MONDAY THE 8TH OF JULY
We are not trialing in Shelbourne park today, we have trials booked for Thursday 11th of July at Kilkenny. We are taking 24 hounds. We started worming every hound in the place. We will also trim all their nails as well along with giving them a bravecto tablet. The weather was good. We got all the paperwork posted off and the day went well. There was no open racing last night in the UK but Swift Depot did fastest time of the year bat Yarmouth.
ON THE OPEN RACES SCENE IN THE UK WE HAD TWO WINNERS YESTERDAY AT THE VALLEY DUBAI KID AND AT CRAYFORD SWIFT SAPID.
TUESDAY THE 9TH OF JULY
We have hounds that are sold to go to the UK so we will have to get the paperwork organized. We had heavy rain overnight. As we do the journal at 10 am it’s raining again so there will no outside work today. We have broods in season so stud dogs will have to be picked and we have bagged dog food on the way so that will have to be packed away.

Friday was a very busy day. We cut the grass in the rearing paddocks and we changed the beds in the houses of the rearing paddocks. We finished off the nail trimming, worming and flea prevention.
