I don't see them anywhere. Am I blind?

Why is it a ploy to do something to reduce the number of injuries? When dog injury stats are no worse than horse injury stats will Winston be banning both or none?

"As part of considering a legal defence, Rennell wants to compare the greyhound industry, which has “full and transparent” injury reporting, and the horse-racing industry. “I would say the level of euthanasia in greyhound racing is lower than the racing euthanasia rate in the equine codes. I’m not saying their rate’s unacceptable, but I don’t believe ours is either.” Asked if fewer horses were injured in horse racing than on the greyhound track, Rennell said he didn’t think all horse racing injuries were officially noted."

I wonder if it's just the dog's welfare they have in mind or if they're trying to achieve something else.

If I didn't like betting on the dogs I would probably agree with that 80% because I would be able to pretend to have a conscience without it affecting something I enjoy doing. I wonder how much of that 80% would rather we still had cheaper eggs from battery caged hens.

There are OZ races to bet on. I wonder if they do things differently over there to stop the anti crowd moaning.

Thanks. I came here wondering why the meeting was abandoned.

It's the format really which doesn't suit me. I don't read formguides but just take notice of the numbers. I copy the meetings and paste them into Excel and use macros to sort the data in a way to suit me. Of interest to me are Early Speed, Track Distance Times, The Oz site rating and advanced tote odds.There's too much information in the official guide - I would be forever changing my mind.

Thanks but not quite the same thing and the same guide which the TAB publish.

Nothing there. Doesn't matter really. It's just one club's meetings. I was just curious.

Do you know of a similar guide which isn't mixed up and is also free? So I guess you're saying the change of venue is for safety - I didn't even know that. Now can you answer my question seeing as you're so smart - how long will it be like this?

How long will they be doing this? It's messing up my Form Guide from Australia. They're confused and not sure if the meeting should be listed as an Auckland meeting or a Cambridge one. The guide is still of some use but they don't gather tote odds if the meeting isn't listed properly. https://www.thegreyhoundrecorder.com.au/form-guides/

I wish they would keep the meetings separated. It gets a bit confusing when two meetings are held on one day.

I know they've been a bit lacking with no comments on them but I still like to see what an 'expert' is picking. Hope it's not permanent. I like to print them out for a timetable. Just in case someone from the TAB checks in here - I wouldn't mind the race distances to be included in the tip sheets.
