[jeffb]

some good races great trophy,s just a pity it was a bad turn out this open deserved a better turn out putting that aside the racing was great the 435yrd only 2dogs but great race between steve bell.s shane and joyce challenger .

some young dog,s hitting the open scene and making there presence like bert,s morphous who showing him self in great fettle before the champs and hope bruce and dia,s lacey venture recovers from her foot injury that prevented her from taking her place in the bitch final and peter and michelle,s for sale who ripped her dew claw off and fially what a great run by no surrender this dog is starting to fire on both barrel,s now he,s matured and he,s had a winters rest

 

[Honeybee]

This was a good open, pity not more dogs/bitches didn't turn up. Westhoughton is a good running track with good bends. Some great races and close ones too. Well done to all the winners. Where are all the NL scratch dogs (i.e. Veterans) have they retired!!!!! Saxon Duke had a solo.

The weather was cold but very sunny (although personally I didn't find it too cold) - the Trophies/prizes were lst class - well done to the N.W. B.W.R.A. who organised this open and put up some lst class trophies. :cheers:
