Now take a picture a minute and half in to 2 minutes and see the difference

[whip x grey 276]

very true,,,but after a minute ,,,there might be more lead if both were on the slip ,,,and the hancock would stop,,as the other would be out off sight,,,seen that many a time

if you get them fit enough they don't burn out so quick mine has some staying power and has a good set of lungs on him

as they are both my mutts i thought i'd put in my tuppence...the hancock cross is 3/8 beardie / border and at 30 or 40 yds they were levelish, she has had 3 good winters ( her 1st she wasn't much more than a pup) she has by far more multi run stamina and a much quicker recovery rate....if we rerun the race 15 or 20 times i know who i'd have my money on, i'd rather it went 20 or 30 times but that wouldn't be fair on the young un. the deerhoundy x has excellent greyhound blood from her mothers side including english and scottish derby winners....she was still very much a pup last winter although she's had a few day and night but her single run stamina is great..... in the pic she's only really getting into her stride...and she is lots more fiery......both spend much more time mooching through woodland and the like than in open fields (in daylight anyway) both take fur and feather..perhaps due to her speed the young one has picked up a few injuries bouncing off trees and the like but she's slowly learning to pace herself.....but they are really different and bred for different purposes. the racing is just a wee bit of fun for a summers night....heres hoping we get all this wind and rain come october

Exactly mate same way bred and from same kennel's they dont last mate they look good over 1st and 2nd run then they go down hill from there good long stride make up ground quick if ye get 1 with a good strike they are impressive BUT it dont last long there all the same
