@GreyhoundBoard
, are you fit for purpose? I’m just a Veteran trying to run dogs in Britain, when you see other situations like Debbie Calvert's saga the GBGB have questions to answer the GBGB were approached for comment but have so far refused to say anything on the situation

Amusing that McCool complains about the expense of operating his kennels whilst he's completely ignored the expense that horse racing tracks go to in putting on race meetings.
Shame though, that GBGB/RPGTV is too backward to incorporate drone replays (or any videos on RPGTV at all). Having seen a couple of vids of Towcester, on the Foxfly youtube, I'd much rather bet on them than conventional vids. |

Mick's not breaking the law running his drones. Neither are the track owners in offering positions to others.
