    • The whole AWT fiasco was all about centralisation and the desire to close down several tracks. It had nothing to do with providing a winter racing venue. It has proven to be an expensive and frustrating exercise at the provincial Yaldhurst track.
    • Timaru seems to be booming as a training centre, despite being the area that has lost the most meetings over the years with the demise of Geraldine and Waimate, and the downgrading of Oamaru and Timaru. Southland seems to be going well with some enthusiastic trainers coming through.  Otago seems to be the region struggling the most, although largely Wingatui, as there are successful trainers at Waikouaiti and Omakau. Obviously Nelson, Marlborough and the West Coast hardly exist as training centres anymore.
    • Gee, so my adviser was not correct.
    • That's not what the programming committee is supposed to be doing and have agreed to adhere to. For programming purposes, the pattern is supposed to divide the SI in half with the Waitaki river as the divider. This is from their minutes: PROGRAMMING PRINCIPLES: It was agreed that the following principles which were established in May 2012, then updated in August, December 2017, August 2020, and May 2024 be adhered to. ... A pattern was prepared for each ‘half of the island’ – north of and south of the Waitaki River. Programmes were determined and confirmed in date order. Certain types of races must be programmed as ‘one island’ (Open Handicap Races, and age group) and others as ‘half Island’ races. This creates some clashes when the two ‘half island’ charts are merged.
    • Why is headquarters/board claiming this in their Oct 24 report to Govt? https://www.grnz.co.nz/Files/Quarterly Reports/GRNZ October 2024 Quarterly Report.pdf     Since GRNZ is confident that "missing" dogs are no longer an issue, did Adina Bale complete her twice yearly check in during the last round? https://www.grnz.co.nz/greyhounds/profiles.aspx?AnimalID=88 At 34 years old now & still registered to race, it's kind of hard to understand how GRNZ has confidence in their database.
