Coursing 2012/2013 - The Road to Powerstown

Cmon ta fook… #clonmel

:eek::clap::clap:

Its gonna be epic!!! :pint:

Final day postponed and will be run next Sunday at 11.30 - has this happened before? It’ll make it nice and awkward on the bookies who stand in Clonmel and Leopardstown.

Jaysus :eek:

What reason are they giving for this?

Changes the whole dynamic, especially the betting. Dogs who might have gone longer odds yesterday evening on the basis of getting a grueling will now be fresh going into the quarter.

Weather / unsuitable conditions. Presume the ground hasn’t thawed out sufficiently and to protect both hares and dogs

Yep, exactly. Be interesting to see how it will change results. You’d be fair pissed off if you traveled over from UK for it.

If the conditions were suitable yesterday then this is a load of bullshit. It’s definitely a warmer day today in South Tipp.

This is the extent of my knowledge on the topic

Unfortunately looks like we’re in trouble with the weather. Postponement likely. Official announcement shortly. #clonmel2015

They hardly wanted to call it off, they must have been left with no option. Other years the start has often been delayed to allow more of a thaw in the ground.

You’d like to think they postponed it to piss off the animal rights protesters who assembled outside.

They are hardly bothered. It’s not like they have work to go to.

There’ll be less public transport options on a Sunday though

Some serious acting the bollix took place today apparently. :eek:

What happened, allegedly?

I’ve been speaking to a man who attended and he had nothing scandalous to report.

Rumors that someone pulled a healthy dog out of a Final.

I dunno about that… One thing I heard was that the dog was very distressed after the semi final and it was decided not to run him again… However, the man with the curls would only be human if he didn’t necessarily want to get to the ‘10-final mark without a win’… Having that tag wouldn’t help anybodies self belief… And bear in mind that the dog he had always indicated that was the best in his kennel had just been beaten by FMP. We have had dogs in the last few years run in the final even though they were not right and owners were berated for running them…
