A tad disappointed to see this post as the judgement criteria is set out clearly on the post, and the record for this hound is clearly inferior to the winning hound.

Further - I took the trouble to commiserate with and offer an explanation to the owner Alan Cline at the track last night.

What more need be said

a bit harsh on the dog catcher their i thought , nobody knows what countback means ,an argument can be made that polar express
has finished 4th this month and that shaneboy vic is the winner?
i assume 3 from 3 will beat 3 from 4 and a 2nd under current thinking?

Alex - If you think I was a bit harsh, I apologise unreservedly, but I really did explain to Alan on the night how things were and at the moment I am getting emails, pm's and the like, all of which I am answering whilst still sorting many things relating to the Event.

I also get many coming up to me at the track which I don't mind and have no objections to, always provided that if it's a query they have, they accept the answer provided.  I don't make the rules or guidelines, I only implement and use what is already in place, and although I can perhaps maybe float on water, I can't walk on it  

As much as I would like, I can't make everyone winners, that's up to our wonderful hounds, notwithstanding the new initiative - Kennel Hand AWARD kindly sponsored by "spudders" and "Albert19" - I think that's his handle on here, and our hounds still have a hand, or should I say feet, in that! lol

I still have people talking to me about how they think things should be done - they are always welcome to come on this side of the fence and have a go, but every time we ask for help and support it isn't very often forthcoming - except from the same people year on year AND they don't moan often, just offer a view and get on with it!  Some of the biggest moaners never ever get their hand in their pocket, yet make plenty of noise with some still attending the event effectively free-loading on others benevolence, the ticket price definitely not covering the cost of the food which is always superb.

I take your point - rant over, now where's the support from out there, and I am not referring to you as you are already showing your support with your ticket order - our thanks

What is the reward, trophy or meal ..

[Deleted]

no need for an apology at all, and i can't believe your not getting everybody's full support , if we don't support you their wont be an event next year for us to enjoy.
i think its very admirable for you to negotiate this new award with the management and reading between the lines you've
been given countback guidelines that you're merely implementing.
polar jack having had a run less than the other contenders has worked in its favour whereas its possible to argue
it should count against it but its the managements prize and its their criteria that counts so its pointless to debate it further.
i hope the connections of the winner enjoy their meal.

So its a meal, look on the brightside then Alex...
