BLENHEIM MAN

Blenheim Man is an unraced July 05 pup, and is Novice Open Class. We thought it better to enter him in a race of lower class, but with other dogs that have raced. On Saturday night "Little Man " goes from Trap 5 in the semi final of an A6 Stake at Thurles. He is very well in himself, and we are expecting a big run from him. " Little Man " ran very well in his first ever race, against more experienced dogs. He trapped well from Trap 5 and ran the bends and the back straight well, before losing by a length, to a downgraded A1 dog, in a winning time of 29.77. He has drawn Trap 3 in the final next Friday.

CREAKING BONES

"Tonsils" is in an A4 final Stake at Thurles on Friday 27th April. He is in Trap 2, and if he can repeat last weeks effort, he should win.

This dog is so brave and genuine. He trapped quickly, and approaching the first bend was on the rails with 3 other dogs wanting to get close in to the rail. He weighs 83 pounds, and was as determined as he could be to hang on to his position. There was no room for error as his large frame was squeezed into a very tight spot on the rails, and on he went. No thoughts of jibbing or dodging. He came out of the bend in the lead, and never looked back, winning by 3.5 lengths in 29.34, just 4 spots slower than FTON. He has won 6 races from 12 starts and is now A2. This dog would be good enough to go Open Racing in the UK and is for sale at :

£3000.

WESTMEAD HAWK PUPS

Heres a picture that I took yesterday of some of Westmead Hawks puppies at 12 weeks of age. They were bred by Micheal Quinn of Drombane, Co.Tipperary, of the " Stouke " prefix name. Micheal generously offered me a free bitch from the mating, even before they were born. I chose the Brindle Bitch.

Trust me, Im a Greyhound Man!!!!!

Since moving here last August, I have made many friends , and no enemies. However, I have been lucky enough to be well guarded against certain Greyhound people, with the result that the 2 Greyhounds that have been brought from me to race in England, have done very well.

Nametab Kiwi, March 05, bred by John Moyles and owned by myself since 10 months of age, was sold at Thurles sales, and went straight into A2 at Sunderland. He won at second time of asking, and has now won A1, all within 5 races.

Bantiss Pebbles, June 05, also brought from John Moyles, improved lengths with us, and won an A6 600yards semi final, and the final of the Stake. She was sold to a previous buyer that brought a dog from me 16 months ago, and he is very pleased with his climb from A7 to A2 at Nottingham. Thats why he had this bitch on my recomendation. She had her first mixed trial at Nottingham last Monday, and won by 10 lengths in a time of 31.07.!!!!!!
If you are looking for a genuine dog or bitch, at the right price, then just telephone me or drop me a line. As someone once said " My word is my Bond ", and I will know the dog inside out when it leaves me. Oh, and one other thing, I cant get you the right dog overnight, it may take 2 months or more. Stop Press: Pebbles win her sealing trial against an A1 dog, by 5 lengths in 30.89 at Nottingham

CREAKING BONES

Tonsils goes tonight in an A4 stake at Thurles. He has the dreaded Trap 5 again. He has been placed in traps 5 or 6 in his last few races, which has really destroyed his card, having won 4 times on 4 visits in his early races from traps 1- 2 or 3. Never mind, lets see what he does toninght in this A4 downgrade.
Well, the dogs will always continue to baffle me. Not only did he blast away from his unfavourable trap 5 last night, but he won his semi-final race in 29.21, the fastest time he has ever run, by some 3 lengths. This is 5 wins from 11 races now, and he will be a very hot favourite for the final of the A4 Stake next Friday. The other semi-final time being won in 29.75
