@Ionus,
I liked mine. I've had a few. And parts of others. My favourite was Spot. He was white except for a black spot between his eyes. Brownie was the fastest though. They lived with the trainer and I only got to look at them on race nights unless I drove 30 miles. Which I did once or twice. Brownie had to run in good races and they were competitive so gambling on him was dodgy but Spot was another matter. You could get Spot ready without the stewards taking much notice.
I wouldn't have a dog in the house mind you. A pal of mine bought a house for £30 grand under market value because the previous owner had had a dog that had stunk the place out. Some problem with its arsehole I gathered.
