Another cut

I am changing my style. I will tell you who he cuts.
 
He is cutting, and leaves Tasmanian Devil, Shock'n Yal, Orian, Patriot, Broken Arrow, Smoking Gun, Vashion, Achilles, Rossi, Midnight Cowboy, Treasure Isle, Bounty Hunter, Bad Boy, Top Shelf, and that seem to be in the cut group. But I am depending on Cyndy, so I am not sure yet.
 
Ed takes what I think is the dump group around, and lots of dogs in this group, but lots left too. Ed gives them all a good look and calls out Feature Presentation to look at, checks his notes and tells her to leave the loose lead, and he won't stand so they all go out.  Feature Presentation is a good looking dog, but not today.  Lots of dogs left, it looks like thirty nine. I wonder if they will all go Select.
 
It is six o'clock and we have a long way to go. I am way too old for this. You better enjoy it. There go the first five.  Ed watches them. And tells them to go to the corner and makes some notes.  Now the next six, and he gives them all a long look, and sends them to the side. Now he wants to talk to the ring steward, and there goes the next five.  Ed looks at them as they pass, and the last one is Here Comes Trouble.
 
Now the next group of five, and some cheering, but who knows for what?  Still lots of dogs left.  Now another attention of five, and the ring is filling up. Ed seems to watch about a ten foot window in the white wall. And yet another five.   They stop and have a quarter of the wall covered.  Another five with a black in the lead.  Olivia held way back and now she goes, and here goes the last five.  An even division. Now the important cut.
 
Ed looks good out there and walks away and tells the steward to bring them all around. I think he is going to cut again and now from this side. There they go, and Ed looks at his note, and heads to the front and Ed is pulling his keepers, so far he hasn't passed anyone, and he leaves Pastor Burgos, a Mexican dog, Winter Nights, OH POHH, Midnight Harley, Stormy Night, Diamond Di Vici, Now he starts over and pulls them aout and sends more to keep, Out, Bicardi Gold, Dream Cather, Rossi, Midnight Cowboy, Levithan, and that is one whale of a cut.  Ten in the cut, and they take another pass, the only chance for this year, and there they go, some in there I like, but Ed didn't ask me. Lots of quality at this years National.  Thirty left as they leave the ring.
 
Can he give thirty Selects, and make Nancy Nellis faint?
