Oil painting peds were fantastic. We were at the call over in the Scarisbrick Hotel talking amongst ourselves about what made Fullerton special .

Greengrass 208 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I forget the dogs name but within. The last 3 or 4 years ago it won the coursing Derby at clonmel, with all due respect all it did was run In a straight line...ok it might have veered slightly but to me that's not proper coursing, these 90-100lb dogs are,nt made for the twists and turns we used to see, it's all speed speed speed and not a lot of skill IMO. As I say the dog in question did what it had too to win in the judges eyes, when interviewed the trainer who seemed 100% said or it came across as well all you need now is a huge beast that can eat up the ground. The syndicate who owned the dog made up a cracking tribute to him to the tune of a well known song but I can't recall that either, then the dog died unexpectedly, at a very young age...any coursing lads able to help with the name of the dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darbo 4,779 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 There was a little American bred bitch at the last Waterloo Cup She could course a Hare Just how it should be judged IMO Working ability over pace alone Towards the End ' English open Coursing was becoming more like Park coursing re the judging and the dogs entered Bigger -100 LB animals were becoming the norm. If its the same bitch i remember its name was cashels evening. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Clonmel has always been about pace Where English open coursing used to be about a work Ie actual coursing. I agree 100 %, and I'm Irish. Years ago Irish open coursing was as good as coursing in Britain and I always loved the 60 - 70 lb English coursing dogs over the Irish lb + monsters. And now the ICC has shot itself in the ass once again by agreeing to muzzle dogs at OPEN meets ,which IMO is the final nail in the coffin lid of PROPER coursing. So if you like organised coursing get used to big, big dogs. A pity IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
