I've really enjoyed my time here (the last 3 years have been rough) scooby but every good thing must come to an end. I hate to tell you but I have just opened an account over at... So i guess you can ban me now because i will not be needing this account in the future.
As such this will be your last message on my site... thanks .

Grnz could have made this whole situation a lot easier by front footing the issue when the allegations were made. Surely they could have conducted their own investigation whilst the spca was doing their own. It happens in business all the time, simultaneous investigations.
if found guilty the book must be thrown, abhorrent, disgusting practice.

Jape,  let's put it down to a very sensitive subject perhaps   I did not mean  any offence.. What Aquaman stated about the length of time taken to erect a Basic requirement for the welfare of  our hounds  and handlers is so very true. Standing in pouring rain and wind at the start of a race for   3 extra minutes with a dog that has been  at a temperature of around 18 degrees for up to 3 hours and now shivering is a helpless feeling.

Why Do the problems that have been on going at Auckland continue? Perhaps, looking at the the picture  the  trackside camera  shows , focusing for all to see, as they zoom in to the troublesome sprint boxes, the first sign of deterioration is the algae STAINED  unused advertising space above the boxing area,    the second,  the weeds and un kept bottom of the fence that is the prime focus for all to see. Honestly, if the management and committee cant get on top of these simple requirements , because quite simply, they are not performing at the basic level required to promote our sport . Should they stand down.? The drainage at the winning post is a problem and  several meetings  must have been close to being called off. Has the committee ever thought of investing in a simple water pump to drain the excess water off to the centre of the track?, Does the manager and consequently the track manager actually care enough to worry about these obvious mundane things?

Jesus, some people are so precious.
Peter Fenemor said on the radio today that the heats were very average in terms of quality, how about you get stuck into him next?
If you really think those heats were full of up and comers you are deluding yourselves.
I do understand they can only race what nominations they get, I was just trying to make the point that if that was a reflection of the dogs coming through in the north then things look dire, and I stick by that, but I am also hopeful some good young dogs will be seen soon.
 

Here is an email passed on to me from  the Palmerston North Club
Afternoon all,   Roebyna Bak and Phil Holden - new CEO of GRNZ will be at the Palmerston North races Wednesday 30th March from noon for a couple of hours if you wish to come along and meet them.     PNGRC   Should the new C.E.O. be partnered by Roebyna ?  This to me go's back to the day  that Kennerly's arse was always covered by his understudy.. Surely the timing is not right either?, How the hell can The very  same people you need to meet get their dogs  secured and away have and have  needed  time prior and or during a race meeting..      

You are so right!!! .. Throw it over to Phil, He is in charge now and needs to get a grip on these things...One track after another with fundamental cock ups all the time. It needs to be rectified, and our new C.E.O. has put his hand up !!, after all that is why he has the job?..  Phil you are familiar  to the big boys in Rugby League, unfortunately the scrum from Head office wont help  like that, and dog shit between the toes is more offensive than a full on stiff arm tackle...

Ray, I think the part that you have wrong is the imports. The rehoming issue is  very local and by big players possibly stretching as far as board level are involved in ownership of dogs not being rehomed. We have a Welfare Officer that is out of his depth and for some reason hasn't the testosterone to handle the problem that is no rocket science. For example some of the numbers  boys have more youngsters on the ground right now than G.A.P pride themselves on targeting in a year for rehoming.. You keep on breeding Grandad and breed a couple of dogs that will take out the majority of the Group stakes in a year. Then sit back in your wheelchair with a smile I'll even push you around to watch and receive the accolades.....

The same lady that does the Palmerston draws is filling in while Venessa is on holiday. Maybe the confusion has arrived with the combined grades as the Palmerston Club appears flawed in this department by advertising combined grades by way of "invitation".. This leaves questions to be answered by our Racing Manager as to the clarity and possible manipulation of our rules that appears on facts to favour certain trainers and owners that are in positions of trusted responsibilities.

Yes he certainly left  his  dismal mark ..a huge dent in Greyhound history Not to be proud of...Don't forget that bludger the other C.E.O. they had to change the  title of C.E.O  to get rid of him,   and change it  to General Manager employing Dear old Jim.  Out of his depth as a C.E.O was that fella .  I guess we are a little off topic but it is a direct result of this era  we suffer still today.. Let's just hope now we can start turning things around and play fair and square in all facets of the sport...
