Ribbons will be awarded for 1st through 5th place. W HAT IS LGRA? LGRA is sprint racing for Gazehounds. The hounds run 200 yards straight after a lure consisting of a fur bag and squawker. Up to four hounds race a total of three times, called programs. Depending on the order of finish, they may attain national points towards a GRC, Gazehound Race Champion, title. All entries will be hand slipped at this race meet upon movement of the lure. Hounds need to be one year of age or older to be entered. They will also need to be registered with LGRA. This can be done the afternoon of the race meet by bringing a photocopy of the hound’s registration along with a $2 fee. After registration, your hound will receive a LGRA number that will be used in entering future LGRA meets. To receive further information, please contact Karen Frederick, Race Secretary, at (636) 391-3254 or e-mail < [email protected] >. APPRECIATION We wish to thank Mike and Kathy Slater for their support of the Irish Wolfhound activities this weekend. This kind of event requires much help from everyone involved, from releasing hounds to retrieving hounds at the finish. Please make yourselves available to help with the successful running of this race meet. Please have an x -pen or someplace to keep your hound when not racing so that you are free to help. All hounds will run muzzled to prevent damage to the squawker. A limited supply of racing muzzles will be available for use so please bring your own if possible. Numbered racing blankets will also be available. WHAT BREEDS ARE ELIGIBLE? For this race meet, only Irish Wolfhounds will be allowed. ENTRY FEES The entry fee for each hound will be $10 if the entry is received at the Race Secretary’s home by the end of Thursday, 17 October 2013.
