Sunday Graded Races on Cov RPTV In Future

It's the derby
That could a reason !

nah its cos the bookies oops typo i mean the track management want competitive racing

is that fact ravage?? do u have it on good authority?

Good luck to any one who is cleaning up at Coventry
I am happy to lay until they get a hare not a mop lot don't see it they say top trainers wouldn't  run there
There .not spoil for choice in the old days henlow and kinsley Yarmouth pboro would never see top dogs only chaz on his holls at Yarmouth but now beggars can't  be
Coventry will iron out faults 1 to flat bends could do with small banking 2 hare or a teddy bear3 why do they pull a trip line over track  .

Well it's the only logical explanation I could come up though would be surprised and disappointed if HF went from open racing to having some grading racing on a Sunday rptv races. To me he's the only decent fellow left who cares about see top quality dogs run, you can tell about how he's trying to keep the old races alive.

Though if the track just goes down the bingo bags route then it's RIP and it becomes like all the other joke tracks

couldnt agree more

they wont watch it, viewing figs will be down massively, advertsising down, less ep's. massive fail

has to be derby

would you rather have no racing at all, or graded being shown?

a lot of people own graders and want to see them live on tv, if nobody owns the lesser dogs then breeding goes down even more

be careful what you wish for imo be cool

Can see what people are saying but then again how many dogs have ran at coventry in the opens on sunday will actually be entered in the derby maybe between 3 and 5

To me if you own a graded dog should be at your local track and therefore go and see if run live

ravage,many peoples local track is 2 hours+ drive and what about syndicates with members far and wide?

I cant imagine cov dropping below 8 opens on sundays cards tbh with 4 graded.

i live in Portsmouth, got graders Swindon, Sunderland and Coventry

what chance have i got with no local track?

if graders stop getting attention that's it for the sport everyone has to stop squinnying and get a grip about graded racing and bags ffs we need it more than anything!

every litter bred cannot be open class

The only time harry will have any graded racing on a sunday will be when the opens dont fill,this weeks calender has 1k to the winner cat 3 comps starting and finishing every weds and sunday plus 6 or 7 opens every sunday for the next 2 months.ravage again is right about keeping the old races alive,hes bringing back the sovereign stakes (sprint) as a cat 2 in august and starts the lady godiva stakes (bitches) cat 2 in july,there wont be many graded races on a sunday night i can guarantee you that,harry loves them just as they are!

very true czech. point still stands though. mix em up and you'll keep the open fans on side, go all graded and you wont.

To be fair, if I had dogs anymore (any longer) and they were graded I'd be at the track 95% of the time to watch them run, and ceratinly wouldnt mind a mixed card

frankel, point accepted. the 'in future' bit may have been very misleading

i don't preach "all graded" even tho its most important to me,

just open race head downs who slate graded and BAGS really do need to think beyond today and tomorrow, everyone has to be very open minded in the current climate

donemylot would you still be there 95% of the time if it was a 150 mile round trip to go

I wouldnt own dogs to travel that far. I've done the Ilford-Victoria-Canterbury train ride every Sunday to walk one of mine. I wont be doing it ever again

panda, I actually lie there. I was in Ilford when having dogs run at Sittingbourne and in kent when having an OR at Rye House MIlton Keyens etc.

Mind, they werent on telly but I would have gone back then. Not sure now.
