Bellamy (Mouzey Mac)
born June 2020
Last raced June 2023 trailing in last after a bit of a rough race, something we hate to see. Took nine races in his career and deserved a better finish. He is very gentle and friendly. Also, he is clean in his kennel.
Desperately needs a change of luck. Bellamy is part of the welfare batch and is here with us in Nairn. He is only a little chap and is full of fun.
Bellamy is a straightforward lad who has spent a few weeks in a home. He passed with flying colours and it’s only because of a change in the family circumstances that he has been returned.
A simply delightful dog and one who deserves to be on his way down the drive.
Please give Debs a ring if interested.

Crooks Hercules
born July 2019
A beautiful brindle and for his grading a respectable racer. Hercules won ten of his forty races and is one of our welfare cases. Nice lad who is ready to move onto the next stage of his life. It begins now, in Scotland.
Bradley has been so distressed that he has ground all his teeth down to stumps. He is as keen as mustard and is a huge boy. He is lost.

Amelia (Solid Amelia)
born October 2021
Solid little racer (25 kgs) who frankly hates being in training. Last raced and won back in March. A pocket Atlas.
Amelia is a lovely girl, she loves her kennel and her caterpillar, bet she would love a sofa even more. She is no trouble.
Needs an owner to show her the brighter side of life.
She is now up with Tia in Scotland. Please ring Debs.

Kit (Tierney Choice)
d.o.b. 29.8.21
This is a little cracker of a dog. A Macmanus welfare case. His career in Britain lasted 14 days start to finish, almost eclipsing his Irish form (beaten 23 lengths on his only start). Excellent effort Kit. As you can see, he is a bit motheaten but has vastly improved from the beaten down wreck that was coaxed from the van a few months ago. Kit has begun to enjoy life again,
There are a few scars on this lad’s body, we have discovered that males were kennelled together un-muzzled. As a softer dog young Kit tended to be picked on a bit. We are looking for an owner with a heart. Nothing would give us more of a lift to see him on his way.
This is a nice kind of fellow and the sooner he is out of here the better. Needs love, lots of it.
Time now.

Showandgo
d.o.b. 19/4/20
Sad card filler who should have hung up his muzzle a good six months before the GBGB pulled up on the yard. His mother is called Nomoretogive which says it all. We have no idea what he was doing at Doncaster as he was bred for coursing. Still, ten wins is a respectable total. A big lad, a gentle giant, coming in around 40kg..
Just big, daft, and lovable.
Craddock is in part of the second batch from the Welfare Case previously documented and is now in Scotland taking in the new scenery and not bothered at all by his new friends..

Ridley (Greyfriars Jet)
d.o.b. 8.7.19
Ridley last raced in December 2022. He then was stuck in the kennels until we got him at the the end of August. Product of a frankly mediocre litter. He was one of the nine McManus’s dogs that were lucky enough to still be alive.
Did his bit though, and won on five occasions. Lovely lad and a bit camera shy. Probably cannot wait to make a fresh start, though seems happy here.
He is a lovely big soft lad who is now ready for a family and a home of his own.
Here he is, moving faster than he ever did on the track…

Tubbs (Gowlane Roddy)
d.o.b. 21/7/2019
Tubbs finished racing back end of July 2022. This 35kg lad trailed in last, when priced as a hot favourite and his connections thankfully called it a day. Part of the batch of welfare cases that arrived up here in August, Tubbs has settled nicely. Four of his mates are now on their own sofa, he watched them go. Just another ordinary black dog but could be the joy in someone’s life. It would be wonderful for him to find his family. A big soft lad.
Bit of a looker you have to admit.
Tubbs is beginning to get the hang of the new routine here at Nairn and we are slowly getting to know him.
Now rehomed…

Presley (Vixons Power)
d.o.b. 2/5/2020
Full of beans and very friendly with it. Suit people who like exercise, cross-fit, own fit bits, that sort of thing!
Presley has nothing to be ashamed of with his score sheet. Nineteen wins out of 102 races. Tough lad who has just retired and in danger of being forgotten because of his colour.
Presley is with us in Scotland; Deb a ring if you are interested.
Probably more suited to being in a sole dog household

Bauer (Corrin Bolt)
d.o.b. 17/8/2018
Lad who has been rotting in his Kennel since his last race in June 2022, until he came up here in August. Another of the Macmanus dogs.
Veteran of 106 races and should have been on a sofa long ago.
Bauer is probably the most troubled of the lot. Rumour has it that McManus kennelled dogs together without muzzles. The track vet was always stitching them up. Bauer has scars all over him. He watches every move in the kennels and i only hope he sleeps well on a night. He is coming round, we can catch him now in the paddocks and he is learning to trust again but very, very slowly.

Mulder (Mega Boy)
d.o.b. 1/8/19
Mulder won 4 of his 20 races, the last one was in March 2022 and he never left his trainers kennel again.
He sits firmly at the back of the kennel waiting for us to make a wrong move. A very nervous lad at the moment. One of the Lee Macmanus batch of nine we took in at the end of August. He needs an experienced home, preferably with another dog but this boy must be kept safe and not let off his lead even in a secure paddock.
Work in progress.
