Ten to follow 2013

After a heartbreaking start to last year, with fatal, and career ending injuries to our up and coming stars, I have been reluctant to put out 10 stars to follow in 2013, as I don't want to put a jinx on them.

The year ended much better winning two Cat 1 finals and some smaller finals as well, and finishing 4th in the country was a massive achievement after the start we had. Once again I'm very proud we won Monmore Trainer of the year for the sixth year running.

With the arrival of Paul Sallis I think we will not have it our own way and it will be a tough challenge to hold the title in 2013, But if anyone knows me, I love a challenge so bring it on Sallis !!!

My Ten To Follow For 2013 -

Please do not be offended if your greyhound is not on the list below,I could put another 10 or more dogs to follow as my kennel strength is fantastic and improving daily.

Express Flame (Hondo Black x Express Mist) This lovely fawn bitch will play a massive part in all the major bitch competitions.

Cluxtons Free (Ballymac Maeve x Park Halo) Big brindle dog has it all pace/power possible Derby dog.

Chevy Blazer  (Crash x Lemon Rita, July 2011) She has real class and he breeding suggests she could be a superstar over 6 bends.

Srategic Review (Ninja Jamie x Cabra Fly, July 2011) This big blue home reared could really be anything, as he has had very little schooling done.

Senor George (Ace Hi Rumble x Hondo on Air) An absoulote machine of a dog, with a bit of luck, he could go to the very top.

Phoenix Bolt (Year Man x Droopys Marcia, May 2011) Usain has landed, early pace to die for. A 28.74 debut win at Clonmel marks his down a serious pup in the making.

Larky Ego (Express Ego x Moneygall Larky) Won by 12 on debut at Limerick, very young bitch pup, looks real class.

Baileys Quest (Scolari My Daddy x Slaneyside Kelly, February 2011) Has the potential to take on and beat the best. Had a slight set back after joining us from Ireland where he impress at Thurles.

Express Rover (Hondo Black x Express Mist, November 2010) The 2012 Romford puppy cup finalist has more to come and has a big 2013 ahead of him.

Joscar (Kinloch Brae x Jeffrys Brindle, January 2011) You will see this studding brindle fellow win many more races this year now he has been stepped up in distance.
