Bawna Anna Leads Treble

The Mr R Bayliss, owned Bawna Anna landed the Division A Varnell Puppies Open at Monmore this evening. Anna had to show all her guts and determination to battle the early trouble and force her way through on the inside of the field. She kicked again off the last bend to record a time of 29.11 (unadjusted). The photograph left shows the after race presentation. Kiveton Mist rolled back the years when taking the opening race on the card. Mist, approaching his 5th birthday, led from the traps to win in 29.81. Brett Time showed why he is one to follow for 2009 with a stunning win in the A2, 29.11.

Morning Call

A number of the dogs made the most of the drying ground and had a gallop this morning. Our website photographer took a few different shots of which a couple are shown, some will appear in time on the website and a couple were taken for the owners. The dogs shown are Bawna Elsa(first 2), Head iton Paddy, Bookem Danno and Centaur Bliss.

Friday Double

Tyanas Boy won his first race in 2009 for us when taking the A3 in 28.75 this afternoon. Bettyville Dove brought the double up when showing some rapid early pace and then came again to win the A4 in 28.89.

Bookem Wayne

Wayne Mardles Hawaii 501 syndicate lead a fantastic Thursday night treble for us as Bookem Danno won the A3 in 28.74 when blasting out the boxes to lead all the way. Bawna Elsa made it 2 wins from 2 starts when showing some real grit to hang on to a victory in the A4 (Up 2 grades) in 29.08. Coolemount Show is showing she is in great order with herself by winning back to back races, this time in A2 in 28.79 by 6 lengths !!

Burnpark Injured & Saturday Entires

Sadly Burnpark Champ sustained a tendon injury in Wednesdays Trial Stake at Swindon and will now face another spell on the sidelines. It's desperate bad luck as Champ as the ability to be one of the leading dogs in the country.

We have four Open Race entries at Monmore on Saturday, Farran Kate, Bawna Anna, Head iton Tonge and Head iton Tyler.

I have two people ready to join our small select syndicate to purchase Rackethall Hero. Please call this weekend if interested or speak me to me at the track.

Rackethall Hero

I was on the phone to the owner of Rackethall Hero who couldn't believe hadn't been sold yet. He will stand by him and says if he doesn't win Opens over six bends he will replace the dog! What an offer !! I have a few people interested so I'm prepared to sell 4 shares at £1,100. If you would like a share please call me to avoid disappointment.
The trials at Coventry went as expected, this was most of the dogs first run for six weeks. Rev Counter 17.37, Centaur Marine 17.41, Head iton Paddy 17.67 and Farran Kate 30.23 not great but there first trials in 6 weeks.

Crash Pups for Sale

I've just posted in the for Sale section our home bred pups. These April 2008 Crash x Clash Winnie pups really look fantastic. Just check off the top offsping from the line. If you would like to come and view the pups yourself please just call me.

Burnpark Champ will meet Coronation Cup winner Droopys Carvalho at Swindon in a Arc Trial Stake at Swindon on Wednesday. Joining him at Swindon but in a different Trial Stake will be Vancover Dylan.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, we are going to Coventry to trial a number of our Open Race Team. Dogs down to trial include Head iton Paddy, Rev Counter, Centaur Marine, Scotties Warrior, Farran Kate and Ballymac Bound.

Rackethall Hero - For Sale Video

This video shows Rackethall Hero who is currently for sale in the for sale site of the website. Just watch how much ground this lad makes up. A stunning debut. This lad should be another Open Class runner off the dam who has thrown a number of staying Open Racers.

Outreach Photography

This morning we had a visit from Outreach Photography who took a selection of photographs to be used on the website over coming weeks. The pictures attached are of Maltese Jim (Black dog-for sale) & Bourne Breezy (Brindle & White). If any of my owners would like a good photograph with their current dog either contact me directly or drop Outreach an email and we will do our best to sort out a kennel visit.

Breezy for Bourne

Bourne Breezy landed the Arrowsmith 630 Open Race at Monmore this evening. Trapping out well and showing some superb early pace Breezy never saw another dog in the race. The winning time was 38.49 whilst the SP was 5/4. Of the other open race runners Officer Donagh fared best when finishing third in the sprint. On the graded front Annasprida Vieri won her first race when the A8 in 29.36 which was then followed up by Gums N Plums (pictured)winning a hard fought closing race of the evening which was an A4 in a 28.97.

Derby Dog

I have been given first refusal on a dog that will target the English Derby this year. He has a recorded time of 28.64 at Shelboune Park, has won at 3 different tracks, early pace and stays. If you are interested please call me and I can give you more details. Aristo Action has been withdrawn for sale after she picked up an injury before travelling over to us.

No Luck at the Barr

Sadly Head iton Tyler and Vancouver Dylan didn't make the frame last night in very tough races live on Sky.Congratulations to all the connections of Fear Zafonic who impressed everyone and looks to have set the standard for 2009. Jonathan Hobbs kindly mentioned the change of ownership for Tyler and also gave the website a plug which was very nice of him. We have entered 7 dogs for the Open Races at Monmore on Saturday night which looks very competitive.

Cabra on easy list

Cabra Fly is recovering from having her tonsils out and should be back in action in 3/4 weeks. Hopefully she will be back to top form shortly after.
Many thanks to all those who called about Tyler. A deal was agreed with a new owner which will be hopefully wrapped up shortly.

Red Hot Burnpark

Burnpark Champ stopped the clock at Swindon today at 28.87 (-50) 28.37 as he continues his preparation towards the Arc. Needless to say we were all over the moon.
Monmore trial highlights included Farran Kate 28.79 and Highview Gold 29.07.

28.95 Winner Aristo Action for Sale - See Sale Section

Ivanovic News

Droopys Ivanovic made a stunning debut over 6 bends on Boxing Day but has not ran since. Sadly she fractured her hock in the race which makes her win in 38.14 even the more remarkable. She now has just one week left in a cast and fingers crossed she will return as good as ever.

Monday Double

A nice double for us this afternoon at Monmore. Blue Foxy Nicky took advantage of not being upped in grade after her win last week when winning in S2 in 38.64. Will surely be S1 next time. Centaur Bliss then won her first race first for us when leading all the way in the A8. This bitch is for sale at just £300 presuming she stays in the kennel. If she keeps recording the split times she did today (4.19) she should win many more races.

Would you like your own Runner on Sky this Thursday ?

Head iton Tyler (still for sale) made it three wins on the bounce at Coventry when landing the Division A Sprint Open at Coventry last night. As normal he showed he cracking early pace and led all the way to win in 17.05. We have entered him against the countries leading sprinters on the under card to the Birmingham Cup, live on Sky, on Thursday. Also heading to Perry Barr is Vancouver Dylan.

Elsa fles on Debut

Bawna Elsa (pictured) set the tongues wagging on Saturday night as she made a stunning debut when winning the final race on the race, A6, in 28.82. She looks to be a great addition for the kennel.

Maltese Jim gave us our other winner of the night when winning the A2 in 29.04. This was his 5th career win and is a pleasure to have in the kennel. Jim is for sale for just £1000 and could give any new owners instant fun.

Bawna Boy was sadly eliminated from the Birmingham Cup on Friday when he could only finish 4th at Perry Barr.

This evening we head to Coventry Open racing with Head iton Hatton, Officer Donagh, Snugfit Flyer, Nats Jedi and Head iton Tyler.

Bawna Boy heads to Perry Barr tonight for the Semi Final of the William Hill Birmingham Cup. He has manged to get three first round winners in his Semi in which two will qualify.

Open Race Dog for Sale

If anyone is interested in owning an Open race dog then I'm pleased to offer for sale Officer Donagh (Daves Mentor x Knock Princess) January 2007 - for £4,000 presuming he stays in the kennel.

This phenomenal early paced son of Daves Mentor doesn't quite get 480 metres but has proved he has the class to win over shorter trips. As a puppy, he won an Open Race at Sunderland clocking a great 27.32 in his first look round. He then went to Romford for the Coral Puppy Cup winning his first round heat in 24.44 despite getting trouble at the first bend. At just 2 years old, and having had just 11 races, this dog is still open to plenty of improvement which will come with time.

No Luck at Office

Sadly no luck at Monmore this afternoon with our graded runners. The evening at Perry Barr for the William Hill Birmingham Cup saw Bawna Boy (pictured) qualify for the Semi Finals after finishing third behind Shaneboy Luke. Cabra Fly missed her break and could never get never get on terms whilst Vancover Dylan had no chance when a dog inside him checked causing him serious traffic problems and end any chance he had. Can I confirm that Rackethall Hero is still for sale, whilst I have received an offer a deal has not been agreed.

Thursday Double

A tough competitive night of racing tonight at Monmore. We managed to return home with two winners and three seconds. Our first winner of the night was Nifty Farloe won the A2 in a tidy 28.88. Sadly our Hamerjack Boy was injured in the same race. Will post an update on him when possible. Emlys Star made her debut a winning one when winning the A6 in 29.27. This bitch could quickly go through the grades and has a nice Irish card, she is up for sale at the moment so please give me a ring if interested.
