Recent updates.

The two pups George and Ridgy by Scotexcited have gone to Supreme Kennels to learn the game. They have already been on the straight chasing the drag and both went very well.
Skippy is back home and is in season. She has been placed in the kennel with Maggie and both enjoy each others company. She was quickly back in to the routine of dragging her blankets out and taking her feed bowl on to her bed!!!!

Skippys Last race.

Made a big decision after her last run to retire Skippy ( Feral Duchess) from racing. She has been running consistently well in C1 class but felt it time to call it a day with several non placement runs. Its been great fun watching her run and cannot complain at her strike rate for places. She always gave her best but sadly like her owner was a bit one paced!!
She will come home to the Kennels in Kaniere and enjoy retirement on the West Coast.

Skippys change! Would she make it?

Skippy at 2 1/2 years and a racing career and Skippy the 10 week old pup!

Pups are now 12 month old.

Weigh in time for the George and Ridgy.
George=30.5 kg
Ridgy =27.00

Both pups are coming on nicely and soon will be sent away to be broken in.Both pups are coating and now enjoying the warm dry west coast weather!!!!

Skippy ran a gallant race after taking a slight bump of Highgrove at the first bend.

Skippys 2nd win.

Addington win came after a re run when the lure was stopped after 50 metres due to late opening of the traps. Bit of a surprise !
