thankyou 4 pointing this out linda as i did ask in a previous post about the straights but only u have answered and its put my mind @ rest as like i said in the previous post @ this rate wot with people mentioning banning dogs for 3 months etc people who have severe left/right, benders.railers will b scared 2 seed their dogs incase they happen to have one more severe than them! so cheerz :cheers:weathergirls said:the NNWRF are keeping a close eye on seedings and have been for a while now however it is no easy task seeding of a dog in the handicap will more often than no discard itself however in scratch racing as I believe owners seed their dogs as to how they come out of the traps it should be fairly easy to pick who is and who isn't seeded correctly looking at the pics of the race in this debate at present it is showing dogs coming off the top bend and depending on the the build and agility of some dogs they will naturally be thrown wide at this point in a race. these are just a couple of points that need to be taken into consideration when we talk about where a dog has been seeded and where it finishes a race on the bends
As for straight racing it should be easier as there is a view of the dogs from trap to line
The NNWRF committee is willing to take this on board if the members are in agreement BUT we won't be riding roughshot over anyone and disqualifying dogs simply because they have bumped into a dog on its left when it had been seeded right unless it was considered deliberate of course
If the person we have in mind is willing to take on this role I believe it will make for some better, cleaner and safer racing
