While I believe in innocent till proven guilty, if the allocations are proven to be true, what will happen to all the stake money earned while under investigation? With positive swabs the stake money is returned, does the same apply in a case like this? (Anyone clued up on the racing rules?)

Log in Races Getting Involved Trainers Greyhounds About GRNZ News Investigation Update An animal welfare focused investigation is currently underway. The lead agency in this investigation is the RNZSPCA operating under the Animal Welfare Act. The SPCA have a number of specific powers under this act. The RIU is providing support to the SPCA investigation. Greyhound Racing New Zealand has provided full support to both the SPCA and the RIU in relation to the investigation. It is important to understand that the investigative process must be allowed to progress and not be undermined. GRNZ is unequivocal that the integrity of greyhound racing in New Zealand is our foremost priority, that includes a zero tolerance to any proven form of inappropriate animal welfare practice or issue. GRNZ has done all that it can until such time as the investigation is complete. We have not been given any indicative timing as to when this may be. We understand that this is proving to be frustrating for some greyhound racing participants, however, the investigative agencies have to be given time to complete a thorough and systematic investigation. Once the SPCA investigation is complete and any action taken by the SPCA implemented, the RIU will then be in a position to investigate whether there has been a breach of the Rules of Racing, and advise GRNZ of any action that should be taken. Until that process has concluded we have to wait and allow the investigation process to continue.

Keep an eye on how much money doesn't get punted on this race, that might answer your question, I might be wrong but let's wait and see

Modest Mouse made the comment

New people can't compete with that, they'll all be bankrupt by the end of the week

C1 sprints wasn't the point I was trying to make

Did you watch the racing on Tuesday at Wanganui? It was awesome!

Tuesdays racing at wanganui , not a single Cole dog in, it was great watching the other trainers battling it out, Punting $$ on each race was good.

Hair testing, the excuse book came out for that one a while ago, cost... etc maybe they could start with random kennel visits with blood and urine tests from randomly selected dogs

Seriously? I think it gives everyone else a fair chance for a change Its nice not seeing 5 or more cole dogs clogging up the feilds

What an awesome article, if I had a half decent dog to start with id consider doing the same

What's more disturbing is someone probably got paid for coming up with that shyt

He must be running out of 15 year old news to re hash

Anyone selling an ultravet Canine or similar Cheers

Well what did he expect? Arguing about tax with a 45 year veteran from the IRD plus others who saw through his "evidence" Aaron Cross your a fool, your a time waster and everyone can see through your lies

Morning all, just wondering if if there are any Sergio straws floating around?

Bit of an irrelevant question then isn't it?

Sounds like someone is after Danielle's job, maybe if she were offering something constructive instead of nit picking and "trying to " stick the boot in that might be helpful?

Probably slightly of topic but I wouldn't mind knowing what happened to the new drug testing/ hair follicle testing that was supposed to start 1st Feb (apologies if I have the date wrong)

Things must be quiet on the horses for him to venture to this side...

When will GRNZ demand they get a fair share of the funding pie from the NZRB? Say the dogs produce 30% of turnover but only receive 15% of the funding $$$ as stake money

Do you really need to ask?

Did anyone hear Greg Kerr on Talkback ZB earlier today? It was NZGRA response to what happened in Australia and where NZ stands on the situation

Or Saturday racing instead of a weekday day meeting when most other people are at work? Could be day meeting at one track and night meeting at and night meeting at another
