The recent kennel strike rates are particularly impressive. Droopys Addition has won his last seven in a row.

Older sister Droopys Aoife has swon her last six on the bounce. Lambeth Way has won nine from 11 and Roman Empire, two from four.

Ernie said: “My dogs will never have hundreds of races. I only race them for a specific reason, not for the sake of it.”
