Feral Duchess (Skippy) ran 5th at Addington on Friday. She totally missed the kick going up with the lids and trying to rail at the first got checked slightly. She ran on well to gain some ground up to finish fifth. Not disappointed apart from the draw again of trap 6. She needs the rail badly to be effective so hopefully soon!

Feral Duchess Returns
Skippy runs in race 4 1.02 pm tomorrow at Dunedin but out of trap 8 it will need a bit of luck and early pace to make the first bend in a good position. Lets hope she gets a good run and comes off safe and sound.

Feral Kennels lastest news.
Well Skippy ( Feral Duchess) has been back in training and we are waiting for a return to the track. She is working well and hopefully showing the form thats required to get competitive.
George is still waiting to be graded but is also showing that he has a nice turn of foot , so hopefully he will be running soon.
The two at the kennels are well with Ridgy just recovering from being speyed, the way she yaps i reckon the tongue should have come out!

Still Here!
Not a lot of news really but George is doing OK in his preparation for his tilt at racing. Litter sister Ridgy is here at the kennels looking well and enjoying her runs on the beach chasing seagulls.
Skippy is working very well on the beach and looking good and seems to be enjoying her work.The chance to run 400 plus metres to chase seagulls is great to see and she comes back hardly panting! The cool off in the sea and the drink of sea water must be as good as electrolytes!
All good really and cant wait to watch the English Derby final on Sunday morning here, trap 1 looks a likely winner for Charlie Lister.
