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.
