Potatoes for tea

I'm pleased to report Mashed Potatoes our star bitch who landed last years Ladbrokes Puppy Festival competition at Monmore has had her first hand slip and looks to have came off sound. We will be taking it nice and slow with her. Fingers crossed.

Virus is a real strain

Can I ask for all owners to be patient as the kennels are being effected by a virus strain which is the worst I have ever known in my training career. I am doing everything I can to get to the bottom of the problem. The virus is air born which does effect how the dogs run rather than how they are at the kennels. Most are running very flat. I appreciate your patience at this difficult time.

Back from Ireland

I have returned from a tough week in Clonmel, survival is not easy ! The lads have been working hard in my absence and the dogs look to be getting over their sickness. We should start trialing at Doncaster very soon, ahead of the Trainers
Championship.

Coventry Progress

The prospects to see a return of greyhound racing to Coventry, looks to be moving in right direction after reading the Racing Post. Former Reading boss Martyn Dore this week concluded a lease deal with stadium owner Avtar Sandhu. Lets all keep our fingers crossed.

Patriot Games

Swift Patriot, one of our dogs to follow, landed this afternoons A3 in 29.20. Struggling to get a clear run in the early stages of the race but very on very strong to win his second race since joining us.

Voyage is super stayer

Fabulous Voyage took the Stadium Bookmakers Superstayers over 730 metres at Nottingham last night. Slowly away from traps in was just a case of picking the opposition up one by one and then going on to win by 7 1/4 lengths in 47.50.
