Fella's, fella's, now lets not get carried away here. The distance has a lot to do with everything. It takes a fast dog to run 17.05 over 300mtrs, coz it has no time to make any mistakes. The run has got to be absolutley perfect and anything chasing from behind has to be going twice as fast to pass it, whereas the 500 mtrs races the dog has a little more time up it's sleeve for a little mistake, but still again it can't afford to make a big mistake or it's got no chance.
Lady did ok because she did everything right and the dog in front of her also did everything right, except he got out of the boxes a little quicker and thats why he won it. If she is going to win a race over that short distance she has to repeat the same run as before and as you all know there is no garrantee on that.
The last thing that I need is for you to think she is going to be a good dog. She will hold her own in selected races in the country, but at this stage thats all she can do. Who knows, she may get to race and win on a TAB track, but she's not good enough at this stage.
I like the intrest you guys have in her and it's nice to have a forum dog that everyone can follow it's every moment in it's training and racing and I like giving it to you.
I just hope her races are safe ones no matter where she races and we all get enjoyment with her.
