First off, I'll kick off by congratulating Terry King (Asst. RM) and his now wife Charlotte King on their marriage on Friday. Twas a cracking day, though as I said I felt that a good ole' Friday BAGS could've been a sufficient venue for such a day!
I know it seems like yonks ago that the opens took place, however I thought it would be good for a quick roundup. Anyone that read my lips after the Hernandez run will tell you 'he's done the clock'. What A Run!! To be fair, the potential was always there, there was a flash run coming from him, and as I said to kennelhand Ben McBride; "Peaked about a month too soon!" Still, cracking run, and well done Mr. Picinelli and the Stringer camp, you've hell of a dog there.
Other notable performances including a certain Ding Hero. Hard to believe he was a maiden before this run really?! He didn't half ping from the 2 box, and took the race for his own. This dog has been in my book since day 1, and he's just peaking at the right time. He has a big future. Remember, he's only an Aug'09, still bags of miles in him yet!
Glenbane Air made a successful debut in what was the most moderate of the opens. Certain of a big future, he'll need a couple more spins around Swindon I think to get his track craft right, as he made a couple of mistakes in run-in (that's not a dig, mearly an observation). The other trial stake winner was Tinas Zodiac, who made the Houfton's journey down from Dunham Land all the sweeter. The run just goes to prove my point, and I'll keep saying it, you need a look round Swindon.
I didn't do all that bad on the tipping this week, and I'll be keeping it up for next weeks, as we had plenty of entries for trial stakes again this time around (and there's some pretty tasty greyhounds in amongst the entries!)
On another note, I do appreciate people taking the time to read this blog. Really does cheer me up hearing people have read it! If you'd like to see anything covered, give me a shout and Ill cover it.
All the best,
