Really pleased to hear that. The safety of the animals is paramount so a very robust planned and corrective maintenance regime on any assets is a model that that whole industry should embrace.

Seriously tho not sure if same happens at 365 maybe @bobmunro could tell us.
But at william hill any bet on crayford over £20 had to be logged on the system
Any bet £50 we had to ring a number to make sure we could take the bet.
Any bet over had to be reported instantly with customers name
I remember one night down there where a dog came out of the the traps (2, I believe) and, as it approached turn one, it cut across the track and ran to someone familiar in the crowd who was waving something at the dog to distract it.

We haven't got any shops, Paulie.
Online, everybody can get on £3.65
Haha I know you have no shops, just wondered if yoi had anything in place that certain amounts placed on Crayford get instantly reported
Every bet is reported - it’s account based so we know who is having the bets. Greyhounds are a tiny part of our business but most punters will be able to get a decent bet.
To be fair I am sure a fit greyhound can sprint 400m in this heat - they may have to cancel the 10,000 though.
They don't live at the track, I believe the transportation of dogs to and from the track as well as the race was being considered. My dogs have just had their first exercise since Sunday other than my garden, we gave them an hour off lead and they are now blowing out of their arses. Trust me they don't run anywhere a greyhounds speeds and just walked alongside me the potential of a dogs heart just exploding is very real when running at full tilt.
Well done? Seriously?...After, six, seven WEEKS of heat? Might the reality be that the win-at-all-costs money brigade succumbed to the attention of the animal welfarists, who have been on at them for ages to see sense and stop the racing? Officialdom seeks the plaudits, as ever, but they were embarrassed by those who would see this 'sport' consigned to history.

Who will speak up for #greyhounds racing & dying in this heatwave? Not the self-regulated #GBGB nor their Greyhound Forum of complicit charities. Not @DefraGovUK, MPs or any political party animal welfare groups. Not even the @theRCVS or @BritishVets! #YouBetTheyFry
How many have died due to racing in the heat wave, out of interest?

I bet you're the sort of person that doesn't let their kids have a bike, just in case they might fall off.
Jesus wept. It’s almost like these events don’t have vets or animals welfare specialists at them.
Oh wait, Jeremy Cooper, ex CEO of The RSPCA and an active animal welfarist is now director of the Greyhpund Racing Board in the UK. So if you don’t trust his judgement then who can you trust.
Also, has anyone considered the welfare of our footballers in this heat? I hope the Norwich friendly is cancelled. They can’t possobly cope in this weather.
