MAL i seriously give up!
How the fricken hell is a trainer supposed to get a dog race fit and ready for the Nationals if there is no BLOODY race to run in. We will go into the heats for the Nationals underdone, not race fit and not a hope in hell of doing any good. I can keep trialling him solo until his legs fall off BUT its race fitness he needs. The week before the heats and the ONLY distance race you can get is a grade 4/5 on a Monday night which doesnt help when your dogs a grade 3.

RK stop your BICKERING
After all there is an Open grade distance race at Mount Gambier this Saturday...

Thursday week National Distance Championship races
22 nominations
The good news is that there should be 2 heats and 2 full fields


DUTCHYpet
R6-1 CRYSTALL SCULL running at APK this morning

Looks the winner
BUT
Im just gunna watch it go around
Having its first look at APK with the different lure
Hope it wins for the Issacsons

[ryles-kennels]

Mal.

With 22 nominations i would EXPECT 3 distance heats. 1 full field and 2 seven dog fields.

I am not 100% sure but i think all dogs nominated for the heats of the Nationals are guarenteed a start. (I THINK)

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 - wins $1.50

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 - wins $1.40 from 4-2-7,

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 - wins at $5.90

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

Good luck mighty_tiger! Will be following the exotics with interest.

[mighty_tiger_79]

im eagerly awaiting saturday night from cannington, hope to get some pocket money tomorrow night for then

[mighty_tiger_79]

out of curiosity for all those greyhound fans out there

Which state do you think do the best in terms of marketing and promoting the sport. Giving the punters tools that they need to have a win on the punt etc??

[Oaksnaf]

I'd be bias. But of all the TAB's I've visited in Aus. Victoria greyhounds stand out the most in terms of attraction to the EYE. Haven't been to Queensland or SA or NSW since last year. So they may have changed a little since.

[mighty_tiger_79]

im impressed with the watchdog set up and the various form guides you can access - from very basic fields to last 10 runs for each runner.

i do like the WA form guides, really breaks it all down.
On the WA dogs website there is a quaddie preview done by ryan levitzke who is the race caller which gives you the early pace and then a graph with winning %.

I think these 2 states are clearly out in front. SA is getting there only with its link through watchdog and you can access a surepick guide as well.

i know WA have had replays for a while and now they have them in vic

Race 1 Maiden Heat 430m

#1 MANIA ENFORCED Was our on top selection last outing over this trip. Began with the leading group from a difficult box 6, checked off the heels slightly before the turn. Then as went to push across to the rail, copped a huge check and was spat out to the rear. Despite that still ran on ok in the finish for 7th. This draw will suit MANIA ENFORCED hands down. Likely to lead and from there should be too classy for these.
Overall: I like this one a lot.

#2 FELUCCA Well last run wasn't overly impressive as got an almost perfect run in the race and still didn't post the best of times. That may be of course due to the fact the winner didn't post that strong of a time. And sometimes dogs can finish 12l second in a FAST time and get a STRONG time themselves. So be weary of that. I think he will struggle a little here as wont cross the red.
Overall: Don't be afraid to use for exotics.

#3 SHIRAZ MASTER Time was slow. 25 seconds at Bendigo. But look at the run. Squeezed early on the rail before the bend. Came again on the inside, pushed up on the inside of others and belted them out of the way. Once he got clear running he really did close in on the winner. Has won a qualy in 24.32 (average maiden winning time is 24.50). So as you can see, the clear run factor is a HUGE factor.
Overall: Danger Will Robinson Danger!

#4 YANKEE FLYER Might have pulled up sore after last run. Was given a little break from the track and now returns to a hard maiden. Ran a 26.70 Ballarat qually. 20 or so lengths behind BOD. Needs to improve a lot here. And just won't.
Overall: Not for me.

#5 SUPREME DARKNESS Squeezed horribly on debut at Shep. Wanted the rails, then when started to improve checked off the heels again. Then again exiting the bend. That says to me! Not smart enough. But with the perfect race, looks ok. Unfortunately won't get a clear run today.
Overall: Needs a clear run.

#6 NO ALIMONY Might have trouble crossing the field here. Runs at Shep over 390m have been solid performances. Just not quite sure whether she is ready to win. Race-caller Ron Hawkswell has put on top. Watchdogs selections is 4th. NGF have her as 3rd selection. So definately included in the exotics by those in the KNOW.
Overall: Given a chance by the pro's. Exotics only.

#7 LIZZIE JAY Not willing to totally forgive her run last start when she was squeezed in a tightening pack at Shep. Mainly because she has experienced trouble in all of her others starts. Her qualy win over this trip is 24.68, which isn't enough to beat these inside draws. Also unlikely to cross 5,6. I can see another troubled race for Lizzie Jay.
Overall: Finds too much trouble.

#8 ARCTIC BEAST Has been tried over all sorts of distances with no luck after 18 starts. Has 6 placings, but needs a lot of carnage and needs to be handy in the running. Unlikely to even feature here after Geelong 600m 35.87 run. Which is just too slow.
Overall: Too Slow

This seems like a clear cut exotic race to me for quinella's and exacta's. Tri's, have to explore and put faith in others.

Selections: #1-3-2-6

MAL- Ella Fair tonight..... thoughts from the pole??? over the line?

[Q.]

Anyone else having trouble getting formguides from the GRV website?

[mighty_tiger_79]

http://www.thewatchdog.com.au/

try that

[Q.]

Have been having trouble with my work PC downloading the formguides from The Watchdog for some time. I think it may have something to do with Acrobat. Have got the GRV webpage bookmarked, but they haven't got any races listed

[mighty_tiger_79]

i had the same problem, no meetings in the drop down boxes

i think they changed the site but this works for me now

http://www.thewatchdog.com.au/

[Q.]

It's my bloody work PC being a **** Just have to wait until I get home I guess.
