Great race , and congratulations to R Adcock for getting this dog back to its Best.
The draw was the key to the result in the end, but taking nothing away from the winner, grinds out the distance.
That Pirate dog is not going to win much, if anything racing like that
I was correct in the Wanganui Stayers, Ring the Bell d failed in the final, and I cleaned up off Dusty. Anything can happen in a race Hound . I am sure you more than most have seen plenty of non chasers cause havoc to genuine dogs
You obviously cant read a race very well, watch this dog in every start since it has been in New Zealand. IT IS FIELD SHY. Has no chance in the final unless major collisions in the race
One huge flaw the Greyhound Assn never addressed which came to light after this inquiry is that David Schofield was the trainer of these dogs . Denis Schofield was the registered trainer but only picked them up to go to the races.
The Assn knew about this and this is misleading to punters
So if this is allowed, we should get Winston Peters to train B Coles dogs. what is the difference?
Just driving them to the races should not make this right
I feel the age of Ring the Bell counts against it in the silver collar, (putting in 2 big distance races in a week like Wanganui)
I cant see anything strong or good enough to push Dusty, unless a new import appeared out of the woodwork for the Silver Colar
I see the Roberts Kennel has had 3 put out in the last week
Maybe these trainers having to train dogs with soft toys that are approved by the ASS is half the problem
The Racing is getting worse, and punters are leaving in droves, last week in the Wanganui distance heat Christian Cyborg clearly stopped chasing
Then with clear air in the final it tried it's heart out
Winding up, it was a clear second last week and faded to 4th, in a very average 645 field, this dog was a prolific group 1 winner and raced the best distance dogs in Australasia.
Now it is racing mediocre fields struggling to keep up
The leaders looked to be fading last week in a average field
Really, give this dog the retirement it deserves. it is going backwards way before the 600 mark
It has had enough, it looks tired, might have to change its name to "Ring out the Rag" (get every last drip from it)
It is a prolific winner over the extreme distance , it is over 4 and half years and won over $390.000
Yes I usually bet on betfair for Golf for the roughies
The TAB seem to be ok with the short favs
opening round, was able to get $21 / 4.50 for VJ singh in the champions tour
Betfair never got towards that
Problem I have is the option only available before first round
I am sick of the options on the Golf the TAB offer (why bother if you wont have these available for 4 rounds)
Before round 1 they give you the options of multiple tournaments ,winner, top 5
Then after round 1 you dont see the same events return as options
Just another reason for me to keep loading up my offshore accounts
Squeakers are NOT allowed (you must use something like a bottle with stones in it, a rattle, or some other means of audible device that does not mimic an animal
good luck trying to enforce that one , the entire industry has become a joke
who wants to bet on a bunch of non chasers
Greyhound racing is just a roulette wheel, does not matter how many dogs are trained by one trainer, punters just want a field
The dogs are well over raced, look at the form of some of these fields, they are rubbish, 80% of the dogs dont chase properly or are injured most of the time
But punters dont care, they just want a field,
This dog absolutely crucified Charlie Bo Bo today
No mention of it in the stipendiary report
CHARLIE BO BO ( 6 ) - was forced to race widest to the home turn.
Do your F**n job stipes , this cat (Cawboourne Brandy was not interested in chasing the lure at any stage
what are you guys doing while the race is on?
Watching Coronation street?
