Worth The Wait---Part 2

In only his second ever race, in the semi-finals Heat 2 of The Woodsgift Magic Open Novice 525yds Stake at Thurles on Saturday evening, NAMETAB KIWI, once again won his heat in 29.71, on a track that was generally thought to be -30 slow. He was from an unfavourable Trap draw, being Trap 1, as he moved off to middle from that Trap, but the Books still had him at 1/2 f. He had to show enormous courage to shake off the challenge of Active Woods from Trap 6, and he soon opened up a lead coming off the second bend, and continued to run on strongly to the line, beating his rivals by 4 lengths. He is now in the Final of the Stake next Saturday, 4th November, from Trap 2.

Worth The Wait

It was well worth the wait with our Puppy NAMETAB KIWI, running in his first race, an unraced stake at Thurles last night. He opened at evens, and was soon 4/6, prohibited odds, but I had to lump on him, as we knew what he could do. He subsequently won his heat by 13 lengths!!!!!!!! in a time of 29.53, which was the fastest time of the 3 heats. He is in Trap 1 on Saturday, which isnt favourable, as he moves off, but he has trapped faster from that trap, in his trials.

Washed Out

With all hopes high for a good run from NAMETAB KIWI, the meeting was abandoned before the first race could be run at Thurles, due to the malfunction of the Hare. This was because of the incessant rain for the past 3-4 hours. The Greyhounds were in the Traps for the first race, when the Hare malfunctioned behind the starting Traps.The Stewards had no alternative but to re-arrange the meeting for next Tuesday 24th October.

Puppys First Run

Its been a long wait, but my puppy NAMETAB KIWI is finally ready for his first race at Thurles on Saturday night. This is an unraced Novice Stake, but he has been showing such good pace during his trials, the trainer, Liam McCormack, thinks a lot of him, and so he must take his debut chance in an Open Race.

Bred by John Moyles of Nenagh, I purchased him in January 2006, without even seeing him. Reared from Nov 2005 by Martin Tucker in Roscommon, who also thought this dog could be a bit special. We shall see on Saturday night.
