July Dog Of The Month -- Russ
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had a great month at the tables where the $5K GTD win was obviously the highlight.
Played a lot more in July thanks to having some time off work and really enjoyed it.
Almost won A 'Gatsby' but thanks for the honourable mention ;)
Unfortunately my car has been wrote off after the accident and will continue to drive the posh courtesy car for now ;)
Footy season just around the corner so Saturdays will become hard work again ;)
Looks like the Gareth Barry saga continues and it looks like he has played his last game for us :(
Anyways Thx and GL

Big High + Massive Low
Last time i posted we had 5 runners to finish off the month, so on Tues 29th we made the usual trip to Hall Green.
Polar and Teddy ran, both finishing 4th, then the fun started.
Russ ran a blinder to win his fifth A1 in fine style, obviously we were delighted :)
Then 30 mins later Marvin lines up for a S3 race. We fancied our chances of a double especially as Marv had been flying of late.
Traps went up and he found himself in a good position, as the race unfolded we were getting quite excited as he was coming with his usually late charge. Just as Marv hits the front, for some unknown reason he decides to 'have a look' as he goes by. After the 'Interference' he comes home in 3rd beaten Shd, Shd.
Now after 96 races and never showing any tendancy to be Awkward EVER we were hoping that he may be given the benefit of the doubt and just be marked 'AWK' !!!!!!
The result of the race came over the tannoy and we heard the dreaded comments ''Trap 6 Shear Heaven has been Disqualified for Deliberate Interference''. We were distraught. Marvins career has been left in tatters and he may not run again :(
Discussions will be held over the coming days to see if he can race at HG again, but to be honest i think it will be highly unlikely :(
Latest results --
Tues 29th
Polar (1/9) 4th in A2.
Teddy (8/37) 4th in 645 hcap.
Russ (4/22) WON A1@2/1 4.64 sectional :)
Marvin (7/36) 3rd in S3. DQ see above :(
Weds 30th
Shelley (1/15) 3rd in A7.
July --- 10/30
Year -- 47/251

Teddy 'Powers' For A1 Success
Teddy (Lagganmore Power) has been running really well this month, so well that he tasted victory in an A1 for the first time on Friday :)
His style of running (coming from off the pace) makes him really exciting to watch.
Since taking him to Perry Barr for the Open behind the smart Olygirl he has won 6/14, gone from A4 to A1 and took a 645m Hcap off scratch in fine style. WELL DONE Teddy :)
Last weeks runners ---
Tues 22nd
Shelley (1/14) 3rd in A7.
Weds 23rd
Belle (2/16) WON A7@11/4 well done Lightning ;)
Marvin (7/35) 3rd in A1, failed the 4 timer but still another good run.
Fri 25th
Teddy (8/36) WON A1@5/2 Got up in the shadows for his maiden A1 win :)
Polar (1/8) 6th in A2, needed that run after long lay off.
Sat 26th
Belle (2/17) 5th in A6, ran better than position suggests after encountering traffic problems.
July --- 9/25 (for us Win to Run Ratio is fantastic)
Year - 46/246
On Tuesdays card (tomorrow) we have four runners.
Polar, Russ, Teddy and Marvin.
Our Final runner of the month will be Shelley, she is out on Weds Bags.
Very best of luck to all 5 :)
After my win at the start of the month, the poker is still not too bad, a few FT appearances but no more victorys to report.
No one likes finishing Second :(
BUT Ukgatsby did just that recently in Cryptos $20k GTD for $4,000 :)
A truly Great result Mate WP ;)
I am sure a 'Major' one like this wont be too far away :)
Down at Villa Park. Wilfred Bouma's injury tainted our win in the InterToto Cup First Round.
Lets hope for a speedy recovery.
Gareth Barry came on as a Sub for him and lets hope he can be persuaded to stay at the club for at least another 12 months.
Anyways Thx and GL

A good month for us with 8 winners :)
Lucy and Teddy the pick of the bunch.
June hopefully will be the same and looking forward to see Shelley and Russ in full flow again and hopefully Polar breaking his duck ;)
Puppy Dan went to Ireland to continue his rearing and Janey has found a new home :)
May Dog Of The Month -- LUCY just shades it with 3 wins from 6 starts.
Been a busy start to June already and will be updated after Saturdays runners.
Well done to Loyal Honcho on a great win in this years Greyhound Derby, a deserved success for the Grahams after going so close in the past.
The Epsom Derby takes place in a few hours and i fancy New Approach to taste Classic Glory for the Bolger team.
NFL Tickets for the October Wembley game between the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers went on sale late in May and Simon and I will be there again to see the action :)
Euro 2008 starts tonight, with no home nations in attendance it will be very different but the football should still be good with many of the top Premiership players out there.
A boring tip but i fancy the Germans to win it with Spain taking the runners up spot.
GL + Thx
