Need to address where the traps are
Cos there defo making them all step right Than left I'd be in beer garden about now Or at corner pin  Problems need ironing out How much would it cost dig it up start again ? |
|
By:
I cant see them digging it up and starting again
they are restricted with the bend radius requirements meaning that a track with straights of decent length would have a standard trip nearer 550-600 |
|
By:
No the track is a joke
Total disaster Go hand in hand with the clueless numpties on rptv |
|
By:

LOL ravage to No voters in Trouble
|

Why does that bloke on RPGTV keep saying "look" ?
I don't know his name but he cannot complete a sentence without saying "look" |
|
By:
everybody has ways of saying things sparrow,depending on where you are from,hes the best to listen to on that show
|
|
By:
I dare say he might be the best but it's irritating because he gives the impression that you have to accept everything he says. A bit like those who keep saying "listen".
By the way I was brought up in the East End of London and now live in Yorkshire  |
|
By:
look sparrow listen
 give him a break lol |
|
By:
Now listen Towcester is the future and look it ain't all railers innit. Know what I mean.
|
|
By:
Yes, good long run to first bend, much less trouble than bend 1 at Wimbledon, less trouble at 3rd bend than Wimbledon.
Dogs able to maintain their pace throughout the race. Does it suit front runners yes, where doesnt?? |
|
By:
Yes, backatrier. Your assertion about front runners is simply not good enough. You can't just dismiss the subject by saying "front runners yes, where doesnt??" when it is apparent that a great double winner of the Derby Westmead Hawk could not have won at Towcester.
|
|
By:
YES,
You guys obviously forget how many races used to have dogs being knocked over at Wimbledon, some races half the field would be bowled over at the first bend. How many dogs have been knocked over so far in this year's derby? This is Towcester's first year, I am sure they will tweak the track and and trap positions until they get it spot on. I remember the first derby at Wimbledon well, a local grader who didn't even lead in an S2 race (660m)the weak before the derby started went on to win (Pagan Swallow). I guarantee a grader won't be winning this year. Our sport has been in decline for many years now, for me Towcester is the bright light of the future with the management of the track trying their absolute hardest to improve the image of our sport. Let's give them a chance and hold back on the constant knocking of people who are actually trying to improve our sport. LA |
|
By:
well said, but cant agree and why would they do any tweak the track when they dont see anything wrong with the place
|
|
By:
must be something wrong you know look listen no what I mean everyone has opinions not all agree democracy you know can I get no you fecking cant I'm serving
|
|
By:
ship it I left out no worries oi oi

For a dog to come so far off the pace as Westmead Hawk did would mean it would have to be a messy race. No way could it happen in a clean run race there. We do need Towcester to succeed but this can only happen with a major upheaval to the present track. It's no use pretending it's ok now because we know full well it isn't.
|
|
By:
I'm not disagreeing but remember the Hawk was the Chuck Norris of the greyhound world. He could do things others couldn't dream of..
|
|
By:
Hawk on them Derby wins turned pretty handy to me
|
|
By:
And lots of space too
|
|
By:
Look where the Hawk came from in that Semi-Final. He would always be at least 4th out of that 2nd bend.
|
|
By:
Some utter dross on this thread - how the mind plays games after so many years.
Hawk was about 6L behind at the 2nd bend in the semi, from there he got a trouble free run and just got up. In the final he got a clean run to the 2nd bend when 2.5L behind the same dog as in semi, he then lacked a touch for 80m and got 5L behind, from there he got a clear run and got up a shade cosy. He had brilliant track craft and would have **** up at Towcester granted similar runs over 500M. |
|
By:
Ps. Yes I am happy with the track at Towcester. Final night will show the blueprint for a possible bright future for the top level of the sport.
Can the track be improved? God yes. |
|
By:
Ps. Hawk was 3L behind at the 2nd bend in his first final.
|
|
By:
So you are happy with the track "but God yes" it can be improved. And you think others talk utter dross.
|
|
By:
Yes
