Could have just manipulated the distance of the event to achieve that. -
fair enough. I didn't see him that way. I always thought he was approachable and more in touch with the cross section of harness racing participants that make up the industry.. Far more so than what i see is happening currently,in my opinion. I had thought he had said whip use may be fazed out in time but supported the whip being used only 10 times in the last 400m. He gave the impression he fully supported efforts to stop anyone,no matter how high profile,using performance enhancers.He deserved much credit for wanting honesty.Shame the trainers all got tipped off before the police raids regarding the blue magic.Thats another story,but its pathetic when people criticised officials for keeping things close to their chest when the inca raids happended. I always found his move to head of greyhound racing was so ironic. Quite sensibly,while at hrnz he was consistent about animal welfare and the need for the industry to have an appreciation of the publics perceptions as regards that. Then ,there he was a couple of years ago,taking up the job as head at nz greyhound,leading an industry which i thought he should have recognised already appeared to have sealed their own fate through endless bad story after bad story around animal welfare. the irony is,the man who clearly cared about animal welfare,is now downplaying animal welfare concerns in the industry he leads.He must have known that all the really bad animal welfare stories from the greyhound industry originated from the people who still dominate the sport. And he must have known about the stats around other factors like injuriies. Anyways,theres an irony there. i wonder if he had thought about it. Just as theres an irony to point out that the racing indyustry he lead,has similar animal welfare issues,because he woould know,because he used to head up HRNZ. . Hes arguing he can clean up the greyhound industry.When he points to the harness industry as being proof they still have animal welfare issues,then doesn't he realise,it surely would be fair to ask,well if you didn't fix that when you were there,so why would anyone expect you to do any better at the greyhounds. -
They want a race that is the richest of its type. Not much promotional mileage in a race that is worth almost 20% as much as the Everest. -
For the Kiwi horses. The Aussies are much better than second stringers.
