Phoenix, run by Patricia Parkent, demonstrates a 'swimmer's turn' off the flyball box with the ball successfully captured for the return over 4 jumps. Besides a racing harness, Phoenix is wearing safety wraps designed to protect stop pads from the sudden acceleration and deceleration performed during the relay race.
