Thursday see's a return to action for both Topstar Honcho and Advantage Johnny at Perry Barr, Johnny will trial before racing and Star will take in a division of the 480M Open Standard at 8.53pm that is on the card.

Both dogs have suffered a bit of late with little niggles which is frustrating given their capability, but I suppose that's how it goes in this game sometimes and after their respective runs tomorrow evening we should know a lot more as to how they have progressed over the last couple of weeks.

Big Chief and Questhouse Em are both likely to have a trial in the not to distant future which should be interesting and gives our members plenty to look forward too. Niether will be rushed and a lot will depend on the weather and were trials will be available due to the Christmas period being upon us very soon, but both will be seeing a racetrack prior to the New Year.

I spoke to Marie Baker our Schooler in Ireland recently and made arrangements for Storming Hawk to join her in the first week of March 2010, which is strange as it only seems like yesterday that we picked him and named him, this year really has flown by!

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone of our members, associates, our breeder, trainers and kennel staff a very Merry Christmas and a very Prosperous New Year.
