Palliser 1,173 Report post Posted January 6 Was hoping someone within the industry or NZGRA would be able to enlighten us on what the plan if any is on fighting the governments plan to end it all in 19 months and counting. The Logistics involved to stop doesn't bare thinking about. I just hope the NZGRA don't sit on their hands like they usually do and leave it till the last minute. I'm sure this time it's not the case and they are hard out preparing or creating the plan out of this balls up they have only themselves to blame.

Lowdown 312 Report post Posted January 6 https://www.dia.govt.nz/Resource-material-Our-Policy-Advice-Areas-Racing-Policy#submissions Some interesting reading here (including the links) for those who haven't found this. Gives an outline of the timeline of the decision making, and the meetings/conversations had in parliament etc. Interesting they are mostly banging on about injury rates which is just a misinformed, blown out of proportion statistic, greyhounds are pro athletes that get 'injury' stand downs all the time for as little as a few days for minor injuries, 'sand toe' or a skinned pad etc. And I also read in there somewhere that, basically, one of their main concerns is that they'll never be able to appease the animal activists...

Looks like the Ex National Track Curator, Jake Bell has his plans sorted. Embarassing behaviour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
