Disappointing news.

Mo (Feral Helen) has been retired after her run at Addington yesterday. She was having her first run back for me and had been working really well. Drawn in trap 8 this is stewards report.

"Racing into the bend FERAL HELEN (8) faltered and lost ground with a subsequent veterinary examination revealing a torn gracilis requiring a 28 day stand down".

She is walking OK today but the muscle has pulled away so time to call it a day with her. Hopefully find a nice home for her in the near future.

Happy New Year

Very quiet on the Kennel front. The whelping pen is now complete again and ready for Mid January. Lizzie (Collision Risk) is very big at the moment and looks like she has a few pups on board. The hot weather is uncomfortable for her but she still likes to let you know that she has a bark!!
Both Sam and Mo are in work and its just difficult getting them a C1 at Addington.

Hope you all had a good xmas and the kennel wish everybody a          HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 

Sams win

Good day at the races!

Firstly it was great to see Tom (Yeboah) finish 3rd in the Group 2 Dash For Cash final at Wanganui. He came out well but just not quite catch the flying Subic Bay to the bend where if he had he might have gave it a nudge. Fair play to the winner with its outstanding time of 17.20! Tom finished well but was not going to catch the winner. Nice breeders bonus of $750 coming our way.

In the afternoon Sam (Feral Coaster) won his maiden at Addington in the time of 17.60 the fastest of the 3 maiden races. Great to see the dog comeback from the stopper pad injury and if Jacqui had her way he would have been sitting on the sofa by now. This was his 2nd race back since the injury in January!

Mo (Feral Helen) has been galloped well and is showing no sign of the toe injury that has kept her sidelined.

Kennel News

Looks like Lizzie (Collison Risk) is in pup either that or I am feeding her too much!! Next week we will get her scanned just to confirm this.

Tom (Yeboah) won his heat of the LIQUORLAND WANGANUI DASH FOR CASH FINAL - C5F - 305M 
$13,000.00 Group 2

and now qualifies for the final on friday and he has drawn trap 2.

Sam (Feral Coaster) ran 5th on his come back race and trialled nicely last week at Addington.

Mo (Feral Helen) has had 2 gallops and it looks like the injury is fine now because there has been no swelling in her foot.

Tom (Yeboah) Manakau

Well Tom (Yeboah) missed his break in the Galaxy final to finish 6th. Gutted really but proud just to have a runner in a Cat A. Today Sunday he was back at Manakau in a C5 against top class Northern sprinters. Whats he do ? Blasts out and wins by 8 Lengths in the fastest of the day 18.21.

Galaxy 6th

Tom (Yeboah) started favourite for the final of the Galaxy Sprint ($30,000)! Unfortunately he blew the start and never really got in the race. Started to make a move but the One moved off the rails and the 4 then bumped him. Fair play to the winner he flew the lids and posted a 17.08. Obviously disappointed but also proud just to have bred a dog that has the ability to compete at the top.

Kennel news. 
Sam (Feral Coaster)had another gallop this morning and his Stopper pad seems to have held up to the gallop...fingers crossed!!
