HOWARD'S PUZZLE

Guest

If she's the chaser we think she is then she can still win from box 8! That was the box she flew out of that time when she almost led in the fastest sectional she's had in WA. It was also the box where she missed the kick by about 10 lengths!
I'd say 8 is a better box than 7, at least there isn't anything outside her. Still expect her to place in that field.

TOTALY AGREE buddy

A better time last night. She's still costing me a packet on the punt but any owner would be happy with 2/2/8/2 for the last four starts, as opposed to when she first started racing here.

It was a good feeling to see her backed into even money favourite, shows that Zoe is earning some respect.

I'm sure she is close to her first win, just needs a good box draw. It's well and truly overdue!

Thanks for all your efforts and perseverence with Zoe, Paul. It's great that she is remaining injury free too!

Guest

The racebook tipster doesn't have Zoe in his first four selections! The 1 dog looks to be the favourite. Hopefully Zoe runs another solid race because I'm definitely looking forward to seeing her step up in distance in the future. The outcome of this race will be determined in the first 50m, that's how I see it anyway!

How's she going Paul?

Going weel bud,
her track work this week has being solid and once again its a shame we couldnt draw closer.

We will be stepping her up after this week along as she DOESNT run 2nd.
If she does then ill be going 1 more over the 302m before stepping up in distances.

AS for injuries she is holding up real well and lets hope that she can start to get some luck and finish her races off.

Guest

Manage This checked Zoe pretty bad...that stupid dog can't run straight and of course our girl wanted the rail. At one point I paused the replay and Zoe's head was right against the track with her hind legs way up in the air, by the time she was back on all four legs she was four lengths last.

2 and 8 seem to be her numbers...could do with a 1, that's for sure!

I just hope she isn't injured. If she isn't, she's a pretty tough bitch!

Best case scenario would be not injured, a race over the 405 from box 1.

Will catch up soon.

Isn't it ironic that Howard's Puzzle is from the Box 1 racing kennel but we can't get a box 1 draw?!

I screamed at the computer when I saw we drew out wide AGAIN! This is getting ridiculous...the dog in box 1 this time has had two box 1s and a box 2 in its last 3 starts...where's the justice in this world Paul?! Question

If she jumps out in front it's all over red rover! Great to finally draw pole position!

Is that why i didnt get a dissapointed text bud .
As u see you just have to wait in line and sooner or later the redski will come.
No crowing before she passes that line bud either Basketball

Guest

I am going to have a few closer friends if she wins and a few enemies if she loses! So that is good advice about the crowing before she passes the line! If she misses the kick by 8 lengths I'll go home a very unhappy man!

Should try training them and having to explain week in week out how the box draws are ment to be 50% in and out

But i guess you all ready know it doesnt work like that.
Restaraunt is booked for your self and family under our name.

Until then sleep tight and dont let the nerves get the better of you and with any luck tommorrow night you annd your clan may just get there first winner HOWARD'S PUZZLE - Page 3 839367

I can't believe the 2 jumped out as quickly as it did, but the 5 was too good. In saying that, I have no idea what Zoe was thinking switching out down the straight...if she had a jockey on her it would have been whipped to the line along the fence! Four seconds from last 7 starts!

Can a greyhound go from a 302 to a 492 or is that too big a jump in a week? I know we ran the 302 because they didn't place her in a 405 but I can't help but think she is crying out for even further. Would love to at least experiment with how she'd go over 492m. She's won over 515.

Any chance we could nominate for the 492, followed by the 405 next Thurs? I also think she might go alright at Northam but it's definitely a hike taking dogs there.

We're not far away with this girl, she's costing the punters but we still love her loads!

All i can say is that WE WILL RUN THE 492M out and if she runs a top 3 then it will with out a doubt be 1 of my best performances yet in which im growing a bigger smile by the minute.

If she wins we'll nominate you for Trainer of the Year...or Best Individual Training Performance.

However, if she comes last haha ....

I see your point about the quality of chaser in the grade 5 compared to the 4/5.

Would be nice if she could ping out and if there was a great big collision behind her, dogs flying everywhere haha

Only an owner could think like that!

I'll most likely watch this one from home, looking forward to seeing how she goes.

She has also be nomed for next Tuesday over the 492m

Guest

She's consistent...2nd or last, I'll give her that one.
