can they get 6 dogs around the 1st bend at this p1sshole

Crayford..? Perry Barr? Harlow..? Romford..? Swindon..? Give us a clue doc....

the so called derby track

ffs

said last time on old track dogs on wide cant win the derby and i say now in the derby final if not in first 2 around the 1st bend you won't be winning

been told bockos doomie broke its leg very sad

I disagree they can’t win from that position.. but to be fair it was the same at Notts, the same at Wimbledon bar Hawk... the game has become more and more about speed and as such with a lack of strong runners in these events.. the finals become a bingo break comp.

Switch nearly half the winners at the don were not early pace dogs ?

Infact looking at the winners I would say more than half , The first derby there was won by a former s2 grader

Sorry case.. I was referring to where dogs turned in the final etc. The point I was trying to make is that the game has definitely turned more towards speed and that makes for non interesting finals at times..

I agree switch 

On RP website that Doomie has died following surgery on a broken leg. Desperate news.  Great dog.

awful

That is sad news they done their Best ,all concerned will be Gutted

Very sad indeed

terrible

Its a terrible shame. A dog with a huge presence and an aura about him that u wouldnt believe unless u knew him. Had that swagger that the great dogs have. He knew he was good. He will be sadly missed by all at the kennel and of course his owners. Dogs like him are nigh on impossible to replace. R.i.p. ted.

the faster the dogs the less margin for error
dont see any derby final winner
coming from off the back
any time soon
even big tracks now
except for graded races
where some dogs just stop
when they hit the front
