You are obviously talking about the "Master Mgrath" , so called , Lurcher race; that happened last year. Absolutely NOTHING to do with coursing or the great dog ! Unregistered Greyhounds and Non-Ped Whippets, pretending to be Lurchers, running in a competition that had nothing to do with the great dog himself ! There were a few Lurchers entered, but they were bred specificaly for racing.

 

Cheers.

There is a very good eating house called Master Mcgraths in Scarisbrick near me. The resteraunts 'thiem' is based on the dog and all things coursing, with sporting prints and memoriabilia lining the walls, some of it not to distant too!

For those 'in the know' about such matters, there is a blue plaque memorial on the wall as you enter too... A very nice tribute.

 

... And thats about the only thing I can contribute to this thred...
