i was reading an interesting article on stuff written by loyd burr about the greyhound industry last month. that may interest some if they haven't already read it. it is going to be very,very sad in so many ways,wether people agree with the decison to stop racing or not. They only have 4 months left to race. sounds like the government will still need to heavily subsidise the greyhounds and their people for caring for thier dogs. But so they should.Calls for other compensation does sound reasonable,but may come to nothing. i guess whatever happens it would be depressing seeing your lifes work taken away from you. -
Race 1 - Wanganui - won by Robbie's horse Ronaldo Post race Bevan Sweeney said something about the Patterson horse having a brain & being pressured a little bit(in the race) but how every time he's asked to find something extra - he does it. Reply was something very close to this - best as I can tell: " .... he was pressured - pressured the whole way Sweens - I don't know what Leah Hemi was doing - she must be on another planet with that ride - I'd hate to be the owners of that horse" -
that seems very unlikely given the way HRNZ are running things. for that to happen there would have to be an admission from hrnz that they are over spending and every press release,public comments that come from them tells everyone how well the industry is going and how much confidence they have in their policies to maintain stake levels. so even a suggestion coming from hrnz that there may be a need for future stake cuts would be an admission that they have been painting a false picture of the state of the industry and be an admission they aren't doing a good job. So realistically,we can tell from the rhetoric they use that they are never going to admit that.They've really painted themselves into a corner as far as the messaging about the industry. Thats why,if the wheels do fall off we will see it happen on a scale far bigger than it ever needed to be. we've both predicted the first sign things are turning for the worse will be when those making the decisions at hrnz start abandoning ship and move on to greener pastures. Maybe 18 months- 2 years time.

Disgraceful. So much spin. Starting with the first date mentioned in their timeline being 25 April 2025 - how about we dial that back to 2023 when they started digging it up ....that is the more relevant date for the long suffering CD & particularly Awapuni-based trainers & owners. That makes it over 4 years - and that's IF they make their next projected target of racing @late 2027 Also no mention of how long the track will be out of the commission for horses to work on. It's been the worst kept secret that this has been on the cards for months now - that further major work is required - I guess it's taken that long for NZTR Corporate Communications to craft that crock of .... "think positively" you say CS - clearly you have no skin in this CD racing game..
