jimbob 92 Report post Posted February 17, 2017 What the hell is going on with the greyhound code Looks like Punters are being mislead when you see a dog trained by someone in the racebook and at the TAB Then you check the results and it had a new trainer This is misleading the public. you greyhound code deserve to be running around for chicken feed if the integrity of the racing is average Why is a greyhound racing when publications dont have the changes Imagine the uproar if M purdon took over the training of a horse , and it went out and won, and the publications are wrong gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmyb 277 Report post Posted February 17, 2017 Gees Jim Bob, running around for chicken feed huh. If it wasn't for us greyhound code your horse codes (both of them) would be running around for litres of diesel to get home from the races.

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted February 17, 2017 Jimbob is right it matters not what the rest of the codes are running for. In todays electronic age the situation is just not good enough. I did not see or hear the race but did the commentator bring the facts to the attention of those listening or was he also in the dark? It is probably covered under a rule somewhere about misleading the public, maybe the RIU should be doing something worthwhile for a change. kirsty 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly comment to make. So you agree scratch the dog John due to a f*** up with either the TAB or NZGRA. Put your trainer hat on and tell me you would be happy for your dog to be scratched if TAB didn't show you as trainer due to a stuff up outside the trainers control. I'm sure I would hear you from here in Dunedin and it wouldn't be nice words. Yes punters need to get right info though.

aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted February 18, 2017 With my trainers hat on, i wouldn't like it, but i would except it, because i always argue for the greater good, unlike most on here, who only think of themselves. I actually realise that stake money comes from punters, and without punters there would be nothing to race for other than ribbons. In my book, the punter comes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We the owners and trainers come 2nd to the punter. Bless the punter, for it is he and she that put food on the table, end of story. jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless the punter, for it is he and she that put food on the table, end of story. The labels punter, owner and trainer are not mutually exclusive. Most owners and trainers are also punters, and often substantial contributors in that domain whereas those who" punt only' are taking a lend of those that provide the forum for them to gamble. So your "grading of contribution" argument is flawed. All are equally important, along with the jockeys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted February 19, 2017 So if this is the case, next time a jockey is hurt at the track and cant ride for the rest of the day, all his/her's horses they are riding should be scratched as the punter doesnt have the right info. Same goes for the trotts where horses starting position can change if they play up (how is this fair to the punter at all). It happens in all codes so dont know why anyone would point this particular incident out in greyhounds when the punter comes of second best in all 3 codes jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunyarra 185 Report post Posted February 19, 2017 Just for your info Jimbob, all the relevant paperwork was sent to NzGRA by me and the previous trainer surely it's not our fault if change of trainer hasn't been updated. I agree it's slack that the details weren't changed in the Tab and the racebook but Peter Early did announce it numerous times throughout the meeting.

Punters walking into the TAB cant rely on the commentator to mention a change of trainer. If the assn let a dog start with the wrong information published (in print) then they are bringing racing into disrepute . I question the integrity of this organisation in regards to this. And a full investigation should be carried out by the RIU. and looking into the betting into this race Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
