2010 Ten to Follow Revealed

I am pleased to inform you my ten to follow for 2010 is now live in the team section of the website. I've tried be as open minded as possible in the selections and give all the regular readers a few to follow in the year ahead, please don't be offended if your dog or bitch was not chosen on this occasion, I could have selected many more. We will be trying to pick out a few more to focus on as the year develops.

Lollie takes National Sprint

Jimmy Lollie denied Officer Donagh (2nd) and Centaur Allstar (4th) the National Sprint when he out trapped the field and forced himself clear to take the title in 17.67. Congratulations to his trainer Seamus Cahill and connections. Ballymac Rumble led from the traps to the shadow of line in the Puppy Final only to be denied by the highly rated Droopys Joe in 30.00.

Monmore Treble

A fantastic afternoon of graded action was the course of the day at Monmore with us heading home with three winners. Galtee Seb landed the S2 in 38.44, Recondite the A1 in 28.81 and Banna Boy the A4 in 29.06.

Mashed Potatoes Update

Mashed Potatoes who we trained to win the Ladbrokes Puppy Final and three wins in a row before suffering a fractured hock is recovering very well from her injury. She is the fastest bitch ever to go round Monmore so it would be amazing if she could come back as good as ever. She has now been on the walking machine for six weeks and is on target to have a sprint trial in February.

Don't forget Rumble

Ballymac Rumble (pictured) is also in action tonight at Nottingham when he takes on the highly rated Droopys Joe in the Stadium Bookmakers Puppy Trophy Final. We will post tonight's results as soon as we have them.

A42 to National Sprint Final

I can report both Centaur Allstar and Officer Donagh both in great form ahead of tonights National Sprint Final at Nottingham. It is a race of the highest quality and all we can hope for now is the dogs come away from traps quickly and show their true form. Both dogs are rated as outsiders by the Racing Post.
