Boom shake shake shake the room 💥 that’s job done see you next week. A massive thank you to Miss Maestro Hannah Fenwick for doing the impossible yesterday and driving our lad 690 miles round trip. That’s simply beyond the call of duty 🙏 but we won’t forget it. So very nearly a win yesterday @HoveRacing for Zenith Boom but just outlasted by super bitch Vhagar over a track and distance he’s never raced over before. In fact it’s easy to forget that Boom has only had 3, 6 bend races to date, and a couple of trials unofficially breaking the track record over 706m at Newcastle. He’s gone from 660 m Sheffield (never again it’s so tight round there) to 680 m Nottingham (much more like it) and then the real test of 740 m Hove yesterday. Add in the 690 mile round trip and the fact that he’s Sept 24 and hasn’t had a race in 3 weeks, so can’t be much happier with yesterday’s effort. What can we expect next week ? Amazingly he’s somehow drifted in the ante post market from 6/1 to 8/1 (he drifted in pre race from 2/1 to 9/1 too !) and now surely rates a fantastic bet. Looking at the times he’s left at least 20 spots to the winning line where he clocked a moderate 16.80. We would expect at least 16.60 if not even better and we think even though he was the second fastest home with 27.83 there’s at least 20 spots that way too, which means potentially expect a 40 spot improvement from his 44.63 yesterday, so the author believes he can do a 44.25 moving forward next week or in the final if he is lucky enough to get there. Teddies run was incredible with a 16.42 out but only a 28.11 home to finish on 44.53. She will improve no doubt too as it was her first look at this extended 6 bends. Ante Post favourite Vhagar ran really well all credit to her. Candolim Typhoon also running very well at present. But we wouldn’t swap ours for anything left in the 3 semi finals. Bring on Sunday 🚀 @therealiceonfi1 @fenwick_melanie @HannahFenwick13 @jaygc18 @BeamingKennels @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Zenith Racing runners for Sunday 25th October Anyone spotted Miss Maestro and Zenith Boom rolling from North to South so far this morning ? This may be the bravest/most foolish thing we’ve been a part of in over 40 years of ownership and we aren’t even driving ! Miss Maestro Hannah Fenwick, hats off to you young lady, for embarking on a journey not even seasoned truckers would relish ! The author has become an expert ferrying a horse trailer all around the Uk and Ireland and knows what it takes to get from a to b (a to z in this instance !) and the sat nav gives the time to destination at a maximum speed which is not even legal with animals on board. This 345 mile journey from the Toon to Hove cant be far short of 7-8 hours. Add the storm in on top, so this just shows the willingness of the Fenwicks to go that extra few hundred miles in search of another Cat 1 victory. Thank you Miss Maestro let’s hope it’s a worthwhile journey. I find a decent playlist and plenty of appropriate munch and liquids passes the time. So what’s all this about Boom then ? Is he any good ? You better believe he is. Today he is up against the marathon car journey, the fact that he’s never been around Hove, the fact that he’s only had 2 six bend races and he’s in with 3 other top top dogs. All that aside as Maestro always says, we need a top three finish today. If he is lucky enough to qualify today he will come on 6-8 lengths for the run for sure. Others have been ducking taking him on, so he’s been left with breaking track records unofficially whilst waiting for a race. Nottingham 680m should have gone in the race he was in but for a ridiculously short hare, and Newcastle 706m was well and truly dispatched last week, albeit in a trial. He’s only 2 years old so we want to gradually build up the distance, but over time we think he can be competitive in the extreme 8 bend races. This is just the hors d’oeuvre for his main 2026 target being the 850 yd at the Winter Racing Festival @shelbournepark on Nov 28th, so whatever he does @HoveGreyhounds is a bonus. People are asking is 6/1 value ? 16/1 Zenith Pasha each way for the St Leger remains the best bet of the year despite his short head defeat in the final. This 6/1 can go one of two ways. He qualifies today step 1 accomplished. The semi is only two to qualify unlike the St Leger so that’s a disadvantage but he can’t be in a harder semi final than today’s race with the outright favourite Vhagar, the useful Bella Bullet and even the dangerous Ballymac Madgie, so the semi will hold no fears. If he runs the way we know he can and gets to the final he will start favourite that’s our prediction. But hurdle 1 is to get there and then qualify in the first three and see the semi final draw after that. Naturally, shorter travelling distances to the midlands etc in weeks and months to come will be a massive advantage, let’s see if this is a bridge too far for one so young. It will be a massive honour to be in the final of the Ballyregan Bob, if we get there, who still is the best dog the author has seen live. A quick word on Ottoman who goes in heat 1. She has loved her two visits to Hove over 500 and 695 where she came second and third. Another tough heat but she could sneak a qualification. Final word on Jimbombom’s omission from the Gold Collar @HoveRacing looking through the card last night only 6 dogs have gone faster than his 29.19 effort albeit a few haven’t run at Hove but still his omission is well and truly noted for the future. Good luck team ☘️come home safe 🙏 (will be tomorrow in Boom’s case 🫣where’s that helicopter when you need it most ? ) @therealiceonfi1 @fenwick_melanie @HannahFenwick13 @jaygc18 @rhymeswitsnoopy @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Zenith Racing runners for Saturday 24th October It’s a day of firsts. First handicap runner with Efendi at the Toon @NewcastleDogs and first ever runner at Doncaster @donnydogs with Impact. Then it’s off to @Monmoredogs for Rocket Dazzler and Sultan. How many winners ? Let’s hope for more than zero ! Good luck team ☘️come home safe 🙏

Hey Miki you’re so fine you’re so fine you blow my mind hey Miki 💥🚀🥇💪🏼 Ok it’s the wrong artist as Mikmacker is named after soul crooner Michael McDonald and not Toni Basil who hit us with that annoyingly catchy tune in 1981 ! Zenith Mikmacker can we bottle up that will to win and give it to some of our other hounds ? That’s his 12th win in 32 starts at an extraordinary 37.5% win rate. Miki has the heart of a lion. He confused the hell out of the commentator too, who obviously was unaware that he doesn’t get beat when in front at the second bend, as the favourite loomed large at the third bend and Miki’s running style going wide off the last bend before powering home also added to the deceptive angle that the favourite had caught him. Not this week not ever Mr Commentator ! Well done Miki well done Jay (Maestro is on holiday but was caught peeking 👀 at his phone under the table at dinner ! ) Onwards and upwards and let’s get that song quickly out of our head on a Friday morning 🫣 @therealiceonfi1 @HannahFenwick13 @fenwick_melanie @jaygc18 @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK

If you could bottle Mikmacker's will to win you'd be a very rich man. What a hound 🧡🚀💥

Zenith Racing runners for Thursday 22nd October Starting off at the Toon @NewcastleDogs with one of our favourites the mighty Mikmacker with his heart of a lion 🦁 Scorpion 🦂 hasn’t done it yet but it’s only a matter of time. Good luck lads ☘️ come home safe 🙏

Zenith Jimbombom not worthy of a place in the 36 for the Gold Collar @HoveRacing Not here to cast doubt on any of the 36 that got in but there are plenty that wouldn’t be close to his times but what’s done is done and duly noted. Best of luck to all that got in. Supremo will find somewhere else to head no doubt in the future. Well done lad two wins in 10 days round Romford 575 has made it a good month. @rhymeswitsnoopy @MullinsRhianne @kellygutts @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK

Better get some coffee and figure out how many of the Gold Collar runners have done a better time round @HoveGreyhounds @HoveRacing than Zenith Jimbombom. Oh hes also the fastest dog @RomfordDogs this year wirh a 23.43, oh and he won tonight in a prep race for Sunday. But hes not good enough eh ? Yet you are happy to advertise Zenith Boom's participation and his 690 mile round trip today in the paper to attract entries. Poor showing to be honest. Will reconsider future entrants at Hove but more on this tomorrow. @JimCreminRP @Hobbsy67 @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Zenith Racing runners for Wednesday 21st October It’s the Jimbombom twins in the last race 🫣 sorry trap 2 should be Ottoman ! Three go for Supremo David Mullins @RomfordDogs tonight. Our Old Lady Angel first. She always runs well. Just doesn’t win enough. But she’s in with a shout tonight. Our duo in the 4 dog race in the last seem to be not fancied at all. Jimbombom you simply can’t rule out of equations if he gets a move on early. This hound is still the fastest round Romford 400m this year with his astonishing 23.43 at the start of the year. Ottoman will make her way round all in good time as she prepares for the weekend and the Ballyregan Bob @HoveGreyhounds luckily she hasn’t got as far to go as Boom 💥!! Good luck team ☘️ come home safe 🙏 @rhymeswitsnoopy @MullinsRhianne @kellygutts @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @GreyhoundNewsUK

Cats out the bag apparently 🫣 Thanks @Dave_Clark23 you beat us to the punch!! We’ve been keeping Zenith Boom’s next participation under wraps since his record breaking trial @NewcastleDogs last Thursday. The author is only interested in a return to @shelbournepark for the Winter Night of Stars with Pasha 750yd and Boom 850yd, but after the news that Pasha’s older sister and short head conqueror in the St Leger, Droopys Flare is unlikely to be seen until 2027 (all the best with her recovery she’s a super bitch) Maestro Jimmy Fenwick has decided to pull out all the stops and send Boom to the Ballyregan Bob @HoveGreyhounds this weekend. If he wins it, it’s only fitting that Ballyregan Bobs jacket from the Scurlogue Champ John Power Showdown at Wembley in 1985 which is front and centre in our office heads to the Toon. A massive thanks to the owners of Newcastle United the Maestros beloved club, for the offer of the club helicopter 🚁 to get Boom to Hove. Ownership goes that extra mile at the Toon to appease their most ardent fans, especially taking into consideration the start that the Black and White army have made this season. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get permission to land the chopper in the centre of the track making it a non runner. We did call Arsenal legend and hound enthusiast Liam Brady who lives down the road to see if we could land on his lawn but the potential damage to his geraniums was all too much for Liam ! Sooooo, unfortunately, it’s back to conventional travel for Boom and Miss Maestro Hannah who has undertaken the thankless task of driving 345 miles one way 🫣 to get Boom into the traps. We can’t say enough about the incredible dedication of the Fenwick family to literally go the extra mile for their dogs and owners in search of silverware (well we hope it’s silverware not plexiglass !) Hats off to them and what odds they are right at the top of the Trainers Championship in 2027 ? There’s a bit of a team being readied for an all out assault on the title that’s for sure. Anyway, let’s see who will be our adversaries on Sunday, right now only know of the champion bitch Vhagar and our own Ottoman being entered so far but won’t be long to wait to see what we are up against. Long live the Hidez suit for Boom and plenty of coffee for Miss Maestro. See you Sunday 💥💪🏼🚀🥇 @therealiceonfi1 @HannahFenwick13 @fenwick_melanie @jaygc18 @LewisClark1999 @ClassicRaceDave @BeamingKennels @JimCreminRP @Hobbsy67 @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Weekend Round Up Impact delivers at Romford. Pasha has a decent blow out round Sheffield Zenith Impact back on the score board with a trap to line victory on Friday night @RomfordDogs for Supremo David Mullins. Zenith Pasha was always up against it over the wrong distance and very decent 4 bend dogs yesterday @Owlerton_Racing for Maestro Jimmy Fenwick but it did the desired job as he had his spin with more suitable races to come in the next couple of weeks @donnydogs and @DunstallDogs before we head to Dublin @shelbournepark Well done Evie well done Pasha 💥💜 @rhymeswitsnoopy @MullinsRhianne @kellygutts @therealiceonfi1 @HannahFenwick13 @fenwick_melanie @jaygc18 @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @GreyhoundNewsUK

Zenith Racing runner for Sunday 18th October Our pride and joy Zenith Pasha makes an appearance @Owlerton_Racing for Maestro Jimmy Fenwick this afternoon against top Cat 1, 4 bend finalists over an inadequate 500m but that’s all we could find for him for this week, to keep his eye in. But don’t worry he’s already beaten the majestic Holding Blaze trained by our friend @RichieTaberner around this 500m so Pasha’s no slouch over 4 bends. Remember he won a round of the Kirby @LimkGreyhound and then a 4 length second to Ballymac Duffle’s record breaking run 28.37 in the first round of the Derby @TowcesterOffice so if it has to be 500m then so be it. All roads lead to 750yd @shelbournepark for the Winter Racing Festival on November 28th when Pasha will be joined by Zenith Boom 850 yd in the quest for 2 wins against the best Ireland can offer. Anyway it’s Sheffield first, and luckily the longer distance races are coming in the next couple of weeks which will be more to Pasha’s liking. Good luck lad ☘️ come home safe 🙏 You absolute beauty 💜 @therealiceonfi1 @HannahFenwick13 @fenwick_melanie @jaygc18 @rhymeswitsnoopy @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Zenith Racing runners Saturday 17th October 5 runners today going @NewcastleDogs @RomfordDogs and @Monmoredogs The ever reliable Mikmacker kıcks us off for the Maestro Jimmy Fenwick. We’d like a few more like him. Heart of a lion 🦁 Quincy Rocket and Sultan always in with chances at Monmore and Ottoman rounds the evening off. She’s off to @HoveGreyhounds for the Ballyregan Bob which will suit her down to the ground. Good luck team ☘️ come home safe 🙏 @therealiceonfi1 @HannahFenwick13 @fenwick_melanie @jaygc18 @MullinsRhianne @kellygutts @rhymeswitsnoopy @RichieTaberner @stuartforsdike @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Zenith Racing runners Friday 16th October It’s all about the Red Jacket ❤️ tonight @RomfordDogs for Supremo David Mullins. Impact has been knocking on the door having not won since May but surely there’s a long overdue win on the way ? We said those very words about the mighty Jimbombom last Friday and he said “enough of your Pasha and Boom nonsense” and delivered a fantastic performance in the heats of the Champion Stakes. He may not be fancied again tonight but he’s got his draw on the fence so don’t count him out. Just remember that he’s the fastest round the 400m this year at 23.43 which makes him the second fastest all time, and he stays so we live in hope he can make the final. Good luck team ☘️ come home safe 🙏 @rhymeswitsnoopy @MullinsRhianne @kellygutts @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @GreyhoundNewsUK

Boom 💥 track record breaking (well technically not!) run last night over 706m in his solo trial @NewcastleDogs Trials rightly don’t count as track records but it doesn’t stop us getting excited about Pasha’s side kick and what he might actually accomplish in his own right. Zenith Boom (ex Mongys Bale) Sept 2024 is starting to get us hyperventilating about the future and he’s barely had a race yet ! He’s been over 6 bends 5 times only and only two of those were actual races ! First being a messy affair @Owlerton_Racing not ideal for a dog that wants to stride out like he does. He followed that up with a very nice 640m trial at Newcastle before winning by 10 lengths @nottingham_dogs over 680 m three weeks ago in a near track record time. Failing to find a follow up race has been impossible, so Maestro Jimmy Fenwick has let him stretch his legs over 706m at Newcastle the last two thursdays in preparation for upcoming races @DunstallDogs and now potentially @donnydogs Last week having missed the break he registered 42.86 a mere 7 spots outside the record set in 2017 by Shellam Delano of 42.79. Watching the trial back, Maestro felt the current record was there to be bothered this week and Boom duly bettered the time by doing 42.68 although as we said it rightly won’t count in the record books. More pleasing was the fact that the solo effort straight after Booms by Marathon champion Greenwell Gypsy stopped the clock on 43.04 some 36 spots behind Boom, so there’s your yardstick. How far will Boom stay in time,we think he could get the extreme distances but won’t throw him in too deep till after the Winter Racing Festival @shelbournepark where we will go for the 850 yard open with him. The lad is heading in the right direction that’s for sure and as we said previously if he can have a fraction of the career of that champion from the same breeding lines Mongys Wild (they have the same dam in Banter Breeze) well what more can we ask for ? Onwards and upwards lad, you are getting us excited on a chilly Friday morning 💪🏼💥🚀🥇 @therealiceonfi1 @HannahFenwick13 @fenwick_melanie @jaygc18 @BeamingKennels @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @DaniVJackson @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Zenith Boom 💥 1 Newcastle Clock ⏰ 0 Ok ok it was only a solo trial but Boom 💥 was inside the 706m clock this evening which stood at 42.79 previously. Boom breaks the tape in 42.68 🚀 Just to put some perspective on it the monster that is Greenwell Gypsy crossed the line on 43.04 Video and more reaction in the morning…… 44 more sleeps till the 850 at Winter Racing Festival @shelbournepark @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @DaniVJackson @RacingBrindle @IanFortune @Lyonser @Drakesport @caul_barry

Zenith Racing runners for Thursday 15th October Boom 💥 versus the 706m Clock ⏰ @NewcastleDogs in a trial is the highlight of the evening. Oh yes and we have 3 runners with the likeable Efendi at Newcastle going for Maestro Jimmy Fenwick plus Aslan 🦁 and Scorpion 🦂 going for the dynamic duo @RichieTaberner @stuartforsdike @Monmoredogs Good luck team ☘️ come home safe 🙏 @therealiceonfi1 @fenwick_melanie @HannahFenwick13 @jaygc18 @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing

Less than ideal prep for the Winter Racing Festival 🫣 What is going on ? Two champion hounds and can’t find a race anywhere that’s suitable for either of them ! We now know there’s pretty much zero 6 bend action in the midlands or north till November 7 onwards. Every race we enter falls apart. So here’s what we are left with. Boom will be attempting to better his time from last weeks first look trial over 706m @NewcastleDogs tonight. He was 7 spots off the track record with a missed break. If it’s normal going tonight we expect him to better that effort. Hound against clock that’s what we are left with. For Pasha again no 6 bend race, so it was trial (again!) or put him in a 500m which was the consensus of opinion until we saw the hounds in this Sunday afternoon showdown. Basically a bunch of Cat 1 competition finalists but hey ho decision made. Couldn’t really be a harder race over the wrong distance but we have now committed. Looks like we need to put together a fleet of 6 bend dogs and sponsor our own race to get these boys ready for @shelbournepark Onwards and upwards we suppose….

Dynamic Duo Alert 🚨 The Pasha and Boom show coming to a track near you 💥 First there was Laurel + Hardy Batman + Robin Lennon + McCartney Simon + Garfunkel Starsky + Hutch Morecambe + Wise Keegan + Toshack Henry + Bergkamp And now there is Zenith Pasha and Zenith Boom 💥 for Maestro Jimmy Fenwick. Put us in a cryo chamber like Austin Powers and wake us up when these two are racing next because the rest of the week is mundane compared to what you feel watching the dynamic duo ! We count ourselves extremely blessed to have not one superstar but now two in the staying categories moving forward over the next period. Starting with Pasha, you are on a hiding to nothing starting as a 1/12 shot but he did himself justice with a resounding win over some decent opponents in the driving rain. Just looking for the right races for him, @DunstallDogs @Monmoredogs let’s be “aving you” as Delia Smith once uttered. We need the runs ahead of @shelbournepark Winter Festival on November 28th. Maestro not bothered by a touch of rain and took the trophy presentation like the man he is, whilst the Maestro Family did the sensible thing and covered up 🤣 Nothing could ever stop the Maestro heading to the winners podium proud as punch ! Pasha has had us in a daze since bursting onto the staying scene in Monmore at the start of July, but we never imagined we’d have another hound that, dare we say it, could be just as good or even better 🧐 Boom was purchased in June by the unflappable Chris Connolly @BeamingKennels for us after a stunning win @LimkGreyhound in 28.40, but it’s what he’s done the last couple of weeks that’s made us sit up. After a couple of false starts, Boom (named after the 1981 greyhound of the year and tv trophy winner Decoy Boom) took off in his first proper 6 bender @nottingham_dogs winning by 10 lengths and not far off the track record which we are convinced he would have got near with a longer hare. Well the potential race cards after that seemed to fall apart as it seems no one wants to take him on. Maestro decided that Boom should stretch his legs over 706m in preparation for his tilt at the 850yards at Shelbourne so that’s exactly what he did on Thursday night @NewcastleDogs going round in 42.86 seven spots off the track record having missed the break ! It’s not a distance used that much but the track record was set in 2017 in a time of 42.79 by Shellam Delano. That’s his first attempt at 700+ and now he’s been close to two track record times albeit one in a trial. Pasha is Jan 24 Boom only just two years old, Sept 24. We simply have two of the best stayers in the land with Pasha likely taking on the 630/715 races and Boom going even longer distance. Now it’s a question of finding races for them, ahead of Shebourne. Hopefully the only time they will race against each other is in a Cat 1 final ! Don’t like mentioning it but we just need luck with injuries and we have two headline makers for sure over the coming period. Bring on November 28th we’re coming home to HQ 💪🏼💥 @therealiceonfi1 @HannahFenwick13 @fenwick_melanie @jaygc18 @JimCreminRP @Hobbsy67 @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing @IanFortune @Lyonser @Drakesport @caul_barry @ClassicRaceDave

Weekend round up - Jimbombom and Rocket 🚀 both win well. Jimbombom comes back to form winning his first ever 6 bend race over 575m in the first round of the Champion Stakes @RomfordDogs for Supremo David Mullins who apparently headed home early, well earlier than 19.33 which was the time of the race ! Eastenders maybe ? Anyway our lad has trap 1 in the semi so no reason why he can’t give another good showing and make the final. He was winning @TowcesterOffice around the time of the Derby against top dogs so he’s certainly good enough now that he’s starting to find his feet over the slightly longer distance. Rocket 🚀 wins for the first time away from @HoveGreyhounds with his first victory for the dynamic duo of @RichieTaberner and @stuartforsdike flashing from the traps (4.28 sectional 😳) to win in 28.29. This lad is a winning machine make that win no 14 from 31 starts = 45% strike rate. Hes now over the right distance of 480 v 500 (gallop) so he should be one to follow in the coming months in opens. Well done boys good way to end the week 💥💪🏼 @rhymeswitsnoopy @MullinsRhianne @kellygutts @Hobbsy67 @JimCreminRP @GreyhoundNewsUK @RPGreyhounds @PremGreyRacing
