all the feedback from our local greyhound freinds about askern has been very good going with our neil tonight to grade a few greyhounds in hopefully o

£200 sound good value for a days racing

what i meant is the start the same as say easington,highgate,stainforth just off the 4th bend. not how it was on the third bend with short dash into 4 ,not good. if they have changed the start and the amount of work they have done.even to consulting traineers on the lay out,sounds good. my only concern is for the dogs safety first . :luck:

DavidH I think it has been repeated several times over that the start has been moved to the common position :- " .

 

[DavidH]

if thats the the case spot on :thumbsup:

THE TRACK IS SPOT ON.

:thumbsup: i have raced my whippets and greyhound on a lot of tracks in my opinion eassington was one the best but i have just got home from askern and what great changes have been made this has got to be one of the best tracks around. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

hope all the people on the high table are taking note,sounds like askerns worth a look at for future events.the amount of work put in they deserve to do well :luck: ( :sweating: if they already checked it out)
