    • Was it this one Chief ? The young lass Gemma Sliz had a race fall injury soon after her big win it seems. I hope she repaired ok . Is she the apprentice  for your quiz  ?    Sliz, who rode Upsetthym to victory in the group one $350,000 Auckland Cup (3200m) at Ellerslie on January 1, said she was "very, very sore" but was confident she would ride again. "I'm okay to ride again. It's just going to be a long time." Sliz, who is apprenticed to Upsetthym's trainer, Karen Fursdon, at Matamata, said she could recall the fall and felt her mount panicked when getting into tight quarters.
    • Well the discussion came about because a friend had just got back from the Caulfield Cup.  He backed the winner and then asked where was Janie Kah?!!! He then asked what was the breeding of the winner and we uncovered the NZ connection. The same guy was the proud owner of an Auckland Cup winner ridden by an apprentice.
    • Wonder if Micheal trains any gallopers these days, remember he won a race with Moremaire, couple years back at Reefton, former Pike trained runner, has had a few winners on the thoroughbred code.
    • No, mainly my ailing memory though I did have to look up his race record to establish what race he actually won.
    • My guess is he/she is anti-greyhound racing. NSW report hasn't been released as it is currently not high on the agenda for them - Media release - GWIC issues clarification of greyhound mortality data.pdf The Greyhound Welfare & Integrity Commission (GWIC) has today issued an official clarification to address  recent public commentary made in relation to data contained in its Greyhound Lifecycle Report. As part of its commitment to transparent reporting, the Commission’s Greyhound Lifecycle Report clearly  details mortalities of registered greyhounds across both racing and non-racing contexts.  The data includes mortalities brought about by illness, age, accident, natural causes and humane  euthanasia.  Contrary to claims, GWIC’s verified data demonstrates the NSW greyhound racing industry has  significantly elevated greyhound welfare outcomes.  The Commission’s official figures show euthanasia and sudden death rates on New South Wales  greyhound tracks have reduced by more than 87% since 2017/18, with a decline from 1.4 per 1000 starts  to 0.15 per 1000 starts.  Further to this, the rate of injuries requiring euthanasia at the track or resulting in sudden death has  declined by 29% over the past financial year following on from the 68% reduction seen in 2023/24.   Of the mortalities which the Commission reported in 2024/25 as having occurred off track due to injury and  accident, 90% were unrelated to racing.   The Commission wishes to clarify that across the 1,269 race meetings staged in the 2024/25 financial year,  which involved 103,641 starters, there were:  • Two sudden deaths which occurred at a race meeting.  • Fourteen greyhounds were humanely euthanised at the track following injury.  • Forty-five greyhounds were reported as euthanised or deceased off-track following injury.  In addition, the Commission has confirmed publicly made claims of a 79% increase in track-related  mortalities are inaccurate.  New reporting standards adopted by the Commission this financial year, facilitated by the world-leading  eTrac database, systematically and more reliably identify track-related mortalities that are linked to injuries.   As this is an enhanced reporting methodology, previously published data cannot be compared to the new  figures.   The Commission continues to publish comprehensive data to promote transparency and evidence-based  discussion on greyhound welfare and racing integrity.  GWIC remains committed to monitoring trends in injury and mortality and to working with industry  participants to improve outcomes for greyhounds in New South Wales.
