Completion of 1st Series - Land Double with Flyer Rooster & Dead Rooster

Our first series of the 2020 National Derby Championship is completed at 10:58 am. We started with our first running dog #2 at 8:17 am. In the first hour of the series, we had 13 dogs complete the series when we had a gun change at 9:18 am after dog #14. The rest of the 19 dogs completed their series in 1 hour and 50 minutes. The average time per dog to complete the series was just over 5 minutes.

In this series we had 6 no-bird/re-runs and 1 pick-up. Five of the no-bird/re-runs happened after the gun change.

Our temps started at a brisk 43 degrees warming up over 10 degrees for a current temp of 57 degrees. However, the wind has also picked up with gust coming in at over 15 mph throughout the first series. Currently the wind is coming in from the south at 14 mph.
