NRs in 6 dog races seem to occur so often in the last 6 months.

Is it lack of dogs, costs incurred owning dogs, state of tracks, too much racing?

Maybe it's just me not noticing it in years gone by.

not enough dogs to sustain the amount of racing per week

should be maximum of 3 tracks per session, ideally 2 for morning & afternoons
12 races per card is plenty, ideally 8-10
put more hcaps on
massive cull of sprints
fri and/or sat night racing for all tracks
promote the sport

basics

Thank you, everyone.

Two strange occurences today:

T2 at Sunderland, I think, veering off right at the first bend (for seemingly no reason) and leaping over the fence into the countryside.
Poor guy looked to have a long way to catch it.

100/1 Bf winner at Sheffield

Have you seen the race comments for that race at Sunderland (2:04)?

Trap 2 - Middle to rails, every chance DNF - WTF was the race commentator watching?
