Viking Reaches Young Guns Final

February 21, 2012 By

Viking Cheryl has reached the final of the Young Guns Competition at Sheffield next Tuesday evening….

Cheryl reaches Young Guns Final

She was away well but took a huge bumps at the first bend that put her back in the pack. She battled back to qualify third. It was her first run at the track and she will come on for it. The winner of the second heat Farloe Warhank looks a dog out of the top draw and in trap one will take some beating!

Draw for next week’s Final: 1 Farloe Warhawk, 2 Russanda Grant, 3 Russanda Phil, 4 Viking Cheryl (m), 5 Dunham Collier (m), 6 Flashes Jet (w).

Doncaster Tonight Live on Premier Sports

February 10, 2012 By

DONCASTER GREYHOUND RACING- THE PREMIER LEAGUE

All being well we have two runners on the Doncaster card, which is on TV Sky Channel 433. It is also the Betdaq Premier League.

Doncaster Greyhound Stadium Betting Tips

Our Dogs….

8-15 Doncaster Trap 3, Viking Cheryl
Our Super bitch, she won here on debut.  She could win this BUT the going isn’t great and she has been short of work with this weather.

8-45 Doncaster Trap 4 Ballymac Sally
She is a good staying bitch and has class, but again the going is questionable!

In short – have a chance but no bets is our advice. Watching brief.

The Betdaq Premier League….

8-30 Doncaster Trap 2 Tricky Chuggy – if it leads it wins he is a track specialist and will not be caught!

9-45 Doncaster Trap 2 TUDOR PRINCE – MAX BET. Did a great trial and is a top class dog. Will be hard to catch!

10-00 Doncaster Trap 1 FLEETING IMAGE – big chance BUT this dog has to lead! Would be a max bet BUT is a bit quirky!

Good Luck

Max Bet Lands Henlow Ante-Post Gamble – EASY!

February 8, 2012 By

COOLAVANNY BERT bolted up in what were arctic-like conditions to make the Primus Telecom Puppy Derby more of a parade as he landed Henlow’s £10,000 Category One. It was Easy!

Coolavanney Bert Lands Henlow Max Bet

Trained by Kelly Findlay Coolavanney Bert went off the 1-3 favourite and he broke well from trap one and that was it game-over as soon as he got to the lead.

Advised ante-post at 7-4 he won all his three rounds and there was never a moment’s doubt! JOB DONE!

Free Tips For Henlow Live on Sky Sports Tuesday 7-30pm

February 7, 2012 By

Tonight Greyhound Racing from Henlow is live on Sky Sports and our Primus Telecom Puppy Derby bets are in action;

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PUPPY DERBY IS NOW AT 8-15pm and NOT 9-45pm as advertisied! Brought forward due to freezing forecast!

8-15  Henlow Puppy Derby…

Coolavanney Bert was advised as a Max Bet at 7/4 to win the Puppy Derby and is now 1-4 (Hills) and has a huge chance. He won his last heat close to the track record and only trouble at the first bend can stop us winning this”!

Second Fav is Fifis Legend who we advised at 20-1 Each-way and is now 5-1. He is a good dog and could be the one to benefit if trouble.

We should collect on both bets! We hope!

FREE GREYHOUND BETTING TIPS FOR HENLOW…..

**MAX BET**

20-35 Henlow TRAP 4 WESTMEAD SHAW – trained by Nick Savva who is based at Henlow and this dog is fast. Has an open race win with 27-40 on its card and is 5/4 with Bet365 early. Take it it will go! Its an odds on chance!

**MAX BET**

20-00 Henlow TRAP 1 FLEETING IMAGE – trained by Kelly Findlay, excellent trainer and trainer of Coolavanney Bert. This dog will be too good and is the second bets bet of the night after Coolavanney Bert.

**VALUE BET**

20-15 Henlow TRAP 6 BLACKROSE BOSS – has good Henlow form. The 1 dog is trained by Charlie Lister and is automatic favourite, which often justified is not here and the 11/4 about the 6 is value.

Good Luck.

Busy Weekend For Viking Dogs!

February 3, 2012 By

A Busy Weekend, With Runners at Donny and Sunderand on Saturday.

Of course next week is the Betdaq Premier League at Doncaster on 10th February.  We have several trailers this weekend. In terms of runners;

Saturday 4th February;

DONCASTER:

20:19 Trap 1 Preston Bullit – would like to see him win, he is a young dog and easily capable of it but has been disappointing. Again can’t advise a bet but hopeful.

20:53 Trap 3 Preston Run – she has a chance but can’t advise a serious bet as she is just coming back from a break. Last week she was in with one that was a good thing, so this week she has a decent chance!

21:27 Trap 4 Viking Katie – first run for this pup. Could be overfaced in this grade which is always going to be the case as far as the owners are concerned. I can’t see though how this is right. She will be much better in time but she is exceptionally young.

**MAX BET**

22:18 Trap 5 Boyneside Banty – much better than these. We are sponsoring the race and we should pick up here. The only negative is he has not galloped this week due to frozen track, but same for all of them! Should be far too quick!

Consistency Runs at Sunderland

SUNDERLAND:

19:37 Trap 4  Consistency – I genuinely think Consistency will win this race! He likes Sunderland. Not a strong race and he ran Sunderland really well the other day!

Max Bet Bert Looks Value Now at 7/4

February 3, 2012 By

When the Henlow Puppy Derby kicked off a couple of weeks ago we advised COOLAVANNY BERT as a max bet which was on ofer at 7/4. He won his heat after trouble but on Thursday night he went close to the track record and looks unbeatable.

Picture from Racing Post - Click for report

This is what the Racing Post says about the heats (click here) we just say WOW!

The final is Live on Sky Sports on Tuesday evening. Its Game Over for us as Bert gets the one box! They line up as follows;

1 Coolavanny Bert, 2 Fifis Legend, 3 Droopys Stevie, 4 Millwards Boom, 5 Droopys Edmund, 6 Benkaat Blue.

Fifis Legend looks good and we have his litter brother Viking Legend! We also advised Fifis Legend as an each-way bet to win at 20-1. I suggest Bert will be long odds on to win it now!

Viking Announces Sponsorship at Doncaster Greyhound Stadium

February 1, 2012 By

Viking Racing has today agreed to sponsor a race every week throughout February and March at Doncaster Greyhound Stadium. The race will be an A1 race, every Saturday, Sponsored by Vikingracing.co.uk.  We are delighted to support Doncaster Greyhound Stadium, where we have several dogs with Jim Hayton.

Last night we had three runners at Sheffield andFarloe Elder ran flat, Ballymac Sally ran very well and Prestonaintalkin’ didn’t finish. We thought the worse but happily he only pulled a muscle and will be fine after a rest!

We have a runner at Sunderland, Consistency, who runs in an open on Saturday.

Doncaster stages the next round of the Betdaq Premier League….

3 Runners Sheffield On Tuesday (Opens)

January 30, 2012 By

We have had a bit of sickness in the Kennel but Jim Hayton feels our runners tomorrow are fine, our new dog, Ballymac Sally, gets a run over 720 metres which may be a bit far!

Owlerton Sheffield Greyhound Stadium

3 Runners at Sheffield Owlerton Greyhound Stadium for Viking Racing

Runners;

20-14 Sheffield Trap 6 Farloe Elder – nightmare of a race, cant see him winning at all. Trap 1 I think is a good thing.

21-02 Sheffield Trap 2 Ballymac Sally – over a long trip so lets see if she stays! Not sure she will that far.

21:17 Sheffield Trap 2 Prestonaintalkin has a good chance but has been a bit flat so cant advise a bet.

Sick Dogs!

January 29, 2012 By

Cheryl ran below par and the dogs at Doncaster didn’t run their times. Perhaps the fact that there is sickness in the kennel today explains it! Sadly Paddy won’t run at Nottingham on Monday and Preston and Farloe maybe not at Sheffield on Saturday.

We plan to go to Sunderland next week and I have one up in the North East, of my own, that should also get a run there! Lets hope they are all OK.

The Max Bet Local Deejay from the Kelly Findlay kennel won well and put the Dunham team, of which Jim is a member in the running.

Kelly Findlay

Running totals going forward to the third round at Doncaster:
Imperial Rock Its 52.5, Team Desperate 51, Dunham Devils 48.5, Team North East 47.5, The Mad Hatters 35.5, Irish Raiders 29.

Don’t forget Jim has the dogs that know Doncaster and of his dogs we can point to ours;
Prestonaintalkin’ can do 29:54
Viking Cheryl 29:58
Paddy Ya Boy 29:60
Farloe Elder 29:68
Banty – sub 30secs

In my view you should get a bet on the Betdaq Premier League and back the Dunham team to win it. Be a great night of Dog Racing thats for sure!

We Welcome Viking Legend

January 28, 2012 By

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.

Cheryl at Yarmouth Saturday 28/1/12

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.
