I thought that too at once, but this season, i have seen more courses with the Irish hare and all i can say is, their no joke. Amazing wee mammal.

WELL MAX ,

 

THAT ABOUT SUMS UP HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE WATERLOO , THE RUN UP WAS ALL IMPORTANT ............. IT SEEMED THAT IN LATTER YRS THE JUDGE WASNT INTERESTED IN THE WORKING ABILITY OF THE DOG BEHIND THE HARE .......... WHEN MAKING MENTAL NOTES OF THE POINTS I OFTEN EXPECTED THE SLOWER DOG ON THE RUN UP TO HAVE ITS FLAG RAISED WHEN THE RUN UP WINNER FADED BADLY ..........

 

I ONCE SAW A PAIR OF WHIPPETS AT THE WATERLOO GET LOOSE :whistle: , AND PUT ALL THE GREYHOUNDS THERE THAT DAY TOO SHAME ...........

 

AS FOR THE IRISH IN THE FORLEY ? ................. LETS JUST SAY THERES ONLY ONE " AREA " THAT REPEATEDLY DOMINATED THE FORLEY ........... THE NORTH EAST

 

 

ALL THE BEST
