Agree, my trainer has bred pups for the last 20yrs and won 4 or 5 group 1 races with them , now he does not want to breed he just wants to race 8 to 10 dogs , so as he is retirement age he can't afford a extra 2k a dog , so as he said last night were does he get dogs ? So he has made the call if it happens he will call it quits which means another trainer in the north gone so were the hell is the north going to find dogs ? Looking up trainers in the north most import craiks have started , mulhane , t a green ,ferguson's, Henley, patton , walsh , clark , as far as i see it could kill northen racing as they are struggling to get fields as it is.
