Good tracking MAGPIE

1ST dog meeting in the UK was at Bellvue Manchester
1ST meeting on 24/7/26 crowd was 1700
the following week 11,000 attended
This was postwar and the roaring twenties [would love to go back to the 20s must have been a real groovy time]

The beginning of the demise in the UK was live horse rcaing on TV in the 50s + 60s
Crowds are dropping thesedays
Perhaps all the internet online betting is responsible

Gotta admit since Ive bet with Corporate bookies and Betfair I have rarely attended meetings
MT79 is in the same boat as well not attending on course
Same must be happening in the UK

[mighty_tiger_79]

i dont get to meetings cos i work nights, but there is more available sitting at home then driving to the track

Speaking of betting with bookies.

NZ greyhounds in the morning. Base form around times. Bet on sportingbet to match Unitab (Up to $25 win/place) and you can get some crazy dividends X a good amount.

I remember earlier in the year in Feb. A runner in NZ paid $57 the place. Mainly because the pools were so small that the dividends were almost random.

AG Race 9 No4 Sea of Souls

Sources tell me last run was very good dispite alot of checks and squeezed out, will be looking to ping out 2nite and get across b4 the 1st bend which it just failed to do last start with the other dog clipping the heels. Hopeful of a clear run 2nite No1 is the main danger, quinella looks the goods.

No 1 scratched now

[mighty_tiger_79]

Angle Park

Race 1 --- Can Springfield Dash repeat the 29.93 (BOD) last start win. First splits show that he may not cross, but that means that you need to rely on those insides to ping. Don't think NYASALAND RED can lead this time from box 4. Is a bit too inconsistent for my liking. Willing to risk!

I liked Hamilton Rose's last run for some reason.

Selections 8-1-2-6

6 beats 2 for the exotic players

hamilton rose wins at $10.70 unitab

very nicely done!!!!!!!

and we could have layed Nyasaland red on betfair to make more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Oaksnaf]

Race 6 Ella Fair and San Juan look a likely quinella here. I think Ella Fair can return to the winners list from box 3, in a troubled free run. While San Juan likes some open space, suited by the middle draw and will be strong in the finish.

#3-5-1-6

Race 6 Ella Fair and San Juan look a likely quinella here. I think Ella Fair can return to the winners list from box 3, in a troubled free run. While San Juan likes some open space, suited by the middle draw and will be strong in the finish.

ENGLAND DOGS
There was a report in the media that many UK dog tracks have been closed down
One great track is the HULL dog track which closed in June 2009
Dunno why, they only charged $5 pound entry fee !
Is UK dog racing on the brink ?
Did some checking and found nothing about the closures

HISTORY OF UK DOGS
1533-1603 was a period when it is thought that Coursing events took place
1876 Mechanical lure on a straight track with 6 dogs running
1912 CircuLar mechanical lure was invented by O P Smith in the U.S.[1919 first track in California]
1926 First track in the UK was Bell Vue at Manchester
1985 Mal went to Wimbledon Greyhounds and lost
2009 Is UK dogs in trouble ?

BRETT LEE
Champion greyhound Brett Lee has thousands of offspring running around the world
In the UK his prodgeny are going very well
Some of his breed are the Magna dogs
Magna Boycott/MagnaTrueman/Magna Gough all dogs named after English cricketers
Magna Flintoff is a star there at the moment
I bought a 1985 Magna once, a f...g lemon

DID YOU KNOW
A greyhound runs at about 64kmh an hour
Thats almost a speeding fine


MONDAY NIGHT DISTANCE RACE RACE 8

1 AMBERS ACE...first try 731m, loves rails draws and a winner over 600m, chance

4 MARLOO...has won over the trip, owner is confident it will race well
5 KIMBERLY JINX... races ok at 731m, always a chance in these gr4/5 races
6 MICHELLE MCCOOL...first look at 731, trained by Jovanovic, keep safe, looks leader
7 SUPER HERO... first look 731m big 2nd 600m to San Juan, trip should suit, Jovanovic the trainer

SELECTIONS
3-1-5-2

Dunno about 1-6-7-8 could be completely wrong with thier odds
I reckon 2 is a PLACE bet
5 should be there EW

My selection is
R8-3 SLEDGE
will be a long way back early, but will be running on very very late in the race at odds
Im expecting about $8 on the TABS
EW
RATIO 1 WIN 3 PLACES

I think backing 2-3-5 EW if good odds is the safest option

3-1-5-2 MAL SELECTIONS
1-2-3-5 FINISHING ORDER

[1]AMBERS ACE led and ran a terrific race and winning
[2] BUDDYS BANDIT found one better again
[5] KIM JINX a handy 4th can do better

[3] SLEDGE our roughie actually disappointed me
This was its in the run effort
8/7R/6/4/3R/3
Railed very well and got to 3rd on the turn but only plodded in the straight
I thought it would run on better than that
Had 6 or 8 led I think SLEDGE would have almost won the race
SLEDGE 1X 3 RATIO returned a big PLACE dividend of $7-60

Thts 2 weeks in a row my selections boxed ran the TRifecta [which paid $168]
Even got the P4 boxed

Ive collected on 2 roughies in 3 previewed distance dabbling events
BARELYS IMAGE $11-20 + $2-20 EW last week 1st
SLEDGE placed on our 1x 3 ratio at $7-60 EW tonight
RISK IT our fav won the other race at $2-10 but was too short for me

ANGLE PARK

BREKKY MEETING

4-1 - super modern
ex vic dog who has won in FFA at traralgon - should be hard to beat in this

6-1 crystal skull - been racing in nice form at gawler - should be hard to hold out from the draw - 2,6,7 are multi chances

7-7 iluka jocelyn - won in nice time on sunday at strath, looks a tad better then these but only a small interest e.w

8-5 dazzler bale - better for the run last week, its an even field on paper.
