CRAFTY HUGO

CRAFTY HUGO

Crafty Hugo is wasting no time establishing himself as the next hot sire.....following on from his Lochrea & Westport Double.  This weekend sees him follow up with  yet another win in Waterfords, Reserve  Trial Stake for Bridewell Crafty . And a runner up in the Dog Trial Stake in Gorey with Market Recover.

A great start by any standards but Hugo only has 4 litters on the ground

BUSY TIME

Its all non stop at the moment,  I had a great day at Gorey yesterday , Geoff heads back there with two of runners who are left in the Oaks and Bitch all age.  Im heading off for Thurles today and the morning looks a good one.

I must say Gorey CC have done a great job with the new field ............more work through the summer has lenghtened  the field and raised the slippers hut.....its a club that goes from strength to strenght with a hard working membership....well done.

PADDY FITZGERALD RIP

It is with great sadness I report the death of Paddy Fitzgerald (Adare). Paddy ,a  lifelong coursing supporter and constant companion of Pa Fitzgerald will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Fitzgerald family in this terrible time. Our thoughts are with you.

SALEEN O`CONNORS

I took the opportunity last week to drop in on the O`Connor family from Saleen.  It had been a glorious day at Abbeydorney and the evening was like summer when I arrived late afternoon.  Even though dogs were off to run at Limerick Track , the family still took time to show me round and feed me.

Theres a great family back up in this Kennel ,  Patrick holds the licence  , but a family member is never far away, with them all living next door each other.  Something that must be handy when theres multiple meetings to attend

First port of call....after a cup of tea! was to see Razor Ashmore,  he looks a picture and had a good gallop round the 10 acre paddock.

What a super dog this is.........looking forward to seeing his pups run this year...........although he only has 4 litters I'm sure well see something nice emerge once the ground softens up.

Razor Ashmore adores Jimmy and follows him everywhere

RAZOR LADY

dam of Razor Ashmore

There are some super pups and broods about the place...........Razor Ashmores dam ....Razor Lady is still in her prime and the kennel is looking forward to seeing some Belated Legacy pups out this season

Tynwold Smokey x Belated Legacy pups

the Gallops

There are two super gallops.....one is watered through the summer

once the rain comes a switch can be made to a fresh gallop.both had a fabulous cover of well maintained grass

next to this gallop you can see a ten acres fenced field for running pups in

IRISH CUP WINNER

SWANKY STAR

DERBY WINNER

Swanky Star was bought by Tom and a syndicate of 4 to win the Coursing Derby.....The rest is history!

The kennel is split between track and coursing and gets excellent results in both fields

GOLD SLIPALONG

Tom rated Gold Slipalong highly enough to use him at stud..........he has some outstanding pups in the paddocks

SALEEN RETURN who recently won the Harolds Cross Puppy Derby Consolation Final for the Kennelross Bookmakers Consolation Puppy Derby 

BELLWOOD PRINCE has a 28.22 on his card for Tralee and is a litter brother to Christmas Box

CHRISTMAS BOX

Hard to keep sound but described by Tom as the fastest dog hes had in the kennel

 Jimmy with Razor Ashmore and   Joe with his dam Razor Lady

Tom with brother Pat and Sinead Oconnor

To sum up this is a yard full of quality dogs run by a family who have made dogs their life. A huge investment has been made over the last few years in facilities . 
Anyone looking for a trainer for Field or Track should make Saleen their first port of call
The New Limerick Stadium is less than one hours drive

FERMOY RESULTS

 You can see photos from Fermoy on this site.....FERMOY PHOTOS CLICK HERE

Thankyou very much to Fermoy and Grange for putting on two superdays coursing.   Hard work was done by the club to combat the hard ground.............they did a excellent job and the ground was yielding without being slippy.  Hare were strong and gave the dogs a fair runaround and Nial Flynn,  back from injury this year was in great form in the slipping hut.....judging hares to perfection.

A GREAT WEEKEND

First of all a big thankyou to Michael McNamara for taking the time to video the coursing meetings and allowing us all to see them free of charge!  Everyone is very greatful.

And second a special mention must be said to two Family run kennels who had a great weekend!!

 The Crafty Kennels.......will be on cloud nine.........and deserve to be!!  A Bitch Stake win with Crafty Frazello and  Two Oaks Trial Stakes with Crafty Bonito and Crafty Toco......at the Lochrea & Westport meeting

 Interesting pedigree on these pups..........there dam, Crafty Divino is by track dog Roanokee and is a a 4x4 to Whisper Whishes.  The Sire of the Pups is Crafty Hugo.......a dog who is very special to the whole family.
A great payoff for the hard work put in.............as you know I was over there in the summer and the dogs were gleaming!!

CRAFTY HUGO

Hugo is standing at Stud and two TS winners so early in the season is a great start for him.



Another great Coursing Family were all smiles at Crohane............here it was the turn of the Condon Family who won both the All Age Bitch and the Oaks Trial Stake with home bred bitches out of Why Tanyard Jane.

Isnt this what coursing is all about ....Familys sharing a great day together
