Well done Audrey and little Rudi...you have had many problems with him.

He was very thin and had a lot of dentistry when you got him, which then helped him eat a lot better, but he has always suffered with colic and has never been able to hold a steady weight at all, despite trying...

Then losing a lot of weight after the 6 hour journey and awful cold weather over the weekend.

He wasn't even supposed to race Sunday, Audrey wanted him for the veterans.

This was his first and only 'adult open race' with a handful of 'veteran races'....

He did very well under the circumstances....he turned 6 years old in June,

he went out in style and made one lady who has waited over 40 years 'Dream Come True' xxxxx

Thank you for all your kind wishes, cards and flowers on my Rudi Valentino becoming a racing champion. I could not believe it after the last 6 years trying with Ballyboy to get the title that always excaped him and on and off with various dogs over the past 40 years. For many of those years I ran only at club level because personal commitments made it impossible for me to travel.

I have not come down to earth yet and even if I cannot travel far in the future my heart will be with my dozens of racing friends
