Fleura had wonderful runs at the 25th running of the Fullerton Cup. She was BOB, after certifying her younger (second?) cousin, with some really amazing runs, and went on to run Best in Field with the Ibizan, Pharaoh Hound and Whippet. She ran off with the Whippet, who had an excellent run, and hung in there with him throughout the course and ultimately won the Fullerton Cup! This has been one of my favorite events to run every year, so it was very special for her to win it. Very proud of my "wee beastie"! This is her fifth Best in Field.

This was an amazing event! It was so well put together and while we didn't end up with many Ibizans this time, we had an amazing Afghan entry of 15 of very likely the fastest Afghans in the United States. Dean won both meets and Niko actually pulled off a second place in LGRA, in addition to his High Scoring Veteran at age 8. Fleura had some awesome races and really had to earn her third place in LGRA - there were a couple races where she was defeated by a muzzle. She pulled a couple bad breaks to the outside in NOTRA, but still had some really brilliant moments in her second and third race. If she learns to stay on the rail, I think she could be a contender.
It was really great to meet some of the west coast Afghans - they are all extended family and some brilliant runners. I'm really proud of how my girl hung in there. |
