Nope - no need when Hank set him for the plunge win over 400m at his second start at Richmond (but I saw him trial over the 330m there and he ran the hands off the clock) Would have easily won a FFA over the 330m there

He Can Yodel had a month off leaving Aus with Jake racing him up to fitness Trainer know exactly what is required to get the dogs fitness up for the upcoming Spion Rose Dogs has run 22.47sec at Richmond, 22.8 at Gosford Broke 30.00sec at Gosford Won in BOD 30.06 at Wenty Me thinks Mossie = Gary1 clown lol

New laws in Aus means anyone in this country cannot bet on NZ TAB Accounts (even Kiwis visiting Aus cannot use their TAB Accounts) Even though they co-mingle the pools NZ TAB appear to have dropped the ball - interesting to see the turnover on the NZ TAB tonight and over the weekend

Very sad news Gordon - she was a champion and her longevity in racing was amazing - turned up every week and gave her all on the track - jibbs

Great night out at Richmond - Kristy did a few things wrong at the start and still had the pace to come out in front at the first turn and run away to victory - well done to the team Stu, Wasa and Glen

Finished a very creditable 3rd in the semi after missing the start Makes the $10,000 consolation final next week and with a better start will be ultra competitive

Well done to all (Stu,Wasa and Craig) on the win Sat Night Will only improve and a top chance of getting through to the final

Good luck to the boys Wasa and Stu - looks a nice heat to be in so a great chance of making the semi - finals next week jibbs

I raced against dogs called 'The Park' and 'The Black Rock' in the late 80's (both were superstars on the track) and they were the last of the 'The' prefix I can remember Another was 'The' fun police ie Bureaucrats have taken over the sport

Clarkie has some nice pups in the making coming through (just to name a few) Piggy Back x Dee Kay Em Peking Tom x Atomic Claim Magic Spike x Buzz Cafe Magic Sprite x Swift Fantasy

With the new cost structure being put in place initially by Racing Queensland being $1200 to register a brood bitch and $250 to register a pup, it will cease backyard breeding to a trickle Once in place in QLD, wont be long until adopted nationally by Greyhounds Australasia (including NZ) Do the numbers on a litter of say 10 pups to breed and then add in frozen semen, whelping, rearing and break in costs and it will not be viable to breed a litter In 18 months time,there will be a shortage of dogs bred over that time to fill fields within Aus or NZ The problem them becomes that there are less females to breed from and it will cause a flow on effect from there with less pups for the next season and so on

Congratulation to all involved Lots of work went into the win after the dog sustained a bad toe injury back in Jan 2015 Both Warren and Stu Dickinson deserve all the success that come their way with the time and money they spend on the greyhounds they both love to watch run around Well done to the team

Go and look at the head on vision, Atom Bomb had her legs taken out by the 7 dog from the jump -she came off a limited preparation due to a few niggling injuries and will be greatly improved with her first ever 779m run - she has trialled 18.49, 30.20sec to the backmark recently and that will see her leading the final - she is a natural front running stayer and will be even more competitive this week

Atom bomb leads and then chasing is shandell with SII back in the pack - down the back SII makes her move and that's the race, fighting out 2nd and 3rd are shandell and atom bomb - there is your trifecta - will be a great race to watch - bring on Sunday afternoon - jibbs PS - Johnnyboy - atom bomb is a she lol

Hi Bunyarra Stats can be made to look good and there is little doubt that is the case with the GRNSW figures Litters with 1 pup (or a pup that is born deceased etc) are recorded for their purposes Paul wheeler also provides a larger number of those stats above and very few (if any of his dogs) actually race in NSW and more importantly NONE generally are for sale to the public I know a vast number of breeders who I personally used to purchase pups from have cut back substantially and in most cases have even given the game away completely Greyhounds Named in that same report show: 2009/2010 6,595 named 2013/2014 5,317 named Trainer/Owner Trainers 2009/2010 3,882 total 2013/2014 3,163 total These number include participants like myself who hold an Owner/Trainer licence and have not trained a dog for 10 years The key stat that is never in the report is the number breeders (active participants) Without breeders there is no racing dogs to buy and race

The breeding scene here in NSW has been in decline for many years Now,it is in rapid decline - breeders are dropping out of the industry in droves and stud dogs are been used sparingly (especially in the last 2 months) all over Australia When you consider that NSW and Vic breeders supply a lot of stock to most of the other states then the future looks pretty bleak across the board What does NSW GRA do to assist, they cut out the Blue Paws breeding scheme and reduce prizemoney (announced in the last 2 weeks !!!) The ageing population of participants involved in greyhounds here in NSW is about to peak with many owners, breeders and trainer already hanging up the lead and collar and no new blood coming into the game In 18-24 months time, we will not be able to fill fields here in NSW let alone supply other states with greyhounds so if you think in NZ that you can just buy and Aus import to race and no breed your own dogs, then you have missed the boat and will have quite a few empty kennels (and fields) in the coming period

Hi Slim - I was at the track that day and it was myself who went and saw Mike Austin - there was no head on available and you could not tell if the dogs muzzle made contact so the dog was let off Would be the same result for any dog in the same situation We never sold Hypotential and ask Glenn to train it for us with the noisy lure in the CD (away from the silent lures in the North) - he raced with great success in the CD until injury forced his retirement

Tee Kay Tapper (The Kennel Yapper - never shuts up barking)

Blitzing Mayhem is returning from injury - has his first trial back last Monday at Cambridge and all looks good at this stage - probably 4 weeks away from starting as he will be taken along slowly until he gets to full fitness

Dogs get used to their home environment - you can stress them quickly by taking them away from their daily routine and kennelmates We travelled Blitzing Mayhem to and from ChCh each week of the NZ Cup series as he is a settled dog at home and would not have performed as well if he stayed in ChCh during the series Its quite easy to put a dog off their game by changing their routine

How else do you get a dog better at travelling if you only go to your local tracks You travel them and try and find a way to get them to settle during the trip or used to travelling - no use setting your dog for a NZ Cup in Nov unless you travel him around now and teach him that he is not going to race 20mins away fromhome each week !!

Well done to CC, Matty and the team from Marton He beat the current Auckland Cup winner fair and square and if he could travel better would be competitive against any dog in the country Will be hard to beat in any contest (Grp Race) in the CD and is still learning the game Jibbs

The Derby meeting is not being shown in Aus either - we get to see Addington instead !!
