Rocky had his first 525 trial at Thurles this morning since running at Shelbourne Park 4 weeks ago.. He ran an excellent time, but it was an unofficial trial, so I am not going to mention the actual time he obtained. I can tell you that he is running this Friday night at Thurles, in a 570 A3 race. He has drawn Trap 4 which I am happy with. Plans are for entry into an A2 stake shortly.. He is entered in the Sales on October 30th at Thurles, but will need to fetch decent money before we let him go. His brother Farloe Tobias won an Open race at Shefffield a couple of weeks back, and another litter mate is also Open class in Ireland. I honestly believe this is a good competition dog. He led from the first bend, but was just caught on the run in, and beaten 0.5 length, in a winning time of 31.84. He probably needed the race, as it was 4 weeks since his last run, but I think 570 was just a shade too far for him.
