Supreme Rioja Wins A3 Owners Bonus Series Final

Thursday night saw Supreme Rioja take the A3 final worth £500. Rioja, one of the pups from the progressive Take the Crown x Ballymac Mighty litter, used the wide draw to his advantage to overcome crowding at the first bend and went on to win by six lengths in a calculated 28.60. In winning the final, he also completed a hat-trick and will be looking to match the record of littermate Supreme Shiraz who completed a four timer with her win on 6th February.

Pups progressing well

The Take The Crown x Ballymac Mighty litter ,have really hit the ground running , I couldn't be more pleased with them . Supreme Rioja and Shiraz have both now won 4 races and progressed to A2, best of luck to "Pongo" in the owners bonus series final on Thursday . Artic Lightning has won 2 and risen to A3, Supreme Merlot and even little Claret have won a race each . Come On Rodney is now returning from a small injury , while Feel The Power,Im Noodle and Inky Binky all had their first trials last week and were well inside grading . Mother is currently in pup to Paradise Silva ,due in March , fingers crossed all goes well.
Having seen a few trial stakes , the Puppy Derby looks to have some tremendous quality again this year , no doubt the racing office will have a major headache deciding on the final 36.
Ballydoyle Time had her first spin out of season today ,recording a respectable sprint time . Its great to have her back as shes a real kennel favourite, and a great character . Hopefully she can remain injury free this time and give her owners some fun on the open race scene

January trainer stats

Three in a row

Two dogs completed a hat-trick in January.

Supreme Oslo began his impressive run with a win in A7 on 18th January. Just five days later he was upgraded to A6 and duly won again. He then had a further outing four days later and defied odds of 8/1 to once again win in A6 company.

Supreme Shiraz, an August '15 homebred, showed the rest of the litter just how it is done. After taking a couple of races to find her feet, she won in A6 grade in just her third race. She then won again in her next race in A5 company and overcame another upgrade to win her third in a row, taking an A4 race in 28.94 to see the month out in style!

Well done to all involved!

Leons Buck wins on Sky 25.1.17

With a good record in the Prestige at Hall Green in previous years, it was disappointing to not have an entry this year. However, on final night, Stuart returned to his old stomping ground with Leon's Buck for a 480m Standard race. He overcame a tricky trap 5 draw as a result of the race comprising of 6 railers, tucking inside the leaders at the first bend and tracking round behind them. On the run in he ran on strongly and went on to take the race by three quarters of a length.

Monmore Owners' association Bitch of the Month

Inch Forward - Bitch of the month (December)

Inch Forward, owned by Paul and Gill Allen, was voted as Monmore's bitch of the month for December. The August '14 home bred started December in style by winning an S3 in 38.31. The following week she was dropped back in trip and was narrowly beaten by 1/4 length in an A3. On her next outing she was stepped back up to the six bend trip and won the S2 in 38.14. She was then upgraded to S1 on 29th December which she won in style, by some 5 1/4 lengths in 38.08. Well done to Inch Forward and connections!

About time for an update,and sorry for the neglect . Well a quick recap 2014 was a pretty good year winning the Prestidge at hall green being the highlight , and getting the homebred Supreme Rossie to the TV trophy final . We finished the year with the most winners at hall green .
2015 started well with supreme Rossie winning over extreme distances in front of the sky cameras at sittingbourne and Crayford . We managed to get 2 through to the puppy oaks final at Towcester , and ballydoyle time won in great style .
2016 proved to be a transitional year , with doubt over the future of Hall Green for most of the year , to a meeting at the council house where plans for building were thrown out categorically, only for this to be reversed about a month later . At this point we decided that the future meant moving to Monmore , which came about in November . Fingers crossed it's the right decision .
2017 we shall see but really excited by the August 2015 litter by Take The Crown x Ballymac Mighty
