No there isn't. Hasn't been for years. There was POC tax but that's gone now.

Central government gets nothing from any betting on greyhound racing.

On the news tonight the poll indicates the party led by the one who wont pay for his kids fruit are miles ahead. Betfair election market has National around $1.30 with Labour at $3 and more. Leadership changes must be coming soon. My moneys still on Erica to become Nationals version of Jacinda. They’ll win easily then.

You train it to win first up over distance to show that you are a master of your craft. Stayers can however sprint well fresh. Guy Walter would always start Tie The Knot in The Expressway. Won it one year. Super horse.

Bates won the race at the start.

Don't know if you can blame the jockey. If there's trouble to be found in a race Angel Capital will find it.

Very few trainers down under could train a horse to run in a 2400 metre race first up.

Simple. Put them on an RNZAF plane and sell them to Australians free of freight. Cheaper than mucking around trying to rehome them here. How much do I get paid for that solution? How much are they paying Heather? Do you know what other airlines won't transport greyhounds? I'll do my best to avoid flying with them as well.

$30 must include things like vets and registration. Can't eat $30 in food per day. I don't eat $30 worth of food per day and I'm not on dog roll and kibble. Vet bills can be crippling though.

But none of them will win 100 Group Ones.

Well if it's okay to bet on Australian greyhounds why can't New Zealand dogs be sold and exported to carry on racing in Australia? Surely the likes of the Coles and Faheys who have become multi-millionaires from greyhound racing aren't going to be getting 20 to 30 dollars a day from the government or the punters (that's the TAB) for the greyhounds they still have in their care after the last race is run.

More than enough Australian greyhound races for them to bet on. Entain can easily line up some Aussie pundits to take over from our local commentators.

I think they will always come out winners over a series of shows as they get given bonus bets and boosted odds to make sure they do. Just manipulation. Not the reality of betting on racing. PGF should be all over it.

As if racing doesn’t get too much already with escaping taxation , pokie money and accessing the PGF. etc.

I’m sure the Australians will happily programme some dog meetings earlier in the day to cover lost New Zealand meetings if it’s necessary to keep their turnover up.
