  1. Distance dogs have always been few and far between. Unfortunately with the flow of australian dogs slowing down, loss of trainers and the lack of distances in some regions, distance racing and middle distance racing id hurting even more.
  2. Who wants to race greyhounds these days? Full of cheats and people turning blind eyes to things
  3. Because it isnt restricted age
  4. Awful decisions left right and centre around this project Saw it yesterday. The project will be a complete failure. The tracks curved so the centres higher then the outside. They want this track to replace the sprint races at wanganui Which is insane. You will need strong 450m dogs for this distance. Most sprinters will struggle 250m straight let alone a 350m+ straight No middle distance dogs will race there because theres more money in middle distance races and itll be too long for the squibs. to top it off, the straight track they based the design of doesnt race for 6 months of the year.
  5. They shouldnt breed more then we can rehome. Every racing dog deserves a life after racing. Problem is theres only so many dogs that can be rehomed so Dont want to go back to the 80s and 90s when the cowboys in the industry were shooting their dogs or hitting them with spades. Sick stuff.
  6. It depends. Can be stress. Dogs rubbing. Wooden beds.
  7. Yes it 100% should have been Father gets 12 months for meth positive and animal abuse Son gets 18 months. Be one of the smallest punishments ever at this level. I think people in grehounds generally are over it all
  8. SUMMARY 69. Charges a. On the Methamphetamine Charge, the Respondent is disqualified for twelve months, commencing on 20 November 2023. b. On the Animal Welfare Charge, the Respondent is disqualified for a period of six months commencing on 20 November 2023. 70. The periods of disqualification are concurrent. 71. The Respondent is ordered to pay costs to the Informant of $6,026.54. 72. The Respondent is ordered to pay costs of the Adjudicative Committee of $2,500. https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/non-raceday-inquiry-written-penalty-decision-dated-3-november-2023-john-mcinerney/ 12 month DQ and his son trains all the dogs during that time. Hardly a slap on the wrist
  9. Honestly couldnt answer. Im not defending Mcinerney here by the way just pointing out what appears to be the facts of the positive meth result. Ill let people form their own opinions on the Mcinerney operations. Dont know much about the injured dog other than it had aggressive cancer. Doesnt sound like it was racing, only that he didnt take it to the vets right away and instead gave the dog pain relief.
  10. They didnt drug the dog to compete. The contamination came from the satelite kennels in the CD from his son Steve who has a well known history of drug use. In greyhound racing, you are guilty regardless of the circumstances. However, makes little difference here, dogs already under J Mcinerney Jrs name
  11. What was the point of closing this track down for a month again? 3 40+ day standown injuries in 3 meetings plus one more from a fall after the finishing line. The one yesterday was the worst. The dog was in clear air. Track certainly doesnt appear safer. Cant wait for the media to pick this one up along with the Mcinerney positive case. Things like this are just driving mpre nails into the coffin. We all know why they didn't shut down longer... the nz cup is in a few weeks
  12. Failing to admit any faults until a few years ago. Participants still have their head in the sand now. So not surprising
  13. From personal experience injuries have declined however the seriousness of injuries is probably worse. Grass tracks would lead to many more hock and toe injuries
  14. Greyhound racing in NZ is in a far worse position then the other codes in all animal welfare issues with no improvement in sight. Always the end result with how terrible the industry has been run
