Pebbles was having her second race for us in the space of 4 weeks. We thought she might just stay, so she was entered in a 600 A6 stake. Drawn in Trap 3, we were into unknown territory. Pebbles, amazed us all !!!! She was slowly away, and was in a close up 4th place aproaching the first bend. She moved to the rail, made up 2 places, and the race was on. In 2nd place coming off the second bend, she powered away and passed the leading dog, and continued to run on strongly to win by 4 lengths in a time of 33.86, and she wasnt fading either. I was on the terraces with the breeder John Moyles, and was so excited that I gave her the old Oi Oi all the way from the 4th bend. The lads in the crowd were smiling, and you could hear me all over the Stadium, but I didnt care. I was truly on cloud 9. Well, isnt that what dog racing is all about??, and yes we did have a nice bit on at 9/4.
This has now moved her up from A9, to A7 and now A5 in her only 3 races., so she is improving all the time. She is favourably drawn in Trap 4 for Friday nights final, and I really fancy her to run a big race for us. She is entered in the Thurles sales on 28th April, and she will make someone a good 6 bend bitch.
