At the 2 bend meetings at Westhoughton in the scratch racing, the dogs in the red jacket were in the outside trap. Shouldn't it have been on the inside?

Does it really matter so long as the Wide runners get the outside boxes and the Railers get the inside. :blink:

However I thought all the traps looked kind of a mucky off white colour anyway :- "

It’s a matter of convenience Geoff, being as it is an outside hare and all of the handicap races will have the red box on the outside and the other boxes placed as per handicap, there seems little point in swapping and lugging all the traps around for the scratch racing and if you ask for an outside box then you should have been in red or as near as poss, same pro rata for a rails draw in orange.

At N.G.R.C. and all tracks with outsde hares, the 1 box is next to the inside rail and the 6 box is one the outside, therfore the scratch dog in handicaps wears the 6 jacket and the front dog the 1 jacket because it is next to the inside rail. hope this makes things as clear as mud. Les.

i think they should be run the same way as greyhounds are run,front dog should be in red box on the inside rail,as i think if front dog is in 6 trap on outside lure then he gets even more of an advantage.

John its just that us scratch racers are use to the red being on the inside ie Askern, Highgate, Warwick,Easington,Kinsley,Stainforth.There's no need to move the formation of the traps.
