I was shocked to hear that the draw is being made some days before the event. Is this so?
(w00t) why is this tat u r shocked daz
I thought the draw would be made on the day when everyone is present. It would rule out anyone being suspicious of any fixing in the draws. But hey! it's your club and your race meeting so i guess it gives you the right to do things as you please though if i was travelling a few hundred miles i would want to see the draw being made. Just out of curiosity when the dogs are being slipped does the lure come from behind the dogs or is it in front of the dogs and what is the format ie are the dogs coupled together or slipped individually by their owners. Some people may be of the attitude of who cares or does it matter but for a dog schooled properly it can give it that little edge. It would be nice to capture the meeting on dvd as i'm sure a lot of people would be interested.

I hope the weather is kind to you you all have a great day and all dogs come of sound.

Hope the all the Northern dogs and owners are that bit richer when they return back north ;)
daz tat is an awful think to say to anybody it might go on in your club if your in one but not down ere your not travelling so u wont ave to worry....the draw will be made on the wen nyt befor the racing in lua ryans pup anyone who wants to attend they can reason draw is made wen nyt as we ave to get cards printed out we do thinks the right way....the lure will be coming from behind the shy there is a slipper for the day owners just leave there dog to slipper...there does be a dvd of every race day tat we ave hope this helps allllll your questions :thumbsup:
Shane i don't think anything i mentioned was awful. I asked a few questions and made a point openly not hiding under an alias name. Would there be any chance of getting a dvd done of the racing.

I cant see me going as i work every Sunday but thanks for the offer of travelling with you, appreciate it. Yes i was making a point. The bigger racing clubs and organisations that i know of, some who can have more than a couple hundred dogs running at a race meeting do their draw on the day with everyone present. They don't seem to have a problem with the race card for the day. For me this seems the most fairest and honest way of doing it and would rule out any suspicious comments etc.

I love watching dogs racing and have many copies of many lurcher races and of the Non-ped events that take place over in England.

I don't play for Manchester United nor go to Old Trafford but love watching them play.

I would love a copy of the racing and it's not to find fault, i honestly enjoy watching the dogs race.

Hope you all have a fantastic day and hopefully i may get to one of the meets in the future.

hi shane

i can see what darren means regarding doing the draw on the day as it takes any doubts out of peoples minds overhere at the last champs there were 115 dogs entered and the draw was done on the day.

QUESTION for you shane do you have seeding in your racing or is it the luck of the draw,

any way shane all the best with your racing mate and hope every thing goes well with the racing look forward to reading he results.

We have been going to the roscrea race meetings for a few years now, & i can honestly say the roscrea club are very dedicated, honest & genuine dog people, for anyone who is serious about racing their dogs it is definately a race day u would enjoy, these club members put alot off time & efford into preparing these race days, & they even have consolation racing for dogs that have been knocked out in first rounds which is good for giving dogs a second chance in another a race.. i always look forward to going to their race days so keep up the good work roscrea club..

Rose.. :))
 
didnt mean to post that twice..
