All the vacant traps should have been done first
You then have the 48 heats in the drum and draw out which heats they go into Then you have the traps 1-6 in the drum and you draw which trap is vacant Then you go on with the draw proper Not too complicated is it? correct |

good call hillcrest, unfair on railers this format
|
|
By:
yep railers had no chance of getting a vacant box inside them
|
|
By:
RP you can't please everyone......
"yes you can if you put some proper thought and effort in" |
|
By:
fortunate for the railers they are on the bias this year tho, the wide hoodoo now is as bad as the old side trap 1 imo good old bowser
they need to up the prize money as they have devalued the competition in so many other ways who wants tp pay 50k plus for a dog to win the English Derby now when you can beat by a grand grader first round |

Rule 80 Draw Procedure (ii) Vacant traps: If there are any vacant traps in the draw they will be drawn as middle seeds. thats the rule apparently but so unfair on all the railers very poor rule needs looking at

|
|
By:
Honestly think they will have to redraw
|
|
By:

 what will we get JK or Hobbsey to come out and smooth it over? |
|
By:

|
|
By:
Hahaha
|
|
By:
what bookmaker will be first up with heat prices
|
|
By:
Pat Starr been practising the downbeat 'I hate our draw' spiel
|
|
By:
she has an awful draw unfortunately, she is bang rails and Rumble in 2 is middle
|
|
By:
Oh well its a mad rule but if its middle traps how is 5 considered a middle trap
shirley only 3 or 4 can be vacant would be fairest way ? has to be a better way to make it more fairer |
