Unless you have been to the races with family from a young age I think a day at the races as a form of entertainment can be a foreign idea. Social event usually means going as a group, and generally consuming alcohol. Clubs really must be responsible hosts and ensure food is available. This is where the race day packages are a good idea. I think all of these packages should include food. If they are sold a fair way out it gives the customer time to budget for drink, food and betting. I think all race day packages should include betting element of some kind ... punters club, easy bets, or betting vouchers. I think a host or racing personality should be assigned to each group to explain racing jargon and bet types. A lot about racing is confusing. You won't get repeat custom without a good experience. -

Remember the focus on the whip rules when first applying to amateur riders whereby they cannot take their hands off the reins when slapping them on the shoulder. -

And they are being bred here yet, NZ greyhounds are being desexed before being passed on. Some of them would have a bit of age on them when they perform that surgery too. -

It's great, isn't it. Politicians vote on closing an industry down without a thought of any consequences. I wouldn't know who is doing the work. I think there are still some in denial and hoping it won't happen. -

I think the rehoming places are already quite full, not sure if some dogs are still going to America as pets, and wondered if anyone had any idea about how many are finding new homes at the moment. The Christmas Parades would have been a likely place to offload some, I would have thought. Showcase what sort of pets they make, hand out pamphlets and spend time chatting to potential buyers. Not quite the puppy in a basket as a Christmas present but, still a novel gift. Santa's Little Helper made it into a few storylines with Bart Simpson. Surely the ideal would be to have the greyhound adoption facilities empty when the racing stops. These places can't be expecting to stay open much after industry ceases. There must be a date when any remaining greyhounds are put to sleep.
