THE GAME IS FINNISH

BEN STAR 175 K  BRAINS DONE RE any advertising ..

100-1 Calico Brandy PP.

A great Race apparently,,  I seen the Same as Fats appeared to be 2 dogs fckin about up front look at the dogs behind if any proof is needed  ...

I thought Calico Brandy put the anchors on in his race. He should have won two or three lengths for me.

Thats the problem these days fattie. They all got that shoite hare. No rattler anywer. Game gone to pot. 2 fast dogs. Thought there was lots of after you sir goin on. As case pointed out look at dogs in behind. All ended up in a heep.

I thought at 1 time they were gona let boons dog come n mug them. Sir charlies dog out with washin appeared on the seen as well.

Dunno whether or not it was lack of experience at the track
Or the track itself
Only saw a few races but some dogs
Werent right from the boxes

So you think its the quality of the dogs private.
Id say it was the track at those boxes
W ould the track at that point
Not be as compacted as it should be for the
Jump out of the boxes
Its off the bend granted
But if you use the same boxes week in week out
The ground must get more compacted around
Them due to the handlers, boxes and dogs
Weoight bearing down
Wouldnt have that where the boxes are now
Would you ?

Only good thing is that books are all over the place
With there opinions
Shame there not like that all the time
But than again can’t get on with most anyway

As i,ve said on this thread and others times meen nowt round gaff. Constant over watering dont help either. All thru last year and last nights start to the derby sliw going. Y. They want a safe track. Loada shoite. I was hoping they would move boxes forward 10 yrds. They said they were gona make alterations. Dont c any. Facilities at the place are fine. I will never get head round track. As fattie says it is wot it is n we gotta get used to it.

Have to laugh ..... My missus is watching RIP OFF BRITAIN !

fair enough PF...I thought it was big for a trade if nothing else
it rarely cops but it usually trades shorter as the comp goes on

& as for towcester, been saying since the 2nd meeting (1st televised meeting) that this is not a track for me
fundamentally it is flawed, despite all the media bs to the contrary
basically it is unchanged since then bar a few deck chairs being rearranged
and it is not fit for purpose

then throw in all the other bollox like the final being run in daylight, lack of TV coverage for the later stages etc
and I can honestly say I could not give a fack about it

First, I would point out some major good points about Towcester, Visually for TV viewers, a great view, no billboards blocking or distracting viewing (excellent this needs to stay the same), it is the nearest thing in the UK that resembles an  Aussie track for viewing (again excellent)
Towcester TV is great, likewise the increased growth in TV coverage of the event (brilliant)

The negative is the going or apparent lack of control of it? why? -  well the majority of hounds are bred for speed so when owners see that their expensive purchases are not getting away to great effect, then notice the slow finishing times and the fact that 500m is a bigger test in distance than is normal, well they start to fear they have purchased the wrong sort?( subjective paranoia) which could trigger a change in the breed if the big event continues to be held at Towcester or the circumference of track and more controlled going not possible?

Before the start of competition I expressed doubts about slow away wide runners on this track, the surface does look loose out wide sometimes, and trap 6 is not the place to be round this gaff without early? likewise I would not mind any hound I fancy running out of trap 5 round here particularly if middle seed.

Now I know nothing about track management, but perhaps they should invite other groundsmen with experience to see what they can do to produce a more even consistent racing surface.(which it is not)

I think we'll see a different Wildcat next week. Showed great gears, just could'nt clear the Brandy. Obviously need to trap a little better and be closer to the rails.  Would i be right in saying Wildcat has as much early pace as anything in the competition that can be genuinely considered an outright winner?

Most of them forced to put breaks on at first bend.

Just a little short of room for middles around here, with the wides cutting in the first bend more than normal?

Alfie’s Prince 3/1 in four dog heat
Hutch won egg spoon race other week can’t have him 6/4
Top can’t have
Alfie’s very fast dog but does need motorcycle get home

So hutch 6/4 or Prince 3/1
3s huge in context of the race

Want nice 5.10 split befor he gets outstayed

I just about agree with you joevalue147 but Brandy himself was hampered, slipped and recovered at the first bend and is likely to do better too.  I don't think there is much between either, dog other than trap draw, at present.

Brilliant. supergrudge will be going mental.  he'll be on the phone to Rayment in the morning!
