Modern day trainers…

Seen 2 dogs basically staggering around a Track,another in Same race crashed into the rail at the first bend ,Nothing was Done  , Only action was taken after the BBC got involved ..

Dogs Losing or Finding time week on Week is basically Ignored in our Sport , Tune into RPTV 

Some lifeless Dog will be trailing the Field for no apparent reason ,Depending who is on, there

Will no mention of such a poor performance .. Sums the game up ,Are such dogs tested post race ?

Is the trainer asked WTF is wrong with the Dog ? Very rarely ..

Is it happening More in the last 20 years since Betfair Started who Knows ? I would say Yes

regarding what we would call a Non Trier ..

Prize Money is so Poor ,The temptation to stop a shorty must be massive 80 Quid Prize money or a nick a couple of Bags laying ?

I fear you could be right Case, been watching the game for over 30 years now and have never seen such massive disparity in performances one run to the next. Now we know they are not machines, but the beauty of the sport is how consistent greyhounds are. The trouble is in certain kennels they seem to have a new breed of greyhound that don’t have that consistent gene .? They do though appear to have remarkably intelligent dogs that run better or worse depending on which side of the exchange those involved have their money….
