Albion Flyer (Sun 30th Jan)

[Trigger]

After his spectacular win last week, NSC's very own Albion Flyer will be moving up to A6 grade and racing at Hove this Sunday at 11.43, this will be tougher than his last race but here's hoping for another win and for 'Benny' to return safely for some well earned food!

Trigger what grade did he run in 1st time out ?

 

[Trigger]

(A7).

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Come on you stripes!

 

[sam86]

I sorta mentioned this before the whole thing kicked off, but want happens with the winnings? Do you have a split with the trainer? What is the split? When you 'budgeted' for the dog, did you put aside some 'winnings', or is all winnings a bonus?

Just interested, like.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Will he be doing a lap of honour at Withdean after the last game of the season?

In broad terms as I understand it:

You get a minimum amount money everytime it runs, the monthly contributions from the members plus this covers the trainers and kenneling costs. Coming first or second in a race should leave a bit of a profit to go into the fund to give a buffer for any vets costs and maybe a further dog purchase one day.

Will he be doing a lap of honour at Withdean after the last game of the season?

That would be brilliant!

 

[Trigger]

We shall make it happen, half time of the last home game.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

We shall make it happen, half time of the last home game.

YAY!

 

[Trigger]

YAY!

We shall also get that tight arse Bloom to part with a few quid for a new BHA Dog Coat for our little fluffy hero, he'll have to look good for the occasion.

Thats about the long and the short of it. He's a pup with loads of potential, and hopefully will continue to rise through the grades.
As has been said before and is echoed by all in the syndicate, the emphasis on this is to have fun and for the dog to go home safe and sound every week

 

[mistahclarke]

came second today if anyone got a bet on, started at 4-1

Great run ... bit unlucky ... a couple more yards and he would have won

 

[Barry Izbak]

He did the stripes proud today. Beaten by a head.
Good turn out from the syndicate members and those (of us) with The Flyer in the forecast were particularly happy.

 

[Art Vs Science]

Well, seems a good start for The Flyer. 1-2 form so far

 

[Gazwag]

Going to put some photos from today on the Greyhound thread in a bit
