Why can't the irish races wait 2 minutes

Funny they're normally  late off or having false starts for fun. But when you want them to delay for a minute or two. Bang!, off they go.

haha yes

Word has it that when the Irish nags go over to RUK next year Leopardstown are going to run the Ballsax at 5:20pm.

I suspect that the on going war between SIS & TRP will be be bad news for the stay at home punter.
Early signs are that SIS are sticking to their own schedule they will try not to let 2 of their English /irish  meetings overlap but appear to totally ignore what is happening on TRP.
The arrogance & contempt of SIS is never better illustrated than Saturday by scheduling a 5.17 greyhound race from Doncaster.
You can just see the punters in the shops as Blaklion etc are early fallers by rushing to the counter with a r/fcs on traps 1/2 !!!!

I have never understood who makes these decisions. Surely if it is done for the benefit of bookmakers and the levy, Irish bookmakers would want the same thing as UK ones?
