If Wimbledon were to go then there wouldn't be a dog track with a London postcode....that would have been unthinkable years ago no dog track left in London.

I can't believe all the Sarf Lahndahn mob like slippy don't remember 8 bend Handicaps. For a while the first race on a Saturday was always an 8 bend handicap. I remember making many a trip through the blackwall tunnell to back the good thing off scratch with my old man, god bless 'im.

Howdi... I swear this is true, When you stated 20 years ago, for that dog race, it reminded me of the bet I did.. and it could have been the very same race!
I had a 50p comb tricast 6-2-1, and as you said, the 3,4 & 5 dogs tumbled, one of them ended up in the hare channel and they stopped the race. Of course the cameras were on the 1-2-6 dogs, and I was counting the payout when the race was stopped. Not my best day :( Best thing I ever saw in a betting shop. Old bloke did i tricast 1-2-6 (fav numbers every race) 33s,25, and 6s or such like - 3 favs took each other out at bend. He'd stood to win a very tidy some and cheered home - strung out like washing - job done, going mental at the screen. Hare stopped - void race. He asked to see the Betting Shop Manager and demanded payment as he said somebody knew his bet and had stopped the hare. Refused payment and wiped out everything on the counter with his walking stick - he was in his 80s then - 20 years ago. The whole fecking shop stopped and you could have heard a pin drop |
