East Ayrshire Pedigree Whippet Racing Club
The club had its first main racing special event of 2020 at the
Woodroad Park in Cumnock, on Sunday the 6 th of September. It
was the highly ancipated King of the Ping sprint, run over a short
distance of fiy yards, to say this event is fast and furious is an understatement, where a
less than perfect exit from the traps is unforgiving with no me to recover, this in turn
gives dogs who have a good start a chance of winning a race they normally wouldn’t do
well in over greater distances. However it doesn’t always work out this way as many dogs
who win main races are also excellent starters.
The entry was not as high as it usually is due to the virus and the condions we need to
run under, but that does not mean the field on the day was weak, as there were excellent
club dogs on show, whippets which travel the length and breath of the country racing at
big events throughout the year.
