MONDAY THE 4TH OF MAY
It was a bank holiday but it was more or less a normal day at the kennels. First a disaster I day tripped England for cereal and I decided the push on the boat home I was on the weighbridge booking on and went to start the van after getting my booking completed and the engine blow Irish ferries couldn’t be more help full as they towed me on and towed me off and got me a taxi to Huston station , carried my bag and made me a cup of coffee got customs to come to me to clear the van and I was home an hour and a half after getting off the ferry. At the kennels we have swapped hounds around wormed pups and got organized for a very busy week. On this weeks greyhound star British performance of the week we have two hounds on the list Swift Kipper at Nottingham and Vanessas Tiger at the Valley. The write ups below are taking from the greyhound star
For the second week in a row, Swift Kipper was the winner at Nottingham. Terry Munslow’s bitch has been in flying form over both the 480m and 500m distance of late and is going to be building a nice fan club at the Colwick Park circuit. Last Monday’s win was her seventh from her last 10 starts.
The move from Swindon to the Valley has been the making of Vanessas Tiger who picked up his third win at the track. 16.02 was a new best run at the track from him, a time that just saw him into the top 15 of the year over 260m.
ON THE OPEN RACE SCENE IN THE UK WE HAVE TWO RUNNERS AT NOTTINGHAM SWIFT HOME AND SWIFT KIPPER.
