Our First Official Trial

We have now had our very first official trial!!!!

We all went to Crayford today and all had a 380m run on our own. We also had to be marked up, which means we have to have all our different colours and marks put onto a diagram and have our tails, height and around our tummies measured. That then gets sent off and we get our official cards and become able to race.

Anyway, back to the racing...

We all did really well and ran round the whole track. We had problems with the bends at first but soon got used to them. It was the first time we had been racing at a proper stadium so was a new experience for us. It was also the first time we had been 'kenneled' and the first time we had worn racing jackets - we all wore the number three!

All of our times and comments can be found on the website www.noahsgreyhounds.com (well it will be very soon) so you can see how each of us did.

Hopefully we will have another run round soon and hopefully improve on our times as we get used to it and get to know the bends of the track.

You never know, before long you might see us competing in an actual race!!!!

Hope to see you soon!!

Our Second Run From The Traps

We have just got back from having our second run around a track and were so excited about having our first 4 bend times we had to write straight away!!!

Moley was fastest followed by Joani, Brutus Freddie then Colin, although there was only about half a second between all of us! All of us have also improved on last time we ran so we are going in the right direction. Look at our individual pages on our website (www.noahsgreyhounds.com) to see the actual times we have recorded for each of our runs.

We have now completed our schooling so our next challenge is to run at a proper track and do good enough times that will enable us to run there and start winning races!!

Keep a look out for us and hope to see you soon!!!

Our First Time in the Traps

We have now run from the traps!! We found it quite scary at first - especially Colin - but when we saw the hare we forgot all about it and started to run as we usually do.
We have one more run to do on a schooling track then hopefully we get to run on a proper track in our first official trial!! All our times can be seen on our website so take a look to see how are times change week to week as we progress!

Look out for us soon at a 'real' track!!!
