Westhoughton Wrc

You know us better than that Graham

We spend £30 a week on swimming, massage 12 dogs a day, £350 a month on food & just spent £40 on fuel & £40 getting dogs checked out yesterday - if i thought the track wasn't good enough for our consistent open class dogs i wouldn't run them there.

I think it's disrespectful to imply all the sup & champions, top ten winners & top five winners owners that ran their dogs on that track today would put their dogs at risk on a "disgraceful" track.

I don't doubt the track's been heavy going, last week was the first week back after the bad weather on the advice of Rod & Louise.

Results & times to follow :thumbsup:

Well we enjoyed today and I enjoyed seeing everyone else and their hounds too. :thumbsup:

There'll be one extra greyhound trainer at Wessy next week as Ceri was graded in this morning for her first race this Thursday :sweating:

Anyway plenty of dogs running today, plenty of photos of the track but don't take mine (or anyone else's) word for it, come down and see for yourselves. :thumbsup:

[weathergirls]

track was FINE by the way can't be doing with people who sit behind a screen slagging venues off on a public website, on the strength of unfound hearsay WESTHOUGHTON as does HIGHGATE and EASINGTON do their best for us whippet racers

WHIPPET RACING WOULD BE AT A LOSS WITHOUT THEM
