Romford’s Dog of the Month for December was puppy Mid West Bolt (Lenson Bolt-Grading Coole, Jan 14).
Owned by the Hard Done By Syndicate and trained by John Simpson, the early paced black railer went to traps four times for two wins (A6, A5) and two seconds. He also recorded his fastest time to date, 24.45.
Bitch of the Month was Newlawn Cross (Black Shaw-Ms Crossfire, May 12), owned by P J Claxson and trained by Phil Simmonds.
The dual distance black pulled off an A2-A2-A1 hat-trick (225-1) prior to an unlucky third place.
