10 races only sat night.

only ten races sat night.whats created this sudden shortage.loads of dogs have been graded recently.so why are they not on the card.
   they dont want another dozen trainers to supply just a couple of dogs each.
a couple of weeks ago old trainers were about to reappear.no signs.but loads of new dogs have been trialed ,so why are they not on the card.??.anyone got any answers.

Am in agreement there as been a lot new trialing on there should enough to do 13 races never mind the normal 12 so I was a bit surprised myself, they cannot be short on dogs as we know a few weeks ago it was dire this is another backward step for a sat night.i would be interested to know the reason why

I myself don't see a major problem with a ten race meeting on a Saturday evening at the ZOO every now and then especially at this time of the year.

When you look back over the years things both on and off the track are always very quite in January and February.

But the one plus thing about having less races on a Saturday it does free's up extra kennels for the pre-race trial session.

I'm sure this is only a temporary measure by the Belle Vue Racing Manager this week but the main thing is under the present climate we are still racing 3 meetings a week and at the end of the day that's all that matters to be fair.

Here's hoping by the end of January the bigger picture regarding the future greyhound racing here in Manchester should become a whole lot clearer.

Let's ALSO BE CLEAR. PEOPLE WENT OUT TO BUY EXTRA DOGS TO PREVENT THIS OCCURRENCE. DEFINATELY WE SHOULDNT HAVE BOTHERED.
AND A LOT OF MONEY COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED.
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION TO LOSE SO MANY RACES. DOGS WIN BY CAR RIDES OFTEN , WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

yeah sat night the public come along for a night out they wanna see a full strength meeting as well the owners and trainers there no excuses, you look at Sheffield 16 races on Saturday night there should no cutbacks we want the zoo going strong

The way things are going a ten race card will soon turn into a nine race card, you would think that the trainers or owners of all these dogs that trialed on would be asking the racing office why these dogs are not getting on the card.

[benny]

exactly.is this the first indications of what's gonna become the norm. why am I concerned.because i/we went out and bought 21 more dogs to facilitate the racing.which has been cut anyways. a load of extra investment for no result.
with all the trials each and every week .why??? non-seam to have made a debut on the race card. if there is no outcry. then it will be expanded, and become the norm.
and those who seem unconcerned don't have any DEADLINES TO MEET. AND FOOD BOWLS TO FILL. IF BV GOES ON AS IT IS GOING MOST DEFINITELY WILL BE TIME TO CALL IT A DAY AT BV.
WE HAVE WORKED LONG AND HARD ENOUGH FOR POOR PAYMENT. AND IT SEEMS ITS NEVER ENDING.JAM TOMORROW IS NO GOOD. WE NEED SOME TODAY.

By the end of this month if ARC take full control of the stadium I'm pretty sure things will change for the better.

Nothing can change before then all the staff and trainers have had a letter to this effect.

So between now and the end of this month we all need to keep calm and hopefully things will go our way.. Other than that the s@it will hit the fan.

first of all shadrack forgets how many tracks have shut down over the last dacades,were talking now the last few weeks agood influx of dogs have come along that's already been pointed out,yeah so whats happening we still waiting for a answer ?
