The 2011 race season has ended for us this last weekend and what a way to end a year of racing. Sat was a day of anticipation as we had trained a Whippet for a friend and our Greyhound Max was close to a huge achievement. The anticipation had my heart pounding each time the box opened. When “Will” (Whippet) came out driving hard to the turn and took the lead I was elated ! Not only did he take the lead but he CRUSHED the field by over 10 lengths at the wire. To say I was excited is a understatement !
A few races later it’s Max coming out of the box and he won his race!!! Only two more programs and my heart is still pounding. Will won his 2nd race as did Max and I am over the top. In the last program Will is in the “co-feature” he’s got to run against solid Grade A dogs. The little guy missed his break but drove hard all the way to the finish for a 3rd. Again Max was a few races later,,,,, He broke well drove hard to get to the turn first, he won !!!! I’m exhausted, we still have another day of racing.
Sun Will’s owner took him to the box, he’s racing Grade A dogs again in only his 4th start. He broke fair, GREAT rush to the turn, worked thru traffic to take the lead,,,,, HE WON!! Soon enough it was time to walk Max to the box for his first race of the day. Another dog got out first to the turn, Max took to the rail in the turn and PASSED him for the lead. All I can hear is my heart pounding as they crossed the finish line,,, Max won. In the second program little Will has his work cut out for him as he is running against so very seasoned dogs. His break was fair, held position in the turn then put on a kick for the finish line....... TWO dog cross the finish side by side. We have to wait for the judges to determine a winner,,,,,, Will lost by a NOSE. A 2nd is still wonderful and I’m over the top again with his performance. Max and his sister Mandy are the GH Grade A race, she got the #1 hole and Max the #4. Mandy cam out like a bullet with Max hot on her tail but she’s not giving him anything. She wins by 1/2 ! Max has got to win the race in the 3rd program!!! The 3rd program has Will back in the “co-feature” AGAIN. The box opened and the battle began as all four drove into the turn then started to separate a little with Will running 3rd. As they turn for the straight toward the finish line Will and the dog in 2nd put on a kick to close on the leader,,,, they are 3 wide as they cross the finish line!!!!! DAMN we have to wait for a judges decision AGAIN. Will and another dog “DEAD HEAT” for 2nd ,,,,,, a NOSE back!!!!!! OK it’s time for Max and Mandy’s final race of the weekend, it’s a must win for Max! Max came out of the box with FIRE in his eyes on a mission to win, he make it to the turn first,,,,,,, it was his race and he won it!!!
