with regard to coursing under rules I would in many ways liken the dogs to racing dogs (some I"m sure will disagree lol)

My logic behind this is that the scoring system to my understanding gave out the most points to the dog who came out 1st at the run up and then for turning or half turning the hare with the least points being awarded for a kill.

This being the case you require a sprint dog (racer) who will excell in that 1st run up and consequently within the 1st 30 seconds to attempt to turn the hare to gain the maximum of points.

This I feel would be the case with both greyhounds or whippets

True . And Just before the ban they cut points for kill and made the slip longer. Take good dog to win if it got beat in the run up.

That sounds OK in theory, but if you look at the Greyhound thread with the video of Cashels Evening, at the last Waterloo Cup, the far bigger dog she is in with, leads up and makes the first turn, then the little bitch takes over and domnates the course to win. So it's not allways the first dog to the hare that wins.

 

Cheers.

That don't happen that much.
