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 !

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all our supporters and a Happy new Year as well

Posing Dogs

The Two scotexcited pups are coating at the moment but are coming on well. Both very keen and very intelligent with great personalities. They will be 12 months old this month so off to be broken in soon. Maggie is teaching them the ropes and enjoys the trip to the beach as well.

Skippy winning her C1.

Skippy the Winner paying $35.20

Skippy (Feral Duchess) won her C1 at Addington today. Not only did she win the main race she also won the 70 metre dash in her first race???? The traps opened late and the lure was stopped quickly but the dogs ran to the bend and then returned to the lure to have a nibble!

In the re run 10 minutes later Skippy shot out and led until off the last bend then came back to get on the line at a meagre $35.20. Owner and trainer have now been able to retire!!!!

Two wins in a day but only one cheque!!!!
