Take the Crown x Ballymac Mighty August '15 Homebred Litter

In the Take the Crown x Ballymac Mighty August '15 litter, bred and reared by Stuart Buckland, there were a total of 10 pups.  With 'Feel the Power' securing his first win last week all 10 have now won a race - a really fantastic training performance! Since the first hitting the track in December the litter have racked up a total of 40 wins between them and some of the litter have already won minor open races and others have contested competitions such as the British Bred Puppy event at Sheffield and the Gymcrack at Kinsley. A number will be heading to Swindon for the Produce Stakes in July, a competition which Stuart previously won in 2013 with Son of Delboy. There's surely even more to come from this super litter - exciting times ahead!

Monmore Dog of the Month - May 2017

Dog of the Month for May is Im Noodle (Take The Crown-Ballymac Mighty, Aug 15) Owned by Paul Clements, trained by Stuart Buckland. The British bred pup went to traps on six occasions and won five rising from A5 to win A2 and never returning shorter than 4-1. The presentation will be on the first Thursday in July. In the process of claiming his five wins he also managed to win four in a row which is quite a remarkable achievement in graded company. Well done to all connections.

British Bred St Leger Final

Inch Forward ran a tremendous race at Central Park on 7th June to take the final of  the British Bred St Leger. Having qualified for the final in third place the previous week, she really showed class and stamina to win by a head in 39.90 and defy her odds of 9/1. Well done to all owners Paul and Gill Allen who were very proud of her.

In her next open race outing, she will be looking to step up in trip, with the Dorando marathon on Derby Final night the most likely target.  It's fantastic to see a homebred taking on leading open race dogs in these types of competitions and there definitely looks more to come from this super bitch.
