We were greeted by a sharp frost and bright sunshine at the Dowty field in Gloucester this week. By mid-day the ground had developed more spring and we were favoured with near ideal racing conditions.

Today saw another busy meeting with visitors from far and wide necessitating running in three weight groups; We ran semi-finals in the light and middle-weight groups.

Trophies were awarded in each weight group, Blue Lady, Citizen And DIY, also the Prussian Cup awarded for Cons winner in the heavyweight group

As you will see from the results, the ‘Shearing’s’ ‘Final Blade' x 'The Real McCoy' littermates were on top form today.Also shining were the littermates from the

'Mr Wonderful x Gypsy' clan.

Many thanks to Jo for the thankless task of writing up the days racing, setting herself up for criticism for any tiny mistake she may make. ( fellow readers please note: if you can do better, please offer yourself up for the job)

I thoroughly enjoyed the day. The racing was great and the drinks at the pub were such fun, reminiscing about racers of the past with Colin and Tina.

Anyone wanting to race at Glos is very welcome. Please book by 8pm Thurs.

So are you bringing Ethel this week Hannah? I haven't seen her since she was a wee thing going mad on the end of her lead at Gloucester when she was a pup. She was well muscled for a young'un, and soooo sweet :thumbsup:

 

[Strike Whippets]

We won't be there today June as we were lure coursing at the Lancs yesterday ....... Shes still a little un at under 19lbs muscles and all (w00t) ....but she needs to start running with new dogs, and a good puppy allowance is always handy
