I think it is great that there are so many younger trainers that are doing so well.  It is great to see that they ignore all the negativity that there is in our industry and just get on and do a good job.  Well done and keep up the good work.

We would like to confirm that Dream Collector is almost certainly heading to retirement after his injury yesterday.  The x-rays still have to be reviewed by another vet.  We are still in the process of deciding on his retirement plans but it is highly likely to be in in New Zealand.
 
The team here at Balcairn are gutted as he is a character at our kennels.
 
Thanks to all those who have "advice" for us regarding whether or not he should have raced yesterday, just like any trainer that has had a greyhound receive a career ending injury we have reviewed our decision  but unfortunately we can not change the past. 
 
I can confirm he was fit enough and did not have any injuries. going into the race.
 
Thanks to all those who have supported us with their kind words.

A good run, looked like he was wanting to get off the fence most of the way but got no real room, a big run under the circumstances, just a lack of experience probably cost him 3rd, he has a big future alright.
They made the right decision in sending him over there, the track and the racing over the ditch is in a diffrent league to the joke they call NZ racing, looks an amazing night.

I was out with the hounds at our place yesterday with our 4 year  old granddaughter Anna when I realised I needed a brush to give them a groom. I returned to a nearby shed to get the brush and when I returned to the dogs Anna was perched up on a fencepost with all the dogs lined up in a row wide eyed and studying her. I asked what are you doing Anna to which she replied giving them a lesson. I then asked what the lesson was about and she replied they had to run fast at the track , not get dirty and not get diarrhoea!!!!
