2005 Amateur Deep South Brittany ChampionJust Call Me Roy From the lake at Tara Hill running in brace 11, Roy sailed to the western tree line and began his trek north. Some 100 yards down, he broke the cast, cautiously moved to the center of the course, and froze on ground with sparse cover. Kent flushed briefly and a small covey was raised to everyone's surprise. Upon release, he began to go up through the gears hitting the line at the bottom of the hill and turning his attention to the distant stand of pines some quarter mile to the front. Last seen streaking into the broom sedge cover near the pine stand, he was found, by scout Dick Krause, 500 yds to the north on a feeder near the Course 1 turn with birds well located. Released toward Safford Road, he made an eye catching line cast that took him out of sight as the handler, judge and gallery cantered to catch the front. The party rode for 10 minutes to the Suttle 40 where Roy was found standing on a well-hidden covey near Safford Road. His style, manners, and composure were rock solid. Crossing Safford Road, the other half of the field trial party was visible deep in the well pasture so Kent and Roy caught the front near Camp No Sleep with Roy flying down a tree line. His extended cast took him down near the well pasture where Kent had to ride hard and pull him back on course as the course turns west. Gathered up at the tree line gap in the Bramlett pasture he motored north on an extended cast where he swapped ends, moved up, and froze. The long ride to him found a tight holding covey that exploded some 20 yds in front of him. He finished his hour with a cast to the west across the Bramlett pasture. At time, he was out of sight and returned from the Sedgefields alley to finish a brilliant hour.
