Wookie Staying Put

Sadly all things have no being going that well for Wookie out in Lincoln so he won't be joining the our current team of racers. The syndicate members were informed this morning. Whilst disappointed that he won't be the dog we hoped for hopefully he will fit somebody else's criteria.

Many thanks to Charles and Kath at ZigZag.

Flying in Paddocks

Please find below the latest Video of ZigZag Wookie(Chewie) taken this morning. Kath at the kennels thinks he is lightning.

Everyone who visits the kennels wants to buy him. So much in fact she said she was going to move him out the way to avoid disappointment from the buyers. I told her every dog has a price and we would be open to offers.

As you can see he have developed well.

Jimmy In Boys

With each differnet dog the syndicate slightly changes shape with personalities as peoples personal circumstances change. We have eight in the syndicate of which three of us have been in from the very start. Thought I'd do a breakdown of everyone.

I've organised the syndicate from day one with the Rob as one I tend to bounch any ideas off.

Rob is known as the Silver Fox. He works for Landrover and is known for his shrewd long shots at Monmore and great golf tips.

Brian (Rab C Nesbitt) is our scottish owner who loves a good punt given any opportunity. He also owns horses in training with Brian Smart.

Paul (Swanny) is local to Monmore and works for Jaguar. Will travel any where to see his dogs run. Loves a pint and punt.

When Lynne joined us she won a Trophy Race, landed a bet and had a runner in an Open within 2 weeks. Lynne manages one of the leading Swimming pools in the Midlands.

Heather has been appointed as travel organiser, has the inside news on all cheap long haul flight!!! Enjoys a good bottle and a sure fire winner.

Colin offers the best chance to land a bet. He is always odds on last to pay. Is rarely seen these days as a new female interest is keeping him away from the track and the golf course.

Mark is our newest member and works for Road traffic management company.
His passions are horse & dog racing and playing bowls.

Chewie News

The Jimmyin Boys latest pup "Chewie" (Knockabout Wok x ZigZag Peggy) is developing very well. Kath from the kennels kindly forwarded the photo showing. If you look at the dogs markings they are so similar to Mossys its untrue.


He now out in the runs bossing his commrades around.

I will try and get some video coverage next time I visit.

Chewie Joins the Team

Following two successful ownerships with Comical Raffles and Smooth Moss, the syndicate have secured a young pup that was born in March 2007.


The pup is bred Knockabout Wok x Zigzag Peggy.

Wok was rated the fastest dog is Australia before retiring and has already thrown winners in his stud career to date.

Peggy is an unraced bitch, as she broke her hock when young. She is from a repeat mating of Droopys Kewell (Larkhill Jo x Perrys Pusher) making her and her pups of real value. The pup is a beauty, a big blue dog with a striking white blaze down his face.

The idea is to rear him in Lincoln before sending him to Ireland for finishing and schooling. He would then return to a Midlands based trainer selected to suit the dogs ability.

Lynne Farmer has kindly offered to have the dog in retirement as a pet should her circumstances at the time be suitable. The welfare of the dog will be paramount at all times.

As always I will try and keep you up to date with photos, snippets of news and hopefully the odd video clip. All issues are discussed by email or in person.

The confirmed members are :-

N Duggan / B Grieve / L Farmer / R Evans/ C Wheeler / P Swan all from the existing syndicate.

(ND/ BG / LF all left there money in the syndicate bank account so their payments are different)

Heather Wheeler will be a new member and also has a friend who is very interested along with Paul. If they could forward this information on to the interested parties it would help.

Payment Plan for Existing members
£20 on 25th May / July / October / January 2008 / and £30 in April 2008

Payment Plan for New Members -
£100 on 25th May / £20 July / October / January 2008 / and £30 in April 2008

Once the pup reaches racing age we will split the kennel bills by equal shares once any prizemoney has been taken out. Our first dog won over £3500 in prizemoney.

This is an opportunity to have some great fun for a small outlay. Greyhounds are very high risk, some don’t make the track. You can be rest assured our sapling will have every chance to make the most of his ability and I’ll use all my established contacts to every second count.

Should you wish to leave before the dog retires we would expect a contribution toward his rehoming. (Insurance and Bed). We don’t allow shares to be resold unless we are all in agreement.
Once the dog reaches racing age will have social evenings at the track, some organised, some not. You will always be able to watch your dog for free unless the rules change(unlikely).

Hopefully you will all make some new friends and we will all share the days on the winner’s rostrum.
