Racing Today At Thurrock

[RealMadYid]

There was a low turn out today as most racers were at Ockendon on the bends early in the morning, but we still had some good racing. Sing For Me looked impressive, as did OB2 and Seven Eleven who had both trialled on the bends earlier in the day.

Around the bends at Ockendon Gary Farmers charges are all looking impressive (I dunno how he handles so many dogs), Morpheous (Burt Madgewick) ran well as did Sarah's Seven Eleven...

I'm confident the SE WRC will be well represented next week at Stainforth.

See you all there.

Racing took place at Thurrock today 4 December for our yearly Christmas Hamper event plus trialing :-

Gary Farmer was there trialing his pups after his seven hour journey to Easington on Saturday (how,s that for dedication).

Although Paul Houghton isn,t quite well enough to participate yet Tom Byrnes kindly brought Paul's young 9-1/2 month old pup to the club who is half brother to Red Reign and he certainly looks as though he could have another winner on his hands, which along with his beautiful baby girl should be a terrific tonic to him.

A good turn out of dogs made for a good meeting with racing being run in 4lb weight groups :-

20lb She's a Gem pup (Gem's Lad x Swift Gem) 16lb 2nd Mick's Gem 3rd pup Hot Rod 17lb (Gem's Lad x Swift Gem) 24lb Spirit of the Stag 2nd Over the Moon 3rd Raving Rooney's Gem 28lb Gem's Lad ht. wnr O.B.2. 32lb Everley Lad pup (Gem's Lad x Swift Gem).

Scratch winner Bigland Fred ht. wnr. Stag Possessed.

First and second in each class received either a bottle of Champagne or Christmas Hamper.

By the way Christine you should have had a bottle for Over the Moon I will keep it on ice for you.
