It does appear the wides are a million unless 3 grades better. It’s embarrassing watching some of the paceless dogs in 1/2 turning in front at mo.

By:
agree its terrible
well 6x T6s in a row today lol place is like an upturned saucer on the move ffs |
|
By:
look who owns the track
|
|
By:
exactly
come summer it'll go patchy and dangerous  can i have a price that ?must have been some backhander or relative of someone to get that contract |
|
By:
people tell me romford not had going bias since the new sand been put down i wonder what plant they are on
|
|
By:
in the UK going bias is natural due to our climate, graded racing all dogs get a chance long term anyz
manipulated ground is dangerous and immoral, also eventually they pay worse for playing these silly games when mother nature trumps them so so short sighted as always |
|
By:
tells you what you want to know about the sand they have they still putting water on it every meeting i hope romford not got a water meter because the water bill will be the national debt
|
|
By:
ffs Doc your kidding, i've seen 2-3 dubious swtiches per meeting just watching dont even punt there
too many people scared to talk losing jobs etc etc cant really blame them but in the long term dont expect much to improve on the surface front powder sand same as towcester 4 second bingo |
|
By:
they tell you its having too much racing it's hard on the ground they have 4 or 5 meetings on tracks in aus nothing wrong with the ground out there
|
|
By:
absolutely its a cheap get out
monmore and romford are prime examples of piss poor surface and romford wimo is the least exciting racing there is, bang out bingo these days |
|
By:
i like looking at the aus greyhound cards get so much more pleasure doing them knowing the hard work done the ground wont switch during the meeting makes me want to put the effort in
|
|
By:
the wildcat derby at towcester... almost everything on the card smash break wins
yawn again why are there no people coming into this sport??? |
|
By:
yep i'll be doing Aussie also
|
|
By:
be rail towcester when the fast dogs turn up good luck drawn wide getting around
|

What is going on with the game at mo..? Seems as though it’s dying a much quicker death then it should! The going bias changes throughout a meeting should be investigated..? It would be betting fraud courtesy of the bookmakers if they were found to be changing it deliberately..

By:
Some nice dogs trialled for upcoming comps. The notebook came out after c ing first 6 trap 6,s had won. For future reference.
|
|
By:
PH.. what did they give the going for the trials..? It’s very odd after 6 trap 6’s go in, to then see the track switch to massive rails. No weather problems there today to explain it..
|

By:
4 bends - 40 2 bends - 20

By:
Thanks. It’s all very odd at mo.. be lucky.

Bit harsh on the Romford surface Czech, agree Monmore has been a disgrace for a long time.
I have followed the opens every friday for years. Its a long time since ive seen a bias there and dogs move off less on first look than just about any track in the country. |
|
By:
Romford has always been bang out bingo.. can’t be anything else the way the track is configurated. Aus is the way forward.. proper dogs, hardly ever see a fighter and a surface all have a chance on. Decent straights for dogs to stride out, and strong liquidity. Match betting, prize money different class which limits the need for non jiggers...
|

By:
i disagree old sand you could get plenty off the back,
track now is bingo powder sand as mentioned yawn fest, also when its dry in summer been told how patchy it gets which can be dangerous of course, granted with such low clay content and ecessive drainage it will unlikely ever go bottomless...however whats the opposite of bottomless ! |
|
By:
Agree re the sand now not being conducive for those turning off the pace, but that should be where a grader earns his money. You can have those early pace types flying out, but make sure those without the EP are the quicker dogs to make the racing competitive...

By:
the 6t4 chance just lead at romford 3 and 5 come off the pace to fin 1st and 2nd like every race depends which dog is on the hare around 1st bend
