Blogging is actually rather horrific. You air your views to the most open forum there is, and things are bound to just muck up. In fairness, Wednesdays OR's should've been easy pickings, alas you see 3 double-digit prices win. That's dog racing!!
Head Iton Haysey, well what a dog. Certainly needed the look round, and he absolutely trounced the field to post a calc 29.67. I must admit I made it around -20 for that race, and it looked a clock worthy performance. Well done to Mr. Race and Co, who made the long journey down from Derbyshire for the spin round, always makes it sweeter when picking up a monkey.
I think Wednesday's opens summed up the need for a look around the track. You had some pretty good dogs spinning round last night, and looked frankly lost. The 2nd and the 3rd bends, for me, are the biggies, as with the way the tracks cambered, you find that alot of dogs will pace into the bend, only to move off on the 2nd as there isn't the camber to keep the grey's in. The 3rd bend has, for a long time, been a make or break bend in racing, mostly for the railers. It seems as though railers do find alot of trouble getting to the front off of that bend (see the video of The Arc final from 2009 to see what I mean!)
Looking forward though, and I hope that the opens next week fill just as well if not better than this week. Hopefully trainers have seen that we are filling the opens up well here and enter their hopefuls. Trial Stake divisions of G-R-E-Y-H-O-U-N-D would be fab!!
