hedley 1,900 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 Every meeting this Club cheats by starting every race a minute late., today's first race was 1minute 45 seconds late. They do this to extract every last dollar into the betting pools..but it encroaches into the Thoroughbred racing's race build up and form analysis. Quit this dispicable practise you cheating bastards! 47South and gary1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob 92 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 What about the time it takes horses to load into the gates, if they started loading them a few minutes before start time they would start the race on time as well Quit this practice you cheating aerosoles Eyespy and MiniJax 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedley 1,900 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 They're not starting too late today after that first race...a uniform 40 to 50 seconds late so far..which makes my 'tantrum' seem incredulous., gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flabbergasted 67 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 Haha Hedley What about all the times a bloody trot race or gallops race has gone way over time due to a false start or can't load or cast a shoe etc. and caused a delay to a greyhound race. Dogs already on track after a preview (stir up) which then basically becomes a waste of time as it's been too long so they've forgotten about it then having to stand around waiting some possibly losing interest and switching off. Even worse when it happens to a Group Race - usually only get one chance at them and it's ruined through no fault of the connections or club. Can't see any problem with any code holding and starting a minute or so late if it is going to help the turnover so long as it doesn't encroach upon or cause another race to be delayed. The more turnover the better for everyone. MiniJax, Eyespy, GOM and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Track Record 77 Report post Posted July 13, 2018 What about when handlers of the dogs blatantly box their dogs last to gain an advantage (supposedly). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
