"It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive". I think that quote is talking about lurecoursing. From what I've seen of dogs chasing and catching, their joy is in the chase, the catch is just a mundane visit to the supermarket, and they don't much like the packaging (Sheesh, it's not even cooked, do something!). Dogs wander off, bored already.
I don't like live-coursing as a sport or for fun in principle, not fair on defenceless game to use dogs line-bred for 1000 years to outrun them. Not a level playing field. Like shooting mice with an elephant gun or fish in a barrel or bearbaiting.
Our three dogs do some lure-coursing now and then, but co-exist with the pet rabbit and cat. They do get toey out walking if a plastic bag blows across a field, that is like a bugle call for them. They don't care the difference between wild rabbits and wallabies, if it moves they move.

Congratulations to Cinnamon, that is fun. Our lurecoursing days haven't progressed to being competitive yet, it is still just a "fun run" day out. Dottie is lovely, she still has a sweet expression even when planning to attack the lure.
Your first shot is great, timing and expression.
