I doubt that the difference would concern RTB very much. We often talk about second-phase acceleration when discussing greyhounds but this chappie has the best third-phase speed that I have seen.

The time was correct and the winning margin in time was 1.74 seconds - I don't think I've ever seen a dog win by so far! I notice Forbury have no sectionals there- have they ever done them or is there any reason why they don't do? jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepy 69 Report post Posted July 15, 2017 Hi Neil. Out of curiosity, what was his time over the 310? Be interesting to compare to other sprints on the day. I can remember swift fantasy trailing 17.40s I think from memory at addington by herself. Regards James jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did their opening sectionals as well out of interest. RTB out in 6.90 and PP in 6.79, so run homes were RTB 11.46 and PP 11.69. Jason - I'm working on that.
