    You all missing the point.
     
    Eljay, being a handler does not allow you to train, correct? Emotive understand what you saying, but when those within the industry are making mistakes, that is where those policing the industry need to get off their lazy useless butts and do the job they are masssivley overpaid for. This is bigger than the subject Mr D . The biggest  loser will be greyhound racing.

    I've really enjoyed my time here (the last 3 years have been rough) scooby but every good thing must come to an end. I hate to tell you but I have just opened an account over at... So i guess you can ban me now because i will not be needing this account in the future.
    As such this will be your last message on my site... thanks .

    Surprised there was no investigation made by the nzgra or riu into how someone managed to falsify the papers. Seems strange.

    What a joke that is trainers need to be compensated for the work they do to ensure there dogs are ready to race... it is not there fault people at the other end cannot get it right. this was not an act of god so a payout is required !

    Where is the equilibrium in N.Z. for breeding dogs. We all ready have to many dogs, hence 15 card races every week, pressure on rehoming agencys - how long will this last?
    Personally I don't see the ozzie dogs been the problem.
    If you have time/money/reasources then the sky is the limit hence the four big breeders in N.Z., 2 in the South Island and 2 in the North Island, as there is no cap how many litters one enity can breed. With the small one litter every 2-3yrs breeder been shunted out the gate and likely never to return which dissapoints me alot.
    You can look at it two ways:
    1 - Good on them for taking the risks and going for gold 
    Or 
    2 - We keep going down this path its going to root the industry 
    Unfortunately I see option two unfolding in my opinion and I really don't like the look of it. Palmy used to be my favourite punt day but not anymore I don't bet on a Monday, with Thursday prefered or Sunday. 
    N.Z. breeding has improved and the sprint-a-thon meetings have cut back with better breeding and some in part to the big breeders but they can use the best bitches and straws. Smarter breeding on the smaller breeders part is a must.

    There are many who would applaud that effort, but the simple fact is, they race large numbers of dogs and create races that they will dominate. Example: 410, 457, and 520m races containing 8 kennel runners. Most of the runners just make up the numbers for a guaranteed result. I believe they had around 53 acceptors and lined up 45 on Monday. It has been said that they have more dogs than the total from all other kennels in the CD. I don't agree that the intended domination of north island tracks is good for the future of racing on any level. How do you attract new blood to the sport when such deliberate domination exists? Given the last report, how do you justify that type of breeding? What possessed the GRNZ to sanction such large-scale breeding given the number bred by that kennel is greater than the total re-homed by GAP per annum? The future is not bright. I applaud those who hang in there despite the odds.

    clarkie reacted to Jape in Edith Kern RIP   
    It came to my notice that a past greyhound trainer, Edith Kern, had died recently. 
    Edith became well known through the deeds of her very good greyhound, McKern, who was a son of Wendy's Legend x Pandalola. McKern was beaten a nose by another very smart dog in Cool Tee Jay in a Wellington Cup and Edith also campaigned McKern in Australia.
    Later Edith joined forces with Owen Marron and this was a formidable combination, enjoying  considerable success particularly at Hutt Park, on the grass track at Palmerston North, and at the Solway racecourse. Indeed, for a time, Masterton was very much the centre of greyhound racing in the Central Districts. 
    As the tracks mentioned came to be closed down, or reconstructed in the case of Palmy, so the Kern/Marron names came to be seen less often among the trainers' lists until they slipped out of the greyhound game completely.
    Edith Kern was an admirable member of the greyhound community and will be well remembered by those who were also part of the sport at that same time.

    False story,what are you referring to. Ive always thought its you who have chosen to be judge and jury,,shutting down some debate over topics being discussed in the media,while allowing others to be continued.  Remember the mike breslin persecution you allowed because you said it was true. You are very selective.,and inconsistent.  Ive always thought it may be because of legal reasons,but whatever.   You referring to lynch mob is ridiculous. Don't worry about banning me. I'll give myself  a permanent holiday.

    clarkie reacted to Emotive in Clean Up Your Act says Winnie   
    I have never been more disgusted with my sport than I am right now. If our membership doesn't unite to force the necessary changes, then others will make changes for us. I am tired of the buts, the blindfolded wishful thinkers, the denial brigade, the finger wavers, and the dinosaurs, our own attitudes, and actions are at the crux of this issue. No one wants to stand up and speak out, and when one of our members does, he is labeled a troublemaker and bashed. You pedestal those who don't deserve it and rubbish those who do right by there dogs, no matter how average their racers are. The people who train by legal means, who don't abandon their dogs because they aren't fast enough, who hold on to their dogs until a forever home becomes available, these are the heroes of our sport, not the mega breeding dumpers who talk themselves up at the awards. This will be our one and only wake up call, FFS Wake UP!

    Was watching the tv one news tonight and here they were highlighting the  apparent deliberate lack of transparency  by greyhound nz when it comes to record keeping.
    I could not help but think of the post aquaman made last month about the very same subject, where he called for just that..  Interesting to go back and read those who supported his comments and those who rubbished his comments.  
    So here we are today listening to the news where the greyhound industry is being rubbished because your leaders have failed to do what it appears the majority of your participants want,all to deceive the public.    Its shake your head  and throw your hands in the air stuff.
    It also highlights that in some of the threads Scooby has closed down, the very same subject matter is what we are seeing on prime time tv,on radio,in newspapers and on the internet.

    I do not agree with Scooby as many other cases have been discussed on this site, the comments sometimes more disgusting than the crime. But Scooby holds the power. I never brought this subject to the table, I never posted the media clips, but once the info was out in the open, like most cases, people have opinions and the right to question what has been presented. God knows the questions are being asked all over the country. My last comment is this: If this was not sport connected, would you and those who support your view be flying the fair trial banner? Nothing anyone has said here is going to have any influence on the outcome. That will happen behind closed doors.

    I lost all respect for Craig Rendle and became worried about the industries future after having a phone conversation when he had become a board member.
    I wanted to discuss the discrimination placed on imports but was told "oh well you can buy some bread and butter dogs off Brendon Cole"
    That is my personal opinion and im just informing you of why I lost respect for the man.Of course many other things have happened since that have strenghtened my disrespect.
