  1. GREYHOUND RACING BANNED IN FLORIDA SHARE ON: Greyhound Star — November 7, 2018 Greyhound racing has been banned in Florida, the home of 13 greyhound tracks. The Amendment 13 received nearly nine million votes of which 68% were in favour of a ban. Racing will cease in the state by 2020. Florida was the most active state for the sport which remains legal in Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa West Virgina and Texas.
  2. Contact Mike Morrah at Media works Tim..He is a real neat guy, just doing his job like you do.. Yes the Authorities have a lot to do .Concerning all Codes?
  3. Tim, He is a licensed person with the NZGRA, which is needed to even handle a dog on race days, but his wife Lisa is the registered trainer in this instance.
  4. Seems to be well within the rules.... 5.1 The Board shall have the following Powers in relation to these Rules: (f) To disqualify either permanently or temporarily any Greyhound which, in the opinion (belief - assumption - feeling - impression - point if view - speculation) of the Board, has been used for, or in connection with an Offence, or which has been entered or Nominated to run, or allowed to run in a Race or Satisfactory Trial under a fraudulent description, or failed to pursue the Lure during the Race or Satisfactory Trial provided that this power may not be exercised to change the placings. An Owner or Trainer of a Greyhound may seek a review, by a Judicial Committee, of any decision made under this Rule in accordance with Rule 66.2.
  5. Really enjoying this threads, posts, especially over the weekend, when usually of a weekend, things remain dormant. Some very good points have been raised. The “Code Of Welfare” I believe became N.Z.Law in 2013. The NZGRA did send out notification by email and hard copy and the R.I.U. took it on board by visiting several trainers at the time making them very aware of the consequences if this Code was broken. A Point, I would like clarified is Did the CEO of the NZGRA make this rule change available to the Chairman of the Board at the time for confirmation? If So, Who was the Chairman of the Board at the time? Recently this notice was circulated? Rule for consideration at GRNZ Board meeting on October 13, 2017 ( Note the date please) and it would be appreciated if the office bearer responsible could post the results of the minutes of this meeting... Mr Holden or in his absence Mr. Kerr ? Offences relating to luring and baiting 1. Only artificial materials are permitted for use as a lure or any other training device for the purposes of training a Greyhound or otherwise being used in connection with Greyhound Racing. Artificial material includes the use of tanned skin products. 2. No person may: i. use or allow to be used in connection with Greyhound Racing or training for Greyhound Racing a bird or animal whether dead or alive, and whether as a lure or to excite a Greyhound or otherwise; or ii. bring or allow to be brought on to grounds where a Greyhound is situated, a bird or animal whether dead or alive which might reasonably be capable of being used as a lure or to excite a Greyhound or otherwise; or iii. allow a Greyhound, for the purpose of training a Greyhound, to pursue or attack a bird or animal, whether dead or alive. 3. Any person who has knowledge of, or suspects, an offence has occurred, is occurring, or is reasonably likely to occur contrary shall report the matter to the Association immediately Penalties relating to luring and baiting Any Person found guilty of an Offence under this Rule shall be liable to: (a) a fine not exceeding $10,000.00 for any one (1) Offence; and/or (b) Suspension; and/or (c) Disqualification; and/or (d) Warning Off. Any Club found guilty of an Offence under this Rule shall be liable to, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board or the Stewards: (a) a fine not exceeding $10,000.00 for any one (1) offence; and/or (b) Suspension of its affiliation to the Association; and/or (c) cancellation of its affiliation to the Association Now .... The White Poodle, does not agree with the Dead bait part of this offence. It is overkill in this opinion !! How ever, the rule is Law and the NZGRA attempted along with the R.I.U. to abide.. Can anyone fill in the gaps of what actually is going on ?, I received notification of the Code and was made aware and after all that has gone down recently in Australian racing nearly being bought to its knees when the photo’s surfaced I could not believe that someone amongst us could possibly even think of abusing the future of the the sport and the Noble breed of dogs we choose to associated with...
  6. Spion Rose Group 1 and Dash for cash night- 8th December I am excited to be able to say that the 8th December will have our biggest ever crowd at a Wanganui Greyhound meeting with an anticipated 400 patrons being entertained by some of our best. Though with this increase we are well underway in preparations to accommodate the increase interest and publicity throughout the club. Over the coming weeks, we will have increase PR presence within the river city press and Wanganui chronicle. To accommodate the anticipated numbers, we are restricting upstairs club access to people who have purchased a $90 Christmas at the Races ticket. These have all officially sold out which is very exciting. Below the grandstand we will be having several hospitality marquees to entertain the extra 200 people we are expecting. There will be approximately 70 chairs and associated tables that will be reserved for trainers, owners, syndicate owners and associated people that trainers would like to entertain. Unfortunately, we will be unable to offer our normal menu, but we will be offering a $25 full buffet meal from 6pm-8.30pm that will be served from below the grandstands. We are also installing a separate bar, toilets and tote downstairs, and will be significantly increase security to reduce the risk of patrons being close to the fence. The marquees will be set nearly 3m back from the fence. We will also have car parking attendants on this night to help with the increased number of cars I hope that you will be able to join us and really celebrate the sport and the excitement of having a record crowd watching one of our premier nights. Christmas at the Races-24th,1st, 15th December As mentioned in my managers report, we have allocated a number of spaces for owners and trainers down the left-hand side of the venue. We have rerouted the Christmas at the Races entrance, to allow for easy entrance and exit for you. With our new kitchen system, we will do our best to make sure that dinners and prepared as quickly as possible. We have made these changes to allow for a better experience for the patrons that have Christmas functions and also to improve the ease of use for our owners, trainers and handlers. If you have any concerns, please come and see me and raise them and I will see what I can do. Trainers please note you will need to park over at the Jockey Club as there will be limited parking available Andrew Hansen Manager Hatrick Raceway - WOW Award Champions 2015 Venessa Trass SECRETARY WHANGANUI GREYHOUND RACING CLUB INC.

  7. I had a puppy that the vet damaged his back leg attempting to pull him out at birth. I had the xrays and all the advice given and I was told he would need to be put down or have his back leg amputated.He did not appear in pain and was just so much magic in my life it wasn't funny. I reluctently went with the advice and went for the amputation. The call from the vet telling me my boy never woke from the operation shatters me to this day. You don't have to be a Sergio to be loved ..
