Sheffield British Bred Puppy Cup

On Tuesday 21st March three of the take the crown x Ballymac mighty litter had their first open race adventures in the first round of the Puppy Cup. Despite not having a trial, all three managed to qualify from their heats for next Tuesday's semi finals with Supreme Rioja winning his heat. There are some very good British bred pups in the competition who are certainly leading the way on time but with a first look round the track under their belts the pups should improve in the semi-finals

Artic Lightning ran a cracking race in the final and after getting out and leading he was picked up just before the line by the fast finishing Geelo Monty. The 500m trip was always going to be a tough ask for Artic Lightning but he ran his heart out!

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 Monmore Trainer Statistics

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!
