alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted March 29, 2017 You say we need another meeting up here yet this week, we have an 8 card race meeting on Thursday, 10 races on Sunday and Lisa Cole has more dogs in than most of the locals and NoMS have been reopened to 3pm because they have not got enough dogs for a Monday meeting and people actually think we need another meeting up here and we can't even fill up two meetings now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted March 29, 2017 The extra meeting was a complete waste of time. Only 8 races. These races should have been carded at Waikato and Auckland to make up the missing races they have this week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something has to be done in the North with the way races are compiled. Noms continually reopened yet dogs are being left out - you hear it from trainers every week. I know of three trainers in the past two weeks who have nominated 5 or 6 dogs but have been only get one or two in yet there's hardly any races on those cards.Most of those missing out are quality higher (above C1) grade dogs. What's the point of having them and every time a meeting goes by without those grades being drawn then there's no dogs advancing up the grades. Rules need to be changed to allow races grades to be combined whenever necessary particularly in regards to middle distance and staying races and remove the ridiculous clause where full fields etc. plus reserves need to be drawn. Allow 7 dog fields in sprint/middle distance and 6 dogs fields in staying events and we might just save the industry in the North. bus stop, Gary Sharp, alltheway!!! and 4 others 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
