4th January - A return to graded racing sees Joe triumph, and win his third successive graded race at Romford (A3, A2 and now A1) in impressive style. 6/4f was not so good, but still a winner.
17th November - After a long journey north, Joe runs in his first Open Race, and despite horrible trouble on the run up to the first bend, Joe uses his back straight pace to get himself up to third place and claim a place in the semi-final. Ante-Post at 33/1, Joe now sits in joint third place in the betting at a measly 7/1. Hands up who backed him at 33/1 :)
11th November - Joe represents Romford in the BAGS Championship, and comes a creditable second after being checked at the last bend as he was challenging. Off to Manchester on Thursday for his first Open Race events.
15th October - Joe does us all proud, coming out of the traps well, to take over the lead at the first bend, and never to be passed... The trophy was handed over to ourselves :)... And Dave Lock won the naming rights, choosing AJ's 'Bonamassa Rocks' to be the racing name of our new puppy, Blue.
11th October - Joe is given the all clear, and runs a creditable time of 24.69 in his comeback trial - On course to make his return to the track on Saturday
4th September - Joe goes travelling, trialling at Sittingbourne. Unfortunately, it appears that he picked up a slight knock, which will keep him out for around 4 weeks
29th August - Joe gets slightly hampered at the first bend, and finishes a creditable third in his first A3 contest
22nd August - Joe blitzes his rivals, leading from the first bend to finish over five lengths over the 2nd dog, and 10 over the third. Most impressive run so far.
13th August - Just as Joe comes to challenge the leader, his brother turns right in front of him and blows his chances - Better luck next time!
6th August - Joe runs his fastest ever time in Grade A5, but meets his match and comes a close 2nd
