Hmmm.

Hey blind Steward - you missed something. BIG TIME WALTER (4) - referred to the Veterinarian after falling at the lure and cleared of injury. Hey blind steward.mp4 https://youtu.be/zPn4A-02lEA

And if the source isn't YouTube, what then?

Johnny Football keeps his spot. That prediction failed.

Tomorrow is the biggest day of the year for greyhound racing in Auckland. Silver Collar: let's have the lure within the 4m to 10m threshold ahead of the leading dog this year, unlike last year. Waterloo Cup: My prediction - expect some reason for this dog to have to be scratched and for this dog to fill the #4 box. Space Boy hasn't been drawn into any other races on the day (like the Peter Earley Classic) so it's probably already a done deal. Race fixing predicted, if it does occur. And no - it hasn't happened before my post.

General: The Stewards have obtained the autopsy report from Massey University for the greyhound RAPIDO SCUD, who collapsed at the lure and was subsequently pronounced dead at the Wanganui GRC meeting on May 24, 2024. The report's findings were unable to determine a definitive cause of death. The RIB is happy to confirm they have nothing further to investigate here. They got the exact report from Massey that they were hoping for, just like all the other reports of dogs that drop dead on the track from the same kennel.

I agree. The Steward has no idea how to read a race, therefore unable to enforce the rules as they are written. Also, the Steward was derelict in their duty by not requiring a vet check after the race for at least the #7 dog, after the aftermath of the marring, turned the dog sideways on the track.

You have just qualified to become a Steward for the greyhound code. You were unable to detect the #1 dog mar the #7 dog during three consecutive strides. #1 #2 Look at both dog's heads in the frame after the head/muzzle contact. #3 And again, look at the two dog's heads in the very next frame. In the aftermath, now that the #1 has slowed down & put the #7 off balance next frame What's even worse, neither of those two dogs were sent for a vet check after the race. After all of that contact it should be more than enough to trigger a vet check. The official results of the race wouldn't change, but the #1's actions clearly broke the rules & should have been charged for marring.

Blind "Senior Steward" today.

My claim is that race fixing is going on. It's reoccurring and predictable yet completely ignored by the RIB. Your "But" statement doesn't address that.

Nominate 6 dogs. Wait till the field is drawn. See that the race has been carded & your 6 are all the entrants. Scratch two of them, as there's no sense in risking their injury for the $50 for 5th or 6th place purse. Just pocket the $3800 & let the RIB ignore that it's a recuring event from the kennel.

Three different things going on here, so don't get confused Chief. Why's it always the same kennel? #1 Unpunished. #2 Have you ever seen anything like this happen during the running of a race? Stewards were blind to it, even though it was a $30k race, and they didn't even bother looking at what was left on the track, before the tractor did its grooming thing. #3 I can only recall one kennel ever to have a dog drop dead while still on the track, usually at the lure. Off the top of my head this would probably be the 5th or 6th time for this kennel. Must be very unlucky for dogs to be in that kennel, right? Other trainer's dogs don't drop dead on the track. 24/5/2024 Where's the follow up RIB? You know, the one that will say that the autopsy revealed it had a heart attack or something like that, then you can wash your hands of it & not bother questioning yourselves why it is ALWAYS the same kennel that it happens to.

One of your dogs this time team Steele. Where's the safety rail?

Look at the replay I had first provided & tell me at what point the dog was injured during the race. You won't be able to because an injury never occurred. If a Steward is going to press an FTP charge, it gets a post-race vet check regardless of whether it appeared it could have been injured or not. There was a collusion between the trainer & the vet. The trainer simply told what was required from the vet and they obliged. These types of collusions have been going on for years and still exist today, as I've highlighted on another thread with dogs getting nominated only to be scratched the day before race day.

Years later here's proof Yankiwi does know what he is talking about. Archie John Hill's racing record below. The date of imaginary injury he supposedly sustained is highlighted at the very bottom in his 2nd race day start. This dog had a racing career that lasted over several years, totaling 88 starts, collecting over $68k in purse money, after (supposedly) tearing a tendon in its second race day start. After the "torn tendon" race he had 1 marring charge in his 6th start. If you believe what the RIB reports & what the Vet hands down for injuries, you're crazy. Yet I'm usually the one who gets ridiculed for pointing it out when it's happening.

Last Friday - Wanganui. Pay table for a C5 sprint. It's not a coincidence that only 6 started.

Call it what you like. I suggest Sally & Bernie were nominated for the race with the trainer having no intentions of having those two actually starting the race. Similar things happen at just about every race meeting in the CD. Always the same kennel doing that race fixing. The top 4 finishers receive nearly all the stake money from the race. That's why the kennel only started four of their six entrants. Race fixing.

That wasn't my claim. That is your claim. I claimed the code has no integrity & the judge should be held to account.

Where is the blue race rug compared to the pink one? Did the #8 suddenly grow its neck or muzzle longer?

Race Fixing. Sally Hadn't raced since 22 Dec 23 Trialed 23 Apr Nominated for this race (had to be healthy then right?) Needed to be scratched the day prior to race day with a 5-day injury. Bernie Hadn't raced since 16 Apr Nominated for this race (had to be healthy then right?) Needed to be scratched the day prior to race day with a 10-day injury.

Not even close.

Yet another you can't make this shit up moment. There was a delay to the payment of dividends for this race due to a photo finish malfunction in determining the third and fourth placings. Due to the malfunction the judge declared a dead heat for third placing based on the Stewards video footage and his own observations. Every part visible of the #4 is ahead of the #8. If it was even close to a dead heat, you'd be able to see the #4's ears in the image. That judge needs to be put before a jury! On top of that, it was race fixing in one of the most important heat races of the year! Greyhound racing is truly an industry without integrity.

The 4th quarter thus far at Addington isn't looking pretty. However, GRNZ thinks it's good enough to keep racing on until 24 June. https://www.grnz.co.nz/News/3202/Addington-Track-Remediation-Work-JuneJuly

Hey Malcolm, Did you have a disagreement with Kingston? If so, he's already shown me his true colours so I've got no time for him either. If you need any advice/assistance in the eventual defense of this matter, feel free to reach out to me via DM here.

I'm happy to see you got my memo GRNZ/RIB. It's about time you started recording these injured dogs as injured. Well done.
