Ace storms to Riband Final

Ballymac Ace finished second in the Stan James Blue Riband Semi Final to progress to next weeks category one Final, live on Sky. With only Jogadusc Ace pinging from traps the rest of the field had to battle hard to make the corner. Ace stuck to his task well to deny Fear Zafonic second place. I am really pleased for loyal owner Ted Megaw. Bosscroker ran his heart out in the other Semi Final but could only finish 4th. The Mark Glastonbury owned Droopys Edgar ran a stormer to take Heat 1 of the Stan James Geoff DeMulder Memorial Stakes to win in 28.31.

Thompson steps in

Gary Thompson is the new owner of Molljoise after agreeing a deal with me this morning. Good luck to him with his new recruit.

Officer Denied

Officer Donagh was denied his first win of 2010 when he finished a brave second behind the smart Corby Glen in the Betfred Sprint Final at Nottingham last night. Cohen Silver was a little better than the finishing position of third after suffering traffic problems on the first bend.

Sale Update

The easter sale brought new owner Daniel Smelt "aka Clipboard" in to the kennel as he purchased Yasmins Joy. Mick Giles stepped in to take the very promising Mallogs Toby. Good Luck to both set of connections. I will be posting Aprils "Trainers" Special and one other dog tomorrow evening. Please ensure you check back on the site at regular intervals.

Vampire Strikes

Prodigy Vampire ran out an impressive six length winner this afternoon when taking the A3 in 28.78. This was her third career success for us. Fatboyz Rocky was another easy winner when taking the other A3 in 28.98. This lad has plenty of early toe and should continue to win many races. Swift Tinto took the closing race on the card, an A1, when staying on very strongly to win in 28.87. A return to open racing beckons for this kennel star.

Officer hoping to be King

Officer Donagh will be bidding to end his losing run this evening at Nottingham. After a wonderful year in 2009 it has taken him a while to find his feet this year. Tonight he goes from trap 5 in the Sprint Trophy. Also running is Cohen Silver who runs in the first open race of the night.

Long odds for Riband

Stan James have given our two contenders for the Blue Riband very little chance at all in tomorrow nights Semi Finals. Bosscroker is quoted at 25/1 for his Semi Final whilst Ballymac Ace is 16/1.
