lad27 406 Report post Posted June 27, 2023 Right am I the only one here that will state greyhound racing isnt going here and is staying. There are two reasons for my statement. 1 - Labour has pushed what ever they have wanted to in their current term. Really couldn't do it before the election?. That to me = bollocks and a middle finger to the one in green Chloe. Deals had been done. 2 - Entain I highly doubt signed up to a two code deal as I believe we out do harness. Greyhound racing is a huge, fast and good turnover for them and a very exportable code. Lindsay Joyce 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee270744 692 Report post Posted June 28, 2023 I wonder if the people who want to ban Greyhound racing buy goods made in CHINA where they slaughter and eat dogs. They surely wouldn't be hypocrites?

Hi Ho Silver 787 Report post Posted July 1, 2023 Even if Winston Peters gets in I don't think he automatically becomes the Racing Minister. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel 200 Report post Posted July 1, 2023 I don't think any minister of racing will be able to help the greyhound code, and the industry only has itself to blame. Not sure that Winston will get in, nor somehow acquire the racing minister job. He has done some good things over many years, but think he needs to know when to move on. JMO.

Winston is no saviours, and it seems some from within the sport itself would rather jut call anybody that disagrees with them an "anti" instead of actually working to make theor chosen sport safer. That will NOT go down well with those making the decisions going forwards. Palliser 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi Ho Silver 787 Report post Posted July 4, 2023 I find name calling childish and non-productive. Sums up some of the greyhound industry participants. Like someone has said it is hard to help if those within are past helping. Palliser, Lee270744, Gruff and 1 other 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people really don't have a clue and base there decisions carelessly. Truth be know, National didn't want to deal with NZ Firsts main policies at ALL. they would NOT negotiate. And when they did, their response was off, the most highest arrogance.. So they only had one choice Labour. Now the Last election in NZ, NZ first was out. But you 450,000 Centre right NATS voted to KEEP JACINDA What did you say Lindsay ? read above again lol get Winston and Shane back in vote NZ First. you watch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palliser 779 Report post Posted July 23, 2023 Greyhound racing in this country can't rely on who is in government. NZGRA need to pull their socks up, step up, and bloody well lead from the front. They need to be pro-active in every respect, have a bloody vision and goals, and not just react to everything and anything. That is what is needed to save Greyhound racing, not whoever is in power .. they whoever they are have no idea about the industry, in saying that I'm sad to say I can't name anyone currently that is showing leadership.

The improvement in the code has been big over the last 5-10yrs and only getting better. GRNZ is pleased to announce that stakes will be increasing from 14 August 2023. Thanks to the increased distributions from the TAB NZ and Entain strategic partnership, we will be injecting an additional $2 million into stakes next season. The effect of this is that the prizemoney for every single race will increase by $400. Following GRNZ Board discussions, it has been decided that in every race: 1st will receive an extra $240 2nd will receive an extra $100 3rd will receive an extra $60 We have decided to distribute this across all classes of races, so that as many participants as possible will benefit from the increase, especially given the rising costs of living. Over the next two months, we will also explore other promotional initiatives with TAB NZ and Entain, and will keep you updated on any further positive developments in this area.
