Thread Name: Origins: Master McGrath
Subject: RE: Origins to: Master McGrath
I suppose Im the only mudcatter to hold a trainers license.

"The Master was in fact bred and schooled by his owner Lord Lurgan in County Armagh from an English sire and Irish dam.
The dam was a very fast bitch in her own right.

The interesting thing to me about the dog was his size, only 54lbs.
Today 54lbs would be very small for a bitch.

Racing dogs today average 75lbs, and my largest dog weighed in at 94lbs.

Due to the great competition in coursing now, Mcgraths achievments are never likely to be equalled   Ake
