VLOG THREE

This week we look at the Entain/ARC deal which means the bookies have near total domination of our once socially enjoyable sport, a working mans weekend enjoyment. What happened to taking your dog/s to the track, have a banter, a great night socialising with like minded people and the absolute enjoyment of running your pride and joy. It's been taken over by Corporate suits, don't understand our passion and what this means to us, the dogs will be an overused product ran week after week to uphold share prices and keep the machine going till it runs dry and there are NO DOGS to fill their impossible quota of races.
Please help me change it, get in touch, let's stand together!

It was you had to queue to get in, and a lot of the people had knowledge about the dogs, now most spectators the few there is pic numbers, Mick Nottingham should be asking you to race sorry for how it's going but I know how you feel good luck

Since the ARC/Entain deal was announced I've been thinking.
They're led by money men/women and they're happy with the product that the owners and trainers provide. But I honestly believe that none of them have the first idea or even worse, the slightest interest in the massive amount of work, money and emotional investment that goes into getting that product that they like and want.
I think that hell will freeze over before any of them decide to make any investment in the sport besides making sure that the trainers are wedged into a financial corner and they have no choice but to keep the dogs they have running. And of course leading up to that the sport was systematically pillaged by people that we all know and loathe.
It's breaking my heart and at the moment I just want to go flapping.
