Frogmore update

A smooth day, with all racing done by 4:30pm.

Unfortunately Freya and Breagh could not race, so Muttley was brought out of retirement to be dog 5.

All the dogs ran well, and Chewy (handled by Clare Butler from Bone Idol) did not run out once; some really close cross overs in the last race of the day as Lacey, Ruby, Alfie and Muttley got the measure of each other.

So, how did the Rebounds get on... lets check the "Andy predicts" results !.

I predicted we would loose to Dream Team, and we did, they kicked up a gear and went quicker.

Buccfly went quicker but we beat them (prediction 2 right !)

Tafs Turbos were good, went quicker... but by then we had found our groove and won (prediction 3 right !)

Foxes and Vixens had a bad day at the office, went slower and also had a dog handler taken ill... we won (prediction 4 right!).

Unfortunately the addition of a late team into seed 1 spot ruins my prediction of getting 2nd,  the late team were very quick, breaking out once and winning all their races... this pushed Dream Team into 2nd and Rebounds into 3rd.

Interestingly the Rebounds set a new seed time of 20:80.... so almost a second quicker than last time.

All in all a good days racing and very relaxed :-)

Shannon and Lacey collected their Flyball Dog Advanced certificate; Jan and Ruby collected their Flyball Dog Graduate certificate (x2 mother and daughter teams !).

See you all at training on Saturday, looks like you will need rain coats !
