Saturday, october the 26th. the whippets ran at the all race speciality lure coursing of Rougé (Loire Atlantique Brittany).
The drawing lot for the races led Honey and Gwendolyn to run together in the morning. I must say that I was very disappointed because Honey is still babyish and always uses Gwendolyn as a squeak toy. But I was wrong, the lure’s appeal was stronger than Gwendolyn’s and Honey simply ignored her.
On the afternoon, it was with Gwen, my Blanchette, that Honey ran and even if her race was splendid, she couldn’t outdo her cousin’s streches and her score was eaten out by Gwen.
As for Bayou, being, faithfull to his reputation, took the lure in full speed during the last straight line, owning 4 point (of 5 available for the capture).
The best scores of the day were 44 points either for the females or the males (the maximum possible being 53 pts counting the bonus points).
For the Keep on Running Family and the females :
Gwen (Keep on Running Gwynnever the White Enchantress) : 3rd ex aequo of 26 competitors with 42 pts
Gwendolyn (Keep on Running Good Day Sunshine) : 7th ex aequo with 41 pts
Honey (Keep on Running Here Comes the Sun) 9th ex aequo with 39 pts
Dixie (Keep on Running Dixie’s Blue Note) : 9th ex aequo with 39 pts
Mary (Keep on Running Bloody Mary) : 9th ex aequo with 39 pts
For the males :
Bayou (Keep on Running Blue Bayou) : 16th of 25 competitors with 39 pts
