alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 These 'restrictions' on imports wont hold up in the court of law at all (for the most part, this restraint of trade goes against public interest and would be considered unreasonable on the grounds that there is no specific time frame in which the NZGRA will uphold this restraint on trade as well as contradicting NZ's own trade policies on tariffs). last time I checked, they are NOT above the law. The NZGRA will have fun trying to uphold these rules on importing dogs over the next year. jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hound Fan 577 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 The import thing is totally not nessasary when in the north our c5 middle distance dogs are sitting in there kennels at most meetings....if nzgra is so revitalised why not do something about it,this has not just happened it has been happening for months and months....can you imagine how good a salior would be if he can't change direction when needed.....we're is all the discussing on the out of money payments with LPs....surly I think most will find the 80 dollars is not working for 4th as a co gets the same as a c5...again thought needs to go into it,maybe give everyone 20 dollrs per dog.....LPs have lost any representation....as I said in there hive in Wellington they might feel revitalised but again what about us LPs......again we have a marketing person doing what? When have LPs seen the welfare officer in the north...when has the racing manager made a call to meet LPs? But gezz the office is revitalised.

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 I think dispensing with the petrol vouchers was actually a positive thing and if you take the fourth place money now then logically according to your analogy Steve the class 5's should have got more petrol vouchers for 4th than other grades. You had better be careful as well Steve or you are likely to end up as a potential on the drug testing list. jasonmccook1 and aquaman 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know your going poor as a trainer if relying on stakes to feed your dog's is the way you do it. Agree it's poor management to forget to pay out stakes though.

I don't disagree that the stakes not being paid is unacceptable but is that not an animal welfare issue that if a trainer does not get a stake they don't get fed the days following the meeting?

Hound Fan 577 Report post Posted January 14, 2017 I think the difference is on my 47 years is the sport it used to be a family and people sport..under the latest management it is suppose to be commercial.....what they will realise that is not the way our sport should be run... we are the only family based where 5 year olds can be part off it....gezz the money in it is average but it was fun.. ...i used to respect craig more than anyone neat guy and I thought he would be great for our sport. ...and I still respect him in his own buisness and as a person...but greyhound racing in my opinion he has been a total failure...he is like rubus hagrid he wears blinkers...and he is supported by the worst lp rep in my opinion that has done nothing for us...at least John Mac made a difference.....now LPs have no say....wow we have gone forward...again and I will keep brining it up what since they employed a marketing person ..what has she done.....now under Craig's request we cannot talk to board members we as LPS need to talk to grnz staff.......hold on we elected board members so they are the ones we should demand answers.. freightman, Jabba2, jasonmccook1 and 3 others 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
