The new Angle Park

Apart from the woeful 388m start, I thought Angle Park was one of the better tracks I'd seen. Interesting new development and well done GRSA for spending money on infrastructure instead of more staff. It's a big jump from 342m to 530m but they do have Murray Bridge now to cater for the 350-450m dogs. Looks good.

Not that I am a great fan of bend starts but I really like those wide chutes making it a straighter run into the corners

Thank you Ray, although in the bible the prodigal son chose to walk away. I was kicked out by a crooked decision, as you know.
Congratulations also on the new GRSA Integrity Hearings board over there. Some real common sense decisions over the last year or so.

Sandro,
Please look closely. They are still bend starts for 342m and 595m. There is ample room to have pushed them much further off the circle so as to offer an even straighter run in - but they deliberately chose not to do that. Why?
NB: It is no excuse that umpteen other tracks have chosen to do the same thing. It's bad design. This is a great pity because all the other features are sound and progressive.

Not sure Jamie whether you refer to your swab result of the subsequent comments on line. I thought you may have seen the light, perhaps not.

You're not my judge Ray. All the best with the new track.
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
