TESTING SKILL





SIRE Solve The Puzzle
47 starts 25 wins, 9 placings



DAM Complicated
67 starts : 9 wins, 23 placings


Timmy as hes known at :Red Runner: seems to have settled right in at home as he goes about his style of life witch is rest ,rest and a bit more rest

He is a lovely formed boy of around 28kgs with a out going attitude once out side of his kennel.

He is a black dog with a lovely white chest and looks like he may be a bit better with a tad more grams weight wise.

Weather permitting i think Timmy will be takeing a visit to the beach with his buddy Pipi

A big thanks to all ur help so far and in what will hopefully be many years of training greyhounds on behalf of PTT.

I am a complete novice regarding dogs so apologies in advance if I ask questions which are silly.

I noticed you quoted the dogs weights of 26kg and 28kg - do you expect they would be a bit heavier when it comes to racing time?

Also I notice looking in formguides most dogs are around the 30kg altho it varies from 25 to 36. Being on the smaller side of most dogs would it mean they are susceptible to getting checked/pushed around? or is it more on the dogs balance and trackability?

great to take a look at them from the pics , cant wait to check them out with my own eyes i to am new to the dog racing and might also ask wat might be silly questions at times but im a quick learner !! 8) and look forward to racing these ones and many more

ohh and my pic is of my dog kensyl and he is fast !! fast at smashing his dinner down !!! :pig:

Day Dell,

When it comes to racing they will be a few grams lighter as i feel they have a lot of improvement fitness and strength wise and they will have a swim train run programe set for them over the next 5 months to off set the WAs tempratures.
They will all loose around another 500grams over the next week &1/2.

Depends how the dogs pattern of racing ends up della but over all i would say like most sports that the smaller sized runners do seem to get pushed a bit more than the 30+ dogs and bitches but can also be as nippy to off set this sea soar.

My Thoughts
Timmy does need a fair bit of fitness and strength behind him as well witch is a great indication for my self of plenty of room for improvement over the following months.

He him self does need a tad more weight on him but this must be done in a different process over around the next 2 months in which we will look for more muscle definition as well as cardio work for his breathing. MaY have to hit you guys up for some 30+ sun screen as i feel this boys going to be doing plenty of laps in the ocean.

His body conformation is not as good as his sisters but nothing that will stop a dog winning its just some are put together better than others.
Take Beyonce for eg

What Now
From here on in it looks like he will be doing most of his early work and routine along with his sister and they should be heading to the track some time next week for a post to post.
In between these harder works they will be balanced along as individuals and trained accordingly to there progress and weight requirments.

just to let you know pipi and timmy are off to cannington tommorow for a post to post.

will keep you posted on how they go :D

is that just where they go take a look at the track and have a jump out ?

Yes that is right Rompz.
They should run around 7 - 8 oclock

g'day , how did the two dogs go with jump out ?

wENT well Rompz.
So far they are coming along just fine and he seems like he needs futher head work as he still is a tad imature which can be expected of the younger crops.
This does not worry me as he is still quiet mature with his age but seems he will benefit a lot from futher education as time goes by.
He chases hard and will line up today over 405m with his sister in which they will go 2 out and finish on the bag.
They will be heading to Canno again on Sat to have another run.

great left a post on despo thread about coming down and saying hello

TESTING SKILL

His run was exctly the same as his sisters time wise down to the hundreath of a second except for this time he worked home stronger than his sister which was a to me.
As you seee from his sisers report, the track was iffy and again tonight the times were less than impressive except for a Box 8 winner trained by yours truely in which the time was expected as stated in todays racing raio intervciew.
Now back to timmy...
He will follow the same routine as his sister for the time being and next trial i will be twice as kenn to see who comes out on top.

They will start when i feel they have the right breathing and weight ratio as well as times on the board.
Lets not forget these are as fragile as the 2 yr old colt and must be treated as individuals in which these 2 need another few weeks.

Good things come to thoise that wait im ready to make sure you guys start with a bang.

Timmy ,timmy ,timmy
Straight to the problem with Timmy.. which is imaturity to this stage.
After not wanting to par take this arvo in the trials i had to take a different approach wich stated to me the obvious ... he needs maturity

Saying that he had a realy good trial after being slipped from the 405m and a run home.
He was the better looker of the day takeing nothing from his sister but he did seem to take the next step needed this arfternoon.

He will go for a swim/short hit out with awalk on the sat to be concluded with a post to post the following Monday at Cannington.

Will be good to see how they compare together then.

Watch out Pip

Will go over the 405m tonight before heading to Canno for a post to post

Hows the boy going ? Is he starting to show some promise ?

Still green and in nedd of futher training .
Will be going over 405m tommorrow at Mandura and will be ready for a post to post at Canno the week after.
Other wise he is coming along ok and as sound as a fiddle

Was left at home yesterday from trials due to shitting threw the eye of a needle.
Is on some protexin now and should be fine in 48hrs

will be going against his sister on Monday night at Mandurah @ 6oclock

Missed the kick badly and will pay to forget the run.
Did work well in the middle stages of the gallop and worked the last half of the race quiet well.

Will be going around Sat or next Monday
