Monday Double

A nice grading double this afternoon with Tomas Black winning the A3 in 28.77 and Centaur Bliss 28.93 winning the A6 in 28.93.
Another three staff profiles have been completed yesterday and we would welcome any feedback.

Dan's the Man

Bookem Danno proved he was the man again last night when he recorded back to back win Open Race wins at Coventry. Quickly away again he went on to win in 39.65 (+25). Vancouver Dylan was beaten in last stride of the race in 29.55, after suffering early crowding he ran on very strong.

In the Spotlight

All the full time staff were put under the spotlight by our webmaster this morning as we all had to answer a number of questions for the staff profile pages of the website. The staff pages have been very busy since we launched the site so we have tried to expand these pages. Three of the pages have now been refreshed (my own, Dave Pedley and Steve Masters). The questions created some great banter between the team and no doubt the owners will be giving us some stick when you see us. The pages for Paul Anderson and Matthew Webb will be posted in the next couple of days so please keep checking the team pages.

Time for quick one

Scotties Eric was our only winner yesterday as he recorded his 10th career win. A fast break won him the day yesterday as he won in 29.20.

Just the Trick

Borna Trick confirmed our thoughts she is ready for a return to the Open Race scene with a 3 3/4 length win in A3 last night at Monmore in 29.14. With back to back wins on her card she will now run at Nottingham on Monday. Tyanas Boy made is 2 wins from 3 starts when putting in a classy performance in the A2. After showing some early pace he was not put off after getting tangled up in traffic problems on the first corner. He ran on very strong to win in 28.87.

Nottingham Review

Luck was just not on our side on Monday as we had to travel back down the M42 from Nottingham with two second places. Head iton Tyler showed some real pace around the bends only to switch inside Drink Up Zorro on the run to the line. The switch must have cost him a length and he just failed to get up, going down by a head.Tyler should give his new owner a great deal of fun in 2009. Head iton Paddy was returning from a two month lay off and showed us he will be very much a force again in 2009 and he lost out by under a length. The run would have done him the world of good.

Busy Days

Plenty of Open Race runners over the next few days. On Sunday we are taking Vancouver Dylan, Bourne Breezy(pictured), Bookem Danno, Head iton Paddy and Ballymac Bound all to Coventry. Monday will see us at Nottingham with Head iton Tongue, Borna Trick and Head iton Tyler. Tuesday it will be the long drive to Wimbledon to take Cabra Fly who runs on the under card of the Racing Post Juvenile.
