dustydreamnz 493 Report post Posted May 22, 2014 Know Class know good but was unlucky as many of us expected. Oh the draw! Showed lots of class to make the final though and no doubt that won't be the last one he makes. Jabba2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernlea25 110 Report post Posted May 22, 2014 Super effort the winner - got off balance leaving the front straight the first time as the dog beside it came out a tad, turning Sweet It Is a little sideways. Not a huge amount of interference but to regain balance and momentum and come with such a strong run was beautiful to watch. Imagine how far it would've won by if the race had been, say, 750m instead of 715m. Well done to the connections of Know Class. He did so well to qualify for the final, particularly given his limited experience over the long distances - unfortunately the breaks didn't quite go his way last night but you can be very proud. dustydreamnz, Jabba2 and GONSTA 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy 69 Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Just an update for those interested, Cole has been on a working holiday in Queensland for the last couple of days beginning with a very good trial, followed by a couple of days off and culminating in racing in a heat of the Group 1 Gold Cup tonight at Albion Park. He's drawn the 6 box but has a spare box in 5 which helps. It is a no tv race but Gaylene has informed me a replay will be shown approx half hour later.

chiknsmack 490 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 He goes around tonight in the Super Stayers Invitational at Albion Park. It's a 4-dog shootout; the trifecta from last week's Albion Park Gold Cup and QLDer Wag Tail. Xylia Allen is long odds on as you'd expect. Scheduled start time is 10:44pm. dustydreamnz and lad27 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winner was unbelievable. I thought Know Class was disappointing. Every chance after getting into beautiful spot but didn't seem to round it off like he can. Thought he would be really suited to the small field size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustydreamnz 493 Report post Posted June 20, 2014 It was a tough field and that is what happens when you are racing good dogs Was a top field, I did expect better though.

GONSTA 1,148 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Hope he pulls up alright after last nights run. Probably the weakest field he's faced so far in Australia and was tailed off 5 lengths last as a $1.9 fav. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Symes 124 Report post Posted July 17, 2014 Steward's Report Pyrenees Grand was slow to begin. Know Class, Run On Rosey and Hornsey's Mate collided soon after the start checking Run On Rosey and Know Class. Molly Michelle checked off Claretown Bart on the first turn. Pyrenees Grand and Run On Rosey collided approaching the home turn. Run On Rosey raced wide in the home straight. Hornsey's Mate raced wide in the home straight. Know Class was vetted following the event. It was reported that the greyhound sustained injuries to the right pencil muscle and the right thigh. A 14 day stand down period was imposed. A sample was taken from Dynamo's Miss - winner of the event. dustydreamnz 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually detail the injury rather than the NZGRA's cover up policy which they admit openly that they stopped listing 'certain' injuries because of the anti's... Bit of a joke for punters when you see some injury prone dogs and not a clue what's happened to them. alltheway!!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting comments lad, so in YOUR opinion you think the NZGRA is doing the right thing in covering up 'serious' injuries in stipes reports and that we can openly move forward and improve the industry / turnover by doing this? ( just remember local turnover is diminishing by the year. ) You also make it seem like they don't have any antis in Australia, because trust me they have plenty... Don't get me wrong lad, I love greyhound racing and honestly most of my turnover is in NZ, I just think when it comes to animal welfare and treating punters with respect the NZGRA is so far behind the GRV it's not funny ( and what's changed since 3rd degree? Apart from a welfare officer that refuses to reply to industry participants emails. ) gary1, alltheway!!!, mcmissile and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there well and truly active in ozz but their greyhound industry is a lot more powerful and acts towards them. Aquaman have you got your head in the sand? Mr X has the support of Grey2K who have shut down racing in America in certain states, Got his tv shows, 60 minutes and 3rd Degree, has been to parliament and put his two cents in, also has some support from the Greens.

No i havn't got my head in the sand. These anti racing people only flourish when we have weak ,spinless ,PC leadership such as displayed in our own organisation. You do not surrender to lunatics and nutters. To be strong you must steer your own course, and have the courage of your convictions.
