Felines Fear Debut

Felines Fear "aka Jameson" made his long awaited debut this evening at Monmore. With four of the syndicate present he came away from traps in reasonable fashion to chase hard the eventual winner. He showed some reasonable pace and appeared to be trying his best to finish a good second. He has a very strange action, a giraffe sprinting rang a bell! He did seem to tire off the last bend and did fade after the line. Part 2 next week. In summary, a promising debut but won't be winner any Derbys ! We have 5 passes which each admits 2 people. I have allocated 1 to Foxy and 1 to Heather and they are likely to attend more than most. Please just mail me when you would like a pass.

Qualified

Jameson (Felines Fear) finished 2nd this morning in his final qualifying trial at Monmore. Most importantly his time was 30.14 which is a qualifying time to start racing. Running from trap 2 he was slow away from traps, bumped at the second bend and ran on to sneak inside qualifying. He could make his debut as early as Saturday however more likely is a week on Thursday.

14 / 1 ! Burty Winner

Raynes Park (Droopys Kewell x Quare Diamond) landed the £2,000 Ladbrokes Summer 480 Final for bitches this afternoon at Monmore. Trained by our long term trainer Martin Burt she was quickly in to her stride she was not headed as she flew round in 28.31. Foxy and I both invested her as ante-post odds of 14/1!! Juicy ! Our luck continues !

Jameson Improves

Jameson showed rapid improvement in his second trial clocking 30.28, an improvment of 60 spots. He now only needs to improve slightly to grade on next Tuesday. I will post Tuesday's important trial news as soon as possible.

Ian Greaves Retires

Sad to read that Ian Greaves has been forced to retire from the sport following health advice. The Greaves School of Excellence has produced a number of high quality dogs including Top Savings, Toms the Best and Greenacre Lin to name a few. All pups and broods are currently being sold off as the operation draws to an end. I'm very surprised the whole business and facility where not sold off together. Perhaps it was just an investment to big for any one person or perhaps it points out to the long term future of the sport.

Jameson Trial

Jameson clocked 30.90 on his first outing at Monmore last Tuesday. Given his lack of experience and fitness a slow time was expected. According to the lads he looked very green in his running style. Needing to record 30.20 to start to race a Monmore, he should improve a great deal this Tuesday.
