MORE AMIGOS THAN BUDDIES

 

TERRY KENEALY RECENTLY RETURNED TO VILLAGE FARM AFTER A SABBATICAL FROM GREYHOUND OWNERSHIP OF AMOST THREE YEARS. TERRY HAS ENTRUSTED US WITH HANDLING HIS RACING GREYHOUNDS FOR NIGH ON A DECADE AND HE AND I GET ON EXTREMELY WELL, THE 'AMIGOS' WE ARE KNOWN AS TO EACH OTHER AS, A WORD THAT HAS ENDED TXTS AND PHONE CALLS BETWTEEN US ON HUNDREDS OF OCCASSIONS. ALONG HIS FATHER, TERRY SNR, AND HIS SON MARTIN WE'VE HAD MANY A GOOD NIGHT AND EVEN ENJOYED A BIT OF FOOTBALL AND HORSE RACING TOGETHER. THE KENEALYS ARE GREAT PEOPLE!

 

TERRY FIRST CAME TO US IN 2003,WHEN WE WERE BASED IN HAREFIELD. HE ASKED US TO TRAIN HIS FIRST DOG FIVEFOLD FLYER. THINGS WENT WELL AND SOON TERRY HAD TWO OR THREE HOUNDS IN OUR CARE. HE ALWAYS KEEPS A GOOD CLASS OF GREYHOUND AND FARLOE MILLIE WAS PROBABLY HIS BEST. SHE WAS AN OPEN CLASS BITCH THAT POSTED SOME TERRIFIC TIMES AND BUT FOR INJURY COULD'VE GONE ALL THE WAY. RECENTLY TERRY, ALONG WITH THREE OF HIS OLDEST PALS, HAVE  CALLED ON US AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY'VE PURCHASED FARLOE BUDDY. A DOG WITH SOME HUGE RUNS ON HIS CARD TO DATE BUDDY HAD RECENTLY COMPETED IN THE ENGLISH DERBY. HOPEFULLY A BIG NIGHT OR TWO ARE ON THE HORIZON FOR TERRY AND THE BOYS WHEN BUDDY IS IN FULL FLOW! BEST OF LUCK AMIGO 'THIS TIME NEXT YEAR...........'

 

 

STILL HERE AND STILL SMILING

 

 

IN THE COMING WEEKS WE WILL BE WORKING HARD TO REPLENISH OUR NUMBERS ON THE MONMORE RACING STRENGTH BY REGRADING THE DOGS THAT HAD RECENTLY FALLEN FOUL OF INJURY. I THINK ITS ALSO  WORTH MAKING THE POINT THAT WE ARE EXPECTNG AN INFLUX OF YOUNG DOGS AND THIS IS VITAL IF WE ARE TO PROGRESS. AT LILYPAD WE TRY TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THE DOGS IN OUR CARE FOR THE LONGEST PERIODS POSSIBLE BUT I THINK WE ALL HAVE TO REALISE THAT THERE MAY BE A TIME WHEN LOSING A LENGTH OR TWO DUE TO AGE OR INJURY OR BOTH MEANS THAT WINS WILL BECOME HARDER TO COME BY.

 

AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO EXERCISE THE HARD WORK ETHIC AND  MAINTAIN FOCUS THE YEAR WILL SOON GET BACK ON TRACK AND WHATEVER WE DO OR WHATEVER CHALLENGES WE FACE WE MUST DO SO WITH A SMILE ON OUR FACE ............. BECAUSE THATS THE LILYPAD WAY!!

 

 

PACIFIC FLOWS THROUGH THE RAIN

 

PARADISE PACIFIC ALWAYS SO EASY ON THE EYE IN HIS RACING ROARED FROM THE BACK OF THE FIELD TO LAND THE SPOILS IN THE A2 AT MONMORE LAST NIGHT. THE LAST HOUR OR SO OF THE MEETING WAS RAVAGED BY THE WEATHER AS TORRENTIAL RAINS BESEACHED THE WOLVERHAMTON VENUE AND RACING WAS DELAYED FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR AS LYING WATER MEANT THAT THE HARE WOULD NOT RUN AT FULL SPEED. AFTER PERSISTANCE FROM THE TRACK TEAM RACING RESUMED AND PACIFIC CAME UP WITH HIS AWESOME DISPLAY!

 

BREAKING FIFTH, HE TRACKED BRILLIANTLY THROUGH THE FIELD TO CONTEND AT THE THIRD. AT THIS POINT HE WAS THE VICTIM OF A KNOCK-ON-EFFECT OF TROUBLE BY THOSE MARGINALLY AHEAD OF HIM AND WAS CONSEQUENTLY CROWDED OUT TOWARD THE HARE RAIL. IN A FLASH THE DOG SORTED OUT HIS FEET, READJUSTED HIS COURSE AND CAME UNDER A NUMBER OF RUNNERS OFF THELAST TO BURST THROUGHT THE MIDDLE ON TH ERUN IN AND PREVAIL GOING AWAY IN 29.17 ON A VERY HEAVY SURFACE. IT WAS A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE AND SIMPLY BRILLIANT TO WATCH. WELL DONE PEPE!!

KNOWN TO HIS HANDLERS AS ZIZOU THE DECEMBER 2008 WELP IS A PROPER GENTLEMAN TO WORK WITH AND ALWAYS GIVE 100%. HE HAS RUN IN GOOD COMPANY FOR VIRTUALLY ALL HIS RACING CAREER AND DESPITE SLIPPING A TAD OF LATE HE STILL POSSESSES HIS MAIN ATTRIBUTES, GOOD TRAPPING, DECENT EARLY AND BEING ABLE TO RUN A BRILLIANT FIRST BEND!
