Best Wishes

I would like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and all the very best of luck in 2016.

From Team Allsopp

Kennels Closed

Just a quick note to inform everyone that the kennels will be closed this Sunday.

Rich 'The Power' Taylor

Rich Taylor had dug deep again and took a 1/4 share in Applicant.

This young bitch is top draw and has all ready

Won at Monmore in a flying 28.28.

I have no doubt will go on to win opens in the new year.

3 x 1/4 share available   

@ £625 each.

Price Drop!

Pat Dalton has dropped the price of his A1 and S1 bitches Applicant and Awesome Lass.

These two sisters are real class and will win many top heat and opens in the New Year.

Call if interested in buying outright or taking a share in these hounds.

£2500 each dropped from £3,000 each.

No Mystery

Quite a lean weekend on the winner front but Rough Mystery made the breakthrough into A1 class with a 7/1 victory on Saturday in 28.46 to record his 6th win. We had the forecast in the race too when Veteran did his reliable super strong finish.

Saturday double

Two winners at the Green on Saturday, Answer Me This got off the mark at her 4th attempt when winning an A6 and Inaghs Dalcash who took advantage of some leniency from the grader when winning her S3 nicely

Nice start to the weekend

A nice start to the weekend tonight at Monmore, three winners kicked off with Dublinhill Magic who was ultra impressive winning by nearly 7L in 28.58 (patience has really paid off)

Next up was Gortkelly Nidge who's sights were lowered slightly and it resulted in a good A2 win in 28.42.

Last but not least we saw Peytons Boy finally get off the mark at the 10th attempt and the only way is up from now ;-)

New Career?

Richard Taylor digs deep again.

After a few bad injuries this week to some of Richard's dogs, he has dipped in the market again and took a 1/3 share in Chosen Career. This big brute of a dog

Is up to A2 grade at Monmore and looks a real bargain at £1500

Two 1/3 shares remaining 

@ £500 per share

Glen update

Maurice White has decided to keep an 1/8 share in super bitch Barnagrane Glenn and has sold his other 1/8 share to another share Holder John Chesterton.

Glenn runs tomorrow in the heats of the £5,000 Puppy comp at Monmore and needs to finish in the first two to qualify for the final next week.

John is now the main share holder in Glenn Along with David Torjussen

and Dave Partridge.

Who wants to own a Glen?

A 1/4 share has come available in the super bitch Barnagrane Glenn

This puppy has only ran 4 times, winning 3, she recorded 28.05 at Monmore last week, with a greyhound data rating of 125.

Glenn is coming out of seasonal rest and will get better and better with age and fitness.

This bitch will be a serious contender in all the bitches events in 2016, class like this coming on the market

Is very rare thing these days. 

Glenn runs on Friday at Monmore, in the puppy

480 heats, worth £5,000

To the winner.

1/4 share available @

£3,000

First come first serve.

Veteran beats a veteran

Just the one winner today but it was a good one, Veteran just pips our other 'veteran' Cluxtons Free to win the A1

Lady of the Glen

Just the one winner on Saturday night at Monmore but what a winner!

Barnagrane Glan made it 2 from 3 with a stunning performance in A2 crossing the line nearly 7L in front with a clock of 28.05!...good things expected from this rapid daughter of Australian sire Oaks Road

Crackers x2

Two crackers to catch up on from yesterday, Blackstone Titan produced another strong running performance to win A3 and Inch Smaller did the same when winning A6

3...its a magic number

Musnt forget a terrific three timer at Monmore in Friday.

Move Over Tadgh's upward curve shows no sign of stopping have won A6,A5 and now A4 on the bounce!

Hurry Harrry got back in the groove with an 7 victory and finally the mercurial Flandy Megry won yet again in A3 class this time...well done team

Olive heads em'

Head Iton Olive made the giant leap from S2 winner to Open winner on Friday at on more, at the rewarding odds of 10/1 she shows a touch of class to win on a very slow track

Better than 50%

Cape Impact does it again at Romford last night.

His record for 2015 now reads 41 races, 21 wins and 11 seconds!

In other words he has finished first or second in 32 of his 41 races which is absolutely astonishing.

Richard Taylor

Richard 'Flandy' Taylor

I would just like to make a special mention of Richard Taylor.
Since buying Flandy Megry a couple of years back, his love of the sport has grown and greyhound racing is now a massive part of his life.
Richard has now got six dogs in training at West View and is one of the biggest owners in the kennel,
I would like to personally thank Richard once again for his loyal support of the kennel and we all wish him every success with his dogs.

Gliding High

The other two shares have been sold in High Glider after a promising debut last week, new owner to the kennel Richard Butler and loyal owner Richard Taylor both bought the final shares.

Weekend roundup

A relatively quiet weekend at Monmore though we hit the crossbar quite a few times.

Flandy Megry continued her great run of form with yet another win and on the same card Blackstone Titan did the business. On Saturday Cluxtons Free kept the Westview flag fying with a quality performance in A2 class winning by 3 in 28.45

Oli Oli Oli

Oliver Lawrence has added another greyhound to his team by snapping up Veteran.

Olly is probably our youngest owner in the kennel and has only been in the sport around 12 months, he clearly loves the dogs and has three now in training.

Winners from this weekend.

Glider

After watching high glider trial last night

Mick Lewis has bought a 1/3 share in this strapping Pat Dalton bred dog, at £1000 he looks a real bargain after his 28.81 trial last night.

2/3 shares left @ £333 per 1/3 share.

Patience is a virtue

A little house keeping....Friday Rough Mystery did us proud with a three timer, from A5 to now A1.
Noirs Allen, knocked out of the Henlow Derby made no mistake in A1 class in a fast 28.36 win.
Last night it wins for Move Over Tadhg, it's only taken 18 runs to notch his first first victory so we have been patient!.
Talking about patience, Head Iton Olive won on debut back in April but it took another 17 races to make it No2 last night with victory in S2....all very much appreciated nonetheless.

Bargain Candy

Monmore double

Two winners on Monday's BAGS card, Chateuneufdebob has finally come good at Monmore with an S3 win and should go in from here.

Another two winners in the bag this afternoon at Monmore, Rough Mystery went whoosh with a 7 1/2L win in A4 and then Head Iton Teecee comfortably wins the S1...dogs are flying!

Round Up

A few nice winners to catch up on.
Flandy Megry gets up to force a dead heat last Friday to make it two wins from her last three races in A4 class.
Live Escalade also takes an A4 race to record his first victory in the UK and should win plenty more now.
Dublinhill Magic who looked highly promising at the beginning of the year until injury forced him on the sidelines for over 6 months got back on the winning trail again with an A6 win and can continue his progress again.

Lacken Smokey having only his 2nd race rewarded favourite backers with a good win in A5 class last night at the Green and on the same card Puckane Lad did the business winning his A3 at the fourth attempt.

Over at Henlow its Derby time, we are represented by Noirs Allen who did us proud in the first round by qualifying in 3rd from a very tough heat, as the saying goes you've got to be in it to win it!

Nice duo

Proud Pegs Tina was upped in class to maiden Open and also upped in trip to 630m last night at Monmore but proved more than up to the task with a classy win.

Rough Mystery our Romford recruit got off the mark too last night at her 4th attempt with a good A5 victory

Cluxtons on the scoresheet

Great to see Cluxtons Free prove there is still plenty of fire in his belly with a gutsy A1 win last night at Monmore, just glad the distance is not 480.5m ;-)

OK T C

We had to wait for the last race for a winner yesterday but it was worth it, Head Iton Teecee wins on debut in A3 and at the rewarding odds of 8/1!

Back to the Green

After leaving Monmore Green 8 months ago, I will be returning to join the training ranks again in September.
The dream move to Towcester hasn't been a great one for me personally as i have lost too many owners and have not attracted any new ones.
I would like to thank Towcester for the effort they have put in there and i hope the track can go from strength to strength.
The move back to Monmore Green gives me an opportunity to attract some owners back into the kennel and at this point I would like to thank Richard Brankley and Tony Williamson for giving me the chance to return to the track I call home. After having 10 fantastic years training at Monmore I hope going forward I will have further successful years at the track.

Ciara does it

Pumpstreet Ciara gets her staying career off and running with a bloodless victory at Towcester tonight, more wins await

Another top Prospect

We have just completed negotiations on a brilliant young pup - who we feel will be ideal for the upcoming 10k to the winner Romford puppy cup

This pup has been competing at one of Irelands toughest and slowest tracks - Thurles - which is one of the biggest galloping tracks in racing.

It is rated .40 spots slower than the likes of Shelbourne, Tralee or limerick.

If you do a time there you will do it anywhere!

This pup has sublime early pace and clocked 28.92 - (-20 slow) in his latest race - he has a brilliant 28.72 on his card at Thurles - His 1/2 way was equal to derby class dogs.

The same night as this pup ran, the 10k to the winner Tipperary cup was on at Thurles - This stake contained major open class greyhounds - like Irish derby finalists (Emers superstar) 28.25 Shelbourne - 28.28 race winners Tralee - Curious boy etc and they could not match this pups winning time.

A lot of the leading trainers in Ireland were trying to buy this pup (They had dogs racing the same night at Thurles in the Tipperary cup) - we however have landed him here for westview kennels.

He can be purchased for a very reasonable 4 figure sum - and with his early pace will go straight  for the 10k Romford puppy cup which 

starts 14th September....... for more details please phone Chris direct on - 07885 632329

Crisp is too sharp!

That didnt take long!, Coolavanny Crisp wins the first race on a cracking card at Towcester tonight

Monmore this aftee'

The two Veterans Cluxtons Free and Cape Impact both won their heats of the 416 competition at Monmore this afternoon, Cape continues his incredible win talley and Cluxtons after threatening him with retirement a few weeks, he has suddenly took off again and both have booked there places in Friday final. (T2&T6)
Sadly European Queen, Kippers Usain and Noirs Allen all were eliminated after slow starts and trouble in running.

Weekend Round Up

Our weekend round up reveals four winners.
Friday at Towcester saw Holdem Apache record his 5th win with a 40.38 victory in S2, Proud Eds Hunter is flourishing after a second win in only 3 starts, she starts and stays which is the perfect combination and will win plenty more.
Also on Friday at Perry Barr, Express Foster advertised his claims as a possible stayer in the making when taking up the running at the 4th bend to win the 480m Open in stylish fashion and at rewarding odds of 8/1.
Saturday at Towcester and Coolavanny Crisp showed everyone what he's made of with a super stylish win, it was his first victory after eight starts in A4, winning an Open at Nottingham with him is one thing but A4 at Towcester seems to be another...onwards and upwards.

On a big downer tonight

The smash on the M25 last Friday
Which made us late by 5 minutes
For Lacken Jacksie to race at Romford, has turned out now a even bigger disaster, after a nightmare
5 hour journey, we were minutes
Late in kenneling the dog, as a Gbgb rule, you have to kennel 45 minutes prior to the race.
If we have been a few minutes earlier 
Last week at Romford, i would have no doubt, that he would of been running there in the final tonight
And not at Perry Barr, where sadly
He broke his leg when clear of the field.
I rated Lacken Jacksie as good as the past champion sprinters we have had
And its a real shame for connections
That his career has been cut short.
Greyhound racing at times can be heartbreaking. 

Tina coming over

West View have just snapped up Proud Pegs Tina, she will be on the way over this week.

This is the final pup out the litter, and was the last one to be schooled, as a season put her back.

She clocked a very smart 29.10 this morning at Waterford.

She will be joining her sisters Proud Charm and very promising Proud Eds Hunter, both all ready winners at Towcester.

So call for details if interested in this young November bitch pup.

Going going

Paul Blake owner of Mattbeth has dived in and took a 1/4 share in new pup Live Escalade

Escalade

Peter Symonds is interested in taking a 1/4 share (£800) in the very cheap pup Live Escalade 

Anyone else want a share in this smashing early pace dog.

Another Special One

We have just been given a chance to train a live puppy prospect.

LIVE ESCALADE price £3200

This young pup is by leading sire 'Vans escalade'- who has produced leading dogs like 2014 Yarmouth derby winner 'Swift Keith' and 2014 Ladbrokes gold cup winner 'Viking Jack'

This pup in his latest race showed tremendous early pace and was never headed (watch race on IGB video)and was hugely impressive when winning in a top class time of 29.16 at Clonmel - which is one of Irelands toughest tracks. Rated .30 spoit slower than the likes of Limerick or Shelbourne Park.

The following nights racing - was the start of One of Irelands category one events the £30,000 to winner 2 year old Produce stakes.

some of the heats of this competition were only won in the same time as this pup the likes of 'Amazing dude' - (29.16) - Cunning barney - 29.26 - etc dogs money could not buy.

This pup qualified to race in a very fast 29.80 for the 525 yards - qualifying time in Ireland is 30.70.

His form lines read  

                     ***1st in 29.80 525 yards Clonmel

                     ***1st in 16.79 300 yards Clonmel (qualifying trials)

                     ***1st in 29.16 525 yards Clonmel (latest race)

This pup in his only other race was badly interfered with when well in control. with his early pace we feel this pup will be ideal for the likes of the Romford puppy cup  in Sept (£8,000) to the winner and the likes of the Nottingham puppy classic in August. 

The prices we have been quoted lately for dogs in Ireland are very excessive to say the least, for example a pup won last night in shelbourne park (27th May) in 29.05 and we were asked £12,000! we were also asked £14,000 for a sprint winner in Drumbo Park - (names can be supplied on request)

This pup we have been offered will only cost a fraction of that. wont even cost a quarter of them prices. we have also achieved a 25% reduction in the advertised price on greyhound data

For more details on this exciting young pup who will win plenty of opens please tel me direct on 07885 632329'

He can be bought in partnership or bought outright - and comes with a full veterinary certificate.

Its all White

Maurice White a member of the European racing club has gone one further and took the final share in Barnagrane Glenn.

Good luck Maurice

The Romford Three!

Our incredible run of Open race form shows no sign of slowing down, we had three winners at Romford last night, Lacken Jacksie blitzed the sprint to make it 5 wins from 9 races in the UK, Cluxtons Free recorded his first win since November when taking his heat of the Lemon Plutos Seniors Trophy (Cape Impact qualifies for the final in third) then European Queen made it three on the bounce over 575m at Romford when proving way too classy for her rivals...well done team!

Going going!

One share left in Barnagrane Glen

John Chesterton, Dave Partridge and David Torjussen have all bought shares in the new super bitch.

Good luck lads and thanks for your support.

Kippers

Roly popped down on Sunday to walk his dogs

So we took the opportunity to snap him with his dog the Arc Champ Kippers Usain 

Sensational Arrival!!

As promised - we have just secured terms on a precocious young 15 months old pup - who has become the fastest and youngest winner in Ireland this year. BARNAGRANE GLEN

As breeding has declined in Ireland - the special young pups emerging have become scarcer and when they do they are being snapped up by leading owners and trainers in Ireland and here in the UK.

Last Sat night we acted very quickly when news began to filter through to various camps about this special young lady.

This young baby seems to have it all - Early pace & staying power as well as sensational breeding.

by champion Australian greyhound - 'Oaks road' - who won the Famous Topgun & Perth cup - he has had very few runners in Ireland yet but he has already produced the likes of

'Jumeriah Mikey'- 28.34 Shelbourne & 28.54 at Clonmel - in the £25,0000 Produce stakes.

This precocious young pups dam is also top draw - 'Glenbowen trix' is by 'loyal Honcho' who of course won the English derby.

Her dam line is the exact same as the legendary - 'Premier Fantasy' - one of the fastest greyhounds the game has ever seen.

On Saturday night this pup despite very little schooling (due to her young age) made what can only be described as a sensational racing debut.

Racing against much older opposition who had also ran races - she simply was in a different league to them.

Exploding from traps - with a flying 3.36 sectional she made the 1st bend 4 lengths in front 

Down the back stretch she was simply supreme as she left her opponents trailing behind with her devastating pace - Racegoers quickly realised they were watching a special talent.

Increasing her lead all the way to the line - she won by a massive 11 lengths in a majestic time of 28.60 - which was easily the fastest time of the night.

Please note - this young pup is young enough to run in puppy opens until next Jan 2016 - she will be aimed at all the major puppy open competitions including the likes of the Romford Puppy cup in September

and ultimately The £15,000 to the winner English oaks which is a classic competition.

She has passed a leading veterinary examination in Ireland and will be joining us here at westview Kennels at the weekend. 

interested parties can TEL phone me direct on 07885 632329 - she can be syndicated or bought outright.

The above quickly shows why we acted so quickly in purchasing her for us at Westview kennels.

Dos Amigos!

Another two Open wins tonight at Nottingham, the totes amazeballs Cape Impact blows them away with a 3 1/2L victory then Coolavanny Crisp survives a scrappy heat to win his maiden sprint Open

Star on way

I will be announcing shortly a real superstar the which will be coming to West View

Our run continues, this time at Wimbledon for the Derby trial stakes, Noirs Allen was one to keep on your side I said....less than a week later he wins at 4/1 in 28.43 and books his place for the big un.
Kippers Usain our Arc winner adds to Roly Woodcock's pension pot with another trap to line win at 9/2 in 28.45 and also heads to Wimbledon and a chance to trouser £250,000

Flying!

We cant do anymore!!!

Another double tonight at Romford 

Thats 8 open winners out of our last 11 open race runners, with only 6 open race dogs in the kennel at present, the dogs are running out of their skin.

Also all 5 graders at Towcester ran tremendous last night having one winner, two 2nds a 3rd and a 4th.

Romford bullets ready to fire

Two corkers running for us at Romford tonight, the improving sprinter Lacken Jacksie and impressive 575m winner European Queen, both have excellent chances.

Notts Duo

Cape Impact recorded his 32nd win when winning a sprint Open at Nottingham this week!
He only needs 3 more runs to reach the fabled 100 races mark for an astonishing career.
Also at Nottingham Noirs Allen finally got off the mark after some extraordinary unlucky runs. He has has gears and will come on a ton for that win and is well worth keeping on your side.

One and a half!

A quiet weekend by recent standards but today saw 1 1/2 winners at Towcester, Inch Smaller had to the share the spoils with Forest Chieftain with a dead heat but Tiernans Choice is out of his skin right now and once again proved it with yet another win...where is his early pace coming from lol

Great win for Queen tonight at Romford, stepped up to 6 bends for a maiden Open she won as she liked and options have suddenly opened up to her for the rest of the year for sure

Calne Racing Arc - Swindon 480m (£8,000)

Calne Racing Arc - Swindon 480m (£8,000)

 

Usain Bolts To Arc Victory

 

Kippers Usain is crowned the 2015 Calne Racing Arc champion after a dazzling display of early-pace that his rivals just could not match to the delight of his owner Roly Woodcock and trainer Chris Allsopp. 

 

He gave a display of his devastating early-pace in the first-round recording a mind boggling 2.32 split. He was 1L slower in the final stopping the sectional clock at 2.40 but that was good enough to see him turn in front. Evanta Evita gave chase but even a bitch of her quality never looked like reeling in this former top Irish tracker. Kippers Usain crossed the line 1.5L in front of Evanta Evita with a fast finishing Bubbly Gold a further 0.75L back to take third in 28.60 +10.

 

This was some performance by Kippers Usain but also by his trainer Chris Allsopp. The dog and the trainer will rightly grab the plaudits but it's worth mentioning his owner Roly Woodcock. There are not too many people who will stump up the cash to by an older greyhound with plenty of miles on the clock. This is not the first time he's done it and got huge success Ballycowen Dave (Kent Derby), Exocet (Kent Derby, Sussex Cup and Night Of Stars) and now Kippers Usain (Arc). All three greyhounds had plenty of experience and perhaps the doubters would be thinking their best days had been and gone. Roly Woodcock is such a positive man his love for the sport shines through in abundance and he's got his own recipe for success that is paying big dividends. I don't know about you but I'd not mind knowing who he's thinking of buying next. 

 

Roly Woodcock Owner Of Kippers Usain

 

'Swindon is my local track and this was our Derby. He gave us all hope when put in a great performance in the first-round producing that blistering sectional of 2.32. To come out tonight and lead this top quality field up and win the Arc is amazing. I keep getting stick for saying I'm 'over the moon' so let's not say that but it really is such an amazing feeling. I might buy the dogs but all the credit must go to Chris Allsopp he did it with Ballycowen Dave, Exocet and now he's done it with Kippers Usain. The man is a genius what more can I say he just produces miracles and he gets the very best out of the dogs. We now head to the Derby and have a go, why not he owes us nothing and in this kind of form you never know what might happen. I'd like to thank everyone at Swindon and in particular Calne Racing for the amazing sponsorship but most of all I'd like to thank my wonderful trainer Chris Allsopp'.

 

Keep on punching

Great result for the kennel and Roly, another group one winner with a cheap old dog.

With only 5 open race dogs in the kennel these days,due to being not a fashionable kennel anymore, its a great achievement winning a big race again.

Would like to Steve, Martyn and New kennel hand Paul, for there hard work, and Roly for buying Kippers for us.

Done up like a kipper

We did it, the dog did it, the owner did it!

Kippers Usain bolted out again and led then all a merry dance in the Arc.

Owner Roly Woodcock is yet again rewarded with his faith and loyalty with this massive win

Swindon Arc Final Night Tonight

3 runners tonight on Sky from Swindon, European Queen kicks off in the 7.11 from T6, Domino Storm looks to have the strongest chance but we go there in top form and the big galloping track should suit her.

Lacken Jacksie runs in the next race and once again we bump into a real speedster in Target Harris, Jacksie is on an upward curve however and is not to be underestimated.

Finally in the big race at 9.08pm we have Kippers Usain going for us, Roly Woodcock will be praying for that smash break Kipper showed in the first round, if he does time it right im confident he will outrun his starting price...best of luck to all runners, should be a cracking night win lose or draw.

RGT
