Newbury

We were up at 4.30am on a very cold sunday morning for Newbury. the Lightening Strikes first show.
We ran first with the Express team. We were down Annie as she is in season but decided to put Razzle in as he really has gone as far as he can in starters. We didn't suffer too badly on times (about 4 tenths of a second) but the team just didn't gel as well as they had at easter. I think it may have been the pressure of being top seed as well has having two different dogs in, Misty was there as well as Razzle. We managed a fourth place which we were really pleased with.

Poor old girl :)
We went in the Echoes team next and were really eager to see what they could do. We hadn't managed to race this team (top team) at Easter due to the comp being cancelled. We were on a declared time of 18.50 and I was pretty confident that we could get near this. Luck was not with us however as I realised that Neo really wasn't very well after the first run and wasn't running properly, He came out of the ring and was really quiet and even more clingy then usual. He had a very upset tummy and was really off. We ended up pulling him as he just got slower and slower and we ran, super sub, Daisy the rottie instead. I think our fastest time was 19.67 and we managed fourth which we were actually over the moon with! No pics of this team I'm afraid :(
The show itself was fantastic, the atmosphere was lovely and it was such a relaxed friendly show. Shame it was so cold.
Wimbledon next weekend and Tia is running her debut in Starters :) Watch this space
