Smooth Moss


I first spotted Smooth Moss when I started to do the website for ZigZag kennels. She was running on strong in A4 races at Hull. Her pedigree (Smooth Rumble x Mossley Pusher) was made for a longer trip and her brother in Ireland Westmead Force was earning rave reviews. On the basis of this and discussions with my Syndicate side kick the Silver Fox I purchased her for just £800 for the Jimmy in Boys. In her first trial over six bends she recorded 38.15 so we instantly knew we had a good bitch. She could never land an S1 but always won when eased by the grader. She ran in two Opens and her best effort was to finish third at Monmore in the Ladbrokes Gold Cup 835. She was retired to the paddocks as agreed with ZigZag. She had a litter of four pups to Brookside Bear which included a cracking Blue Brindle dog. Tragically Mossy and her pups were caught in the terrible fire at ZigZag and all were lost. She will always hold a special place in all our memorys.
