NICE TO SEE DAVE FIRING AGAIN

 

ALTHOUGH SOME MAY ARGUE IT WAS ONLY AN S1 GRADE IT WAS STILL GREAT TO SEE FARLOE MYSTERIO (DAVE) WIN AT MONMORE LAST NIGHT. WHEN HE TRAPS OVER THE 630 HE IS STILL A REALLY DECENT DOG. REPETITION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE KEY TO THIS FELLA AND LAST NIGHT PROVED THAT AS HE HAD HIS SECOND CONSEQUTIVE RUN OVER THE DISTANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE SUMMER OF LAST YEAR. TRAPPING IS ESSENTIAL IN ALL ASPECTS OF GREYHOUND RACING BUT WHEN THERE IS ONLY A SHORT RUN TO THE BEND ITS VITAL!! WHEN IN FRONT HE SHOWS GREAT SPEED AND I'M SURE HE WILL BUILD ON LAST NIGHTS PERFORMANCE.

 

I MENTIONED ON YESTERDAYS BLOG THAT I THOUGHT WE COULD WIN THE S1 WITH EITHER RUNNER BUT I COULD NEVER ENCISAGE WHAT FATE BESTOWED OUR OTHER RUNNER PARADISE PACIFIC!! HE UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO TOW PAUL SALLIS' ABBEYVALE USHER ROUND FOR 600 MTERES WHEN, AFTER IMPACT AT THE FIRST, USHERS MUZZLE LODGED ITSELF IN TO THE FASTENINGS OF PACIFIC RACEING JACKET. UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!
