I dont care a toss who thinks im bigging my dogs up...they deserve it ! When i left on friday night at 8pm both woofers had 5 mins outve the car in liverpool, 13 hours they were in the car and when i got to Chatsworth the racing was 20mins after i arrived. Both ran ok but i knew the werent anywhere near running well for obvious reasons. The track was as i was told it would be....the worst ive ever seen in the whole of the UK. Like ive said before this was no reflection on the NLRC as they are allocated this ground and have to make do with it. Injuries galore over the 2 days with 2 owners hospitalised never mind injured dogs.
China was pipped by a nose by the final winner in her semi-final so no shame there, Colt shoulder to shoulder with one of old rivals Dillon but lost it at the line, beaten by 2 great dogs and owned by 2 well respected racers.
Sunday was a different day :- " ...big crowd of dogs 4-5 heats each time with a fantastic crowd of spectators the length of the "mountainous" track all cheering the combatants on.
Some fabulous heats with my 2 into each final..China against Amanda & Petes "finn" and Colt against Peonys "Archer".
No injuries and 2 1sts 8) and i was well pleased for each of the runners up putting up a good fight.
Special mention for Caroline who stuck with a terrible pup who was nurtured and endured till she got him spot on. All those problems you had you dealt with and turned around a nightmare pup into a great dog.
My wee China is still a bit heavy but ill sort that ill put that down to my inexperience...when i get her weight right...well lets wait and see :blink:
Colt is my Hero....simple as that. The dog has went through a cauldron of injuries this year (heart murmur thrown in for good measure) and still produces the goods at any distance 120yds this weekend or 600 at Monmouth.
YOURE THE MAN COLT !!
