correct me if im wrong but has dint replaced fought ie deliberate interferance. ...check= no apparent reason for the dog doing this although it could have a injury..forced to check = got a bang off another dog..

I think the dogs at Hove fight, John. Up here they are much more civilised and just deliberately interfere. |

Can someone explain to me what a check actually is and what a forced check is? Ta. Hendax - a greyhound is said to check when it breaks its stride, often when entering a bend. It is 'forced to check' when it breaks its stride because another greyhound or greyhounds block its path. You worry when a greyhound 'checks' for no reason as it often suggests it is nursing an injury and can't handle the bends. If it checks at the sough (where the hare stops after the race) during a race it's less of a problem as it often happens when racing over eight bends for the first time and the greyhound is a bit too clever and anticipates the hare stopping on the first lap. No problem with a greyhound checking when confronted with a wall of greyhounds as not much else it can do. CHESTER |

John - the GBGB Rules of Racing (Rule 53) refer to Deliberate Interference and that is the test applied for possible disqualification. The Irish Greyhound Board Rules ( Rule 14) refers to 'Fighting'. My own view is that the Irish test is less stringent than the British rule because in British racing a greyhound may not fight, in the everyday sense, but may deliberately 'barge' into another greyhound (with mouth closed!!) and so affect the outcome of the race. Probably splitting hares but 'fighting' to me, and probably to stewards in Ireland, suggests a head to head attack. CHESTER |

What is the meaning of 'eased'? Eased off or eased out?
