HARE RELEASE

Most of the Irish Cup hares were released back to the wild on Sunday .....those kept back to run in the Finals were released on monday morning.......as you can see from these two fellas hoping out the car.

All hares are released back to where they are captured

I thought you might be interested in hearing about  "the Boss"............

The Boss is the name given to one of this years hares.   Interestingly hes a "second season" hare........Tagged from last year!  Last year he was a "brown"  hare......this year he turned 3/4 white.

This distinctive colour made sure he was easily recognised and gave the hare husbandry boys a chance to watch his behaviour.  He stood apart from the others.....was very independent and always led the pack.

Joe checked last years records and they showed he was a good coursing hare.....This year  "The Boss" never let them down , he  is a good strong hare .....good enough to be kept back for the Finals.

Here he is at the Trials.....getting some practice in

And here he can be seen giving Uptown Don the slip in the Kyle James Puppy Stake Final.

The Boss captured every ones hearts and  all held there breath when he ran up the field.......No need to fear,  as this fella knows how to look after himself.

You can't help but be impressed with the condition of these hares........They all have great wide backs on them and gleam with health. 

Theres nothing better than watching this team at work with there hares.....they are first class 

Saying goodbye to the Boss for the last time... He was released into the exact same field he was captured in.

hes away

Will we see him back in Patrickswell next year I wonder

POEM

Its been a happy day .....Richard Newell has penned this little verse to celebrate the Green Party elimination from the Dial

Goodbye Mr Gormley, Goodbye all you Greens


We washed away your numbers and now we feel clean

Goodbye Mr Gormley, Goodbye all you Greens

Your policies were loopy and now your off the scene

Goodbye Mr Gormley, Goodbye all you Greens

You haven’t saved the planet you haven’t made it clean

Goodbye Mr Gormley, Goodbye all you Greens

You couldn’t fool the people with your Anti smoke screens



So I say farewell Mr Gormley, farewell to all you Greens

You are out the Dáil before you could ban my dish washing machine

So I say farewell Mr Gormley, farewell to all you Greens

The sun is shining bright today without your Anti extremes

What a Day

Coursing was good.....The stage is set for some great finals tommorow....good luck to all runners

Id just like to say goodbye to a few friends

 John Gormley.....Trevor Sargent.....Ó BROLCHÁIN, Niall......et all........bye bye

Please close the door and dont forget to turn off the lights


A few of my email buddys will be in tears today......what a shame......:-))

BLADES of GLORY

As I was in the area yesterday I took the chance to pop into see one of my fav bitches.....Blades of Glory.

Owner ,

Dennis Guiney with Blades of Glory

The last time most of us saw her was being transported away in the buggy after breaking her hock ...while in the lead of the Champion Bitch Stakeat Clonmel.   That sad day  is far behind her and it was good to see her in great form......shes just been mated and is hopefully in pup to Musical Time.
