Whippets Rearing And Racing

[marielou]

Hi everyone

I just managed to buy a copy of this book by Pauline Wilson (1979) and what a brilliant read it is, I recomend it to anyone interested in the history of racing, specially newcomers like us. It really has been a treat reading about some of the greats of yesteryear and looking at the pics of some of the old champs.

If you get the chance to get a copy grab it quick

It would be great if some of our more mature members could be persuaded to tell us some tales of yesteryear Please...............

All the best

Yes course you can Geoff

Its so interesting, I traced Finlays pedigree back to Good as Gold on both sides many times over who I found out won at Highgate in May 1971 beating another famous name Little Lucy. he won the BWRA Supreme dog champion four years in succession and I cant believe how much resemblance there is between Finlay and his great great great great granddad in looks even though he was much littler (w00t) . Lets hope he takes after hime in other ways.
