What's it like at Monmore?

"Monmore is a good, galloping track with modern kennelling. All owner fears serious injuries to their greyhound most of all and I think trap draws and grading can play a role in those as well as the track preparation, of course. I would like to see a racing office co-ordinator available at every track. They could listen to owners and their opinions and pass the constructive criticism on to the racing manager who doesn't have the time to listen to everyone individually. Owners must be heard - though the racing office does have a difficult job grading for a close result yet a trouble free race."
