we run for this trophy every year in memory of a great lad who loved his whippet racing,thomas was a nice lad and a credit to his mum and dad but sadly died in a car accident three years ago. we run our dogs for this lovely trophy every year and we will never forget thomas, and it is one trophy we wish we never had to run for. anyway it was a good days racing in bad conditions but the dogs overcame the elements to produce some good races, well done maddie on her win and well done glittering prize for making it a great finish there must have been only a nose in it. also well done john and nikki with midnight rose winning the cons in another close race.
