No your all correct it doesn't, but it's running in our name as it has been for the past 3 weeks, just obvioulsy it's taking a little time to do the paperwork, another dog owned by the same guy was sold before Lara was and that is still running in the old owners name, as Nigel will confirm we already have had a monthly bill for Lara.
We will just have to be patient.
Mark what is the latest regarding Lara. Was kinda hoping they might have found a 695 race to run in or even a simular distance at another track? I understand why she was put back to 515 following her 695 debut, but was under the impression that she would go back to 6 bends after that?

Yes John that is the plan but it's hard finding the races at other tracks over that distance as it has to be an open race, there is an open race at Hove next Sunday for maidens over 695m, I will talk to Brian tomorrow to see if she will be entered (i'm sure she will) even if she is there is No gaurentee she will get in if it is over subscribed, the reason she is running over 515 is if she doesn't run for 2 weeks she has to trial and also we need to keep her fit and we need to get her trapping better and although she will be running over 900m eventually, she needs to improve her early running, so she is not to far behind when she decides to hit the pedal, I know it's frustrating not having the distance she needs, but I think the important thing with her is we make sure we do things at the right pace and we don't go to quick with her and blow her brains out.
Also in the future if she does get to open class over the extra trip she wont get that many races, so we will still need to keep her ticking over in 515, also that helps pay the bill.

Yep, we've had [and paid] a training bill for Lara,
We just haven't got the name change, the owner change, nor the extra four owner's passes
Hope to make it up there tomorrow to see her first win since she joined us.
Cheers Mark, all understandable and if running at 515 helps her improve the early part of her race than it can only be a good thing. Just frustrating when you know the girl wants further!!!
