Ray Fewings Dominates At Virginia Coursing With A Treble
On a bitterly cold morning, the brave and foolhardy ventured to Virginia to complete yet another field racing meeting. Ray Fewings returned to coursing with a vengeance with three winners – Remo Rheola, Rajas Ogre and Rajas Green Man. Hidden Criminal showed his liking for Virginia when he won for Neil and Teresa Mann and Paula Hearnden's patience was rewarded when Onslow greeted the judge. Laurie Cahalan also returned to coursing with El Tren Bala and took out the second event. Len Wilson and First Call showed all comers a clean pair of heels when taking out the Free For All, running the best of the day in his second course, 15.39. The track was a bit on the slow side after being well and truly watered during the week.
Dates for the remainder of the season are 27 July, 10 and 24 August and our final meeting on 7 September. Our next meeting is scheduled for Sunday 27 July – all grades catered for.
