finishing line put across track ---how you can give a dead heat with no finishing line astounds me -

Things that need to be in place before next meeting-----(in my opinion)-- yard measure laid out at traps----finishing line put across track ---how you can give a dead heat with no finishing  line astounds me ---better communication with reference to what is going on ---racers to get out of way of dogs racing  lucky yesterday dog was not seriously hurt plenty of room inside track---to stand--lessons should be drawn from these oversights---steve


There was a yard a pound tape made for high gate and left there for this years meeting but it had vanished.

there was a winning post and 2 judges on all day.

everything was read out on the microphone and repeated more than once, not my problem i didn't have my karaoke voice on.

agree that races should be made to stand n the track this was announced over the mic a lot of times.
 
Nothing simple ----if your both looking at a different place/ from a different angle which you are bound to have been stood side by side but then this is the sort of reply i expected ---impossible infact even with a camera if there is no line --i put it to you Mr Gill that it would be a different story had it been your dog under same circumstances. But i stated at the start this was my observation and opinion i never asked you to agree its things like this that cause the upset in racing when there is no need for it.

great day out cngrats to all the winners :cheers: especially bruce and di - well done lacey

john & fiona
 
its nice of people to offer to help such as john and jeff did thanks lads, point taken steve.
 
the white line is offered as a visual aid for the watching public to see that the race

is over,and in the event of a photo finnish the final images along with the aid of computerised imaging equipment will produce.a final winners image that will then be studied by the judges in making their decision on the overall winner of the race.

the image is produced this way to provide an accurate view of the winning line and because the white line on the track is only offered as an aid it's position is not taken into account,this is because re-positioning the line time after time cannot be guaranteed that it is placed in the same spot,whilst the computer image can.

know if this helps but this is the ruling that is used at highgate greyhound stadium rule 13
 
Thank you Graham-Was the computerised imaging equipment in use for yesterdays event?

May i just point out that none of our own dogs had a dead heat yesterday-not having a personal moan before some jump to that conclusion.

It was a genuine concern echoed by other fellow racers too.

A constructive comment not a criticism- which Steve thought would be welcomed.

I personally laid the blue strip across the track after asking Di Belwoods permission.

jeff and myself went there with nothing to run and to enjoy the racing , we were asked to judge and do the timing of which we were glad to help out,if this is going to be the kind of abuse we recieve for doing a thankless job then i would appreciate it very much if i am ( can't speak for jeff ) not asked again as i can quite easy stand back and critisise others. this is the sort of comment i have to expect off mr boyd :oops:

why did nobody ask for the tape to put across the track at the start of the racing instead of waiting untill there was a debatable race taken place.

But at least we know the times will have been decent with you two on the clock :thumbsup:

Incidentally we have no times on our programme so if anyone would like to PM them to me I'd be very grateful ! :* :huggles:
 
john it,s a waste of time arguing you cant do right for doing wrong we can only give the result that we see but that,s not good enough for some people
 
My comments were neither abusive or infactul - they were made in the hope that next meeting held improvements can be made and if you choose to take them as a critism of your ability so be it -it was not intended as such

Just looking at the times and the dogs seem to be getting faster than bitches ----especialy the lower weight classes wonder what this is down to ???

Breeding? or are the bitches not performing as well as they used to??

makes you wonder dont it ???

steve
 
WELL DONE BRUV,ALSO WELLDONE FLETCH, :cheers:
 
yea steve just wonder why?

wud have liked to see the time see spot run would have done it was bout 6 clear when it stopped must have been a good time.
 
just a thought if the dogs put up the fastest times why did a bitch win the overall

and the consolation as well perhaps times are immaterial and they only run as

fast as necessary to win their race
