new track = great
sounds like everyone delighted with the restaurant etc unfortunately the mistakes they've made on the racing side ie track design, 8 dogs, %s on 1st night, camera angles, trials cancelled etc making nearly every mistake going  this will never be a track for me |

I heard I heard bollox name the trainer than????

Have moved one of my dogs from there already,variety of reasons tbh,cant get a trial never mind a run,no streaming,cant get recordings from the track (when you do see a race the camera angles are awful) plus hes a slow starting wide that may even struggle to grade on when they put the eclipse 3rd in A3
 Absolutely love the place,facilities and betting wise (if you can win at rommers you can win here) but just doesnt suit me personally as a long distance graded owner there,how can you not get recordings of your own dogs races without going through s.i.s or the hassle of setting up your own feed? |

By:
who's crying riddler
how many people are actually betting there regularly other than at track? liquidity is non existant on here can you get a bet on with high st books? |
|
By:
I SAID PUNTERS ON HERE
ARE YOU ONE OF THEM ? |
|
By:
haven't had 1 bet there yet
don't think many punters on here could give 2 fcks about betting there tbh |
|
By:
Televised opens are the only times ive had a proper go there,have been one other time over xmas but just played the tote all night for fun,havent had a bet there since and doubt i will till its televised again or streamed somewhere tbh.
Them thursday night opens may as well have been run on the moon for betting purposes which is a shame when you consider the sums that were bet on the henlow guff the same night. |

By:
TV is king nowadays
people dont bring their armchair to the track |
|
By:
when asked to buy a dog at the track the trainer said 5grand upwards
 . i see dogs who ran in a 10,000 pound final the other week were running for 145 pound last saturday night i could buy a dog for 500pound and run it around crayford for that prize money |
|
By:
See practically every race again on thurs was won with a dog that led early
|
|
By:
think portman park have a better track then towcester
|
|
By:
a few on here would be negative even in a positive situation..
but have agree even with the usual suspects in this instance so far its been a pathetic start, no streaming or vids wtf? no betting, dogs not getting runs... and the track itself yawn yawn yawn!!! only need to be a "5 second greyhound punter" real talent and vision not required |

"5 second greyhound punter"
surely patrick loves the place then  |
|
By:
after his first night high £ am sure novelty is wearing off tho the place has gone from hero to zero in a month..  |
|
By:
patrick is v fickle...often a trait seen in a lot of raving puffs
|
|
By:

 |
|
By:

 |
|
By:

 |
|
By:
they could easy change track but i think S.i.S would not be pleased
|
|
By:
Ive had it bang off there...just wish we could get more from the place for betting purposes!
its not an iq contest lads,its about £ notes |
|
By:
Yer I heard pat had £10K on target Harris to win a marathon at Towcestor last week
He got the 20-1 at the track but knew the other five dogs would keep running up each other arses at the bends |
|
By:
yes ravage,i did the bet after the race,always the best way imo

|

Been away for a month, and interested by the comments made, as this new venture in my opinion will make or break the greyhound industry. I watched the big sky meeting and the one thing that occurred to me, was the width of the track. As the track was built for 8 dog racing, the 6 dog races did not suit the dogs who ran wide, as they had to cover more ground than normal.
|
|
By:
Becca, surely only wide runners would use the full width of the track?
|

By:
How dya spell it anyway? Always thought it was Towcester

By:
Correct woodman, hence the bias towards railers. Maybe they should have an Olympic style start with a staggered start for all lanes!!
