Joyful Charm

Joyful deserves a blog posting won on her debut in Tralee in 28.79 only 12 spots slower than the Juvenile Classic, had a long wait with her as some problems with her when first bought her but the wait has been worth it, was an impressive debut.

Was entered for an A2 bitches stake in Shelbourne but only 2 entered so it's back to Tralee for a 550 stake this Friday, trap 5 a slight hindrance but expecting her to win this one. She needs the experience of racing and 550 she'll get with ease so hopefully out and gone and win comfortably, that's the plan in any case then up to Shelbourne all being well for a race or a trial with main aim the Puppy Oaks.

OI OI the Flossy 10-1 at the Don :-)

Go on girl :-)

Had a few quid on at 10-1 a great run beating some of the top Marathon runners in the Country OI OI

Flossy does the business :-)

Very impressed with Flossy and she seems to be showing some early gears now :-)

Coventry Sunday great card very good Marathon

Coventry Sunday great card very good Marathon

Trap 1 which is nice and our old rival Gaga in 2 with the very useful Capoley Ash in 6 as well as Pony Bride who seems to stay. A real good galloping track so fingers crossed she gets a clear and puts in a good run. With the wide bends at Coventry she should be able to pass a few dogs unlike Crayford. A good race and certainly a few with chances in it.

She don't like Crayford

These race comments sum up Crayford for me and Swift really not suited to the track with such short straight's doesn't give her time to stretch out and pass a dog as for passing on a bend not easy there! Bumped and Crowded for every dog in the race. She's come off sound and will show her stuff on a galloping track before to long.

Flossy out of Golden Jacket :-(

Flew out the box so fast she lost her footing after a few steps and from then on was race over, she ran on at the end but could never give that much of a start away to that class of greyhound. She's come off sound and will be entered for the Marathon on Saturday, which should be much her preferred distance so fingers crossed she doesn't start like that again and gets a clean run.

Good luck to all next week's Golden Jacket finalists!

Boots is now sold and moving on to Belle Vue, a track that should suit him and hopefully the penny will drop with him for his new owners.

Flossy 3rd and qualified through to the semi's

Flossy 3rd and qualified, her first good workout in 6 weeks so hopeful of a bit of improvement next week and fingers crossed to qualify for the FINAL :)

It's definitely on the short side for her though.

Was a mad trip over, arrived at Dartford about 5pm then out for a few beers before on to the track. Met up with Wayne and Jeff, good to meet people from the forums. Back at 1pm on Sunday a bit worse for wear after a few voddies and sambooka shots in Dartford town centre, bit of a dump the place is but great craic and would be more than happy to go back in 2 weeks for the FINAL! :-)
