PUD Some of the tracks, like Wallsend Rising Sun, had a strict 21" limit; others like Seaton Burn had no limit. I still love to see the no limit scratch racing ! Cheers. Quote Link to post

Any he put more rabbits away than sweeps If I remember correctly, North Seaton used to run one bend. I had a dog back then, Blue Prince used to love running the bends. 21", 35 pound.

PUD It was the 60's & 70's when I had racing whippets. I remember one of the Charlton brothers had whippets, Tommy, I think it was, at that time. Cheers. Quote Link to post
