bblunt 334 Report post Posted March 13, 2016 I don't give a stuff about times. Slower the better if it's better for the dogs' welfare which I believe it is. But, quick sprints today. 18s broken for the first time. And a C1 running 18.10. And no injuries? Is thus due to the new bottom-up watering system? Perhaps you're on to a winner? Hope so.

DC9 203 Report post Posted March 13, 2016 There was a bad breakdown in the pre-race trials but no idea if the track was a factor there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Never see Yeboah not finish off his race. Should've been checked for sure. Can you confirm they've actually changed the track management and process used? I've just assumed they have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just assumed they have when you see the dogs around yeboah and how hard he got it out of the boxes early and checked throughout most of the race, Its hard to say he didnt finish strongly when he never actually got going due to all the trouble...

I've just assumed they have Yes the process has changed and will only get better in the next month when with the break in racing the track can be turned properly and the full benifits of the watering from the bottom up will show its merits. bblunt 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
