A head scratcher

Cant understand why Express Lodge is not sold yet?

This superb early pacer went round Monmore yesterday in 28.71 after a  4.34 split.

This full brother to Master will win many races with his brute early pace.

£1000

Oh what a night!

Not a bad Thursday night at all, Lightning Sky leads home a 1-2-3 in the first race an A2 at Monmore and Ballymac Warrior does exactly the same in the last race, again an A2 and again a 1-2-3....when has that ever happened?
To top it all Exocet scorches round Hove to record the fastest sectional and winning time in the semis of the Sussex Cup at Hove and has a very nice make up in next weeks final...top team

Quck Roundup

Just the one winner Thursday night in Corley Oyster and one yesterday in Frankies Fly,

Exocet ran well in his heat of the Sussex Cup finishing a close 2nd after a bump at the bend.

Another Romantic Rambo anyone?

One of our Irish contacts has bred an outstanding litter of saplings - their dam in previous litter has bred the best stayer in the UK at the moment - none other than the great 'Romantic Rambo' - select stayers winner at Nottingham Tuesday night breaking the t-record.


These saplings are all black in Colour and have been reared with total freedom so far and best of all they can be reared on at their current kennels in Tipperary.


Their sire - was the ill fated but tremendously fast 'Oran maestro' - who was sold for a whopping £40,000 - He beat the likes of 'Paradise madison' and Irish derby winner 'Slippery Robert'. He was one of the fastest dogs in Ireland last year

Their dam - is the top open race producing - 'Moment of time'

His best flying times include - 28.15 - Shelbourne - 28.25 Shelbourne - 28.76 Thurles - 28.50 Clonmel - He was 2nd in the £80,000 Con Kirby Memorial at Limerick beaten 1 1/2 lengths by 'Roxholme bully'

Without a doubt these saplings are classically bred - They are now 7 months old - their is 5 in total for sale

Interested parties can talk to the breeder direct in Tipperary - Price of dogs is £1,500 - which in our opinion is very reasonable when you consider their breeding - 

For more details - TEL : Ross - 00353 87 6112719

Afternoon Trio

3 winners today

Paul Scotts Ciarans Ace,

Rich Taylors Flandy Megry

And Lynn Moore's and Baz Knights Lynn's Little Gem 

Newsflash

we are currently in protracted negotiations to bring a leading stayer/middle distance runner from Ireland into the kennel

This dogs dam has previously bred champions dogs - and who have won category one finals and dogs who are rated well over 100 on data.

This dog himself  - has recently clocked the fastest time of the year over 526m in his last race beating dogs they want £10k for - and has also clocked the 2nd fastest time of the year at a different track - over 6 bends. - 

Hopefully he will be aimed at the £25,000 to winner St leger at Wimbledon in November and the likes of the Champion stakes - at Romford - over 575m.

we are trying to secure him for a low four figure sum which will represent huge value -  owners can telephone me direct for more details.

The tide is turning

Long standing owner Pete Symonds has taken the final share in Bingo lad

Good luck Pete!!

At this point i would like to thank all my loyal owners 

For continuing to support the kennel through good and bad times.

Its been a difficult first six months of the year, with all different things going wrong, but i can see a change of luck coming shortly and hopefully a strong finish to the year.  

Sales update

As we have already stated in previous posts - dogs at Value for money prices are extremely scarce in todays market.

Racedogs and pups having their 1st few races are being sold for large five figure sums on a regular basis - for Example only last week an Oct 12 whelp  - by - Tyrur Big mike

won in Kilkenny in 29.12 and was sold after several enquires for over £16,000 - he had 3 races 1 win - Another Oct 12 whelp who had won in Cork - A Ballymac Maeve Pup won in 29.72 for the 503m - he had 7 races 3 wins and was sold for £14,000 to a leading trainer at Hove.

we are constantly being offered dogs some which are not good enough and others which are way overpriced. 

One pup we have secured at a very low modest four figure sum is like the above dogs only an Oct 12 whelp. He recently reached the final of a £2,000 competition.

He has been racing and winning on probably one of the toughest and slowest running tracks in Ireland - Thurles & Youghal.

In his very 1st race he showed tremendous pace down the backs traight to come from 6 lengths behind to win by  2 1/4 lengths in a time of 29.49 at Youghal.

It was however his race in Thurles that impressed us most - this time trapping in front he was never headed - Showing top flight all round pace. Staying the tough 480metres strong he pulled away to win by an increasing 4 1/2 lengtths in a fabulous time of 28.84.

To put this pups time into perspective - - a dog called 'Cill dubh Bolt' won the same night in 28.85 leading all the way - He was sold for over £15,000.

Also the £7,000 Tipperary cup was ran the same night - it contained 2014 Arc finalist - 'All about ya' -(28.31 Swindon - 28.70 in the English derby - he recorded 28.98 the same night as this pup done 28.84- This stake also contained the likes of 'Midtown raffa' - 28.50 Clonmel - 2014 Produce stakes finalist - £25,000 refused. This heat was won in 28.89. )5 spots slower)

This pups card reads :

***1st in 29.49 525 yards race Youghal*** (Racing debut)

***1st in 28.84 525 yards Race Thurles*** 

we have agreed terms on this pup at the price, as we feel he represents huge value for money - In the final he was out in five and was badly baulked at the 2nd and 3rd bends.

Pups the same age and winning times (approx)29.21 & 28.85 Kinloch brae whelps were recently advertised - on G.Data - for £14,000 - & £15.000 and were both sold. This pup will only cost a fraction of that, which is a low modest four figure sum.

what we also like about this pup is that he won from the front and from off the pace - He stays the 480m strongly and is a railer to middle runner. This pup will be arving at westview kennels this week - he is going for a veterinary examination by one of the leading vets in Ireland - Dermot Dooge and will arrive with us afterwards.

He will be campaigned in puppy open compeitions maybe the likes of the Puppy cup Romford or the Northern puppy derby.

Interested parties should phone me direct or come up to the kennels to visit for a chat and view the dog.

Please note** this pups sire - was sold for £50,000 as a race dog and as already produced the likes of - 'Droopys Jet' - English derby finalist - & Jumeriah Dubai - -National sprint winner & only recently 'Mill Jolson' - the 2014 Gymcrack winner.

Bingo Pots into Westview

As already previously mentioned, we are still on a continuous basis being offered a vast array of greyhounds who are emerging for sale - some are we feel are way over priced - in the five figures bracket - 

Last week - we were offered two dogs - on closer examination of there 'form' we felt they were worth securing for our owners at Westview.

They only cost low four figure sums and one of these dogs is only 1 1/2 lengths off the tracks record!! and only .07spots slower than the likes of Aero nemesis's best run at the same track.

and he cost over £25,000.

Both dogs are litter brothers - by leading sire - 'Crash' who has sired this years £200,000 English Derby winner.

Lot 1 - 

Bingojackpotlad - by - Crash x Embassy lane - who is full litter sister to the great - Premier fantasy.

This dog has produced some top open class runs to date in Ireland.

Just look at some of his formlines and judge for yourself.

***1st 28.96 525 yards Shelbourne***

***1st 28.93 525 yards Shelbourne***

***1st 28.71 525 yards Shelbourne***

***1st 28.77 525 yards Shelbourne***

***1st 28.70 525 yards Dundalk***

However it his is latest few runs that are really eye catching.

***1st in 28.44 525 yards Dundalk*** 

winning a £1,500 final.

***1st in 28.40 525 yards Newbridge*** - beating open class dogs.

AS the above already shows us - this dog has some brilliant formlines - his time alone in Dundalk of 28.44 is simply flying - some of the fastest dogs in Ireland or England wouldn't go any faster.

if it was a Sept 12 or younger pup that recorded this time he would be making £30,000 plus with a queue of people trying to buy him.

- This dog will win plenty of top open class races wherever he races - we have secured him quickly because at the price (Low four figures) we feel he represents value for money.

He passed one of Irelands leading veterinary surgeons - Dennis beary yesterday and will be landing at Westview kennels this weekend - where he can be viewed.

The 2nd dog we actually secured is a litter brother to Bingojackpotboy - Although his winning times are not as quick as the Bingojackpotlad - he still has recorded open class times

we purchased the 2 dogs together as we got them cheaper than by only taking one and 

BIngojackpotboy - is only half the price of 'lad'

He has still won 7 races in his short career to date recording open class times.

He has won his last 2 races in fastest times of the night) over the testing 575 yards/526 metres and will definitely stay further

Look at his formlines - and once again judge for yourself.

**1st in 31.92 575 yards  Shelbourne Park

**1st in 30.53 550 yards  Shelbourne

**1st in 31.77 525 yards  Shelbourne

**1st in 30.15 550 yards  Harolds cross

**1st in 31.48 575 yards  Newbridge 

**1st in 31.47 575 yards  Newbridge

(Fastest times of the night)

We believe this dog from what we have seen will stay maybe 6 bends - the likes of the 630metres at Monmore and the 575 mtres at Romford - would be ideal for him.

He would also be ideal for the likes of Nottinghams 500metres hove 515metres - as he is very versatile.

As stated above we done a deal to buy the two of these comrades together as it worked out cheaper.

They have some superb winning form and will be come valuable members of our open race squad - This dog has also passed leading veterinary surgeon - Dennis Beary and will be arriving with his brother - this weekend.

Both dogs are availbale at low four figure sums which we believe is value form money especially when you consider one is only 12 spots of a long standing track record and only .07 spots slower than 'Aero nemesis's) best time at the same track.

interested parties please phone me further to discuss these dogs further.

An Ace Walk

Two welcome winners on the Bags card yesterday, Luminous Walk showed his customary early pace to win his A4 in 28.65 and the young Daughter of Peg puppy Ciarans Ace scores after only two runs in her life and will surely win plenty of races in her career.
