lad27 404 Report post Posted June 2, 2018 Wait till you own a dog that's a railer and keep getting outside draws. They say once the dogs finishes racing the pie chart will be all about even - bollocks! modest mouse and Jaytee 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say once the dogs finishes racing the pie chart will be all about even - bollocks! Would depend on how many starts the dog has. If a dog has just 8 starts it would be miraculous for it to draw every box once, although not impossible. After 80 starts it should be fairly close to even (10 of each) but it won't be perfect. Even after 40 starts it should be a reasonable spread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lad27 404 Report post Posted June 2, 2018 I had a dog with 89 starts Inside draws ( including box 4 ) = 37 Outside box draws = 52 Would have won and placed more than the 33 times he did if drawn inside top 3 boxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bus stop 230 Report post Posted June 3, 2018 As we all know luck pays a big part in the racing game box draws are no different good dogs with box speed can over come the draw that doesnt suit their racing style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draws are random, no matter what has gone before. So be it. Unfortunately for Shelley above, the next start could also turn up as box 6. (Hope not). One chance in 8 each time. Hope life is treating you well, lad27. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lad27 404 Report post Posted June 3, 2018 Bus Stop some dogs know that when their in the inside boxes it's game on. Whether they sense been closer in or hear the lure better makes all the difference. I agree box speed is gold but inside draws can assist your dog greatly if they love been down by the rail. Jape all is well, the punting has been put on the sideline with family commitments but finally have one racing greyhound at the moment that made herself famous on the 'Catching Pen' with coming out backwards. No more greys for next 2-3yrs but may own a percentage in a back leg at some stage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
