Aoife and venture both requalify

Kilhoran aoife and venture both headed for tralee today to requalify them after there spell on the sidelines i had given them a couple of gallops last weeks just to blow away the cobwebs and i was delighted how both of them ran
Aoife pinged the lids in a 2 dog trial and won easily by 10 lengths in a decent 18.26 i was sure that 18.06 was called out on the public address but the text i got this reads different anyway suits me...lol
Kilhoran venture was in a 3 dog trial with 2 very experienced race dogs and to be fair he held his own for a dog only having his 3rd spin from a box he checked up a little at the first bend when he was amongst them but other that that i was very happy i actually thought he had got 2nd in his trial on the run in but turns out that he finished 3rd i would have bet money that he got up for 2nd but again the text says different..lol he finished 3rd beaten a total of 5 1/2 lengths in a quick time of 17.82 so he was clocking a very decent time of 18.20
There was no sign of cramping from the dog which i was pleased with but he has drank a good share of water this afternoon and evening but in general he is a good dog to drink from the pan so I'm not overly concerned
The real work will start with these 2 now and both will be running in approximately six weeks all going to plan
I have a kennel full of healthy greyhounds for the first time in ages and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in with them
Aughcastla adam is due to run Friday night in tralee and I'm hopeful he will be primed enough to break his duck he has ran 4 races to date and every one of them has been won in sub 29 seconds How unlucky can you get!!!
Dineenos lad is due to contest the first round of the a3 broadway pet foods sweep in galway Saturday night and is in top form after coming out of his trial really well last Wednesday night he is ready to run a big race i hope!!
