Sometimes you have cause in this game for genuine excitement and in Viking Legend, (was called Bluestack Legend) we have an exciting prospect. He is a full litter brother to Fifs Legend who was the fastest qualifier (and advised ew at 20-1) in the heats of the Henlow Puppy Derby.
We are in good shape now, Boyneside Banty is flying on the schooling track, Viking Cheryl is an exciting puppy and we have Paddy Ya Boy, Prestonaintalkin’, Farloe Elder and the new addition Ballymac Sally who are genuine open class performers.
This week is exciting. Viking Cheryl is in action at Yarmouth in the Betdaq Premier League (Sky ch 433 freeview) on Saturday. Paddy Ya Boy is in a sprint at Nottingham Monday and Farloe Elder and Prestonaintalkin run at Sheffield Tuesday.
The only disappointing aspect is the conduct of others! We bought Ballymac Sally and agreed a price, paid the money in good faith and was told that the required signed transfer authority to register her with the GBGB would be handed over with he bitch. It wasn’t and now we are getting the run around and I have told the trainer where we got her from that I am not prepared to be taken for an idiot and it either gets sorted or I have my money back. There is only one way to play things and that is with a straight bat. It happens time after time with the paperwork. So it is not definite that Sally will be running for us, shame as she is a nice bitch.
I can’t wait to see Legend on the track, and I will ask Jim about taking him to the Monmore Puppy Derby! Watch out for Banty and also young Viking Katie who is now qualified. She will have to grade on and go through the grades but she is such a good looking dog I would be amazed if she isn’t decent! Its looking good for Viking.
