Texas Dog Has Last Chance In Trials
A little known Texas pointer named Wayside Pat faced a runoff chance in the National Field Trials championship in Grand Junction Tennessee. Pat, three months shy of his third birthday, ran against veteran Lester's Enjoy Wahoo owned by Dr. B S Lester of Birmingham Alabama who was the pre meet favorite. Pat was a last minute entry from J N Edens Jr of Corsicana Texas and was a long shot after yesterday’s strong performance.
