TRAFFIC COMMAND




Rocky goes from trap 4 in the 21-55 A2 race on Wednesday night at Shelbourne. He raised a few eyebrows and an enquiry from serious dog men after last weeks run, but he still needs the rails to show how fast he can go. Still on an upward curve, and still a puppy, gone from A4 to A2, including his last run of 29.25 at Shelbourne, in only the 3rd race of his life.The worst race he has ever run, and we know why!!!!! He is a bad kenneller. His blanket was wet with saliva and torn up, as was his muzzle. When he is in an early race he is fine, but now an A2 he is never going to be in these early races. We are going to take him to the track on Friday and Saturday night, and kennel him all night. We will see if this cures him, as he will never know when he is to race or not. He lost around 4 lbs after last nights race, but is fine this morning. Its a shame really as this pup is fast. Would make an ideal flapping dog, but we dont have flaps in Ireland.
