so the nsw minister for gaming and racing has just released a range of measures and requirements to address concerns raised in the drake report. poeple should read the drake report findings. Its now available for reading just some of the key recommendations from the drake report included a cap on the number of greyhounds bred in nsw to levels that allow greyhounds numbers being bred to come closer into line with numbers that can be adopted. the changing of the definition of rehoming...In other words,rehomed onto a couch,not kennelling. ending exports to the usa. lots about track safety and reporting of injuries. anyways,lots,lots more in there. Now at this point it seems unclear of the specifics of how far the nsw government has gone to implement drakes recommendations. i haven't had time to read the full rteport just yet,but from what i have read,it sets out the way the industry can continue into the future over there. if greyhound new zealand was to adapt all the recommendations in that report then they would snuff out a major oart of the anti greyhound racings ammunition. why don't they try and buy a bit more time from the nz government,on the understanding that they would be willing to do so. remember this is an election year so they need to use any lever they can pull to hang in there. personally i think part of new zealands problem is greyhound people think too much about trying to retain whats best for themselves,not whats best for the nz greyhound industry long term. Greyhound people aren't alone in putting their self interests first,it applies in all the racing codes in nz and to people in general.But theres always a cost to be paid in the end for that type of thinking. maybe its all too late and people within new zealand greyhound racing industry don't want to change anyway,as theres things in there they happens in new zealand which people could have changed already,but they chose not to. But personally i think had new zealand been using something like the drake report as a blueprint for how they operate,they wouldn't be where they are today. one thing i personally have found sad about the greyhound industry is what some submitted in the nsw hearings,were the number of greyhounds who were never going to be suitable for rehoming.It seemed to vary based on who was saying what,but it was very significant either way and that is going to be one of the saddest things about what will happen to the greyhounds who are around today in nz. -
You don't make excuses for those trialling in their wake in NZ ,so why are you always looking for an excuse when they don't meet expectations? Any fan boys have to be realistic at some point. Happy for them. -

Ricky Ludwig has never been out of Australia – not even for a holiday. But this week, the 72-year-old from Far North Queensland will venture to Hong Kong to witness first-hand if another chapter will be added to the remarkable story of his former galloper, Tomodachi Kokoroe. “I watch him on TV when he’s racing,” Ludwig said. “The horse has come a long way.” Ludwig will complete the same journey as Tomodachi Kokoroe – from the small rural town of Tolga to Sha Tin racecourse, where the David...View the full article -

A son of Walk In The Park sold for a session-topping €100,000 during the first day of the Goffs December NH Sale on Monday. Sold as lot 37, the bay son of Annie G (Getaway) was purchased by Gerry Aherne from Ballincurrig House Stud. His listed hurdle-winning dam is a half-sister to multiple graded-winning chaser Westerner Point (Westerner). Yorton picked up a son of Doctor Dino and Daring Rose (Al Namix) for €90,000 later in the day. Consigned by Yeo Barton Bloodstock, lot 181 is related to stakes winners Guerrier Rose (Rail Link) and Histoire Rose (Saddex). The highest-priced filly was a daughter of Jukebox Jury at €52,000 who went the way of Gerry Hogan Bloodstock from the Mountain View Stud draft. Lot 196 is out of Dinaria Des Obeaux (Saddler Maker), who is a multiple graded winner in the NH sphere and also third in the G1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle.

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk Jacob Dunn looks like the one to follow at Manawatu today. The Auckland-based junior driver has seven drives on the eight-race programme. All look set to be well supported, headlined by hot favourite Twista in the Osborne Group Chartered Accountant Wairarapa Cup (6.47pm). “It’s a great book of drives … I’d say Twista is the best of mine.” His last start was a 10th in the Thames Country Cup at Cambridge nearly a month ago. “This is a big drop back and he had no favours last start when he was three wide the trip.” A six-race winner, Twista is currently at $1.90. Four of his runners, including Twista, are for the premiership leaders Stonewall Stud and co-trainers Steve and Amanda Telfer. Still in his first year of driving Dunn has 16 wins in 2025, half of which have come with Telfer-trained horses. “They have been a big help and been so great to me.” The Telfers have 164 wins for the year, just four shy of Roy and Barry Purdon’s record haul of 168 set in 1993-94. “We have talked about it a bit and hopefully we can get closer to the tally today.” Among his better chances in the blue and white checkers is SS Guppy ($3.50) in Race 1. “He’s a wee bit funny in his gait but he found the line well last start and as long as he gets the track looks a great chance.” Then there’s the likes of Cyamate in Race 5 – “He’s been racing good and comes up with a nice draw.” His first experience of driving at Manawatu was the two-day meeting there during NZ Cup week on November 10 and 13. “It’s good I’m going in there with a bit of experience because it’s a lot different from driving at Cambridge and Auckland.” “At Palmy you want to be on speed and we should be handy enough.” His other two drives are Lincoln Downs ($5.50) in Race 3 for Ray Green and Nathan Delany and Matai Harry for Michael House ($2.40) in the last. Both have second row draws. “This a drop back for her (Lincoln Downs), she’s been racing some nice 2YOs … with luck she looks a top three chance.” “He (Matai Harry) drops out of Addington racing … just another chance in a great book of drives.” Jacob Dunn’s Drives : R1 SS Guppy ($2.05) R3 Lincoln Downs ($5.50) R4 Princess Lisa ($2.20) R5 Cyamate ($3) R6 Elizabeth Hill ($6.50) R7 Twista ($1.90) R8 Matai Harry ($2.35) Racing starts at 4.17pm View the full article
