Maureens Angel


Put quite simply this was the fastest away bitch I have ever seen. Her sire Roanokee is renowned for this trait and it was never more evident than this lady. She ran up the 2003 NW Oaks in Lifford just getting beat on the line by another great bitch Kincraig Brindle after leading for 524 yards! Interestingly her 28.46 is still the second fasted run for the 525 in Lifford and the fastest by a bitch. Her sectional of 2.59 is the second fastest ever recorded, watching her that night it looked as if she has been launched out of the traps with a catapult. She just couldn't quite see out the very tough 525 in Lifford, I would have loved to have seen what she would have done around Cork or Limerick. This lady ran against and beat the quality of the following bitches; Kincraig Brindle, Greenlough Slip, Axle Grease and Shalome.

She had a litter to Velvet Commander before she came to me. It was only a 2 dog litter, one is an open class sprinter at Hove and the other is a graded sprinter at Lifford. She has a litter to Premier Fantasy schooling at the moment and they have done everything right so far. P.F. was selected to double up on Im Slippy and to try and reinforce the early pace of the dam but to date P.F. has been throwing dogs that lacked a little early and stayed on, hopefully these pups can change the trend. She hasn't had a season since the Premier Fantasy pups some 14 months ago which is a little concerning as she was a nine month bitch but I'm sure nature will take its course. I have no decision made on a stud dog for this lady yet.

The picture above is of one of the dogs in the Premier Fantasy litter. Im really keen on him and his schooling has been exceptional to date.
