A Joyous time

After bolting in by 5L last time in A5, Joy for Roy was upped two grades to A3 on Thursday but it made no difference to the result as she led high wide and handsome throughout to win on -.80 going at the Christmas odds of 8/1...safe to say Roy is on top of her game as we go into 2017.
Also on the same card Space Flyer grabbed another A3, despite early crowding they other could not withstand his big finish and he prevailed by 1 1/4L in 28.72

Christmas Cheering

Lots going on in the past few days but mustn't forget to give a mention to Auckland Blue at the Green on Friday, it was a little overdue stepping up to six bends but it worked out fine with a debut victory in S3, more than capable of holding his own in higher grade too.

On today's Boxing Day matinee card we had two winners, Proud Mel who is almost never out of the first three recorded another fine win in A3.

Vigorous Debbie was our other winner, she won A3 a couple of weeks ago and then today led all the way in S1 in 39.04

Round upski

It must be Sunday as its round up time!
Friday saw the kennel record a nice BAGS treble.
First out of the blocks was Fionntra Chris in S3, to say this win was overdue is an understatement as it was back on 18th June he last got his head in front.
In the very next race Standbye Athena made it career win number fourteen, dropped in grade to A6 she needed no second invitation to do the business when winning by 1/4L in 29.23.
Finally on Friday, Peytons Boy made favourite backers jolly when striding on to win the A8 in 29.42 at odds of 7/4
Saturday was not quite as productive but we still got two good winners over the line when Afan Jack doubled his win ratio with a comfortable first in A6 in 29.16 on very slow going (-.70)
Finally Roys Boy proved he can still bring home the bacon in top grade A1 with a very stylish win by 4L in a rapid 28.34

Four!

4 nice winners this weekend to log.
Friday we had Sun Visor go in by a head in A2 class and clocking 28.69.
A treble was recorded on Saturday's evening card at Monmore kicking off with Snooty Lass in A3, she had to share the spoils however after the judged declared a dead heat!
Vigorous Debbie was next, again in A3 she didn't make us sweat this time, running out a comfortable winner by over 3L in 28.69.
Finally Proud Mel made no mistake in A4 grade, this game sister to our own Lemon Man stopped the clock in 29.02

Chamberlain Zara

Chamerlain Zara arrived at Westview only yesterday 

Call asap if you don't want too miss out on this stunning blue bitch.

Welcome Joe

I would just like to welcome back Joe McKenna to our team at West View, Joe has previously worked for me for many years and was part of the team when i became champion trainer back in 2011, Joe gives us great experience and will help the other members of the team (head lads) Martyn Prince and Paul Halpin.

We had also added another member of staff Mick Collins who will help out with the driving.

As you can see i am getting together a great team of staff again, so i can cater for open race and graded runners up and down the country for the upcoming year.

Stop Press

This morning we just received a fabulous young pup at Westview Kennels - This pup is Only a September 2015 whelp.

She is undoubtedly classically bred - by the leading stud dog in the UK or Ireland for a number of years - 'Droopys Scolari'

Scolari has produced countless of category one event class greyhounds. Dam - 'Blue Aero' - is by another legend 'Westmead Hawk'

She has already produced 28.97 dogs at Clonmel in her 1st litter.

This pup has had only 2 trials on her card to date and to say they were impressive is an understatement.

Running at Clonmel (one of the toughest tracks in Ireland) on frosty winter conditions which led to the track not running fast, this pup won her 2 starts by over 20 lengths!

In her sprint run she catapulted from traps - and won by 12 lengths in 16.60 - ( the dog she beat 12 lengths came out and recorded 16.89 in his next run) (sonic safari)

In her very 1st 525 yards off her life she once again showed some serious early and won by 11 lengths in a time of 29.50.

This was a fabulous run for one so young (qualifying time is 30.70)

We made enquiries for her straightaway after this and we saw her in her next run in which she clocked - 29.37 - once again the track wasn't fast as it was run in frosty overnight conditions -

All this young lady do is improve leaps and bounds from this - This pup quite simply could be anything - very few her age record the times she has done already - only the real top class acts.

We have secured her for what we belief is a very low modest 4 figure sum - she will be campaigned in puppy races until late next year.

Prospective owners are welcome to come to the kennels and view this young pup and to discuss her with me further.

Lemon is the Man

Think its pretty safe to say that Lemon Man is the top dog at Monmore right now. Last night he recorded his 4th win on the bounce and has now reeled off A2, A1, OR, A1 and from traps 1-2-3!

2 Down!

So much for 3 meetings tonight, Monmore and Henlow have cancelled just as the dogs arrived at the tracks.
I'm on my way currently to Belle Vue, fingers crossed it goes ahead
