howrude 108 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 I'm not too sure of the actual injury this dog sustained, but according to Brian Martin, it was a fractured hock... If this is the case, then what a training effort it has been for Bill Hodgson to get this dog back to the races and to be competing and just going under to Mr Chino in this season's edition of the Nancy Cobain. Such a remarkable achievement, I know he run 2nd, but MAN! WHAT A RUN!

aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 Yes, take a bow Bill, huge effort from Buddy. I never gave him a chance before the race, in fact bet against the dog running in the 1st 3, actually backed Arches dog but certainly had heart palpitations short of the line. I know what it takes to get a dog to run 700+ without racing and it requires a lot of effort let alone one thats coming back from a broken leg. Training performance of the yr for me. howrude and modest mouse 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
