The dog advertised here by Ryles-Kennels a few months back, and quite a few of the G/Room have a share in, makes his race debut at Tweed Heads on Saturday -

1 Club Banora Maiden Heat 1
M 1.15 420m

1 REMEMBER SANDY D CRATES First Start
2 SAND BUNKER J PERRETT (Q) 8 Starts. 0-3-0
3 SPECIAL OFFER RC COOKE First Start
4 LUCY'S IMAGE J DART First Start
5 AULBER HOUSE P FELGATE First Start
6 DISCO DANCER M JOHNSTON First Start
7 CHINDIA J FALVEY 4 Starts. 0-0-1
8 FORMER LEIGH WHITMORE & THOMSON 1 Starts. 0-0-0

Apparently he has blistering early speed, so hopefully a forward showing will be on the cards as the lad kicks off his career...






Gooooooooooooooooooooo Bundy!

i wonder if we rang the course at the time of the race could we hear the call ?

do we send money up ? (mighty tiger 79 is up there atm)

theres some contact info on the website, also says they post results there as they happen...

probably best to get in contact with the trainer if you wanted some $$ on....

BAYMAN
Forget about backing it with the Bookies
I was at the track last year and there were 2 dog Bookmakers
Both opened up at about 200% + each race
The final SPs averaged out to about 160-175%

The track is called Border Park
Its actually on the border of NSW + QLD
The track is off this street
On one side is QLD
The other side is NSW
Ironically the QLD side was on water restrictions from a drought when I wuz there
The NSW side was not !!!!
Also when there is daylight saving one side is 1 hour faster or slower than the other


I arrived there for a meet paid to get in and could only see about 20 people
I thought how could they charge admission for this dive
I walked into the auditorium complex and was astounded
They have about 100+ computers on course showing market changes and quins/trifecta approximates for the Saturday horse races
All these pensioners typing away on the puters was startling
The food was cheap
The Bookies were nice
The staff were helpful
Punters were great
One old fella showed me how to use the computer !!!!
Just a wonderful place
One of the very best courses Ive been to around Australia

Yes Im in the Remembering Sandy syndicate
This dog was named appropriately
RYLES-KENNELS put thru this name for a friend that he had who passed away
This is a tribute to Sandy
Someone I have never met, but feel privalleged that this dog name passes on her legacy

As for the dog

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the champ


PS
If it was a TAB meeting it would make no difference
I couldnt back it
the way DUTCHY/BAYMAN/MT79 bet the dog would end up paying a $1-10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

point no 1, your not trying to keep it for youself ?

point no 2, i know where it is it i just up the road from grafton & the town gets its name from the river up there

point no 3, aren't $1.10 your odds ?

but as they say any price a winner

good luck lads..... being a wide runner Im not sure the rails will suit tho.....

Speaking of $1.10 favourites and Late Mals - where was the late Mal on this race on NSW Tab UK racing tonight??

the 12 must have been some value looking at the quaddy and the dd

currently some stormy weather up here lads

not too sure on the drainage of the track but would suggest it will be severely rain affected

you up there? you in the sydnicate? you going to watch? we expect a full review!

from the Bundy forums -

BUNDY 2ND

Winner went 24.07
Bundy went 24.69
Margin : 8 3/4L x 1 1/4L

He Jumped last so must of stormed home.

sluggish early

took a while to balance up and get wound up

once wound up he extended nicely, easily coering the rest of the field

well done to all involved

on another note

a shame the Gold Coast track is being demolished

lovely track and facilities along with cheap beers.

Reports filtering thru from Wattosland

Bundy missed the start by about 10 lengths
Last on the turn, took a gap and flassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshed home
2ND
Made up 15-20 lengths on the winner

hmn...

stayer perhaps like texas gold or for our vintage mal bold trease

Tenthill Doll running home in <12.60?

This was Bundy's very first run in a full field. Only ever been around with one other dog in trials. Was also the first time he had ever been led out of the boxes so to see his reaction to this happening was very pleasing. The fact he chased hard and got past all but 1 of the dogs in front of him was great. Also with the winter cup carnival being held at Albion Park at the moment all the top trainers have taken up their second string dogs and their top pups so they can raid the country tracks while they are up there. Hence P.Felgate and co having quite a few dogs in at Tweeds at the weekend.

In the end Bundy has run a nice 2nd on debut and has been vet checked and has pulled up 100% fine. He will only benefit from the experience of his first race and will only get better as he gets fitter.

Due to the heats of the Galaxy being run this Saturday at Tweed Heads. Bundy will now be racing in the Maiden Final on Monday 9th June!

GEOFF!

HA! well my horse is running Sat @ Cheltenham, other Dog running Sunday @ Sale and Budny Running @ Tweed Heads on Monday....3 days 3 different states!
