Lardy and Smokey - to Capalaba so that a slipper could be trained and so a couple of dogs would have a fair idea of what there were doing.</div> <bR> <div> Lardy and Smokey were like seasoned campaigners.  After only 3 practice slips over the last few weeks, both of these dogs, they left slips brilliantly.  The run was perfect with only a half length between them at the finish.  This shows just how easy it is to get these dogs used to the slipping leads.</div> <bR> <div> We also thank Alec Stevens who brought his old timer - Jack's Judge (Lucky) out for a run.  Lucky has never done this type of racing before and came out like he was a pro.  Also King Kissy owned by Rick O'Donnell was paired up with Lucky and had a few anxious moments, but ran on gamely in the course.  </div> <bR> <div> This pair had never been released from slipping leads before, and although there was a bit of hop, skip and jumping, this pair once away from the slipper, did their  best for the rest of the run.</div> <bR> <div> We also thank Alec Stevens for his expert advice in the slipping formalities, and also Ray Lambert (usually the starter at the boxes) for his newly acclaimed skills as a slipper.</div> <bR> <div> A few changes will be made when the actual official events are staged.  One important part that we will endeavour to change will be to introduce a decoy lure that will be thrown into the catching pen when the dogs run into the pen.</div> <bR> <div> Anyone who has interest in participating in these events are asked to give us there support by using the VOTING for on the<A HREF="coursingsupport.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Coursing Support"> SUPPORT</A> page.</div> <bR> <div> More news coming soon.........................</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
