Kindly hosted by the Heart of England Pedigree Whippet Racing Club

WCRA clearance and training trials the aim of this event is to provide valuable bend experience for novice dogs and an introduction to whippet racing for owners and dogs new to the sport.

This is an opportunity for you and your dog(s) to have a fun day with other whippet owners and their charges, including the chance to chat with some very experienced people in this amateur sport.

We can also assist with Seconding for Passport Applications and DNA swab tests.

Where owners are intending to clear their dog(s); please bring the relevant dog’s passport.

Sunday will start at 10.30 with trials, a stop for lunch, followed by a 2nd session in the afternoon.

On offer will be 240 yards bend (11-months upwards); 150 yards curve (9-months upwards) and 75 yards straight (6-months upwards) – with hand slip or using the traps.

Experienced schooling dogs will also be required to run with the novices.

I’ve been informed that the purpose of the “booking in form” was to help HOE organise dogs needed for clearing trials before the day, so don’t let the closing gate worry you.

Anyone can just turn up on the day to run and will be more than welcome to take part :thumbsup: .

Thanks to the Heart of England for hosting this weekend and for all the hospitality and catering. :thumbsup:

It was good to see so many of Quinn’s (WCRCh VC Terraquinn) puppies running and naturally as 8 of them attended there had to be a photo call
