    The distance is governed by the land the have, most tracks are,or were, on miners welfares. lets get this right, I'm not classing non-ped with coursing bred, hounds for grounds, as they say. Non-peds have been bred for generations, best to best, to get the fastest dog over the chosen distance, they want the speed of the greyhound and the size of the Whippet, and have near as damn achieved it. Coursing dogs, the same, best to best for generations for coursing hares. The difference is, a coursing bred will never win a race against a non-ped, and a non-ped will just about allw

    Straight racing is 150/200 yards, bend racing is 270/300 yards 8 seconds for 150 yards is very fast, but a handful of dogs are breaking eight seconds ? Cheers.

    I wouldn't disagree with you about after the first bend, but you said a whippet never leads up, I agree again, but as I've pointed out, I'm talking about non-ped whippets, a completely different animal You don't seem to be able to differentiate between the ped and non-ped whippets, I have owned and ran both, and pure Saluki and coursing bred and most other types of running dog, and I'm speaking from personal experience. yes, of course no one is arguing that the Saluki hybrid coursing bred is the best hare dog, but to say they will allways lead up a non-ped Whippet is very naive and i

    I'm talking about non-ped whippets, nothing like ped whippets, and if you think any dog can lead up a top class non-ped, you're dreaming, but I'm sure you're on a wind up. Either that or you've never seen a non-ped ! ? Cheers.

    I remember the owner of possibly the greatest non-ped stud dog, Bilko, saying his only regret was not putting the dog to a Saluki, keeping a bitch and putting that back to a non-ped, hoping to keep the speed and add stamina. Yep, that's what we all would like; speed AND stamina ! Cheers.

    She's looking at 60 years, I wonder if she'll use the nuclear option before she commits "suicide". Shes supposed to have incriminating evidence on some very important people. Clinton, Trump, Andrew will be getting a bit worried ! Cheers.

    When Wilf was on about him and Francie being amongst the 144,000, I said as long as Tutu and Setanu weren't handing out the tickets. If there is a god and a heaven, I'm sure Desmond will have a front row seat. Cheers.

    Edward must have been a great disappointment to his dad, Prince Philip. He signed up for the Royal Marines, but cried off and packed in basic training after a couple of weeks, hence his nickname "Princess Edward". Yet he still has the cheek to wear a uniform adorned with medals his mum gave him ! Cheers.

    My memory's not to good at my age, but I've been keeping written records for over 50 years, and still keep a game book. Heres one of the earlier ones, when I was racing and matching non ped whippets; Doesnt seem a lot of money these days, but it was a fair bit fifty years ago ! ? Cheers.

    Daywalkers are the canine equivalent of trainspotters ! They have little books where they write everything down, pedigrees, Forley winners, length of slip, time of course, etc. ? Cheers.
