With Romford 575m track record holder Sparta Master clocking the fastest time of the day of 29.63 (-20) for the new 500m course, the early evidence suggests that the new Towcester standard remains quite a test.
While it is still to early, given fitness levels, to read too much into times, the fact remains that Hove and Sheffield have had numerous greyhounds break the 29.00 barrier for the similar trip earlier in the year.
Is Towcester much slower? Yes. But then wasn’t the ‘old Towcester’ very similar with a track record of 28.72?
Hiya Boyo’s 15.64 was easily the day’s best sprint.
