Wow - just heard that he won again! Two races, two wins and a really improved time! The Westmead dog was second and was favourite as I expected. This is a really good effort from GO BLONDE POKER I'm off to see him next week so will give him a big pat on the head!!

I know, it's comical. 3/1 is the rag of the field! Unfortunately it's pretty standard in Irish racing - In England if a dog finds a load of time the trainer gets called before the stewards to explain, in Ireland they all pat you on the back and say "good job, well done". Our dog found over 80 spots and if that happened in England I'd probably get a fine for time finding.

...and would the fine be justified?

Nah lol.

The reality is that the young dogs are still getting used to racing when they first start off and with some the penny drops and they suddenly show a big improvement. I really did not expect this dog to improve the way he has, but when you look back at the long list of injuries he's had (he's the canine version of Darren Anderton), he now seems to be thriving on a period of being injury free.

Next stop Enniscorthy on Monday night! This wasn't really planned, but I have another dog racing in Ireland called Robeen Rogue and we have planned to run him in a competition starting Monday night. We hadn't considered running Go Blonde Poker in it, as we didn't think he would be good enough and in all honesty we wouldn't bother running him if we weren't taking the other fella, who is probably our main hope. However, his last run really surprised us so we'll give it a go but he's up in class significantly and it's more a case of hope than expectation.

On top of all that, I'm flying over tonight for the weekend so will bok him big time!

Thanks Dawn I fly in tonight and fly back Sunday so it will all be a bit rushed. We'll find a race down in Cork soon, and then have a night out from there!

Lenny suffered his first defeat on Monday, up in class he didn't lead and got a bump at the first bend. No worries though, he is a bit sore but will be back again soon. I had a nice couple of days with the dogs last weekend, and as you'll see Lenny looks on great form!
Also Steve the trainer has signed up onto the Blonde forum so maybe he'll pop on and say hello soon.
