Racing for the Samuels Boxes Charity.

We held a raffle & all entries went to the charity, we raised a total of £145, big thanks to everyone who turned up to run with us & those people who gave more than their entry fee's (there were quite a few - you know who you are) also those people who couldn't attend but donated money, it's very much appreciated, whippet racing does have some of the kindest people.

There was a total of 26 runners & quite a few trials which was absolutely fab - now all you need is a decent handicapper who can cope with that amount of entries

I'll just add this picture of the members who hung about for their piccy's taken - thanks guys (and john, i'll get you next time ).

Samuel's mum & dad were over the moon at the very first fund raising event & wish to thank everyone who supported us!

SCRATCH

Moonpie won from kennel mate Red Ranger in a much faster time than her heat of 8.31 & is the first winner of the Samuels Boxes Scratch Trophy

PEDIGREE'S

Both dogs were Terry Smith & there's never much between the two, the winner being the little blue bitch Dove in a faster time of 10.09 for the Samuels Boxes Pedigree Trophy.
