Slim our or should I say the clubs problem is lack off noms 109....it doesn't matter who misses out 109 is 10 races...my point is is there a problem and people want to race at Auckland and not cambridge....why ?? Wouldn't be my choice and we need both tracks ..one turn and 2 turn.....but for example I've finally got yaboha back and there's no race at Auckland for him...then I wanted nightroligy to race at cambridge and no race last week so he starts at Auckland yet they had 7 noms.....surley as a sport we should cater for the best......but low and behold this week cambridge and grnz allow a 7 dog c2 race....Defys logic

All good Joe..appreciate the honesty

Just to keep it clear I nomed 11 dogs for cambridge and got 4 in....

Sorry who dosnt race dogs at cambridge??

Is it time cambridge gave up and passed some off there meetings on to auckland?...only 109 noms ...why? 10 races again ..why?.. Auckland have no problem getting 13 or 14 races so can't blame lack off dogs...is it a selection policy ? No not with only 109 noms....so why?........l will be honest I prefer cambridge to auckland but why won't people nom ??....is it there continual problem with there boxes ..there continual problem with there timer?

We're are we bagging each other?..we are having a open conversation with a bit off tounge in cheek .....sorry

Gary...most off the marketable aussie sires are in China....if nz sires got the amount off matings the aussie sires did then I guess they would have success as well at quarter off the cost...I'm not bagging aussie sires ..I'm just saying give them a chance as most nz sires have deserved the right to stand......to say they are nonnies is bit harsh and totally a figment off Yor imagination..

Haha Gary you are good...tell me the top aussie sires you are talking about?...most are average and not worth the cost....grnz have a lab full off aussie failed sires...at least with a nz sire your not paying massive prices for average stud dogs....no one is asking Australians to use our sires......stop trolling and bagging everything on this site

Guess our leader dosnt have a intrest so it dosnt matter...no one around him who he has employed has any intrest in greyhounds or knowledge in them they are directed by him....sad but true

I agree....after the fiasco with thrilling surge..I now have a betting account in nsw and will do all my small betting there now..

Look I'm not bagging the idea...but this marketing person they have employed has no marketing skills...what have they done? ?????

The sticker resembles the interislander sticker on there vechiles....give all us a break is this all we could come up with? You cannot even read it unless you are qmtr away from it........noticed even the head off our board dosnt have one on his car???

Also I just want to say...GAP do a fantastic job in the northen area...to be able to see and still be part off our ex racing dogs is special because they all still hold a big part in our hearts...I have 2 or 3 every Christmas come back here and live inside with our pet dogs ..which any off my ex racers are welcome for free while there new parents have a break .....they arnt just racing dogs

Here's the simple answer ... $2100 to import one dog $500 to clear customs and $500 to grnz...which I believe under the free trade agreement is totally illegal... but grnz do what they want and if you don't pay it you cannot race dogs.....I am importing dogs again simply because I can race them straight away....breeding is a gamble and we have won 6 group races doing it but it is not worth it...there is no infrastructure in nz to break in dogs properly...

Wow Gary you are onto it...lol...we have had a import fee off 500 dollars for the last 2yrs...

If I was you jake I would worry more about your own dogs pulling up yesterday instead off picking on others

Common lad....didn't break Roy Hobbs maiden record at cambridge...

Gezz jake you were not there ..you heard something....facts are simple as was said the dog trialed 700....facts are facts...there were no post to posts Sunday before the races....stop making spins ..the only post to post was after the last race by Tom Patton..and you were there ...

Dog trialed 18.50 Ist sectional on sunday ..his run up the back was one off the fastest I have seen....trialed over 700....going to take a super dog to run him down ..he might be at the end off his career but his class is class and think he will prove very hard to beat......nice guy the trainer as well and wish him the best....group one winner in australia he deserves respect.

I think you will find under new management at trackside he will be back sooner than later...I understand they are struggling to find replacements with guys coming through...just like Tony Lee in the galloping code.....

Yeah right...

We just looked on face book and we have a trotting driver using our boxes with a pet dog coming out of them...how would they feel if we took there starting stalls and drove it around the track....gezz what's next at cambridge....who gives these guys the right..no wonder there boxes and timers don't work..

There's a give a little page for Sergio...he was attacked by a dog in a park in waiuku and is fighting for his life in intensive care at the vets....costs are mounting and as one off our champion dogs it would be nice for us to help.....I've put $100 in if 20 off us did the same I'm sure it would make a difference.......

Moron..the cambridge futurity has never been for nz bred..in fact it has a residencies clause for imports that they had to be in the country before a certain date to be allowed to start originally it was the same as ch ch anyone could nom pups including aussie breeders.....even with the ch ch futurity Australian breeders can nom there litters if they so choose as long as they pay progress payments....think before you print......I'm struggling with what the problem is we live in a modern world were importing exporting is the future off all industry's....why should we be different......be intresting getting a answer wether grnz is in there rights to restrict imports from the Comercial department ...what now happens if a Australian owner wants to send a dog over for the auckland cup?....sorry you have to wait until April to be able to start...guess aussie will do the same to us and charge udy $500 ...don't think so they are a lot more intelligent and think about improving quality and making the sport international.....

Whatever...
