Tuffin does it again (monmore)

bad gradeing if they are A1 at other tracks they should never be in A6 or A8 simple as that and it doesnt really matter if there trials were not great

Maybe the said dogs couldn't run the track and needed time to adjust.Plus just because its A1 at one track it doesn't mean it will be A1 at another. I remember when they changed the track at monmore years ago. Some of the top grade dogs went 4 grades lower and some lower grade dogs went up 3 or 4 grades. It was great then. The bookies went on the old form!! :-) :-)

I dont know how Albans Maldini was not seeded wide after his last 2 races!! Wide throughout. Drawn in trap 3 today and just ran straight off around the 1st bend. Hope Tango Shane isn't too badly injured, according to the results on the dogs it didn't finish :-( :-(

Mill Emily took a while to get use to the track have to agree. Still think Bridge Bar was bad grading though.

Ditto, its not bad grading, Its good cheeting mate.

dear Highspider,

Bridge Bar is an APRIL 2005 dog that has had 102 races.

probably 95 of them at Nottingham

understandable that it would improve on its trials at Monmore.

thank you

Well you would expect improvement from a young dog, but you no as well as anyone that doesnt wear blinkers, job done! A1 DOG in an A6, and an A8

Why not highlight the other example given here? Which one was a BAGS race where a decent bet could be slipped on unnotticed?

Would the trainer involved be the reason? Have you got an hidden agenda? Dogs find time, jobs are pulled but lets not make Emily look like the worst case.

Was Jim at fault with the Cowdrill b1tch?

Highspider. I think your being harsh on Tuffin - he doesnt grade the card. Bridge Bar (Apr 05) has not raced since May. Reasonable trials behind two good prospects and likely to improve. Last Thursday, track was favouring rails- due to heavy rain falling. Plotted up against moderate opposition and duly obliged. The bookies spotted its potential and opened 6/4 - only small money invested. (SP 6/4)

If it hadn't of tinned the lids, it wouldn't have led, so therefore would not of won that far- maybe even not won! So not really fair on trainer or grader IMHO.

As with High Chrissie - The ** was just coming right from season, although the wheels did fall off the race before, you never know with these **es running through season. I wasn't on when she skated up :-(

Why would i have pulled that 1 out, the same day
Parkwest willy 28.25 A2, Ekatarina 28.56, Woodland Fox 29.08 A9, Obviously the track that day was flying, so why would have a hidden agenda ?......
Nothing wrong with getting it right, not havin a go at Tuffin, very good trainer with quality dogs, but the 2 in question where dropped in.

No, you did have ago at Tuffin. Look at the thread title. Tuffin [b]does it again[/b]. Don't claim you were not having a dig!

We both know the reason why High Chrissie would not be mentioned by you!!

High Chrissie got upgraded 3 grades for winning and is still competitive. Emily got upgraded 2 grades!!!! You still chose Emily to have a snide about.

Also, Ekaterina won again next time in a quicker time and Woodland Fox hacked up 3 runs later in a 20 spots faster time!! You obviously like your times!!

I still think Cowdrill's runner found more than Tuffin's runner!

You don't own dogs with Patricia do you?

You obviously got a problem with either High Chrisse or ME!
I made the point of EX A1 dogs being graded in such low grades at monmore, if it was a perry barr dog, maybe they would be in a lower grade than there old track. As for high chrisse looking back through her card, she was an A3 ** before her seasonal rest, as for what stable im in dont you think thats personal?
