Thanks to everyone at The Coursing Crew for making a first timer so welcome. We had a great day out and were relieved that Rocco remembered what he was supposed to do, as it was only his second ever event. Nice that some Show Whippets can really run, although Rocco's sire is an American coursing champion so probably not so surprising that he didn't disgrace himself. I think that yesterday was better than his class win at Crufts this year.

Here is a picture we took afterwards at Citycroft base camp:

Stunning performance by Rocco on only his 2nd outing (w00t)

He is a very talented whippet :thumbsup:

Finn was a worthy winner of the coursing, well done and let's not forget Taran coming 2nd in the whippet straight racing - great stuff!!
