Trap 6
FINALISTS in the Premier Greyhound Racing St Leger and M Lambe Construction Birmingham Cup must wait until this Saturday to resume rivalries after Perry Barr was forced to abandon Saturday’s card following torrential rainfall.
Arc’s head of racing Dave Baldwin, who was at the Birmingham track for the gala meeting, said: “It was so unfortunate and frustrating, but there was little more we could do.
“We were hit with rain of biblical proportions in the area and the track quickly became waterlogged.
“We’d run the first race okay but then the heavens opened again and the track staff worked hard to make things safe and to clear all the channels for the hare system.
“We got up and running again over an hour later for the second race and all seemed good until the rain came again before the third and it ended up being a void race.
“The safety of the dogs themselves comes first and we did what we thought was right at that point and called it off.
“There was also a lot of people at the track, excited owners present and the race sponsors and you have to do the right thing by everybody.”
Having spoken to GBGB senior stipendiary steward Duncan Gibson yesterday, Baldwin confirmed that the two Category One showdowns have now been put back a week.
Perry Barr racing manager Martin Seal was tasked with contacting trainers involved and said: “I’ve had quick responses from almost all the trainers and we will go ahead with Saturday."

The Marathon now a 3 runner affair Sparrow
Such a shame but that is the state of the game I suppose. People more interested in that two bend nonsense these days.

I still fancy DARLEY DIGLAKE
Backed it myself at 6.4 and thought it would win from halfway but ran well though.
