Yankiwi

Thank you for the kind words. You are right on target about me. As a whole GRNZ doesn't like me & they became very dismissive when I contact them in an official manner. My words were falling on empty ears. You can't help anyone that doesn't want to be helped. I gave up using that official route for change a few years ago.

Here's a hint for them of the biggest problem in Auckland, if they're too shy to get in touch. All three track are two turn tracks of similar shape. Addington today (3.33% chance of rail contact). Friday in Wanganui (3.74% chance of rail contact). Sunday in Auckland (17.0% chance of rail contact). They can thank me later.

I don't want a response. I want action, for the good of the dogs & the industry. Two around the board room know me personally, hell I've been to their kennels on several occasions. I haven't crossed paths with a third one in there with a coffee cup but have had multiple direct messages on BOAY with them prior to have gained their seat on the board. Those three know who they are. The most dangerous thing reoccurring in Auckland could be rectified if someone in power had my evidence with a couple of phone calls. I've made my offer. The balls in their court. Previously everything else I've had to say got back to them & that's what made your inbox smoke about me Chief. If they want the help, they'll get in touch. If they don't, then they'll figure it out themselves. It only took me watching a couple of replays to narrow in on it. Silver collar Sunday, with the drone footage, sealed my belief.

No. The stats come from me trawling each individual Stewards Report, starting on 13 April until current. I only assign a rail contact when the report states it, not via my personal observations. I have formed my opinion as to why the numbers are so high in Auckland but have not yet revealed them on your forum. I currently believe it's a combination of three differing things, and NO a safety rail will do nothing to correct any of them. I only harp on about the safety rail as GRNZ has clearly publicly stated in the past that it was a measure they were going to undertake to help prevent the issue, yet haven't, which was supposed to be completed eight years ago. I personally know two people currently around the GRNZ board table. Either or both of them is more than welcome to contact me if they'd like to come around, get serious & be provided the information they need to begin fixing the issue. I'd prefer this route. Beyond that, if anyone at GRNZ has balls enough to eat a bit of humble pie & contact me, I'd consider sharing the information I've complied, which is all from publicly available information, except for one tiny bit (a measurement) which I was unable to find publicly and have been privileged too. However, this offer is not extended to Mr. Dore, as in the one official previous correspondence chain I had with him, he acted like a spoiled little brat in a position of power. Therefore, I have absolutely no time for him under any circumstances. They know who I am & will still have my contact details in their records, which haven't changed.

I'm suggesting that at a minimum GRNZ follows through with what they said they were going to do. At least that is something which could produce a positive outcome. If they don't produce a positive outcome, why did they reinstall the safety rail in Wanganui as part of the complete refurbishment? The statistics from the last couple of months have proven that doing nothing hasn't fixed the problem. Funny that.

Chief seems to like proof for everything. https://www.grnz.co.nz/Files/Documents/Final - 2014 AGM Annual Report.pdf

Exactly. Safety rails act as a visual aid more so than physical protection from getting too close near the lure rail. A visual aid can be critical for a sight dog chasing something they are fixated on, especially when the lure rail can come between a dog's sight line and the lure in the corner. The further behind the progression of the lure the dog is, the more likely the rail is directly between them. Akl 17.0% - Seven instances requiring an injury stand-down. Wang 3.7% - Zero instances requiring an injury stand-down. Doing nothing in Auckland & hoping the problem goes away all by itself, is a glaring example of how the sport is actually being run, with words not actions.

Well, these were installed at Wanganui 9 years ago as a trial prior to rolling them out to all the other tracks. Recently Wanganui underwent a complete refurb & they've put them back up in the new configuration. Maybe just maybe GRNZ should turn back the clock 8 or 9 years & get a safety rail up in Auckland, like they said they were going to. Over the last two months, this has been the chance of rail contact during any given race, per track. Auckland = 17.0% (17% of 12 races = 2, which is the number I predicted hours before they happened today). Chch = 3.3% Wang = 3.7% Palm = 4.9% Southland = 2.0% Get why I've been complaining about a problem with ONE track?

I've made no statement on what I want. I've only stated that the words they have used are used against them.

He led when it matters the most. Top run & well-deserved victory for the one dog.

The silver collar has been the protestors race meet of choice for many years now. What I could make from it in the past was the wording used by official coms of the lead up to the race. "Grueling" is one of those words often used, at least in the past, that drew their attention & gave them what they needed to gather support for their cause. Words used this year just adds fuel to their fire. https://www.grnz.co.nz/News/3046/Exciting-field-assembled-for-SENZ-Duke-of-Edinburgh-Silver-Collar-Final- Exhilarating is the only way to describe the engrossing pair of SENZ Duke of Edinburgh Silver Collar heats, which now sets up Sunday’s keenly anticipated $80,000 Final over the extreme 779m distance at the Manukau Stadium

Possibly, if it's 100% fit. Supplementary Report - Auckland GRC 4 June 2023Trainer R Evans advised that GOLDSTAR CARLITO has shown no ill-effects from contacting the rail on Sunday and will continue with its current preparation. Speaking of the rail, five different dogs made contact with it last week in Auckland, with four of those during the heats meeting. If they haven't done anything to fix the ongoing problem & the trend continues, expect two dogs to contact the running rail today which will match the average over the last couple of months.

I haven't harassed anyone. I stated only now proven facts. If anything, Alysha should be the one that is pleased, as no one instead approached the SPCA to investigate a animal cruelty allegation or the police to investigate a assault allegation. Picking up a dog that was not directly threatening her by its neck & throwing it backwards a meter is animal abuse/cruelty, which would be dealt far more severely under crown law as a criminal offence. Shoulder barging someone into a concrete wall is assault, which would also be a criminal offence if heard under crown law.

Looks like what will probably be Alysha's final chapter in the greyhound code isn't far away. Guilty, guilty, guilty. https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/non-raceday-inquiry-written-decision-dated-8-june-2023-alysha-waretini/

Two trainers were on the board at the time. The link below is an archive of the announcement. https://web.archive.org/web/20180128111006/https://www.grnz.co.nz/News.aspx?NewsID=2607

That's what my first reply alluded to, they're asleep. Here's a little tidbit from 6 or 8 years ago. GRNZ had decided to implement a rule against the use of a "squeaker" during the training of a greyhound, even in the confines of their own private kennels. Pups, break ins & dogs that were already going around the track were not allowed to use even a plush toy with a squeaker in it to play/train with. Participants were openly silent during the vetting process but behind the scenes where bitching back & forth between each other. Everyone except GRNZ knew the idea was completely ludicrous. Anyways, the rule was approved by GRNZ & found it's place in the rule book. I don't recall at which point they turned around that crazy decision, but now they have decided to have a squeaker on the lure arm at the track when they are racing for purse money. I'm sure Aquaman will remember and may be willing to add more about that little fiasco.

I'm not surprised at all. Most greyhound participants have a history of simple acceptance. Whatever GRNZ dishes out, participants take. Then after the fact many stress their lives out, stretch their operations to breaking point and once it snaps, disappear from the scene. The ones that do speak out about what they think is fair & right are snipped out of the industry one at a time by the GRNZ rule book.

I see Jason name has popped up on the RIB's website. https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/non-raceday-inquiry-written-decision-dated-24-may-2023-jason-teaz/ I know nothing about the circumstances that brought him there but I'm guessing that some of those in power, within the harness code, took offence to hearing the truth from him. NZ racing rule books, one of the many places in the world where saving the truth isn't a viable defense against a charge designed to silence participants.

Why not? Because it is a list of GRNZ licensed public trainers. Which currently & for at least the next year, she is not.

I could fill you in on what's happened with the Cambridge track, but then Chief would be come barking at me for evidence or proof, which I would be unable to provide since the notification has dropped off GRNZ's home page. Unfortunately, you can't get good information from GRNZ in a timely manner about many things. Things like still suggesting you could approach Thayne Green as a public trainer on their "contacts" page - https://www.grnz.co.nz/trainers/find-public-trainer.aspx Even though they announced he was retiring after a race meeting 11 days ago. https://www.grnz.co.nz/News/3030/Hall-of-Famer-Thayne-Green-retiring-from-training I know, I know, I'm very critical of the manner GRNZ runs the code and calling them out after only 11 days for not correcting their webpage is a bit overboard. However, why is Lisa Waretini still listed on the "contacts" page as well? She's been disqualified for 15 months which started on 11 March 2023 or 2 1/2 months ago. https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/non-raceday-inquiry-written-reserved-decision-dated-23-february-2023-lisa-waretini/

It's interesting you're taking GRNZ/RIB/RIU's word for gospel with the history of coverups & lies after all these years they've been guilty of them. Do you expect them to give you the truth about coverups they are carrying out, like the Cobalt positive above the threshold in the RIB's lab as well and the Australian Lab which were returned in the O'Regan incidence, when they then simply chose to ignore it and pursue the case of a dead rabbit/hare carcass found in their freezer instead while investigating the Cobalt swab? That is the sort of corruption/favouritism I've called out on your forum & you're going to believe what they tell you about it? Quite laughable really. I thought you were a much more cleaver man than that. Nevermind, have it your way. You don't have to worry about getting false flags & gaslighting from industry administrators about me anymore. I will cease posting on your forum & let the industry administrators worry about where I pop up next.

Then why don't you provide the information provided by them which contradicts what I have provided on the forum? Most likely because it's them telling you 1/2 truths or outright lies to try to protect their image. Going forward bring their rebuttal out in the forum & I'll tell you where their little fibs and BS within them are. Even better, encourage GRNZ to create a user account here. They're quite proud of their Facebook account, so why not be equally proud of an account on your forum? Wrong. I have no interest in my wallet being part of the sport going forward.

I still find this comment interesting. Don't industry administrators like what I have to say? Surely, they understand that I relinquished my license & haven't been to a greyhound race in about 8 years. Surely, they will know that I had closed my TAB account and haven't had a punt on the races for over 7 years. Back during the era, when I was using the other toxic racing forum, many of the gripes I aired were my own. I've evolved since then. Now I consider myself two things. A watchdog A mouthpiece for some of those who are still have a vested interest in the industry who are censored from speaking out by the GRNZ rule book about wrongdoings still rife within the code. I bet they wonder how I get the current scoops that I post on BOAY. I will say it comes from many reliable sources. Let them chew on that. I share the truth of what's really going on. If the truth hurts them then it's their problem not mine. The industry administrators should be thankful for what I share on here. I give them a chance to hear some of the things that are on the tip of their LP tongues. I point out what I consider to be their wrong doings, favourtisms & corruption that I have become aware of. Maybe one day they'll find the time to thank me. I didn't go down the route of others before me that were fed up with their bullshit and begin to take the steps to get them shut down.
