    • Seems at least one GRNZ board member approves of my "shyte".
    • High injury rates compared to the KPI GRNZ that they set for themselves. After last season, they even widened the goal posts to make their KPI more achievable 22/23 6.36/1000 23/24 6.57/1000     24/25 First Quarter data as released by GRNZ. 7.93/1000, excluding the 3 additional injuries in the foot-footnotes (for the first time in reporting to the Govt)     I've compared the current GRNZ defined "Season" (Aug 01 to 31 July) previous & after the date the Govt made its announcement. I didn't choose either of those dates. If you want to pretend there are not excess injuries, even though GRNZ's compares injuries to their own KPI, then you can do that. That does not discredit information I provide.

    • Long time reader, first time poster here. It appears to me the real issue as always is Money in this case gambling revenue. The TAB/Entain is keeping quiet as they want the Geo Block to increase margins and hence profit As Winston has given all of the gaming duty back to the industry, The Govt now finds itself in a position of potential online casino gambling, providing a revenue stream much greater than racing, with 15 online casino licenses to be handed out, and the Govt to get the gaming duty plus GST from these (they only get GST from TAB/Entain)by closing Greyhounds down, at the same time as turbo charging online casinos and there legitimacy via a license regime not to mention allowing casinos to advertise, the Govt stands to win from a change of gambling habits mainly in the younger set from Race betting to casino gambling. Thus the Greyhounds are the first casualty, the other codes will be in a world of pain once the Winston years are over, as they will find it very hard to compete for the gambling dollar against 15 online casinos which will be providing the Govt of the day with much more revenue than Racing.
