March 26/27, 2011 WWWA Race Meet Results
While it didn’t quite feel like Spring yet, our Spring race meets got underway nevertheless. We had a total of 28 Whippets, 16 LGRA entries, 7 ISWS, and two tables full of Potluck items entered. We got rained on, but not too terribly, I think most people and dogs had a great time, and the day ran smoothly. There were some exciting finishes in the High Point races especially that landed Mary and Ray Williams’s Zephyr in the top spot.
Also, not a part of the official results, but worth a mention because I thought it was notable – we had a fiercely competitive potluck entry. So much so that a new award was founded for large entries like this – and so…
Best in Potluck – Stephanie McLeod’s Green Chicken Chili Best Opposite in Potluck – Mary William’s Chocolate Cherry Fluff
Thanks to all who entered, participated, helped, practiced, etc. – it was a good day of racing.
Even more dogs turned out on Sunday for even more not-quite-Spring-yet rain – and more running. Sunday we had a total of 64 dogs entered including Whippets, Ibizan Hounds, Italian Greyhounds, Pharaoh Hounds, and Silken Windhounds (plus a few practices). The day was a much wetter day, which the dogs didn’t mind, but the people were sliding around in the mud, and a few of us were soaked to the bone through our rain gear.
In usual oval racing style, there were some really great races today. The ovals are always exciting to see how the dogs jockey as they round the corners and pour on their final bit of full-speed on the straight to the finish. Sometimes it comes off like choreography, and sometimes it’s a squeeze with someone spitting out the back or front of the pack. At any rate – again, some exciting finishes.

First of all, this dog won the NAWRA meet on Saturday. Then he debuted as an FTE on the ovals today. Look where he started – in race 7. Worked his way up to the high point in program 3, where he went on to finish ahead of the A1 ranked Danny Boy (which is another treat/honor to have the A1 dog live here in the NW – which actually happens fairly often just because this area has some pretty hot race dogs) for the final 2 programs, just squeaking it out at the finish. I think there were some tears shed at the finish line, both of congratulations and of excitement.
And if you were paying attention to the Saturday results, you will notice that Zephyr’s owner took home the Best Opposite in potluck prize – with a repeat performance in that category on Sunday as well:
Best in Potluck – Kerie (hey I can win something sometimes – I didn’t decide it) – Italian Sausage noodle thing Best Opposite in Potluck – Mary Williams – Red Hot Applesauce.
Thank you again for all those who entered, participated, helped, were kind and appreciative. There seemed to be a lot of love going around this weekend, and we hear you when you say thank-you too, and we all appreciate it. So thanks again. Everyone plays a part in making these things go smoothly, and making the weekend enjoyable.
Congratulations again to our winners.
