Owners Xmas Party

A quick reminder that its Owners Day Christmas Party this Sunday at 9.30am at kennels

What an end to the year!

We notched a terrific four timer last night at the Green. Coolbegan Taffy got the ball rolling in the first race, after a highly promising debut, the black son of Monmore 480m track record breaker Ballymac Eske made no mistake at the second time of asking winning by 2L in 29.52.
Fernisky Dusky completed a magnificent treble winning A5, A3 and now A2, taking it all in his stride to win each race with the minimum of fuss too...Dusky is going places for sure.
Dance Layla continues her improvement, after adjusting to A5 she too found her feet last night and won well in 29.08.
It was not hard to fancy La Hacha in the Owners Bonus Series Final (pictured) and once he got his head in front he fairly ran away with the event, eventually winning by 6 1/4L in 29.11.

La Hacha



















I would just like to thank all the staff for their hard work which they put into all the dogs. The kennel had a staggering 44 winners in November and we are ending the year in some style!!

Chicken Dinners all round

We have a few winners to catch up on.
On Wednesday we saw Dance Vogue show great determination to defy the double upgrade and get back up on the line to win A5 class in 29.17. On the same card Manilla Slippy easily recorded a double (like Dance Vogue) in the 4 dog A6 by 4L in 29.06.
We bagged another double on Thursday courtesy of La Estrella and La Hacha.
Estrella was too good for A8 when keeping a wide path and taking it up off the third to run out a cos 29.40 winner.
La Hacha made it 2 from 2 when winning by the minimum margin in his heat of the A7 Owners Bonus Series and has every chance of making it 3 from 3 next time out in the final.

It was a treble winner day on Fridays afternoon BAGS card mostly in driving snow!
First up was Fernisky Dusky, the son of Zero Ten is rapidly improving, impressive  last week in A5 he was even more so here in A3, eventually winning by 4 3/4L in 28.64...loads more to come.
Cee Jay Kickham, an 8/1 winner on debut in A6 back in October, took the A3 in good style despite early crowding, clocking 28.98.
Our third winner on the card came in the shape of Head Iton Vikki, stepping back up to six bends the daughter of Droopys Jet fairly routed the opposition when winning by 5 1/4L, this despite not leading until bend 6!.

Five Alive

A fantastic five winners at Monmore this afternoon.
In order of appearance, La Rosa made it career win number three from just twelve starts when powering through to win A8 as she liked in 29.64.
Smokestack Levi was next up to the plate, the black son of Vans Escalade led all the way in S2 class for a 5 1/4L romp in 38.76.
Slaneyside Goldi pretty much did everything wrong on her debut but she is clearly a quick learner as despite upped in grade to A6, she was foot perfect in despatching the opposition with the minimum of fuss in 29.31.
Delightful Song has had a couple of sighters at Monmore in A7 after arriving from Peterborough. The drop to A8 was greatfully taken as he avoided carnage at the first corner to win as he liked by over 12L in 29.52
Last but not least we had Chamberlain Zara victorious in S1, the super consistent bitch won by nearly 2L in 38.64

That Friday feeling

It's F..F..F.. Friday and round out time as we start the weekend off.
Wednesday we saw a tasty double courtesy of good old Jaffer, he kept a wide course as usual and ran out a comfortable 1L winner in 28.66 A2.
Slaneyside Angel made it three wins from only nine races when routing them by 3L in 29.30. The daughter of Razldazl George is progressing nicely from A10 to now A6.
Today the kennel recorded a treble on this afternoons BAGS card.
First up was Dance Vogue, after an inauspicious debut where she was KO'd, the daughter of Ballymac Vic made amends at the third time of asking when winning A7 by 1 3/4L in 29.20
Coolagown Blush is becoming a force to be reckoned with now over the 630m as she has now won three out of her last four races, two weeks ago an Open and today the S1 in 38.78.
Last but not least was debutante La Hacha. He kicked off his career in A8 and it proved no problem as he soon led to win easily by 4 1/4L in 29.34, plenty more to come from the son of Farloe Blitz i'm sure.

Double Double

A nice double today from two greyhounds who were both notching a double also.
Copper Maverick won last week in A5 and did the business in A4 this time, the winning distance of 3 1/2L was no fluke as the son of Paradise Madison had to shrug off early crowding before stretching away in 28.82.
Gunga Din got in even more trouble when missing the kick and being crowded but it shows that he too is improving quickly with a 3L success in A7 in 28.20.

Flying without wings!

Ok people its round up time. We kicked off the week in fantastic style on Monday with an incredible 5-timer!
After getting injured back in June, the super classy Roys Boy was on the comeback trail and it was only a matter of time in A4 as he was A1. 6/4 said today was the day and so it proved as the son of Droopys Scolari made no mistake by winning in 28.96.
Next on the rostrum was the Belle Vue recruit Copper Maverick, one troubled sighter in A5 was all the nippy Paradise Madison fella needed to find his feet..and how..28.88, Bosh!

Next up was Lahana Ace, only out of the first three once in nine races to date, upped to A5 without winning then upped to A4 without winning too, some say that is harsh but it didn't stop the son of Ace Hi Rumble scoring by 3 3/4L in 29.05!
The kennel reeled off the next two races on the card courtesy of Cee Jay Kickham and Gunga Din.
CJ appreciated the drop to A5 when staying out wide to win by a head in 28.96. Gunga Din recorded her first Monmore win since arriving from Peterborough when proving too strong for A8 class for a 29.44 gold.

Two more winners followed on Wednesday's BAGS card in the shape of Manilla Slippy and the evergreen Standbye Athena.
After losing his way from a debut A4, Manilla Slippy had 'slipped' to A8 and came second, clearly the grader has mystical powers as he was put up a grade for his troubles but duly obliged in A7 to record a P.B of 29.43.
Athena, a recent edition to the '100 club' showed she is no back number when ripping up an A7 in a new recent P.B of 29.07!


To say the squad is flying is an understatement....go team West View!
