Track bookies feel the pinch

A quiet night at the greyhound track on Tuesday has led to the Oxford bookmakers requesting management to reconsider bringing open racing back in midweek.

There wasn't a lot of business and one bookie had hardly covered his costs at the half-way stage.

The racing office's priority is to give every Oxford owner the chance to have regular runs with their charges, but they will give a decision on the question of open racing next week.

as owners we like to see our dogs run on a regular basis open races restrict that maybe the management should look at the bar prices and reduce them to a realistic price £3 for a bottle of beer when it can be bought for 80p thats whats keeping the punters away
