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.

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.

Weekend Runners….Premier League for Cheryl

January 25, 2012 By

Cheryl Runs in the Premier League on Saturday (28th Jan)

A couple of weeks ago Viking Cheryl went all the way to Yarmouth (from East Yorkshire) only to be taken out at the first bend, her chance gone. She is only 19 months old, and won on debut in Open grade.

The good news is that she is in Trap 4 and the dog that took the others out is on her outside, not inside. She ripped a nail out in that first meeting, but has recovered. She should be fine now, Jim hand slipped her at Dunham and she was fine.

We also have a new dog, Ballymac Sally, which we purchased from Barry Draper’s kennel. She will run in opens and is going to be targeted at staying races.  We also have another syndicate dog that we cant say anything about at the minute, but we will shortly!  She will trial this weekend.

Runners at Doncaster – graded, should be out later today, Wednesday!

JImmy Lollie will not be licked

The greyhound of the year broke on terms but as they went round the first bend he went in to the lead and from then it was all over.

Five Point Maximum Bet Landed….Are you getting the BEST POSSIBLE ADVICE?

Blonde Fletch made it two from two on the night for our advice winning the stayers race, advised at 2/1. Viking Racing really has some of the best info in the business!
