Easter Charity Open in aid of Just Whippets Rescue hosted by Andover 16th April 2017
We would like to thank everyone that entered our Charity open held today. A fantastic entry of just under 100 dogs saw racers travel from as far apart as Cornwall and Lancashire. The weather was kind with sunshine but a cooling wind and despite over three weeks with no rain, the Andover track held up well with the sand finish proving its value. We are very grateful for all of those officials and helpers that enabled the day to run so smoothly and it was a credit to the team at Andover that we did not have one rerun or break down all day. Thanks also to all of you who made donations to the charity. Racing was over a distance of 150 yards off scratch with veterans running at 1/2yd/lb and a yard per year. There was some fantastic racing and some heats that could have been main finals, well done to all of the runners, finalists and winners in each group.
