HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!! (Well, in 2 days time!) By Moley

Hello funky fans!! It has been an eventful few months, full of ups in trip and downs. I have been running over 6, 8 and 10 bends and enjoying myself!! I am now revelling in the height of S2 at Crayford, where I am engaged to run on Thursday (our birthday!!) Hopefully I can celebrate in style! I have also contested the E1 Crayford Anniversary Cup Final over 714m, where I sprung a 10/1 shock (to lesser educated individuals!) in the heats. Alas, the final was not my night, but I enjoyed being a superstar!! I then ran over 874m in the heats of the Boxing Day marathon and finished 4th, missing out on a Final place by a fast diminishing 3/4 of a length. I hope to be back over the trip very soon! I have now won 4 races at Crayford; E2, S4, E1 and S3, and will soon be victorious over 874 ;-)

Colin has come through his qualifying trials after 8 months off with a bad injury, and will hopefully be making his debut soon. He is easily recognisable as the only dog on parade that doesn't know how to use his front legs!!! Apple of our mum's eye!!

Freddie has been off since the middle of November with a wrist injury, but is trialling back tomorrow over 540 after a very good 380 trial last week, and will hopefully return to winning ways soon - we missed you Fred!!! He is currently 1 from 8 at Crayford with some very decent efforts far from disgracing him.

Brutus is still loving his role as the 'Pretty'one, and is milking it!! You should see him strutting about with his big eyes at kenneling, he thinks trotting for the vet is a catwalk!!!! He won an A8 very impressively after 2 starts at Crayford and has run well in A7 since. He is trialling over 540 tomorrow and will then be a dual distance dog!!

Joani is being Joani. She now has a lovely pink collar with Old Bag written on it, such is her nickname at the kennels, and is actually very proud of it!!! She has now won 2 races at Crayford and has finished a close second in heat and final of an S7 sweepstake. She will be gracing the track again very soon!!

That's all for now, we will be back very soon!

Lots of love and wagging tails

Moley
