Hi June

Can you tell me what the handicap is for veterans? The ad in the Whippet News only says 2ft per lb, but doesn't mention if there is any further handicap for age (ie 1 yard per year as usual). At 9 [SIZE=8pt]1/2[/SIZE]years old, our Squeaks needs some extra help against the youngsters!

Sorry June you eyes are not decieving you no age allowance. It was oked at our AGM and we just thought we would give it a try. At Oxford dogs don't get age allwance in club racing we just run all the veterans together and it seem to work ok. Its difficult trying to find the best way to run veteran group and we have tried by bringing in the 5 year old group and also having two age group and three weight groups in the veterans and at 2 foot a pound we have tried to accomodate as many as possible but it bound to put some at a disadvantage. Sorry if this is you - but as we are new to this game we will take on board any sudgestion for next year - if we manage a next year.
