Rules For Some 163 Report post Posted June 2, 2021 These have to be two of weakest Silver Collar heats I have seen for a very long time. Would barely get out of bed for this years event Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palliser 746 Report post Posted June 5, 2021 Have to agree, I'm not sure what goals and visions the NZGRA have for greyhound racing ? .. I suspect it doesn't have any happy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniJax 30 Report post Posted June 6, 2021 I think when an Australian trainer travels over it makes it more interesting as dogs are bred for the longer distances. It’s hard for NZ dogs because there isn’t a lot of distance races and dogs are not bred to run long distances, it’s more like a try and see how they go. At least there were two full fields Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniJax 30 Report post Posted June 6, 2021 I don’t think there’s enough dogs to have a distance race every week. Highly unlikely to get a full field and the quality won’t be great. You may find some can’t run out the distance either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sad reality of racing in NZ today MiniJax 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
