It was a great night at Doncaster for Viking Racing as Preston Run landed a gamble, backed from 5/2 in to 7/4 and getting up on the line to score.
It was a big week for Viking with Eden Star landing a mighty ante-post touch, advised to members of the club, when winning the Betfair Laurels live on Sky. Another tip that scores!
Preston Run
Paddy Ya Boy and Boyneside Banty trialed at Belle Vue and will be entered in a puppy competition that starts Thursday. Paddy clocked 27.99 for his first look, very pleasing!
One not of disappointment, Doncaster did not put up any of our Dogs for the big St Leger final night live of Sky. Despit having 7 or 8 dogs that run week in and week out, and having done trials at 29.54 and 29.57, with Prestonaintalkin’ last time out contesting a Grade 2 final, they were deemed not good enough! The prize money at Doncaster week in week out isn’t as good as many tracks, Preston Run last night won £40 and the run money is only £15, AND as an owner you have to pay to get in to watch your dogs. In contrast to other tracks where not only is admission free but you are given food and drink! As owners we can feel very hard done by to not have a dog on the track.
Viking Cheryl has not been able to trial as the paper work submitted to Doncaster has gone “missing”. One may say that this is an absolute shambles. Last week I wrote to the track complaining that our dogs are being raced against each other.
