Hi All, yesterday was a quiet one, I went swimming in the morning and slept in the afternoon and Niall and I headed for the stables at 5.30. We rode and then watched some of the grade 1B's and then we went for some food. We Then went to watch the grade 4's.
This morning ie day 10 I was on at 9.13. We were at the stables by 7 and Dad and Mum and the gang were already seated and having a great time. Niall rode first and then I warmed up and Youri was really good. When we went into the arena he got really tense on me. We ended up with 62% and placed 11 out of 18 and I was very disappointed. Niall said I rode really well and I did try my best but Youri was on and off the contact the whole time and it felt awful. When leaving the arena I saw Mum and Dad and all in the crowd and I waved and blew them and kiss and got great cheers. After I got off, I was interviewed and then cooled off and went to meet my clan. They were great with me.
I was so upset and so not a good day today, will have to scrape my heart off the floor and get ready to go again on Wednesday night, we have no times yet. Thanks to Tiff and all who sent wonderful messages luv Eilish x

Hi Eilish,
I'm Dominic (Winner of your Stake) at your Greyhound Race Night in Dundalk. Been following your progress via the blog and I wish to convey my best wishes to yourself and Youri. Animals have a habit of not doing what you want, when you want, but then they usually come good mostly when you don't expect it. Keep the flag flying.
