Everton 150 Report post Posted May 31, 2020 For years now have noticed that he is obsessed with getting the dogs into the starting boxes, he is forever banging on about it, telling the starter to hurry up etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowdown 299 Report post Posted June 1, 2020 Agreed BH, Pete's a legend. - Aqua Mouse's Silver Collar (feat. Astro Teddy) "Ohhhh god I dont know"... - Auck Cup... "How good are ya Denzil?" - or even some silly ones like when he made the noise of a squirell as Nutty Squirell was winning. Pete's been on the airwaves my entire living memory and will be missed. Enjoy your retirement Mr Earley. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviosuly understands responsibilities with overseas broadcasting. You do realise that Sky Racing has no tolerance for dogs running late or overtime during a busy daytime schedule with gallops running. So NZ dog's vision will either get bumped or not broadcast at all. There really is no excuse for the dog code running over time at the boxes barring a plane overhead at Manukau. Cambridge has a terrible record of running late or idly standing at the boxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flabbergasted 67 Report post Posted June 9, 2020 Clubs have little control over when races start as it's the RIU stewards who give the ok to the starter when to box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Manukau the Judge & sometimes the lure-driver tells the starter when to box. At Cambridge they are told when to box by a set of lights which is controlled by the judge.

jimbob 92 Report post Posted June 10, 2020 Give Peter Earley a break I think it is great when gets them to hurry up, I haven't got time to muck around all day waiting for a race to start when I have a bet on It is not hard to start a dog race on time Racing is now a Roulette wheel, get them running so we can run the next draw Most of the dogs running are cheats, so, it is a numbers game, they get touched and they are going backwards at great knots, half the runners cant keep a straight line 80/20 rule, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob 92 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 Very disappointing Peter Early has been pushed to the scrap heap, to be quite honest the dogs have literally "gone to the dogs" Ive never seen so many cheats racing, how could dogs like Homebush sosan not get put out for not chasing yesterday at addington Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he will be missed, despite his idiosyncrasies he is the voice of greyhounds in the North, and you do wonder why experience is replaced by novices in respect to greyhound knowledge.

Stables 577 Report post Posted June 19, 2020 That is a shame. He has been a great advocate for racing. His programmes on trackside radio were extremely popular and he actively promoted all 3 codes. He will be very hard to replace. Hopefully attitudes may change and it won't be too long before we hear him on the airwaves again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jape 344 Report post Posted June 21, 2020 He will be very much missed. It is a long time since that I first met him in the box at QEII in his Radio Pacific days. Still going strong today. Best wishes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
