Note this is paid to every dog regardless of whether they win prize money. Currently every trainer receives $40 for the 1st dog and $20 for all others. jasonmccook1 and Gary Sharp 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryagain 74 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 What happened to our $40 , then reduced to $20 allowance..?? Then reduced and altered again, What Happened to the "Tier two" racing that catered for the dogs that G.A.P. cannot cope with..??? It's called Bigtime Racing N.Z. and the Bigtime owner that's the Head of operations... It's a farce!!!, and if not addressed will before too long, kill off the passion behind the real people that Love our Dogs, That love to race .. and the dogs that hope they will be rehomed..... Where was the new lady employed for "Head of animal Welfare" today when at Wanganui all dogs were kept in conditions against the associations ruling of maximum times to be kenelled?. Is she even aware of the rule that governs this. Jabba2, Lowdown, come on ref and 3 others 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have got to love the tall poppy syndrome of some people on here, quite sad honestly... they breed quality dogs and have quality brood bitch's which didn't happen overnight... just compare them to JMac's low quality breeding regime he's got going on, and in far greater numbers.

Lowdown 299 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Either way Cole's dominance is making C.D racing suck, that's my current feeling as a punter/casual observer. Just saying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying. Why as a punter does it suck? Without Cole in the C.D the quality is shocking... their dogs are consistent as well, makes for good punting IMO. tonkatime and alltheway!!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Maybe if people stopped breeding from weak low grade sprinters and middle dis dogs, the big time kennels wouldn't be dominating like they are? Hes breeding from quality bitches (who he is putting to top quality stud dogs) and is being rewarded for it. I may not agree with his methods but hes certainly getting the job done. Rozo was right about breeding in NZ the other day. People need to step their game up. BackPoonDrinkGoon 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozo was right about breeding in NZ the other day. People need to step their game up. So what are their percentages. Definitely dominating the lower grades but what are their percentages. Have say 15 or 20 higher grade dogs out of the say 300 pups born. What about the other 50%. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 20 pups out of 300 = 15%. Do you mean, what about the other 85%?. modest mouse 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSUN 100 Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Back to the original topic. What do some of the Trainers out there think. Throughout NZ the horse codes regularly have races with smaller fields than us but pay prize money to the 1st 5 places with travelling/appearance payments on top. Australian greyhounds are paying it but we get a lousy $20 for 5th and 6th only. I believe this decision was based on the huge amounts paid to 2 to 3 trainers with an unbelievable number of starters each year. What about all the others struggling to make a living or just cover costs. come on ref, modest mouse, alltheway!!! and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie 165 Report post Posted June 15, 2017 I think that this issue does need re addressing..I certainly miss the petrol vouchers if only to help keep the dogs I have in retirement. I play by the rules to the best of my capabilities but without my pension I would have been gone long ago. I don't mind getting beat fair and square either but in all honesty compared with todays costs versus what stake money is paid out ..It just doesn't balance up!! Maybe a cap on the number of dogs per trainer per meeting that get a token allowance could help a little?....Clarkie How are your Banjo pups coming along Gordy?

They may be breeding dogs better than Mac but does it really matter as they are really only good enough to race in nz the odd one may be able to win in Australia remember there still buying dogs to race in nz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
