Bosun11 537 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Cast your minds back to the glory days of the Waterloo Cup and ask yourself what type of land was (still is) the Withens and Lydiate fields. They are fields to favour the hare against the fastest of all dogs. Which is why it is called coursing not killing! Quote Link to post

fourlurchers 280 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) so at the mo we have short dry grass fields as in the ground of the waterloo cup not the waterlogged on big land with long slips will see the hare run at its best?
