Hi all, any questions about an article please post here. The only problem is some article writers are not online everyday, so you may have to wait for a reply, unless you use the PM system.
Archie a flapping track is one that is not registered by the NGRC. Mostly they are in the North of England, Scotland and Ireland. Most dogs tend to be trained by the owner, often from home. Dogs dont need a passbook as they do under NGRC rules. The NGRC ( National Greyhound Racing Club ) wont allow dogs registered with them to run at flapping tracks.
That said, some of the better flapping tacks have an on course vet and some good racing from what i can gather.
hello alansouthcoast
i admit i dont know much about greyhound racing but can i ask has there ever been 8 dogs racing at british tracks.cheers.archie
Evening Archie
Down here in Kent,Sittingbourne Greyhound Stadium use traps designed for eight dog races however as far as i know they only have six dog races these days...
Now if you want to see some 8 dog races pop down to your local Coral Bookies any week day morning and you can enjoy greyhound racing from Australia!

Isn't BRETT our resident "flapper"? _________________ ROLL OF HONOUR
Yes he is. I had a bit of an argument (entirely friendly) with him a while ago about veterinary cover for dogs at flapping tracks. He runs his dog/dogs at these tracks, I understand. _________________ UNEXPECTED WINNER 2009 FLAT 10 TO FOLLOW COMPETITION!

hello Rochersterlad
maney thanks for your reply but i think i would rather stay cuddled up in bed thanks
i dont follow either dog or horse racing but ive always thought that punters would have a better chance of winning following dogs in that theres only 6 to choose from.cheers.archie
hello alansouthcoast and hello westmeadhawk
probably a daft question to ask but why do the dog handlers/owners/managment or who ever parade the dogs just before the race with there coats on????
just thinking wouldnt it be much better for race goers to see the dogs without there coats on maybe to get a better idea of how the dog is under there coats is the dog fully wound up etc.cheers.archie
