November update

Boots finished 2nd in a stake at Tralee and after showing good early pace threw away his own race by not getting on with the job - penny hasn't dropped yet so he's gone over the pond to Monmore to pursue his racing career there with Kirsty Turner and Dave Haywood. He's travelled over well and settled in to his new surroundings very quickly so hopefully he'll go through the grades and go on to be the dog we thought he might be. He definitely has pace so be interesting to see how he goes.

Ballymac Swift ran her usual good race over 550 at Cork a couple of weeks ago but did not start racing until the finish line so decided no more 4 bend races and back up to 750+ - she raced last night in a D3 at Tralee and was beaten a length and she finished fast and strong so 845 in Newbridge next week providing it fills. We really think she'll stay further so HX still on our minds in December.

One of the Kinloch Brae sisters Heather's Hare started well at Romford winning on her first race course appearance at 4-1 they are still very young so would hope they can improve and go through the grades at Romford for their new owners.
