Sam ( Feral Coaster) and Mo ( Feral Helen) went to Addington tonight for a qualifying trial. The Southerly was blowing well and the heavy rain decided to appear while we were out there. Sam out of box 8 and Mo out of box 7. Both missed the break and were 2 lengths behind early on!! Bit of a messy affair with the winner doing a moderate 17.86. Great effort considering first time in with other dogs and an 8 dog trial!! Both dogs qualified which is pleasing to see.
Not worried about the time because the 1st race was won in 18.04!

Good Luck Charlie.
Good Luck to Charlie ( Smash Rumour) in tonights Galaxy Final. Well done to Malcolm and Lisa and team for getting him there.
UPDATE
Charlie ran 7th in the final. Broke well but got squeezed for room on the run up. Baulked at the bend. Ran a good race and not disgraced in defeat. Still the 7th best sprinter in NZ at the moment!

First win for the Litter!
Zac (Lots of Beersies) wins at Southland today by 6 lengths. Led at the 1st bend and never looked like losing. Well done to the Shake and Bake syndicate.
Pat ( Wairio Dee Jay) ran 2nd in his first run over 457m. He ran on very strongly in the home straight and he seems to be getting his act together!

Latest news
Gave 3 of the dogs Sam, Mo and Ben a trip to Addington for a trial, all went OK and now its time to qualify them when I get a chance! On the racing front Charlie (Smash Rumour) has qualified for the semis of the Galaxy sprint on Wednesday night.
Lizzie the mother of the pups is in season at the moment but I am thinking of not mating her this time around due to several reasons.
