The Ball Busters held another one of their very successful indoor tournaments at Maidstone today which is thankfully just under an hours drive away from me as i have a stinking cold and really didn't want to get up! We had to arrive for start of racing (8.15am!) as we were doing ring party in Div 7. We then had a long wait for Div 2 to start. We only had the Dream Team Mad Dogz entered today.
We were seeded bottom on a declared time of 19.00 seconds our current seed time is actually 19.77 but the Dream Team have had some new dogs join them so we knew we could run faster. We have only had one very wet training session together so really didn't know how the dogs would run. Well what a fantastic day! Kerina ran Magic in his first open and he was fantastic pulling off some great times and he didn't mess around once, She should be very proud of herself and her lovely boy. Cai ran first as usual and wow he was flying. I really thought he would be slower indoors but i couldn't have been more wrong he ran 4.02, 4.05, 4.04 & 4.04 in the first race including his start time (three were perfects). We ended up winning every race and only dropped two legs overall due to inexperience with the new dogs.
Annoyingly though he started turning right again in the last race. I really think he was just being nosey as he likes to race the dog on the other side but it really messes up his turn and he always fumbles the first leg he does it. We do have sore paws tonight though as he burnt through his boots in the first 3 legs so i had to vet wrap him which he also burnt through very quickly! Heavy duty boots needed for next time me thinks! We ran a best time of 18.22 which im sure we can improve on so roll on January.
