with the running of the race meet. That would include duties such as line judging,
foul judging, walking hounds to the box, and helping to retrieve hounds at the finish.
WHAT 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 breeds will be using a four hole
starting box; no hand slipping will be permitted at this race meet. Each box stall
measures thirty-eight inches in height, five feet in depth, and a width of eighteen
inches. 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 morning 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 e-mail [email protected]
All hounds will run muzzled. A small supply of muzzles and racing jackets will be
available but please bring your own supplies if possible.
