MAY WEATHER NO HELP AT ALL
THE WEATHER WE'VE HAD THIS MONTH HAS OFFERED LITTLE HELP TO EITHER THE GREYHOUNDS OR THEIR HANDLERS. THE CLIMATE IS FAR TOO CHANGEABLE AT PRESENT AND THAT IN ITSELF CAN RAISE MANY ISSUES. MANY OF THE DOGS ARE STILL COVERED IN THE WRONG COAT BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN SUFFICIENT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER OVER A LONG ENOUGH PERIOD TO BRING THE APPROPRIATE COAT OUT IN THEM.
ALSO, AND THIS IS PERHAPS THE WORST SCENARIO OF CHANGEABLE WEATHER, TRACK PREPARATION IS FAR MORE DIFFICULT. GROUNDSTAFF CONSTANTLY PLAY A GUESSING GAME WITH WATERING THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. THIS ULTIMATELY CAN MEAN UNSUITABLE SURFACES THAT CAN LEAD TO INJURY. WE HAVE HAD TO SIDELINE A NUMBER OF GREYHOUNDS IN THE PAST FORTNIGHT DUE TO NIGGLING INJURIES. LETS HOPE THE WEATHER PICKS UP AND WE CAN HAVE A GREAT SUMMER. A BIT OF SUN GOES A LONG WAY. P.S. EXCUSE THE PUN PICTURE ABOVE, I COULDN'T RESIST!!
