A lovely sunny dry day, not marred at all by the sheep (w00t) . We all had a relaxed days racing and the dogs enjoyed it as much as we did. Great to be back!

Lightweights:

Chase (WCRch Chase the Pied Piper - M Robinson) = 11 points

Ethel (Strikes White Madchick, H Bishop) = 10 points

Tink (Tinky Terror Strikes - H Bishop) = 6 points

Well to Ethel , who at only 10 months old ran her heart out each time, and still had the energy to put the traps away at the end of the day.

Middle Weights:

Boris (Bladerunner, M Robinson) = 11 points

Supe (The Phanton Menace, R Todd) = 10 points

Inca (Stars and Strikes) = 6 points

Heavy Weights:

Dougan (Exmoor Gold, S Meecham) - 12 points

Jacob (Second Strike, H Bishop) = 8 points

Ollie (The Gas, Gwen) = 7 points

Miya (Strike the Pose, H Bishop) = 3

As there were so few of us today, Ethel's schooling was given priority; she's looking good. 8)

Racing again next week - please book in with Margaret.

Much better thanks - a good nights sleep and definately NO alcohol :b

All entered :thumbsup:

Scratch racing means all the dogs start from the same level, there's no allowance for weight. Normally it's 1/2 lb per yard so a 24lb dog would start 1yard ahead of a 25 lb dog for example, but at scratch racing they would both start from the same point.
