MONDAY THE 14TH OF SEPTEMBER
The first job of the day was to empty the van with cereal that I collected in England. We have done the paperwork. Been to collect food for pups from the supermarket and a whole lot more of bits and pieces from the hardware and the farm supply shop. We already been to Shelbourne park to trial Swift Leroy who did a very special 525. We are all fed and the next job is to go to Kilkenny for trials and we will update the dog for sale page later today. On this weeks greyhound star British performance of the week we have one hound on the list Swift Kipper at Nottingham the write up below is taken from the star.
Meanwhile at Nottingham, it was Swift Kipper who produced the pick of last week’s runs, adding another success to her bulging resume of them. She has been in red-hot form for the majority of this year, running 27 times from February 20 to now, winning 15 of them. It is no mean feat to keep a bitch sweet for that long.
