    I’ve got this overwhelming feeling of Deja Vu, as if we have been through all this before Cheers.

    Max tells me he is putting the non- ped whippet/grey Scratch Champion Sky Warrior over his Saluki x coursing bred/greyhound bitch. Should produce some capable pups Cheers.

    His non-ped x lurcher is handy on a hare aswell Cheers.

    Much as I’d like there to be big foot/yeti ; with AI and CGI it’s hard to believe anything you see these days. Cheers.

    Thursday night a roe broke from a small copse and headed for the next woods. I slipped the bitch and she run diagonal to cut it off, problem was there was a dip in the land and she went into it at full speed, it must have been a foot deep in water ! It looked like one of those rides at a water park, spectacular, but slowed her down enough for the roe to make its escape, Flooded fields everywhere up here but you’ve still got to get out ️ Cheers.

    No pics , this was back in the 60’s and 70’s. I was there many times, were you ? Why do you contradict things that men have seen and done before you were born ? You come across like a spoilt child desperate to be right. Ive avoided getting involved in your nonsense for a while but sadly have been sucked in again . I’ll gladly reply and converse with others on this thread, but I’ll not be replying to you, it’s pointless. Cheers.

    My pal had s sister to it called Go2, it still holds track records for 200 yards. A lad on here had two of Geoffs dogs that were amongst the first to break 8 seconds for 150 yards. Taysider had a dog bred by Beddy Dave sired by Geoffs dog, dam was beddy:whippet/greyhound that won the Scottish Lurcher Derby, Geoff could certainly breed a top class non-ped, I’ve seen quite a few. Cheers.

    Tay was Geoff Fletchers non-ped whippet grey wasn’t it ? He bred some top class non/peds, including this one, I used to enjoy talking to him. Cheers.

    I used to be a regular at the Border & Coquetdale Coursing Club in Northumberland. Greyhound coursing under NCC Rules , and they ran on all grounds, coastal arable, high fells, pasture land and on the land where the greatest coursing greyhound of all time, Fullerton , was raised and trained at Shortflat Farm , sadly now a hotel. Still great , varied coursing land. Cheers.

    We handicap whippets and greyhounds at 6/100ths of a second per yard; so a ten yard or”length” win would equate to 0:6 of a second. Dogs have got faster over the years , so you could use 5/100ths of a second per yard, which would be half a second for ten lengths. Its generally the rule that whippets and greyhounds run 16 yards per second, obviously some are faster, some are slower, but a decent handicapper generally gets it right, while a good dog man will do his best to beat the handicapper Ive been on both sides of the game, Cheers.

    There will be thousands of people at the greyhound racing tonight. There will be thousands of people at the whippet racing this weekend. Why ? Because they are the fastest dogs. There will be no Salukis or coursing breds in these races simply because they are not fast enough. Please, PLEASE , don’t start going on about slop or winter or black stuff, I’m simply stating a fact. Cheers.

    The big man seems a bit better after what happened to his dog, I look forward to seeing him Cheers.

    I’ll be over after Xmas to see the big man , the Armagh Sniper and Gerard, I’d of been over sooner but unforeseen circumstances have forced a change of plans, I hope you’ll still show an old man some sport on the foxes and maybe other quarry Cheers.

    That photo should be kept for posterity so old men can show their grand and great grandchildren what it was like when we could hunt without persecution……. Cheers.

    Always mate, I’m way past worrying about things. A good night local last night with the bitch, a nervy win for Newcastle tonight, now enjoying a glass of wine with some music on the old stereo gram and some coursing on the telly ! Cheers.

    Chillin’ with the big lass in the man cave; Cheers.
  20. chartpolski
    That’s why they were put to Salukis, to slow them down a bit ! Cheers.

    “And a partridge in a pear tree” ? ’Tis the season All the best mate Cheers.

    I judge it by standing on the scratch, (start), line at the whippet racing and looking up to the finish line, 150 yards. slipping a dog at more than three times that distance ? C’mon Or watching a 470 yard greyhound race….. slipping a dog at more than that distance ? Again, c’mon I’ve heard lads say they slipped on a rabbit at 500yards, FFS, I’ve paced it out and it’s more like 100 ! Cheers.

    Where was the security ? Cheers.

    I certainly think Shashi kept his speed for the final, the way he won the run up, turned the hare 180 degrees and picked it up on the run . A worthy winner in my mind Cheers.

    Anyone here went to the last Waterloo cup ? I remember the start of the first day being delayed because of the frost and the rock hard ground. By the third day the conditions had changed dramatically and there were huge pools of water on Altcar. That saluki type that was slipped on a spent hare killed it in a huge pool of water right in front of me, I videod it . Hard to believe it was 20 years ago ! Cheers.
