Ill have to check my facts and get back to you on this one, but I am under the impression that the land has been identified as future residential or something along those lines.
But in saying that I think for the future of greyhound racing auckland and waikato should combine into one club....resite at suitable site and have a 2 turn track and 1 turn track like Melbourne.....build there own sports bar grandstand like cambridge and run it with pokies and have it open 7 days...also provide a straight track for training and breaking in purposes .

Its no secret however some tracks may be coming to an end. Auckland for example is already designated as future residential zoning.
Were did you hear that....the club still has years left on there lease and it is zoned recreational..so will never be housing..

Had to laugh, "Are greyhounds pet dogs or working dogs"
Seriously, is that the best question we've got??Have to ask...you might of thought it was ridiculous....but you were there ..so what did you ask?

"Greyhound racing is proposing to reduce their number of venues from 7 to 3 after 10 years. We have not undertaken detailed work on the harness or greyhound codes, so are not in a position to comment about their preliminary venue plans. The information provided by the harness and greyhound codes to the Future Venue Plan Joint Working Group meetings on 6 June and 6 July."
Also Greenfields Project. The Greenfields site could also possibly include provision for harness and greyhound racing, and all activities currently held at the Cambridge Raceway.
Who was the Greyhound rep at these Future Venue Plan meetings. Who intends to close down our sport and just have 3 professional venues with say 1 or 2 contracted trainers to each venue. Goodbye to all grassroots owner/trainers.
I believe it was Mario ba sari....couldn't inform us Gordon because it would be a conflict of interest being CEO as well as part of this futures board......so why was he there and why hasn't this been discussed with the grassroots......time for him to look at himself.....we dont need another secretive leader that has there own agenda..

Pleasntly surprised and finding it hard to argue with any of the recommendations.
Point 5 will be very interesting to see how they amend Section 16 and it will no doubt prove the major cause of angst amongst the codes
Still after reading it I fail to see were greyhounds or trotting are going to improve....this report is all about gallops.....only part is this tab out sourcing....but surely if winston wanted to do something he should revamp our tab....I dont know about anyone else but in my area we have had 3 pod machines taken out of 3 local hotels in the last 12mnths....in my opinion it's like poker machines there should be more pods around to increase turnover....every club and hotel in nz should have one....put them in shopping malls as well......not all people want a tab account and want to bet on phones......in my local the pod used to be a focal point for farmers and people to get together.....to the degree they used to organize trips to the races and want to buy shares in horses and dogs.....now the punters club is dead and no one watches or talks racing......get the basics right first as without grassroot people in racing no matter what you do it wont change things.....this report is exactly winston as was the last time he had control.....a quick fix and then we are in the s...t again....we need to rebuild the interest in racing.....taking pods away...stopping families going into the centre on new years day at ellerslie watching the auckland cup...they have turned a generation away all for the corporates ..now they are looking at stealing club land to make the rich richer.
-
Mike....1...to be honest to the average greyhound person the timing is wrong...to get there after racing on Thursday is impossible for most....2..if we turn up and listen ..what questions will winston answer...when he was racing minister in his last life at a luncheon at the northshore rugby club I asked him why he blew all the government money givin to the racing industry on 3 races......I got cut off and was told to sit down.....no different this time..he is the most failed politician in my lifetime...only he thinks he's good...if he can get something free out of it he will....its not going to benefit greyhounds full stop...winston will get a couple of free horses and the wealthy trainers and owners will get richer.....and ge eill end up with free lunches and whiskey.....so no sadly I carnt make it .

Very true jay4 it’s veru hard for this game when things keep coming but there are other industry that have there problems it’s all how they deal with them . I would have like to think our industry would have come to the party in response to this and other stuff articles as like I said before bad news sells more than good news . What they have said in this case is not a lot of facts plenty of holes but it paints a picture that they want to create.
Worst way and most painful way for a dog to die if it was heat exhaustion.....grnz need to stop greyhound farming and eliminate the numbers game right now if they are serious about welfare.....limit numbers breed per kennel and numbers trained before our sport is destroyed through greed...

so your dog was not stood down? He could compete in a COMPETITIVE race? Ill just leave the definition given by the NZGRA of what a race in NZ is:
"Race means the competitive pursuit of a Lure by two (2) or more Greyhounds in a Greyhound race and includes a Heat, Consolation Race, Semi-Final or Final."
Pretty sure being stood down and unqualified means he could not compete in a competitive pursuit of a lure with more than 2 dogs in an OFFICIAL race. Or am I mistaken? Geez if this was anyone else, youd be on the phone to every stipe in the North Island
So this is personal....get a life

The answer is NO - not until after it had completed and successgfully passed a Satisfactory Trial.
Look it seems hard for you guys to apprehend....but the dog was never nominated for a race or trial and never would have been if he had not requalified.....the point is was he eligible to race in nz......yes he was subject to requalifying....clear and simple

Sorry be there

Well the northern dogs were really disappointing. Cant see Pinny Mack featuring only running 30.44. Same with Natures Gent. The southern dogs will be tough to beat.
Wow Taylor you are so predictable...lol

Yesterday at cambrige the dress police were back.....I went to the track with black and whites on but I had white trainers on.......so to cut a long story short I went to get opawa loyal out and next minute the kennel steward was pointing to her feet saying trainers....Tracey Steele said what she on about....kennel steward kept poining to her trainers saying trainers...we were both perplexed as I had proper black shoes on by this time....o my God some one dubbed me in........get a life everyone or this sport will fold...not the trainers(excuse the pun,)..but over celouse officials who think they are in charge...and guess what it was easy to pick who the complaint was after it was mentioned...lol

Surely races are open to everyone to nominate, I can’t imagine any trainer can control whether or not they are the only one that decides to??
Very clever..good buisness really...club has to put on the races if 8 nominated.....Danny O'Keefe used to do it years ago with the hurdlers.....garreentee yourself $4600 Income....

I see some half wits on this site bagging freeman for running 600m races I don’t see a problem with it as they are great to watch and if a dog is not right why should it start ? As for the stand down a dog gets don’t they no he can present it Wednesday? That’s why the stand down isn’t up on the site yet . Ffs crazy people.
Wow...must be a non publish part..haven't seen anyone bagging him...

Seems to me you are the only one that does not understand the wording.
The important part is “eligible to race at 20th June”
If they are going to allow this dog to run then GRNZ needs to reopen Noms for all the other dogs that could have nominated to your interpretation of the rule.
p.s You keep mentioning Riding shotgun - although I can’t work out why - he was correctly qualified at the time of nomination closing!!
No he wasn't...he was a maiden and grnz rules were clear...invitation races and group races are c1 and above..and last year the amazing chase was a invitation race....last I say about it...its with the jca now..

The 28 days is the mandatory stand down period. A dog is disqualified until he passes a satisfactory trial. If the dog passed a satisfactory trial BEFORE the 20th June, than he would have been eligible to be nommed for the great chase. However, he had not re qualified before the 20th june. Therefore, he was ineligible as the dogs disqualification had not been removed.
After discussing this with the stipes today, this seems to be how they interpret it aswell. You could not nom the dog for a 457 or 527 metre race at Manukau or Cambridge so how could you nom it for another race with a clear deadline date? Seems absurd. Surely connections understood this? They are always having a go at others over similar scenarios.
Look let me explain again.....I rang grnz and asked what was the eligibility clause...was told it was there to protect the domiciled nz dogs....asked the question on pinny mack....was told he was eligible as riding shotgun was the year before...but he had to requalify before he started.....so what has been done wrong.....why don't you put your name to your personal attacks....and they as you say is me ...nothing to do with the connections of the dog so keep them out off it.......amazing how gutless some of you are.

The current lease has a right off renewal for a further 10yrs....that would need to be bought out....and unless it was big money why would you do it....also to change zoning is a major not just the strike of a pen...resorce management comes into play as does public opinion.....greyhounds are safe there for at least 15 years unless as I say are bought out which in a meeting with council last year was not a option......more a dream from our president and his followers..
