It'll be well attended Geoff everybody is looking forward to it :thumbsup:
 
just wondering the scratch public draw will the railers be only in the draw as it is really for the dogs that want the red. not to clever or safe if a o/s runner gets the red . not trying to be funny but could doggy ????????
 
If unseeded gets drawn first it gets red, if inside runner drawn second then first drawn shifts to blue and seeded gets red, if another inside seeded drawn third then inside runner drawn before it keeps red box, that dog gets blue and unseeded moves to white ;)
 
Getting excited now! Going to clean up my camera kit this afternoon so I'm ready for the action!

Oh and I'd better win best turned out cos I've dyed me hair especially! :D Trust me you won't miss me! (w00t)

Stupid question time!!!!!!!

Does Highgate show the football on the big screen while the racing is on.

Newcastle V Sunderland tomorrow just wondering if they show it???????

This is discimination against other dogs that dont seed ! If you draw for traps it should be the owners decision whether they change --or how can you call it a fair draw ? This is anything but fair ---drawing red trap--- and just because you dont seed you could end up on wide outside---- if you have four that are seeded in same race as yourself -----

this surely cant be called fair in anyones book ---------what is fair about that having to run futher ? Nothing i believe!

News to me when I've been at scratch draws whichever dog was drawn out first kept the red trap no matter what dog was drawn out next. What a load of rubbish :angry:
