Recommended Posts

where are all the dogs ?? 

8 races at waikato thursday

9 races palmy friday 

open the flood gates let the aussie dogs in or we will have no meetings in the north or 8/9 races of c0/1 300 plus races each week.

it is desperate times for owners/trainers in the north.

Many dogs can't run 375m+ thats the problem. You will see 12-15/races at Wanganui and 12 or 13 races at Auckland on sunday

We  all breed hoping to get 500 meter plus dogs  but it always  doesnt goes to plan and end up with 300-400 meter off spring and you are left with no alternative  to race them to recoup your outlay.

So if you breed sprinter to sprinter or with a bitch that just got 318 ( no matter how quick ) how can you hope to get a decent 500m plus dog ?

The reason we are in this position is BECAUSE of imports. NZ  ran 90% middle distance races and usually a distance race each meeting untill the flood of imports years ago that were unwanted in their home country.

I was one of many at the time warning of the likely outcome down the track and it is exactly what happened. I remeber being very vocal about reducing the distances at both Auckland and Waikato.

   For all of that , it has happened so we must get on with it. Gary is probably right we are a sprint racing industry, it took years to get there and will take a lot longer to get out. Maybe we should reduce the distances again so Waikato may avoid the death throes they find themselves in. Eventually we would get down to the length of the straight only races.

    The NZGRA were looking at controlling how we selected dogs for breeding. How about bitches that have won over 500m above class 1.

we have two meetings at Auckland this week as well which probably contributed to lack of noms at Cambridge as we do not have the numbers up here for three meetings a week. Maybe we should make all sprint races below c3-4 tier races and put a set limit on the amount of c1 sprints we can have at a meeting as well. You get $200 less for winning a c1 500 than winning a c5 sprint and that still hasn't changed anything so maybe making the lower grade sprints less attractive and less profitable for breeders is the way to go

Ray Adcock a few years ago trained a bitch called Ronray Disco a sprinter she was a above average sprinter wining times were nothing to get excited about. She was sentback to Aussie when finished racing and used for breeding her off spring from 2 litters have left some pretty smart city glass dogs in NSW and Victoria winning Group races and competing and beating the best. Yes there is always exception to the rule.

Just a thought on the breeding only with bitches that have won a C1 500 mtr would it have needed to run a certain time as would you breed from a bitch that may have 4-5, 500 MTR races but below average times 

Does 32 seconds at akl count? houston we are in the cactus! given a choice of the bad situatuons I would personally prefer to own a sprinter that runs 19 secs than a middle distance dog that runs 32...at least it can run slow twice a week!
