20 will be a good turnout.That will not matter because the meetings are targeting hordes of non existent far eastern punters.

lord Hesketh hasnt got the best  track record of running money making  businesses as far as im aware. He may well be overdue and prove us doubters wrong.I dont suppose taking advice from Chris "Walter Mitty" Page is helping.

Refreshing to have an 8 race card. Theres no need for 14 races. 10 is plenty. Would help the shortage of dogs situation, trainers would not be forced into running dogs that clearly have problems.
If anybody watched it, the racing was as trouble free as any current rack is. The pictures crystal clear HD and easy to get bets on with Hills and Laddies. This is going to become part of my punting week now. If Betfair markets pick up it will be blis. Get the money by 11.30 and rest of the day off.

14 x 6 dog races = 84 dogs
10 x 8 dog races = 80 dogs

not sure it helps the dog shortage situation

They ran 8X8 dog races = 64 thats Towcesters take on it. They the only track running 8 dog races.
No other BAGS track holds 8 dog races.
So if those only had 10 races that would mean 60 per meeting.
Currently BAGS tracks hold between 11 and 14 races per meeting of 6 dog races.
Lets call it an average of 12.5 races per meeting and say there 6 bags meeting per day.

So per day :  6dogs x 12.5 races x6 meetings = dogs needed = 450 dogs.

Therefore :   6 dogs x 10 races x 6 meetings = dogs needed = 360 dogs
Thats 90 dogs or 20 per cent less dogs needed.

turnover in the UK goes through the floor on 8 dog races, a few people want it but the majority don't
no betting turnover = no greyhound racing = no need for dogs

Catford used to do 8 dog races over the 385 metre trip, it was canine bingo. Fallers after carnage at the first bend and 30 lengths from last to first was not unusual.

bookmakers would love if we all punted on 8 dog races and would probably take bets off people that cant get a bet on,but who wants to bet on 8 dog races for serious money ,def not me

8 dog racing at CrayfordShocked

If Towcester want to run them why stop them?

I think they are hoping to stream them to Asian markets.

Anything that brings money into this game is good.Happy
Report ebulGery November 18, 2016 7:55 PM GMT
Sittingbourne, now Central Park, have tried and failed.

But if there is a streaming outlet, maybe they will try again?
Report ebulGery November 20, 2016 7:32 PM GMT
I see they are now using the A prefix for 8 dog races, I thought they were using B?????

I wonder how many turned up? Is it being streamed?

The only way 8 dog racing will catch on here. Is if all tracks suddenly change to 8 dog races.

That cannot happen, because most tracks are not wide enough and at the moment they cannot even fill 6 dog races.

Still GL TowcesterHappy
