That new black winning line is spot on….Sis commentator calling all the results from the still, just said I could never had called that before, and some people are saying no difference, woww what an improvement all round!

new camera disaster. trust romford to fix the wrong thing next time they should get the right sand
Report LoyalHoncho December 26, 2022 10:34 PM GMT
As well as sand - I bow to those more knowledgeable on that subject than me - what dog race tracks everywhere need imo is far superior track lighting.  Some track jackets are so soiled that distinguishing traps 3 and 6 or 1 and 5 on like coloured dogs can be very tough. Not to mention removal of tractors, spare boxes, happed up whatever's inside the surface so that we can have a reasonably uninterrupted view of what;s going on.
Report go racing December 27, 2022 8:53 AM GMT
As the resident cameraman said, anyone that cannot see the massive improvement with the new camera angle needs to go Specsavers. Can now see trap draw, break, pace up, first bend, back straight, run in and a perfect still on the black line, SIS commentator complemented that he could now call a finish, impossible before. What is not to like, well done Romford!
Report dr . atkins December 27, 2022 9:55 AM GMT
people after all these years still don't get it they cant beat you with a bad camera angle but they can by going around with the bowser every race because they put the wrong surface down and getting someone with a hosepipe to water certain parts of the track but people will come around in a few years and see what i've been seeing for last 5 years but i was just moaning all the time strange that people now saying what i was saying 5 years ago on here

Report LoyalHoncho December 27, 2022 11:49 PM GMT
I've never understood this going business and never will.  And what I don;t understand most is why all the usual subjects are moaning about it still instead of having dumped the place and looked elsewhere for a track with more going for it.  I dumped Romford as a serious concern years ago when a Friday night open class railer called Cavan something got stuck in rail-glue I knew nothing about and lost a four length lead around the last bend to allow a wide bitch who hadn't won for years and just about never won again, to gain four or five lengths and go by.  No point in even trying.
There are far better tracks than Romford to play at.
Good luck all.

TBF I cant remember the last time the Traps or hare  failed Round there , Most no races Due to not getting people on the 1st 2nd bend over 575 .
Report now wheres that switch!!! December 28, 2022 10:54 AM GMT
LH, its not so much the going bias, its the complete lack of any consistent form shown by any dogs these days. Now that is either down to one of three things..
1) Trainers these days are just bang average
2) Manipulation of those contracted trainers by their bosses to ensure its like bingo
3) Said trainers/connections fed up with running for poor money and deciding laying/punting is a more secure way of them making money.
You can study all the videos in the world, look at all the various formlines, but if connections are not trying, they are just not trying

Towcester will contact the trainers involved on Tuesday to discuss what should happen next. The competition has unfortunately seen a series of mishaps that included winter weather and mechanical issues. Monday was sheer bad luck.
£10K final and they can't have two people ( preferably ) on each bend to try and have at least a chance of stopping such a fiasco.  Just for one race of a night.  A big feature race!

How much do you think they GBGB would want to give up their position and allow another body to come in and run the sport?
Report LoyalHoncho January 3, 2023 7:53 PM GMT
And who would that body be?  This was a track/promoter shortcoming - nothing to do with the GbGb.
Report now wheres that switch!!! January 3, 2023 8:00 PM GMT
LH.. a group of owners would surely do a much better job. Proper businessman who have actually been successful in their lives. Christ im sure between the decent billy bunters on here there would be enough money about to get rid of the GBGB...
Report LoyalHoncho January 4, 2023 2:54 AM GMT
And who do you recommend and why would they give their scarce time to running GbGb when the average owner just wants a bet on his dog when it goes in and the above average owner probably runs his own business and has no time for sideshows or diversions.
Report now wheres that switch!!! January 4, 2023 10:46 AM GMT
LH.. you are missing the point, its not about running the GBGB, its about replacing them completely. A complete new start, under new persons who actually know about the sport. Regarding your thoughts on the time it would involve away from businesses, have you seen how much time the GBGB spend on the sport each week.. at a guess i would estimate an hour max!
