Common sense decision made regarding the Otago scratching fiasco. Animal welfare activists would have had a field day should the ban be enforced. Unreal to think the four trainers had to prove that the safety of dog was important to them.

Very nice effort

Seen that - what a complete debacle.

Very deserved to have the TR to his name also.

A shame a positive post now has a negative taint to it. It simply isn’t good enough GRNZ didn’t front the article, offering statements is not good enough. Go and get some PR advice, because what you are doing is crap.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing that we take ‘more notice of negative than positive’ news. It actually shows that the individuals who comment care about the sport and actually give a s..t. What annoys me is how the minority have the ability to wreck the game for the majority. you just need to look across the Tasman and now see that ACT greyhounds are now closed. The sooner these investigations are completed and put to bed the better.

Thank you to those helping. Job sorted.

Not a good look on TV tonight, take some ownership for actions, regardless of whom is at fault. The buck stops with the ‘trainer’

Hi, Looking for someone to transport two bitches from Chch to Wanganui please. Happy to pay transport portion and food. Phone text if can help. 021358104 Thanks Jamie

In my opinion! it doesn’t help at the 390m boxes the lure flys way too fast past the boxes, if there are head injuries no wonder why, the lure is almost round the bend. Chuck in those boxes and it’s a bad combo

It’s a joke - random alright. Hmmmmm *just my opinion..... b/s

It’s a fair point Eyespy, maybe the powers think it will be forgotten about? Yeah right

Nor do you get a refund if you import the dog for racing from Aus and keep the dog as a pet after it has finished racing. $500 Goes into the big pot of F’all

Couldn’t agree more

Incorrect, I am not suggesting that at all. My point is the parade steward or handler should have advised the stipe this had happened and what the process is given it is not the norm I have seen at my local track the stipe walk with the dogs to the boxes, is this normal? Why different for different tracks, I’m asking for a standard application of the rule.
