Rules For Some 163 Report post Posted July 29, 2018 On 7/28/2018 at 10:29 AM, Jape said: I do not know if Rules For Some has read the very comprehensive report on the JCA website concerning the eligibility of Pinny Mack under the heading Non Race Day Hearings. If not, I recommend it, if only to demonstrate that the comment that "this is a failure of the JCA system" is incorrect. The finding is summed up quite succinctly in these words: Policy and rules together confirm that eligibility is dependent on registration in NZ. Pinny Mack was registered in NZ on 15 June 2018. We therefore rule that Pinny Mack is eligible to compete in the Amazing Chase. That one disagrees with this finding is not grounds for stating that "this is a failure of the JCA system". So answer me this please. IF the dog was eligible to race in NZ at that date, Could the connections line it up in a race?

Look it seems hard for you guys to apprehend....but the dog was never nominated for a race or trial and never would have been if he had not requalified.....the point is was he eligible to race in nz......yes he was subject to requalifying....clear and simple Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could compete in a COMPETITIVE race? Ill just leave the definition given by the NZGRA of what a race in NZ is: "Race means the competitive pursuit of a Lure by two (2) or more Greyhounds in a Greyhound race and includes a Heat, Consolation Race, Semi-Final or Final." Pretty sure being stood down and unqualified means he could not compete in a competitive pursuit of a lure with more than 2 dogs in an OFFICIAL race. Or am I mistaken? Geez if this was anyone else, youd be on the phone to every stipe in the North Island gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridiculous 14 Report post Posted August 1, 2018 The way I read it the dog was simply not eligible. That the JCA interpreted the rules only raises more questions I'm afraid.

Apprehend is to capture, seize, arrest, catch Comprehend is to understand, grasp mentally, grasp the meaning of Do we comprehend ? It seems the JCA didn't either. gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
