Well the discussion came about because a friend had just got back from the Caulfield Cup. He backed the winner and then asked where was Janie Kah?!!! He then asked what was the breeding of the winner and we uncovered the NZ connection. The same guy was the proud owner of an Auckland Cup winner ridden by an apprentice. -
Wonder if Micheal trains any gallopers these days, remember he won a race with Moremaire, couple years back at Reefton, former Pike trained runner, has had a few winners on the thoroughbred code. -
No, mainly my ailing memory though I did have to look up his race record to establish what race he actually won. -

My guess is he/she is anti-greyhound racing. NSW report hasn't been released as it is currently not high on the agenda for them - Media release - GWIC issues clarification of greyhound mortality data.pdf The Greyhound Welfare & Integrity Commission (GWIC) has today issued an official clarification to address recent public commentary made in relation to data contained in its Greyhound Lifecycle Report. As part of its commitment to transparent reporting, the Commission’s Greyhound Lifecycle Report clearly details mortalities of registered greyhounds across both racing and non-racing contexts. The data includes mortalities brought about by illness, age, accident, natural causes and humane euthanasia. Contrary to claims, GWIC’s verified data demonstrates the NSW greyhound racing industry has significantly elevated greyhound welfare outcomes. The Commission’s official figures show euthanasia and sudden death rates on New South Wales greyhound tracks have reduced by more than 87% since 2017/18, with a decline from 1.4 per 1000 starts to 0.15 per 1000 starts. Further to this, the rate of injuries requiring euthanasia at the track or resulting in sudden death has declined by 29% over the past financial year following on from the 68% reduction seen in 2023/24. Of the mortalities which the Commission reported in 2024/25 as having occurred off track due to injury and accident, 90% were unrelated to racing. The Commission wishes to clarify that across the 1,269 race meetings staged in the 2024/25 financial year, which involved 103,641 starters, there were: • Two sudden deaths which occurred at a race meeting. • Fourteen greyhounds were humanely euthanised at the track following injury. • Forty-five greyhounds were reported as euthanised or deceased off-track following injury. In addition, the Commission has confirmed publicly made claims of a 79% increase in track-related mortalities are inaccurate. New reporting standards adopted by the Commission this financial year, facilitated by the world-leading eTrac database, systematically and more reliably identify track-related mortalities that are linked to injuries. As this is an enhanced reporting methodology, previously published data cannot be compared to the new figures. The Commission continues to publish comprehensive data to promote transparency and evidence-based discussion on greyhound welfare and racing integrity. GWIC remains committed to monitoring trends in injury and mortality and to working with industry participants to improve outcomes for greyhounds in New South Wales. -

Group 1-winner Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit) has been ruled out of Saturday’s Cox Plate. Racing Victoria stewards confirmed on Thursday morning that the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained galloper had been withdrawn on vet’s advice. “The horse was found to be lame in its off fore upon inspection by RV veterinarians this morning,” RV stewards tweeted. Speaking on SEN’s Giddy Up with Gareth Hall, Price backed the decision of RV’s vets. “I know the horse. We weren’t happy Saturday morning. We have done everything to get him through,” Price said. “That horse, definitely, was not right. He was not right for two reasons. One on the trot up. I know RV vets have called it, but there was absolutely no disagreement from myself. “That horse was not 100 per cent. Whilst it is disappointing for the owners .. the other side of that, you could multiply that disappointment by about 50 if you were to run that horse, see him go no good in the Cox Plate and exasperate a small injury. “It’s the correct decision. I was glad the decision was made. Absolutely the horse should not run.” Price said Globe had shown signs of cardiac arrythmia as well. View the full article
