps On Turnin'

One winner on Thursday followed by three today at the Green.
Coolavanny Rogue was dropped to the grade of his debut win and promptly did the business again clocking a personal best of 28.65 in the process and should continue to improve in the coming weeks/months.
Headiton Vikki mixes A5 and S3 with aplomb and notched another gold today winning by nearly 6L in 38.82.
Whisky Jaydee was another to clock a PB when winning A8 in 29.39.
Fabulous Status who was quite an eye catcher in defeat last time duly stepped up to the plate with a cosy romp in S2 in 38.44

Early pace wins the race

A double today at the Green, Bricki avoided serious trouble in behind with a rapid break and came home unchallenged by 6L.

Peytons Boy pretty much repeated the feat in A8 later on in the card, the kennel remains in great form still.

Teeny not so Weeny

Headiton Teeny kept the ball rolling today at Monmore. Running again in S3 this daughter of Droppys Jet was allowed to go off at monster odds of 10/1, she showed her customary early pace and won by nearly 3L in 40.19

5....it's a magic number!

5 winners at Monmore last night, and every one a diamond!
First to kick off the quintet was Notorious Rhys in A5, it took her six races to get a first when but now she is three wins from her last five runs and will now mix it in A4 company.
Next up was Express Radar in A2, without a win since November, this likeable son of Droopys Scolari scored well in 28.73.
Win number three on the night came by the way of good ol' Jaffer. He's been paying the price since that great treble back in October but fairly bolted out and ran away from his A2 rivals to score by 3L in 28.39.
Sales Fever took heat 1 of the Lloyds Coach Services Trophy, an S1 sponsored two round competition and will be joined in the final by our own Vigourous Debbie who qualified in second place in the other Heat.
The final race on the card and our 5th winner came from Romeo Campaign in A4. He'd previously run graded at Swindon and Peterborough but clearly likes his new surroundings as he won well in 28.82 despite crowding at the first turn.

Whisky on the side

Its always great to see pups coming through from Dams we trained in the past. Yesterday, Whiskey Jaydee got off the mark for his career with a gutsy and hard fought win on very slow going. His mother was Sidelight who we had many memorable days with a few years back. I'm sure that Whiskey Jaydee will continue to do her proud.

La Cuchilla, a recent winner in A2 was dropped after an unsuccessful attempt to win A1 and gratefully accepted the gift when winning by over 4L in a rapid 28.28!
This afternoon Joy For Roy grabbed another A2 with a gutsy win by 1L in 29.17 and make it career win no7.

A couple of winners to mention as we go into the weekend. Thursday was HeadIton Vicki's day, despite early crowding she came out the comfortable winner of the 'Indalo Ace 100 Club' A5.
