Hove Trials and Races

Hanover Lady went well in her sprint trial on Monday and is running in a D1 (top grade sprint) on Thursday night.  Oscar (Lima Oscar) also put in a practice round Monday, and will be joining Wendy, so both club dogs will be featuring  on Racing Post TV (Sky 231).  Oscar, of course, runs over the standard trip.

Droopys Leonard runs on Friday lunchtime BAGS (12.42pm) in an A3 from trap six. A bold show is expected.

Horse Outside gets a run from trap three  in the A4 9.07pm on Saturday. I’d struggle to make a case for our black and white on his recent runs and from this box – still I’ve been proven wrong before (2007 June 12th, I thought it would rain that day).

Fleetwood Rocker (Woody) seeks a follow up to last week’s spectacularly thrilling win in the 10.30, A3. The handicapper has not penalised last week’s win though this seems a tougher heat with pacey Puma Girl in trap three, rating a big threat.

All five of our ‘ready’ club dogs out over the weekend – welcome to Hove!

Caption Competition

Norah had a laugh judging the competition on Wednesday afternoon, an honourable mention to Gary Maunders who came up with: The Norahmac Fly Trap – every home should have one.

But top honours, and first prize of twenty four of the Queen’s pounds, goes to club member Nigel Roberts with the caption: (Norah singing) ‘All you need is Hove’

Thanks to all who took part – it certainly provided a chuckle at the kennels on a wet and windy afternoon! The picture and all the entries are on the noticeboard in the Owners Lounge until Sunday.
