Duritz,
I work out the first sectionals from the video tapes. On my video recorder there are 25 slow motion "clicks" to the second so it easy to work out the sectionals. Time the leading dog to the post the first time and record that sectional then count the number of "clicks" between that greyhound and the rest of the contenders. I can also say with confidence that the times in form guides are not always accurate. Double check them by timing yourself.
moeee,
My POT is running at 12% since we last "talked" on this forum. Casino on Fridays has been a bonanza whilst Angle Park is slightly in front. The Gold Coast has been consistent with a POT of 14%. Dogs brains might be small but they are creatures of habit. A wide runner will remain a wide runner and a fence crusher will remain exactly that. Dogs do not have jockeys on them that cost them the race and they also go flat out from start to finish so "pace of the race" is not an issue as it is in thoroughbreds. Only ever eight runners maximum too.
