Well done all the winners, as always the Sunday open deserved a much better turn out with what was on offer plus added prize money, but we're stuck with those dates due to the busy racing calendar & the football season, so for some it is too close to Scotland but big thanks to those who came and supported the club, there were no complaints and the class of dogs that did turn up was second to none, amazingly close races all weekend with no easy wins in any of the finals especially for the George Hartley the dog & bitch finals with ALL 5 RUNNERS racing off, how often do you see that?

Special thanks to everyone who mucked in, the open can't be run without a decent strength of workers so big thanks to all those who worked hard to make it go without a hitch, Tony Dutka working like a trooper all weekend, Keith on the traps, Mark on the lure, the two lure lads, Mick Dudeck & Piglet standing in on the traps & line, Mal mucking in with the fencing, Jacqui helping with just about everything and keeping her stressed out mate calm and to everyone else who helped setting up and packing away, everyone just got stuck in off their own backs.

A few mentions for dogs i thought were very impressive, The Magster ran two brilliant races on Saturday followed by a breathtaking run in the bitch final on Sunday, holding the bigger dogs off until 10yds before the line where Sween (another impressive bitch - don't forget folks she cleaned up at both these opens in the pups last year, she certainly likes the track!) surged forward to just get her head in front. Branco looked super to take the Saturday open (she won the George Hartley last year).

The track was running very fast all weekend, the grass was short, the track flat with just a bit of rain widweek leading up to the event, loads of people commented beforehand that it looked great and they'd be surprized if the record didn't go but i don't think anyone expected in to be smashed 3 times in one day? Our Ebby and Bagheera both went home with very happy owners after their brilliant performances, Bagheera taking Supreme on the Saturday and her big sister Ebby taking Supreme Scr on Sunday. Dare Ya To looked really good for Linda on Sunday taking the Yearlings (and didn't she look smart in her jacket). Lastly a mention for all the club dogs who ran well (don't forget there's no track advantage for these lot as we don't run on the same track for club racing) Forever Autumn looked brilliant for Linda & Mal, all the heartache and hard work has certainly payed off and we're all very proud of the three of you, Bobby Dazzler looked super in his class on Sunday, never looking like being caught, no surprize to those of us who've seen the times he's been doing lately, Linda's Twisted Sister & Push the Button both ran well now having moved up into yearlings, George's I'll be Back put a huge smile on his owners face by taking Sup Vet & Jacqui and Tony's Jenny Taylor who cleaned up in the pups both days should give them some fun over the next few months as she gains experience.

Hope i've not forgot anyone, hope you all enjoyed the weekends racing and that you'll continue to support our club for future events

another great weekend weather spot on as well and the track was top condition, don't know why this event doesn't get the support it deserves but for those who don't come its their loss, well done the A/T crew for all your hard work really well done all the winners especially Lin and Mal Buddy did you proud on both days just getting edged out by Kentucky on Sat but finding another gear on Sunday, thanks Kathrine for taking charge of racing your grandaughter Duffy on Sat whilst I ran Izzy its a nightmare when theyre in a race after the other :cheers:
