How is the Open and Derby coming along?

 

[Aaron Homburg]

Open was a big wide open quad. Did not think they would finish today. Derby was in the 3rd last I heard.

Congratulatios Olga & Russ

47 back to the land blind in the Open.

Any other Derby results?

 

[Granddaddy]

Derby results as I recall:

1st - Ledford, Sophia
2nd - Day, Tinker
3rd - Lawrence, Twitty
4th - Day, Macon

No gifts here, everyone earned their placement with demonstrated marking skills. All set-ups were challenging and the 4th was a legit AA set-up, made necessary to get separation and a winner among 9 nice dogs. All who could have won in the 4th. Seemed like the more challenging the test the better the dogs did. Some outstanding dogs in this derby. Just sorry we couldn't finish more.

Congrats to all!

Any other Derby results?

I do not have much info except that the derby was a pro affair. Chris Ledford took first, Jerry Day got 2nd & 4th and Trey Lawrence got 3rd. Sorry I do not know which dogs.

The Open, Amateur and presumably the Qual are waiting for the rain to pass this morning before starting.

Open callbacks to the second test rumored to be a double blind, land and water.
1>9, 12>14, 16>24, 27>33, 36, 37, 40, 47, 52, 53, 55>57, 59, 61, 62, 64, 68>71, 73, 74. Total of 47 dogs back.

Congratulations to Russ and Olga Archer, in the derby. That Sophie is a marking machine. 7 trials 3-wins, 2-2nds, 1-3rd, and a jam. FC-AFC Max and FC Nala are proud of their girl.

 

[OlgaA]

Thank you Bill & Roger.......We are very proud of our little blonde girl.

It sure helps to have parents like Max & Nala and a trainer as talented as Chris Ledford.

 

[Aaron Homburg]

20 some back to the Open water blind, sorry don't know the numbers. Amateur is a triple, long memory bird, results are mixed.

All I know regards,

Aaron

Any Open Call back numbers?

 

[Jim Pickering]

Limited - 17 Dogs lost on the “Ditch” land blind.
30 dogs backs to the 3rd series water blind:
1, 2, 8, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 36, 37, 40, 47, 52, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 68, 69, 70, 73, 74.
For those who are into details and have determined that the numbers do not compute, # 15 was not on the callback list after the land marks but should have been included. Judges’ snafu which they caught.

Limited should have finished the water blind but I do not have call backs.

Amateur - 31 Dogs back to the second series Sunday morning 7:30 sunrise start. 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 19, 21 > 24, 26 > 38, 40, 44, 45, 46.

Lanse Brown and FC-AFC Eva WON the AMT!!!! I think that Q'd Eva for the Nat Amat!!!!

 

[wdsk]

I'd like to congratulate Jerry Day for his success with Tinker and Macon, as well as their owners! I believe that Tinker and Macon were in their first Derby (?). I was not there, but heard first hand account of the final Derby results early yesterday morning, and also know that one or more of Jerry's "first timers" made it to the third round which he is also to be commended for! A lot of hard work is paying off!

Congratulations to the winner and third placement also!

Rai, you should be proud of your girl too. Picked up all the birds in three series in her first derby! Just a couple of big hunts kept her from moving to the fourth.

Congrats!
