Moneyline has now qualified to race. Yesterday he won his three dog qualifying trial by 5 lengths in a smart 17.82 which puts him into N0. I'm glad he didn't go any quicker as he would have found himself in open class straight after his puppy race.
There is a 24 dog unraced stake starting next week in Lifford but it has probably come a fortnight too soon for the "Boss" as he has a belly nearly as big as my own at the minute and needs a lot more fitness work. I will get him checked over this weekend as he lost his footing on the bend and his trapping was a little tardy, although he was in the coffin box T6 which is nearly impossible to break from for some reason.
I'm still unsure of his best trap as he was outside yesterday and moved to the middle, previously he was put inside and moved out to wide, but he is still very inexperienced and this will become evident with time.
Once his fitness improves he will move up to 4 bends, which will suit him a lot better. He done all his running in the home straight yesterday and looked to be galloping stronger the further he went. The ground is currently waterlogged and galloping is not an option, the all weather gallop in Lifford is even closed the weather has been that wet.
