Conditions

Good morning. Day four of our National and day two of the Fourth Series. Our test dog ran at 6:45 am and the first running dog is scheduled for 7 am. The temperature is cool at 36 degrees. There's a bit of steam rising from the ponds, but it does not affect visibility. 

An old friend and phenomenal trainer, D.L. Walters, always said to breed to the winners of the National Open. His thought "You know they will work in the cold." It's not quite like the days at St. Louis where dogs would frost over in the cold, but it's close! 

Happy trails!
