Just a few for starters,till i get the rest edited,which will take quite a few hours,as my nephew also has a card full of the things.This was the 1st acton shot from my new camera,and i'm well chuffed.Don't know who put this on his neck though,or was this someones effort at wearing blinkers on their dog ha ha.

As we had just landed,we missed the 1st few runs,as we hadn't even got the camera's out of their bags,when they started,and we just had time to get Trouble out the car,and to the slips,after a 5 hour journey.But here she is,up against the dog who held the top racing titles,for 3/4 years,and was unbeatable.As you see,it was an uphill battle from the begining,as Trouble missed the kick,with not knowing this way of slipping,with the lure coming from behind,instead of sitting a few yards in front of them.But she showed what she was made of,when they hit the hill.

This was what my nephew got from the slips,and i reconed he could do the bottom half of the field,and i would do the top half.So this is what i got

This was only the 2nd race we got taking pix off.Wont bore you with frame by frame shots of all the dogs,but it puts a different angle on things when you see how a race developed,from start to finish.Pity the video man wouldn't do summit similar,as it would be great .Have another 5/6 of my pix from this race,but they'll keep.

OK.Now for a short list of the Small,whippet x dogs.Starting with Dannyboy's races.This was against the bitch who was reserve racing champion,at the last big meet i was down at.

This was Teddyboy,and Dannyboy,getting it on.

About half way up,i took over,and this was the scene going past me.

Couple of Dannyboy.

Heading for the line,and a place in the final.

 

[billyboy45]

This was the final,and as you see,Danny had it all to do,but it wasn't to be his day.Ahh well.Tha'ts dogs,and he has done us proud.Well done Kirsty.

This was how close it was.Poor Danny was just about all done in.A length,or less,separated them on the line.Looking forward to next year,to see what this pup had left in the tank.

these are marvellous photos

but although the dogs are more photogenic not wearing muzzles, someone should speak with the organisers about requiring muzzles in future. I have seen dogs bitten at races (and one of mine has scars on his hindquarters from where a dog bit him when they were running back after a race at Randalstown a few years ago; my dog would have fought back but he WAS muzzled)

Lovely photo's Billyboy, but i do think somebody should start knitting some new collars, :lol: in the picture's they look a bit stretched. (w00t) :thumbsup: Diane
