If there any injuries and withdrawals before next round
They should give the spot/s to the fastest third/s in 5 runner heats |

Did you mean 6 runner or do you have a vested interest in the fastest 3rd in a 5 runner heat? |
|
By:
no vested interest
If there are any vacant traps in next round, seems a pity not to fill them I don't think it will happen though |

Newbon used to say this, especially for finals. But to reinstate eliminated dogs would make a mockery of antepost betting?
|

By:
nice idea but you cant reinstate, once you are out you are out

Check out the 1968 Derby Final. A quite disgusting decision to re-instate Camira Flash, after finishing 4th in a semi where a dog was adjudged to have fought. Maybe someone wanted an O.B.E. - he belonged to Prince Philip. Of course the dog won the Final. The ramifications would make themselves felt seven years later when Shamrock Point suffered the same fate, but wasn't promoted into the Final - and won the Consolation Final ( a very lucrative open race in its own right in those day ) in a time 40 spots faster than the final.

My idea not well received I see...oh well

The only time a dog can be eliminated and reinstated this year is when they dead heat for the last qualifying place and lose the toss. Even then it can only be first reserve for the following heat in which the "toss" winner runs. Had that dog chosen a run off rather than the toss then the losing dog is out with no return even if the run off winner is subsequently withdrawn from the next round. (C) JK RPGTV.

What would they do if quarter race was void when would they re run it

I wasn't trying to dismiss your idea - my point was simply that the dog finishing third in a 6 dog heat was probably more deserving of this concession than one that finished third in a 5 dog heat. Just sayin... |

By:
Yes but a dog finishing 3rd in a 6 dog heat is already through
I was thinking of those 3rds in 5 dogs heats...which I feel have been harshly treated this year it is only for this round |

Yes but a dog finishing 3rd in a 6 dog heat is already through Not in the first round this year. |
|
By:
apologies
 you mean it is first two through from all the heats |
|
By:
Preference to those in 6 dog heats then

Lovely to see you posting regularly eBul but you seem to be making more slip-ups than me!
 |
|
By:
Yes it is amazing how I argue things without even bothering to find out the facts first
Still I am against 2 through in first round, I feel it should be three Still I see JK supports this idea of only two through in todays RP...still I have yet to read or hear anything of intelligence from that bloke |

I will stick to the graded in future, that is where I do my betting

By:
Hope to keep getting your input ebul. Going to be funny if TR starts pulling you for stuff
 Good luck mate |

graded racing is where its at
 let them pull this 2 dogs through in 1st round stunt again, long term you will see the overall quality of this comp decline and hopefully punters vote with their feet |
