Track Record

Nice tip Gruff

Did you make the effort to look at the GRNZ homepage? https://www.grnz.co.nz/getting-involved.aspx

I agree entirely but also worth mentioning the board at each club is ultimately responsible for their assets.

Tina Comignaghi was the Awapuni Jockey Challenge favourite at $2.35, she had a full book of rides and is now $101.00 having not gained a point in 5 races - talking through my wallet

General: 1). Following race 4 the lure arm was broken with a replacement lure required. 2). There was a lure malfunction during stir ups for race 6. Track staff identified the break and advised stewards the issue could not be rectified and, due to the lure arms not being transferable between lure carriages, no other replacement lure was available to continue racing with the remainder of the meeting subsequently abandoned. Track staff later identified an area of concern on the rail where the lure lost power. The club will undertake any repairs required prior to racing next. 3). Following the running of race 5 a mechanical failure was identified with the 318 metre boxes. The failure was unable to be rectified with all remaining 318 metre races to be hand started for the remainder of the meeting.

You care to shed some more light on your observations? Have you addressed any of your concerns or in this case opinions to the GRNZ?

Are you involved in the Industry Palliser, possibly a LP? And are you sure they didn't have a backup or was that used earlier in the day hmmm?

I tend to agree with you, the majority of middle distance dogs that compete at Manukau these days are sent up from south island trainers.

You may of heard and/or saw some rain in New Zealand over the past 6 weeks particularly in the north island?

The new starting boxes will have something to do with faster times.

Factual points Palliser but it's previously been in all three codes, to single out the greyhounds is unjust.

Kurious didn’t you say that you’re a greyhound trainer based in Australia with large numbers? Are you here on holiday?

Call GRNZ and introduce yourself to Matt or Roger.

When your not a “top dog” then what else can it be? The dogs abilities are mostly on point. Those medium to large size breeders in the north are doing extremely well with their litters. Other trainers who take dogs on are doing the best they can with what gets sent up from the South Island.

Your referring to the rooster that lives at the Cambridge raceway and is often meters away from trainer vehicles. It’s been reported on several occasions and nothing has been done about the human removal/relocation of the rooster.
