Certain issues seem to be forgotten. What about the board member people need to think what has happened earlier on.Wasnt that about drugs? MEMORY LOSS on certain peoples part they need to think before they write

All this B...S... grow up . I started this TOPIC as testing was starting on the 1/1/2017 this was published in ON TRACK issue 400/AUGUST 2016 page 24 A rule change that hasn't happened why was it submitted the nzgra/riu need to address this rule change as it was a notice to all licenced persons.

I rung nzgra and was told there will be changes when this new person starts a DR Stewart may be she will do something heres hoping or maybe its back to still waiting ! The money saved on petrol vouchers which is a large amount where has that gone ? blood test aren't that expensive .Only have to catch 1 trainer look at the dogs which have improved there times by a good amount . Catch 1 and the fine would cover a lot more blood test and the drug use would stop. Look at the dogs that lost form when the drug testing was announced now they are back winning. All that needs to be done is check the form of these dogs

THIS MISTAKE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE AN ENQUIRY THAT PERSON IS PAID, IN OTHER EMPLOYMENT MISTAKES CAN CAUSE ALOT MORE .WHAT OTHER MISTAKES HAVE GONE UNNOTICED

DRUG TESTING WE WERE GIVEN A START DATE AT PRESENT WE HONEST TRAINERS ARE WAITING AND WAITING AND STILL WAITING.IS THIS A MISTAKE OR B... S... MAY BE IT COMES UNDER SPECIAL PROJECTS I WONDER WHOS RUNNING THIS LOL SO NZGRA STILL EMPLOY OLD STAFF, MAYBE THEY MAY EMPLOY SOME OF THE MORE TALENTED ONES AGAIN .IT WOULD FILL IN THE GAPS.

Oh Cripes!!!! Hope all goes well for Sergio.

As I have said b4 until us trainers can have a say and vote who and how greyhound racing is run nothing will improve. Last summer I rang ass ociation about kennelling after race one as I had a dog in the first and last race no room so I had to take that dog home couldn't leave it in car where it was bloody hot no shade at Wanganui what is this welfare of .racing up to still waiting for an answer. These clubs should be made to cater for dogs that have raced earlier and have kennel space to cater for all dogs on race day qualifiers included. Maybe SPCA will act far quicker, F__K the clowns at NZGRA The Wanganui club is getting $44,424 funding for concreting of driveway/parking I'm sure that will improve the lack of shaded areas and lack of kennelling . There are so many issues not being address maybe a vote of no confidence us trainers need a say not later but NOW

Fair point. The nzgra should be footing the cost for that and putting that guy's ideas into action. Never mind Pussyfooting" around waiting for finance. They take enough from us trainers.

Good example of a well maintained race track. Why aren't our tracks maintained as good as this?

As ive said b4 greyhounds are athletes. Top explanation bunyarra why race on a unsafe surface. There are safety protocols in place for owners etc. Why not the same thing for greyhounds?

Been breeding the odd litter because I enjoy greyhounds but the costs increase all the time not much left out of 10k at 22 months theres more to greyhound racing than a lot of people realise .If you breed sell early .If I sell any I charge the cost of the stud fee or straw at 8-10 weeks plus % of vet costs . Be careful if you go ahead there are dreamers out there get the cash up front don't do deals

Just checked our emails. Greg sent a copy through. It's rule 5.4.

Smoke alarms fire extinguishers rule been in place since 2014 just got a call from NZGRA

Our kennels are under cover no power as we use touch lighting may be that is the reasoning . Waiting for a reply from NZGRA

No there's not. When we had our last inspection done a few years ago, this thing with smoke alarms etc. was NEVER brought up.
