A fantastic day of racing at Shanes Castle today. A MASSIVE WELL DONE to all the winners. The Master McGrath heats and finals will take some beating to bring such a high quality field of dogs together

Are dogs not disqualified for interfering, in Lurcher Racing ?   Cheers.

regarding bumping dogs they should be disqaulified whoever the owner is,the difficulty is identifiying the culprit when your running 4 /5 dogs in heats,the best way ive seen it run over here in england is the lurcherworld top gun competition,2 dog heats ,even if you have 64 dogs entered the winner only has to run 6 times,you could improve on this by also using a slipper,any dog turning its head is easily spotted,and if you run the qualifiers the same as the final you then know the dogs in the final are up to the task and persistent bumpers stand out like a sore thumb,it also makes for a great event,good luck to all taking part.wish the ferry wernt so expensive as i think a few from england would love to have a go.

They have 4/5/6 dog heats in Whippet and Greyhound racing here, and I think up to 8 dog heats in Greyhound racing in the US and Oz, and "fighters", "turners", whatever you want to call them, aren't tolerated ! If lurcher racing is as serious as some seem to take it; it shouldn't be tolerated there, either. :thumbs:

 

Cheers.

any dog turning the head should be out no matter what show race or owner,a bit of rubbing or crossing happens at them all but a dog turning the head should be out,

 

correct, but it has'nt happened yet , maybe there might be sometime soon

      A Tribute to the late John Shaw who passed away  last Thursday 6th November 25
       
      I Am Free
      Do not grieve for me now my  friends and family, I am free
      I am following the path God Laid for me
      I took his hand when I heard him call
      I turned my back and left it all
      I could not stay another day
      To Love, to live, to hunt, to show my treasured Whippets, or play. 
      I found a peace at close of day.
      Be not burdened with the times of sorrow
      I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
      Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
      Do not lengthen it now with undue grief
      Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me
      God wanted me now,  
      He set me free.
      John, we will love you forever and you will be sadly missed by your loving family and all your Country Sporting Fraternity and in the show ring.
      May the Angels above give you the best seat in Heaven and may your gentle soul rest in peace.
      For Country Sports Fraternity
      Margaret Mc Stay
