 |

By:

|
|
By:

for the record spoke to the owners of Holdem Spy the dog has a badly split web which went coming off the last bend which probably explains why he hung up the home straight as for the comment about the cameras going on the knobs at the third bend notice you werent saying that about sunday when he beat a better class line up and the whole track erupted what a pillock.
|
|
By:
sorry to hear about the split web lock up,hope he recovers soon,hes one of the games stars for sure.
Not sure what the rest of your post is trying to say,i assume you think hes straight and entirely genuine? |
|
By:
yes bbc2 the rest is history.14 from 24 greyhound data rating of 147 if you owned greyhounds for another 30 years you wouldnt get one like him.by the way do you still masquerade as the bookmaker john skinner ripping off the genewral public?
|
|
By:
the dog has terrific pace not knocking that but he has always been quirky
|
|
By:
quirky is a lot different to ungenuine that you referred to in your earlier post, he moved from a named trainer to a top trainer 14 from 24 is the history and a nasty injury was responsible for last nights events,racing needs these dogs that make the hairs on your neck stand up when you see them.
|
|
By:
i see another one referred to as a lunatic ran a terrific race to come from behind and beat the track record holder,o for a kennel full of these.
|
|
By:
lockup surely the more doubters the better if you like the dog, fashionable dogs that average joe like and want to bet are seldom value
|
|
By:
lock up,its just punter talk,every one of us would love to own both those dogs and i'd bet every one of us here enjoy watching them race,if you want to take offence thats up to you but i'd suggest if all you want is people to blow smoke up your a55 then owner/trainer orientated forums such as greyhoundscene is more for you,this is a punters forum.

thought about this again last night, before i just read the injury, and i would still have bet the 4/5 and 8/11. i'm happy it was a good bet to be honest. i thought the only way he would get beat was if he arrived at the bend whilst 5 was shuffled out wide and took spy with it meanwhile 2 or 3 got loose. i felt he could lose 5 lengths IR and still win, split web might explain it, even quirkyness though he doesnt do it too often looking at his record, not like ayamzagirl doing it every other week. just think as a bet was unlucky not to draw, was no offers IR. hope it was down to split web and he recovers quickly, super fast animal with unreal pace into the third, made the winner look a4 going into the 3rd.
|
|
By:
you were ul not to draw for sure but was def not.. no offers IR imo i wasn't in the slightest bit shocked and away from Coventry i think evch he will throw in the odd one of those, just hope its never a dq i love the dog the quirk works for him
still some 100s left for the derby  |
|
By:
maybe czech. might bet the 100s in the week leading to derby, there is 6 weeks or so for him to get there lol
|
|
By:
i spoke to one of the lads at Coventry the other week they are on @400s thought i was top price 200s, i am pretty sure they will do all possible to get him there
 make him a 50s shot tops tbh |
|
By:
i wouldnt race him again before the derby to be honest, especially with the injury now. month off, couple of trials / derby trial stakes race to make sure he gets there....no offence meant but if he keeps looking straight he will near enough have to eat the sand to be knocked out.
|
|
By:
split webs used to mean one race a fortnight,when i was a boy at least,not sure if they have found a better way of stopping them splitting repeatedly now?
|
|
By:
have had dogs where the web has been completely split by the vet.takes a few weeks to heal
|
|
By:
yes beeb have heard that also,its better to be completely split,or at least that used to be the case
|
|
By:
I thought he waited, my standard response for every dog from now on will be "he or she is the fastest and most genuine dog i've ever seen", that should save me from being branded a knocker, might mean i'm a sad opinionless **** but at least it will ensure i don't get the usual branding of knocking a dog

the biggest problem with webbs is to stop dogs licking the wound a supply of redundant socks are the best solution
|
|
By:
webbs areusually done at the traps by pawing

"he or she is the fastest and most genuine dog i've ever seen" I think you're on to something there. It's a bit like Private Eye using tired and emotional for drunk and small but perfectly formed for gay. All the readers know what they mean but they can't be sued for libel. In greyhound parlance very game in defeatis often pretty damning. Any other such euphemisms? |
|
By:
Very, very good idea Miss Wales. That topic deserves its own thread where a bona fide phrase could be adopted by the majority so that club members can understand exactly what the opinion is leaving sensitive owners, connections and some trainers oblivious to upsetting remarks.
By the way lock-up, if a split web caused the dog to hang on the run-in, what do you think caused it to fight like a tiger just after the line? Perhaps a harsh remark from the dog alongside or perhaps a grain of sand up the nose? |
|
By:
its the non gamblers that take major offence imo, all heart no head in a black and white world... no room for grey
|
|
By:
the problem is we all have different opinions
 |
|
By:
^^ thats how the exchange started
 |
|
By:
of course but some people wont accept other peoples without taking real offence, they are the ones with problems not the people who call a pig a pig

not fluent at the bends - checking like a b'stard or lame as *uck

in answer to the remark of non punters talking, lets hope all of you who think hes dodgy have got the minerals to lay him on here when he runs i for one will gladly take your money.
|
|
By:
now your looking silly, is that regardless of price you want to bet him?
the dog can never make you look right, only make you look wrong if you are saying he is a million percent genuine and will NEVER ever do anything untoward... i respect your heart and loyalty but you cannot win money punting with those traits |
|
By:
why does someone thinking he is iffy automatically mean they want to lay him? "iffy ones" do win?
|
|
By:
In my experience these sorts of dogs normally pay their way. Every dogs has his price. If I was on at 4/5, I'd have been tempted to lay it off at 1.5 pre race for some "free money"
 |
|
By:
lock up,i think you are being a bit naive tbh,id imagine most of the lads posting are big fans of your dog and want to watch him every time he runs,hes an absolute star of the sport and one that should be embraced for his quirks as it makes him box office,if you want to take offence at opinions of him thats up to you but like i said no-one is gonna blow smoke up your a55 on here.
Really hope hes ok today and look forward to him back in action asap  |
