Hound Fan 577 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 Can someone explain how grnz can change the lure distance outside there own rules ...75/1 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrock 127 Report post Posted May 7, 2014 Supposed to be a trial starting at wanganui next week. Very little if any consultation with the club or lps and very little time for the lure drivers to train themselves in the new distance, having been a lure driver in aus, this will take some getting used to, not sure the logic behind it or what it is supposed to change but i guess we shall see.

mcmissile 409 Report post Posted May 7, 2014 Guess it is a cheaper alternative than actually fixing the number of sub-standard tracks around the country, if they think this will reduce the number of injuries I think they will be sadly mistaken. I would of thought fixing track surfaces and antiquated starting boxes might have been a more pro-active undertaking but I guess we just wait and see punkrock and aquaman 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bus stop 230 Report post Posted May 9, 2014 Just another reason why Greyhound Racing is on a downward trend the board is desperate to be seen to be pleasing the minority, goes along with a northern club not wanting to hold maiden races future.
