Updates

Mo ( Feral Helen) ran a 3rd at Addington on Tuesday. She missed her break and then ran on strongly to finish about 2L off the winner. Hopefully she will trap well soon and show us the potential she has!
Minnie and Sam are still being free galloped with Minnie showing that she enjoys the freedom of the paddock. Ben is also being free galloped but he is the laziest dog I have trained and very rarely gets in to a gallop!!
Yeboah, Melman and Lots of Beersies are all entered to run  this week or next so will be watching Trackside to see their progress.
The cold evenings and Frosts that have appeared in Oxford means that all the dogs are rugged up well to keep themselves warm!!

Kennel News

Not a bad day for the Collison Risk (Lizzie)litter Lots of Beersies (Zac) wins at Otago for Marek Dunne and his Shake and Bake syndicate and Feral Helen (Mo) gets a 2nd at Addington.

Both Minnie and Sam are back in work and have been given several free gallops in the big paddock. Minnie took a tumble when Sam clipped her but got up fine.

Mo (Feral Helen) runs 2nd!

Mo ran a 2L 2nd at Addington today. Fairly well away she showed plenty of determination to get to the front but just took a bump when in a great position. No excuses but pleased with the effort she showed in running.

Ben ( Feral Poutini) receives a 10 day stand down.

Poor old Ben (Feral Poutini) actually broke well from trap 8 and ran well (3rd) in to the bend then was dragged down by the 1 dog. From there on he was back tracking and was vetted. An old toe injury has flared up a little so he will be on the easy list for a few days.

Racing into the bend FERAL POUTINI (8) came down hampering the racing room of CULVIE GODFATHER (5) which lost ground and also LUCAS SCOTT (4) which was slightly inconvenienced FERAL POUTINI lost momentum and its chance when dragged down by WHAT A PARTY (1) rounding the bend this in turn caused ANOTHER KEY to check of the heels of FERAL POUTINI. CULVIE GODFATHER and SACAJAWEA (6) came together rounding the bend and both dogs ran wide. SACAJAWEA and FERAL POUTINI were both referred to the vet for assessment.

Good day for the Kennel.

Great to see Yeboah (Tom) win his 9th race out of his 10 starts. Now in C3 grade he is going through the grades nicely! Melman (Ted) came 3rd and earned another cheque.
Great to see Smash Rumour (Charlie) win again after a quiet spell and now he has taken over $30,000 in prize money helping Malcolms retirement fund!!
Friday sees Feral Poutini (Ben) have his 2nd start but just hoping for a safe run because he is very much a novice at the racing game!
