Rather insulting to all those racing. Do you know every single dog racing? Do you know who is potentially injured or in season at the moment? Do you know the entire breeding plans of every trainer, what litters they have on the ground? How they are breaking in, how far away they are from racing? Moreso, do you know their entire racing plans, what races the trainer aims to win, what series they want to enter and which ones they don't? Of the trainers you mentioned only one had a runner in these heats and deservedly won, but how can you compare the others when they didn't even have a dog running in these heats?
As someone mentioned earlier - a snapshot of a moment in time. Things change - fast. People make racing choices for whatever reason for their dogs - that doesn't mean the entire future is in wreck and ruin.
Do you also realise the impact reading your comments may have for the owners and trainers of the dogs? You have clearly labelled every single runner as below par and to give up. These people are the lifeblood of our industry. For you to belittle their input so easily and halfheartedly is unfair. We should be thankful they are here without them all of us may not be here at all. Not every heat, not every race is going to be representative of what is on offer at the moment and certainly every race does not have a worldbeater - not every dog can be. That is why we stand and applaud those who stand out during a season.
Congratulations to everyone involved with every single runner in those heats - for being there and supporting our sport - stand tall and proud. All the very best to those in the final. I for one will sing your praises.
Sometimes it's not an easy road, but the road gets somewhat more difficult when you have to deal with square wheels.
