Has GRNZ ended the importation of racing dogs and/or pups from Australia? Has new Govt legislation been passed banning importation? I haven't seen any notice to suggest that either have done so. GRNZ - If welfare unpins everything you do, then there's no excuse for allowing the importation of even more dogs at this point, compounding the rehoming problem. It might even pay to export any Australian owned dogs back to their owners, greatly easing the upcoming rehoming nightmare. If they don't, they'll eventually be flying even more dogs to the USA for rehoming. -

This is a stupid conversation. Why are you blaming the south island trainers? You all need to go and sit in on some of these meetings. You have no idea. If NZTR are not programming suitable races what is the point trialling to be all dressed up with nowhere to go. Just like Kevin Stott said about jockeys not being listened to, do you think the trainers fare any better? Every group of administrators that come along are more stupid and more ignorant and arrogant than the last. Freda keeps pointing out the disconnect. -
It was careless riding on a horse that was the winner a long way from the finish line. The old rules would have seen Grail Seeker relegated to 3rd. The jockey got off lightly, the connections of the 3rd horse got hit hard, but I would rather have the current rules. Bottom line, if it were a 30K r65 or 40K r75 nobody would care. -

The punishment was harsh and he looked hard done by to me. When was the last time a jockey was fined $4K here? -
Trainers do not rock the boat. They do get pissed off but have to work gently to get any traction. Think of it as if you were working for a company/corporation, how long would you last if you were continually saying 'the strategic overview and tactics are beyond flawed. Owners heavily invested in the industry work with their trainers to maximise opportunity based on this seasons calendar. That then leaves us with who? to challenge the muppets, appointed by past muppets, who produce the calendar.
