Swarbrick supports decriminalising all drug use. But not in the greyhound industry . She also authoritatively states that the Turnbull case is the 'tip of the iceberg'. What does she base that statement on? Just a populist lightweight.
Lol I handled dogs for 8 years or so and the only time I got called in to the stipes room was for leaving the collar on a dog in a race. Got off with a warning. I'd say the same thing happened here.
Condolences to you and the family. I only knew your folks to say g'day to at the races , but Mike was a straight shooter. My friends the Laaglands spoke highly of him.
Some of us have lost a second dear friend in the space of a few days.
But that pales in comparison to what the family will be dealing with. Thoughts are with them x.
Henny fought her illness so bravely for so long. How little she had left in the tank, physically, is now apparent.
Going to miss you guys.

Your post is churlish.
I think that is a valid point, Lloyd.
There's a form trainers can sign, called a Charge Authority. Not sure how far its powers extend, but I had one once when I was taking dogs to the races on behalf of a trainer for a few weeks ( I am a licensed Owner/ Handler).
