Thought both of them made a fair fist on their first day at the office.

Well going to be a few people ducking next week or so 
Be no more than they deserve 
Egg foo yon special all next week

Yes the non tote days where a lot of fun always a bet  between a trainer or two of the out come,a beer a pie and a icecream for the kids.

WOW alright...It'll be the first time Matt has ridden a Jennifer!

Just need someone with personality , industry knowledge and passion .Surely that’s do able ? 

Dont miss the after race interviews at all 95% of the jockeys and trainers wouldnt either, the guy with the micaphone was at times over the top for example keep on firing questions to a jockey that was bugged or a owner trying to get to the photo shoot..

Thought Andy did a great job. Can’t be easy looking at a tv. Can’t glance back to see dogs., did his homework and knew  about racing styles of dogs.  Well done. 

Thank Christ its all over what ever your thoughts on the matter are lets move on.

You need to wonder if the Sunday programe was aired at this point of time to bring it to the general publics attention to let the concerns smoulder and when and if the Cole case goes public it will be like throwing petrol on the smouldering fire and then wait for the reactions.wouldnt be surpised if the anties saw this as a oppturnity.

Understand the R.I.U. Rooster Investigator Unit are on the case lets see if they cock this one up.
 
 

It just goes to show you the people running the 3 codes are way out of touch. Need more grassroots from the codes having more imput but the will never happen now that the goverment appoints most of these positions. After nearly 30 years being involved in 2 of the codes I fear for this industry going forward.

I see its Peter Earley last day of calling this sunday love or hate him i hope they give the send of he deserves nearly  50 years in the game. Hope RITA, GRNZ recongise his imput into the industry.  Not holding my breath.

Have been told Auckland Greyhounds the other week had offered to cover all costs to have on course terminals operating wages, line hookup etc but the power to be said no. I also understand they have offered to buy the existing terminals and cover costs but no way will they let that happen. Just goes to show that when a club tries to help themselves they get no surport.

Saddened to hear of Mike's passing,had spoken a few times and i loved following the martin dogs.Mike and Linda always had a good dog born and bred at home of course too.
He was a fan of mine which was a priviledge as clearly he knew what it took to be a good greyhound caller.
Taken far too soon and he will be sadly missed.Deepest sympathy to Linda,Brian and the whole martin family on your loss.
NZ greyhound racing is all the poorer without him.

Linda Brian and Family
So sorry for the passing of Mike.
A man with such a constant work ethic for fairness at all levels of this sport.
In my early days of training I went to Hutt Park and met Mike and Linda.
I was so impressed with the fitness and magnificent condition of their bitch "Spades".
I declared to myself that day, that I would always endeavour to present my dogs in a similar condition.
I have never forgotten that day.
I will always remember Mike as a stalwart for those with lesser opportunity than others.

Musical chairs but with consequences. Barsi from GR to HR. Holden from GR to HR. Hughes from RB to GR. Dore from TAB to GR. George, RIU, ARC, TR, more chairs than the queen's banquet hall. Those are just a few off the top of my head. Racing seems to like recycling the same air.
