New recruits impress in Coventry trials

Dave Yanez caught at couple of our latest recruits at Coventry. Creamery Empire and Incitatus both showed us they will be more nice recruits for the kennel.

Incitatus, owned by myself currently, is a new dog being aimed at the TV trophy and went very well in the trial clocking 29.42 off a poor 5.61 split. 

Creamery Empire, owned by Howard Jenkinson,  is an A1 Youghal that just went round in 29.61 off a 5.72 split. 

Pups Trial News

Strategic Review returned to track action this morning after his layoff. 28.33 was a great run considering the amount of work he has had put into him so far. 

Rathanny Ruth, our Puppy Oaks winner, recorded a workmanlike 28.61 after coming away from traps slowly.

Finally Express Master posted a scintinating 28.18 beating the smart Borna Hiker four lengths.

The plan in to enter them all in the 480 Puppy competition starting at Monmore on Monday.

Master Class in Monmore trials

Keith Warner's Express Master simply flew around Monmore yesterday in his first 480 metre trial at Monmore since arriving in England. 

The son of Kiowa Sweet Trey x Express Mist stopped the clock in a sensational 28.22 and winning the trial by 11 lengths. This lad looks like a top class prospect. We will be keeping everything crossed he can stay injury free and give Keith many great nights out.

Stars of future shine at Trials

A number of our new recruits put in some pleasing runs in today's trials session at Monmore today.

Firstly I'd like to welcome Keith Warner to the kennel who is proud owner of Express Master who recorded a very good 15.69.

Loyal owners Roly Woodcock had some good news as his Felix Dahousecat looked classy recording 15.61.  Whilst Express Giant owned by Mick Giles, Will Adamson and Chris Cooper set the tongues wagging when posting 15.43.

Five Alley Queen looks to be a nice stayer in the making when posting 28.77. The October 2011 bitch could well be a real bargain at £3,000.

Paul Oliver was quickest out of the traps to but a 1/3 share in Irish super pup Laoises First. This leaves two shares remaining at £5,000 in this special puppy.

Gold Cup Trials

Ballymac Ace recorded an impressive 15.25 in his sprint work out at Monmore ahead of the Ladbrokes Gold Cup. Other trials to note was Bandicoot Fionn 28.51, Express Shuttle 28.59, Fifis Whitesox 28.28, Millridge Sonic 28.99 and Fred Champ 28.47.

Trainers Championship Trial Times

Today trial times for Wimbledon were as follows :- Borna Jessica 28.90, Head Iton Jason 29.05, Brittons Empire 28.85, Westmead Grant 29.04, Ballyneale Bull 29.46 and Ten Dollars More 29.04. I will post the Trainers Championship team shortly.

Slim on song

The Anthony Cameron owned Fatboyz Slim (pictured) continued his build up towards his UK debut yesterday at Monmore. Slim won his trial by 9 1/2 lengths in 28.93, very impressive for a marathon dog. Hopefully Anthony's patience will be rewarded as we have taken our time with this dog to get him 100% settled.

Ace to miss Trainers Championship

Ballymac Ace will miss the 2011 running of the Trainers Championship after only recording 29.19 on normal going at Wimbledon this morning. We hope to get to the bottom of the problem quickly. All the other trialists went very well - Borna Jessica 28.75, Uncle Rico 28.95, Brittons Empire and Fifi's Rocket 16.12.

Off to the Don

Five of the our open race team head to Wimbledon in morning for a work out hoping to impress as I get nearer to selecting the final Trainers Championship team. Tomorrow it will be Ballymac Ace, Brittons Empire, Uncle Rico, Borna Jessica and Fifis Rocket.

Slim steps out

Fatboyz Slim recorded a pleasing 15.99 in a sprint trial at Monmore this morning. That's a great first effort for a marathon dog. Westmead Grant also caught the eye with a 27.77 run in very strange going.

The Dude is back

Derrynaflan Dude (pictured) proved he was ready to return to the open race scene after impressing in a workout at Monmore this morning. He simply flew round in 15.68 (-10). Bitch for sale, Galtee Kaz completed her grading in when staying on strongly in win her trial in 29.86 and will now start racing.

Monmore Trial Update (18/1/2011)

We had loads of nice dogs heading to Monmore this morning for trials. I can't mention them all however I'll highlight a few I know the blog followers are keen to know about. Townspark Eric has his first four bend run for two months since arriving and recorded 28.79. I expect him to come on a stack aswell from this run. I gave Ten Dollars More a sprint and he was very keen and did 15.56. Borna Claw who has had a few niggles since joining us, pleased connections with a 28.89 run in his first four bend run for us. Westmead Badger did a 29.20 and I'll be placing him on the sale page very soon.  A few of the pups got caught up in trouble in their trials, Galtee Kaz still qualified in 30.16 depsite trouble, Galtee Adams did 29.74 with big trouble whilst Walkaway Tyson improved again in 29.20. Finally I had a bitch called Westview Miracle who did a 29.65 which was her first four bend trial of her life. This bitch will be for sale shortly.

Trial Highlights

Galtee Adams set the tongues wagging at Monmore yesterday with 29.38 run over 480 metres.
