Eagle Eye 231 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 I see they are raffling their sponsor of the race, My advice is the club needs to give a descent trophy and a ribbon at least as last year they gave a plastic trophy no ribbon or rug, the trophy had nothing written on it, it would have been a $15 trophy at most. Now I'm not being rude but up front that is not what any club should do for a Group2 race especially a North Island champs as this is a bad look for the sport, I hope they take more pride this year and who ever wins the sponsorship rights make sure the trophy says their name at least on it cheers WB aquaman and modest mouse 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

it's a ballroom 174 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Wife's dog won the Manawatu cup there last year , no trophy or rug just a ribbon. Surely if the winner doesn't get a cup it should just be called " The Manawatu " ? To those at Palmy it's all about the money , sod the owners . GONSTA and alltheway!!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame that club was one of the Pinnicle clubs when I first was involved in greyhounds in the late 70s no cup for that race is just Rediculous come on president do the right thing for the club for the sponsor for the owners the trainers and public as PR is extremely important Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Eye 231 Report post Posted May 24, 2016 North Island champs Group2 trophy lol here's the proof, hope the sponsor makes sure the club doesn't present this rubbish without even an engraved plague stating what it represents, in my opinion is beyond a joke it's actually an insult to the Race, cheers WB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
