[How Your Dog Ran At The Track]

HK's Apocalypse ran almost 170 races all at Wheeling one of our top tracks. She was a very good A/B dog that could win A, she did it 6 times, but had trouble competing in AA. She was a dog that needed to be on top at the turn to win, but if she was 2nd or 3rd to the turn while she didn't usually pass the dog or dogs in front of her she would run hard and finish 2nd or 3rd.

 

Most of the times when she made the front she won. I would guess the few times she got caught it was by a pretty good closer.

 

If you or her new owners want to see her race go here.

Only the first 4 pages have replays because TrackInfo didn't archive the replays till a few years ago. What you want to look at is the bold numbers. The first number you see in bold is a 4 and that is the box she is in. Then you see 2, 7, 6 and that is where she is at at different points in the race and not real important to you. However, the next numbers you see are 6 9.5 That means she finished 6th and was 9.5 lengths behind the winner. If you go down to the 3rd race you will see 1 .5. That means she won the race and was 1/2 length ahead of the second place dog.

 

Good luck with fostering, we'll see if you fail. LOL

I am glad this thread is still going. Dick, you gave me a ton of awesome information on Apocalypse a few years ago and I greatly appreciate. We did end up foster failing and I joined the board for the greyhound rescue, so I am pretty fell 100% in with greyhounds. Apocalypse was diagnosed with osteo a few days ago and I am taking the day off to hang with her before the day comes Sunday. Going back and reading this laying next to her was great.
