I own a Dog that was in Race 2,Box 3 at Albion Park tonight.(Rapid Worthy) The Trainer has taken his time to get this bitch going,she was a bit timid to start off,but first race last week,came out running,and got beat by the better dog,on that night,she finished second. Now fast forward to her next race tonight at Albion,she came out running,then the 4 Dog,got up under her,railing for home,and in my opinion,and Everybody else I spoke to who watched the replay,Clearly turned its Head,turned its head,had a chop at my Bitch,who then hit the track hard,falling! According to Stewards,it was because the 4 dogs legs got tangled up with my Bitch.. Apparently,according to them,it did not turn its head,and have a chop at my Bitch. To that,I say,"What a Load of Crap".Stewards are either Totally incompetent,or need their eyesight checked. Its taken a while,and alot of patience,to get this girl going,only now to come off the track injured,sore shoulder,and her confidence may be seriously dented..Stewards need to do their job,alot better then they currently do,sitting in their Bullsh*t Kangaroo Court,making Bullsh*t Decisions. I'd be very happy and appreciate if someone could send a link of the race,and post it on here,for people to watch(Can't do it from my phone).Id like to hear people's opinions,after watching the replay. I've watched it quite a few times,normal speed,slow mode,frame for frame..Doesn't matter how I watch it.Everytime I watch it,I see the same thing! The 4 Dog,turns its head,has a clear chop at my Bitch,then she falls..Your Opinions will be very much appreciated.

I see a young first starter with plenty of pace struggling to both corner and rail up inside your dog, colliding and causing the unfortunate fall. The head contact was purely coincidental. Very bad luck because your Bitch was going very well at the time. Good luck getting her back. Really interesting breeding by the way.
Thanks for your opinion Paul..Have you been able to watch it in slow motion? Defenitly Bad luck involved,but I still clearly see the dog turn its head,and have a chop..In slow motion,it's clear to see. Yeah interesting breeding,not bad for a long time gone,32 yr old Stud dog! Apparently according to an old post on here,you shouldn't breed out of Old Stud Dogs,cause they will only throw slow Dogs, bahahaha!I got one in the litter,who's run fast times,winning his races! And my old Mate,Worthy Reward as the Sire,has beat all the current crop of Super Stud Dogs,with his Son,Roan's Reward,your Favourite Sire Included..The All Mighty Fernando Bale,who yes I will agree,he's the best Dog I saw on the track,and the Greatest Sire of all time,

Watched it frame by frame and slow motion on the TV. I can't see anything illegal or aggressive. The other bitch was a green first starter. I understand you are disappointed and we all love our dogs, but sorry mate no case to answer. In the future if the winner comes out and does turn its head I'll apologise unreservedly, but I don't reckon it will.
If you watched it frame by frame,slow motion,and can't see the Dog veer its head towards my dog,not keep its head facing forward towards the lure,then we must be watching different races,lol..I even had a friend who watched the race at home,and texted me about the same thing I saw,and 6 people at the track,saw what I saw,watching the replay! Yes,4 of these people I know,the others,I don't..I'm not going to change your opinion,just like no one's going to change mine.

Like I said yes I agree the dog made contact, but it was because she was struggling to corner inside your girl. Pure coincidence.
I'll leave it for others to comment. Hopefully they share your opinion big fella.

It's a difficult one to really know for sure without seeing head on vision. From what you can see no not deserving of a ticket, it just looks worse because your girl unfortunately fell
If I owned or trained the 4 I'd be pretty disappointed if that was picked on, but if I owned the 3 I'd probably be thinking the exact same thing as yourself Shane

may i suggest you change the wording re the stewards as that may get u or your trainer gets a hard time in the future. not worth it.
Not changing any wording at All..That's the problem with this Greyhound Game,what so if a Steward makes a Bad Decision,are we just supposed to go along with it,so we don't upset the Poor Stewards.This has nothing to do with my Trainer,if someone like a Steward wants to have a winge about the Title to my post,then so be it,I really don't care!

Stewards got it right. Winner fast dog struggling to cope with high speed on point of turn.

it was subtle but i reckon the 4 dog went for your dog yes. it wasn't a big turn and bite but looks like it was aiming for it on purpose, not by accident.
Thanks Simon,you nailed it.. Exactly what myself,and about 20 other people have said..Funny how some can spot it,others are oblivious to what happened.The Dog had a chop at my Dog,simple as that
Anyway here's another update on Incompetence,to the point,it's Laughable.Before you read my next few lines, realise this first,I love SARCASM... Anyways,I now found out why my Dog fell,the Vet figured it out apparently,lol. So the Vet checked her after the race,and found her sore,after pressing his thumb in Hard,he said to Trainer,"Oh she's a bit sore there,what's that muscle called again?"..He didn't know the name of the apparently sore muscle,and he's a Vet,that's laughable..What's even more laughable,the Vet stated Infront of the Stewards,and the Trainer,the reason why she fell coming around the bend was she was sore in that spot..What an Absolute Load of Camel Sh#t.So there you go,we all now know the real reason she fell,this Vets an absolute Genius! I've never heard more Crap in my life

the rail hides it a bit when viewing the video replay. i reckon it would have been easier to notice if watching from a different angle.
but because it didn't really turn its head its probably really just unlucky. same as if there was a dog outside of yours as it started to drift off the fence your dog would have probably taken it out and its connections would have been pissed if their dog fell as a consequence.
Yeah the 4 moved to the rail,then drifted out,and nailed my bitch,and that's exactly when she fell..Show you how I love Honesty..To be honest,if the 4 didn't do,what it did,it probably would of went straight passed my dog,and Won..My Bitch would of run second,if she stayed on her feet,but because the 4 Dog,moved inside,then drifted outwards,off the rail,straight into mine,and she fell..If the 4 Dog stayed on a straight line,around the bend,I wouldn't be on here complaining

That's racing Shane I'm sure it's happened to many others on here with dogs in the past Not all dogs run the bends like Carl Lewis mate That's racing take the good with the bad n the bad with the good I'm sure she will bounce back n has many wins in front of her It's what's n should have are just that
