...Speak Of The Devil...

...the jinx appears when mentioning the gun change. We just had our first no-bird of the day on dog #108.

For those readers that haven't caught it on the Daily Report, no-bird policy for this National is to wait 6 dogs. On the occasion of a second no-bird the dog waits 6 again, and if there is yet another no-bird the dog will go to the end of the running order.
