    My sincerest condolences Brian, to you and mum. 

    Mike and I had many conversations in recent times. He was indeed a good bastard, a passionate man who was loyal to those who mattered to him. He always called a spade a spade and I totally appreciated his candour. It does not make it any easier knowing this was coming, I will miss him and our chats very much. To you GOM, be at peace, my friend. Thank you for sharing your time.

    Today we laid to rest one of the great Dogmen of our times ending a forty year involvement in the sport.

    One positive thing, greyhound racing is unlikely to be affected by the new proviso that gatherings of 500 plus or more are banned

    Said it before, say it again ... Monopolies destroy any competition. NZGRA are to blame for allowing this and everything else that has destroyed the sport, it extends into those in the wider spectrum as well, certain owners, industry people etc etc.

    He probably won't mind doing that, he's still going to make money from the meeting cause the battlers are racing his cast off's that didn't make his standards and he still retains shares in most of them!!

    Bus Stop, I am not at all certain of the Northern situation but would bet that it cannot survive in it's present state. The most worrying thing about it IIMHO is that no one in either club appears to care about it or if they do seem incapable of doing something to change things.
          Both clubs have for decades suffered from a poor percentage of their members interested enough to stand for committee and as a result we have had a lot of the same old, same old, from the same old committee . The reasons for that are many but high amongst them would be in particular the Waikato club's reluctance to develop some interest of their dwindling members. After each AGM I usually grab a racebook to see if there is a new face elected but usually just find a reshuffling of the deck from the last year..
    A good example of being informed is I have heard numerous rumours? about the Auckland clubs lease on their site being due to end shortly and no right of renewal. Is that true? I have been a member of the Auckland club for years and have no idea. If it is presumably there is a plan B but is there?
    There is  a number of people dropping out recently because of  ill health to themselves or their wallets and although there have been a few welcome talented younger ones it is not keeping pace .
    It is getting harder to train greyhounds now, not only with restrictive rules and overbearing officialdom but unless you have a few backers with a bit of moolah behind you it is very hard to get traction. Even if you do get some success you still are likely to get a sideways look from members of the public.
    To answer your question in short BS I would not be surprised if at least one of those clubs finishes in the not too distant future or even both but hope I am wrong.

    Your statement is wrong.
    The reserves for this race were the slowest two 2nds by time.
    52.8 A determination conducted pursuant to this Rule will render any Greyhound ineligible to be a Reserve Greyhound if times are a factor in the selection of Reserve Greyhounds.
    The 10 dog did not have a time so is not eligible to be a reserve.
    So the fact is the 10 dog should be in the final 8 dogs selected to race in the final or not in the field altogether.

    Pilli welcome back its being a while, dont see you around the traps when up that way. In my opinon in think Uthor Bale mid race sectional would of been to much for Dyna Dave to make up. But my punting results show other wise. Would love to Dave pull off a big one draw could be a problem with a lot of speed drawn inside. Be a great race what ever the outcome

    Great to see northerners take the cash. Especially Jared and Nessy as they don’t have all the big owners and the iffy chasing Aussie dogs filling their kennels. They will also be (hopefully) going to the Easter meeting  at Hawera showing you can train the best and still support grass roots racing.The best weekend of racing around if you want a great time and night time entertainment.

    I think it's fair to say that most pundants would rank the strength of NZ Greyhound Regions as Southern..Central Districts..then Northerners. 
    So,it was something of a surprise to see the NZ Cup/Galaxy Group 1 double go to Steve Clark & Jared Udy/Denise Cottam Northern Kennels.
    Well today,the Auckland Cup/Railway Group 1 double went the way of Peter Ferguson & Jared Udy/Denise Cottam.
    In fact,from only 4 finalists,northern dogs ran 1st 2nd 3rd & 1st.
    Noteworthy some exciting lower grade dogs from Karen Walsh kennel look set to take their place in Group Races during next 12 months.

    Cheers Gerter, been awhile since any form of tips went up.
    Cant see anything at Cambridge spins my wheels. Addington, can really only see two chances.
    Race 6, box 1 She's For Us, she did run second to Dyna Dave in a two dog race last year and only lost by a length and a half but the time ran was 29.70.
    Race 9, box 1 Select Trick, pretty much a given but we all know that there is no such things as 100% winners.

    Good onya gerter, so far you are certainly tipping dogs that have firmed, the 3 dogs on day1 all firmed, halved in price even, so credit to you for that.

    What an exciting race and great win. I would not put it in the same league as Dyna Vickers AK cup effort though as Vickers was in a G1 final and his effort was extraordinary.
    I think Dave's win was more a credit to his intelligence than guts. The field sort of packed up at a crucial time in that race and Dave made the most of that. Very good effort by a very good dog though. See what happens in the final. If he is able to put up a similar performance in the final I will rethink it but it will have be bloody good to head off Vickers effort in that cup final.
