Thanks Chris a great gesture and it got people involved all the best with the trial tomorrow.

Drawn Barrier 2 best of luck for the weekend.

Seems a simple article is taken purely out of context by the mob of AS haters...he posted a piece of news I believe from their site, just to relate what is needed for a long weekend in a stable...if it had been about anyone else you AS haters would have said fair play to them...so if you want to hate them for no reason at all...find another place...this forum is for stories about everyone...not just people who some of you like...truth is in my opinion the AS team work hard and deserve everything they get....as does anyone who is successful in whatever they do... criticise by all means but be fair to the people involved.

Steve please stick to racing topics...you have come on here to do one thing only...if you have no interest in taking this back to the original thread topic then please move on...thanks.

Dont tell Rodger Tellnobody Good bit of fun Chris...cheers.

Ok lets get back to racing...thanks.....

From another forum... Seems to be a protected species for some reason???? Today we learn that big bad Brendon has incurred the wrath of Greyhounds NZ. They have finally decided to pull their collective heads out of the sand and have had him warned off from all race tracks in NZ. After weeks of outrage from the news media, and calls for the banning of Greyhound racing in all forms, the board have finally acted and hit the Cole empire with a wet bus ticket. The rule the board have invoked is 21, d. Powers and duties of the Board. Under this rule, the board may vary the conditions of the warning off as they see fit. On one extreme they can go the whole 9 yards, and effectively shut him down, or they can go the other way and vary the conditions to make it selective on what he can do or can't. They appear to have chosen the latter in Brendons case. They also appear to have not applied the same sanctions to the licensed trainer Lisa Cole whom is married to Brendon, thereby allowing the kennel to have the least disruption possible. You can read from this what you want, but from where I sit, it looks like the board are creating a smoke screen in that they appear to being harsh, when in reality they are doing very little. It is a snow job, designed to appease a howling public, putting the fire out with heavy breathing. When the news media, and animal welfare interests digest this insipid attempt by Greyhound NZ to douse the fire, you will find it back firing on them. They would of been better to do nothing. This only reinforce's the view that the Board of Greyhound NZ are only concerned with the least disruption with dog numbers in the CD, rather than their responsibility and DUTY to protect the reputation of Greyhound racing in NZ. This has been so badly managed from start to finish, it defies belief, and the miss management continues. I will be most surprised that when it features on 3 News next, that they are not awake to what is going on here, that they the NZGRA are attempting to put out the fire by doing a claytons sanction on Brendon, but allowing business as usual at the Cole kennels. The Greyhound people, by that I mean the honest folk that love their dogs and do things right are being poorly led by a bent dysfunctional Board. They need to be cleaned out, you deserve better.

You have been warned language like that again and you will be moderated I do not care what you think is true it does not need to be so disgustingly written on the forum..many thanks.I happen to agree what he did is totally wrong and callous and he should be thrown out, but it does not need filthy language to get the point across..JMO.

Last warning no matter what you think I will not allow this type of language on the site get your point across some other way please...thanks.
