Cupid Stunt 18 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 flaping tracks ar also knowen as schooling tracks thats all there for and all they should be used for to get a young hound used to traps and running etc not to run on all the time.....Terrier man Whilst flapping tracks can be used for schooling youngsters, flaps & schooling tracks are two different things. Unfortunately most flaps are terrible circuits & coupled with the fact that the bookies have to bet to very high overrounds in graded racing its not very appealing to me. Quote Link to post
