WE WAS THINKING SATURDAY SO ITS EASY TO TRAVEL, THEN WE REALISED THIS COULD INTERFER WITH ANY OTHER BEND COMPS. SO IT MAYBE WEDNESDAY ??
 
Who would be doing the timing in and handicapping, is it going to be run by the Highgate Staff????

IF WE DO THIS IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT AND DONE ONLY BY HIGHGATE STAFF.

As whippeteers are happy for their dogs to have 2 runs as a rule would they be timed in and graded races made up on the same night ?
 
think it sound good :thumbsup: just not sure how many would make it mid week but good luck with it :luck:
 
All dogs would have to be graded up same as greyhounds and the format will stay the same.

One run = prize money

assuming a win. The dogs runs will be recorded into a database same as the greyhounds and graded on their runs
 
We appreciate all your comments keep em coming and then we can clarify dates etc. If enough interest is generated. Any ideas to what whippet patrons want please post. what nights etc.

The first I knew about it was last night when I had a phone call asking if it was me and Hazel doing it.

i think if u wanted people 2 travel it wud have to be a sat or sun. people work thru the week.
 
yes there would be a vet in attendence. Kennelling is a option NOT a rule. Transportantion of dogs is common sense "just do not endanger your animals" there are no rules in transportation. We would like to hold a meeting regarding this matter of jeopardising whippet racing this is something we do not want to do. Our aim was to move forward with whippet racing. We see all the time and devotion put into the whippets that race and think its about time people see what profesionalism there is in the whippet racing.

Whippet racing is not a flat cap, ferret group of people and everyone should be able to enjoy the buzz of whippet racing. Our aim is to gather your opinions and bring it forward with your help of course
