BLENHEIM MAN

Sold at Thurles sales after winning his trial. I expect to see him entered in the August Catalogue at Perry Barr. Good luck for the future " Little Man "I shall be watching your progress.

Blenheim Man goes from Trap 6 in the last race at Thurles this coming Saturday night. He is entered in the sales at Thurles the following week, and is Lot83. The dog in Trap 2 was different class. He was out and gone and won in 29.35. Our fellow tried his hardest to get back into the race, despite the attention of the 4 dog, and ran on to be 2nd. I have a feeling Blenheim Man will be better over 6 bends. http://www.igb.ie/Greyhounds.aspx?id=F16E288A-F225-42FC-9522-19742A037F99

RONANS ROCKET

Stop Press: RONANS ROCKET sold for a nice 4 figure sum to a UK buyer, without any form of advertising at all.

Ronans Rocket goes from Trap 4 in the Pre-hung Doors Direct A2 Puppy 525yds Semi-final at Limerick tonight. This young dog has blistering sectional times of 4.92 and 4.94 in his previous 2 heats of this 48 dog Stake. He is now staying better, so its good luck to his owner / trainer, 13 year old Ronan O'Donavan tonight, and there will be a big following coming down from Thurles to give both the dog and Ronan some vocal support. For the first time in his life "The Rocket " missed his break. His nose was at the top of the gate when it opened, and he seemed a little suprised when the lids went up. However, he managed to get back into contention at the third bend, but his rear legs were dragged back by the 5 dog, effectively finishing his race. Hard luck Ronan, but there will be another winning race for this young dog before too long.

OKEE DANCER



Okee Dancer is in the Final of a 48 dog Stake, The Mabels Dilema At Stud A3 Stake, at Thurles next weekend. This August 05 dog has had 5 races and won 3 and is very fast away. A sprint 330 yd trial of 17.77 at Thurles was run earlier in the year, and he is always away quickly.He now stays as well, so good luck to " The Dancer " in the final next weekend. Never slow in his trapping, and he didnt let us down tonight, out and gone, but tieing up on the run in. A good solid perfomance by this dog, and winning 2800 euro for this contest..http://www.igb.ie/Greyhounds.aspx?id=6DB70C76-60D0-4146-B9B7-EC7C59168A46

KYLEMORE DAME


Sold at Thurles sales after winning her trial by 10 lengths. The man that brought her, is going to breed from her when she comes amiss.

Unraced August 05 bitch. 12 weeks out of season. Will be entered in sales at Thurles on 30th June . In an official trial at Thurles on 22nd June, this bitch took a hefty bump on the first bend, which knocked her back 2/3 lengths, but her character is so genuine, that she rallied, and went past the leading dog, to win by 4 lengths. 3 trials, 3 wins for this unraced bitch http://www.igb.ie/Greyhounds.aspx?id=87A2BFE8-23FB-40CB-A1FC-F1AF8D29A1E6

NAMETAB KESTREL



Today, I collected NAMETAB KESTREL from Micheal Quinn of Stouke. Bred by Westmead Hawk x Stouke Vienna, she will be reared by Ronan O'Donovan down in Co.Limerick. Ronan reared and races Ronans Rocket, who on his third attempt won at Limerick in the fastest time of the day 29.17, a couple of weeks back. Good luck Ronan, the world will be looking on to see how this Bitch progresses.
