RPGTV - What Does the (M) & (W) Mean?

[westbamtrading]

I see on The listing on RPGTV some of the greyhounds have (M) next to their name, and some have (W). What do these mean?

[GRW]

the draw middle & wide r= railer

[westbamtrading]

the draw middle & wide r= railer

Thanks for the answer, but then my next question is; What is 'The Draw' .. and why would trap 1 be the W=wide?

Got it here:

https://www.onlinesportsbettingsites.co.uk/greyhounds/

Racing Lines – In the formlines for previous races you will see comments on which line the dog took. You will see these as abbreviations, vw = very wide, w = wide, mid-w = middle to wide, mid = middle, mid-rls = middle to rails, rls-mid = rails to middle and rls = rails.

Thanks again for your reply.

Dont believe it is the draw, its an indication of the tendency of the dog i.e middle/wide runner ect. Wide runners will be drawn wider as to make the race as fair as possible

I always thought it was just a draw for the traps. If wide dogs are put in 5 & 6 and railers in 1 & 2, it's not a draw it's deliberate allocation?
I don't know for certain but that's always been my assumption. So what would happen if 6 wide runners qualified for the final of a cup?

They place wide runners in higher traps as to try and not cause as much crowding at the first bend. Putting a railer in trap 6 and wide runner in trap 1 obviosuly increaseas the chances of trouble at the first bend (although plenty of it still happens). Never seen 6 wide runners in one race but im sure the track would need to answer a few questions if wide runners kept winning

They were talking about this on RPGTV the other night

Question: I use HorseRaceBase ... for my horse trades obviously.(which are becoming fewer and far between nowadays). Is there something like that for Greyhounds?
