If it is within the rules then they never seem to use it. In my opinion it just reflects the nz approach that some names are considered special. Why bring a rule in if it meant a high achiever would be effected. They are much tougher in Australia where stand downs have been the norm for those who have faced serious charges. But of course there are more crooks and mores participants so they don't place much emphasis on transgressors achievements when dealing with them.

Lowdown 299 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 This is what happens when money, greed, and 'professionalism' hijack a hobbie sport. These 'professional's' will ruin it for the hobbie trainers. I can't see a way forward with this industry at a pro level, maybe we just need to go back to racing for the love of the game and a ribbon...then the right people will stay in and the greedy undesirables will not! iteruka, gary1 and MiniJax 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Poodle 26 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 6 hours ago, what a post said: If it is within the rules then they never seem to use it. Seems to be well within the rules.... 5.1 The Board shall have the following Powers in relation to these Rules: (f) To disqualify either permanently or temporarily any Greyhound which, in the opinion (belief - assumption - feeling - impression - point if view - speculation) of the Board, has been used for, or in connection with an Offence, or which has been entered or Nominated to run, or allowed to run in a Race or Satisfactory Trial under a fraudulent description, or failed to pursue the Lure during the Race or Satisfactory Trial provided that this power may not be exercised to change the placings. An Owner or Trainer of a Greyhound may seek a review, by a Judicial Committee, of any decision made under this Rule in accordance with Rule 66.2.

Were nuts actually loosened, or was there a reason page 33 of the welfare code was added shortly after? There was also an advisory posted on the website to say there was now a policy on vehicle maintenance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a rule and actually using that rule are 2 different things. Can you point to any trainers who have ever been stood down in any code before. I cant remember any. you would think if it ever was to apply then it would be in the current situation. also interesting how none of the professional trainers who post on this site have made comments regarding this issue, wonder why that is,given the allegations have been circulating for months. What does that tell you. will also be interesting what action the minister of racing takes. Lets hope he is pro active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundlover 24 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 Wheel nuts were loosened three times and two seperate trainers and there employees are lucky to be alive. Greyhound trainers have lied on tv before. I believe that this is no different. media shows what they want to and it happens regularly that they don’t always have all the facts. Let’s just see the end result before jumping to conclusions. aquaman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 I dont think most of u people actually understand the severity of the situation. It doesnt matter what u or i think (at this point anyone actually suggesting it wasnt going on is delusional). Its what the public perceive the issue to be. Could be dark times ahead for the industry if the biggest trainer in the country is found guilty of these charges. anyone who is on here defending him is making the situation that much worse.
