In the best interest for the longevity of the code, here's the one that should be up in the tower...

Not very much spreading around of winners purse money. Race 1 - Owned/Raced by: Brendon Cole Race 2 - Owned/Raced by: BBC Syndicate (Brendon Coles initials?) Race 3 - Owned/Raced by: G Sherri Race 4 - Owned/Raced by: Brendon Cole Race 5 - Owned/Raced by: C S Rendle Race 6 - Owned/Raced by: L Cole & C Rendle Race 7 - Owned/Raced by: BBC Syndicate (Brendon Coles initials?) Race 8 - Owned/Raced by: L Cole & C Rendle Race 9 - Owned/Raced by: A Weatherall Race 10 - Owned/Raced by: L Cole & C Rendle Race 11 - Owned/Raced by: L Cole & C Rendle Race 12 - Owned/Raced by: L Cole & C Rendle

I'll throw out this idea for some thought. Instead of trying to think of a fair number for a single trainer being allowed to run in any given race, why not let the trainer fill as many spots in a field that they want/can? I believe there should be a strict limit on how many dogs a OWNER can have in the same race, ideally only one. If an owner owns a dog drawn to a box, then that same owner wouldn't be allowed to either fully or partially own another dog in that same race. If the farmers want to breed hundreds of dogs then let them, but they're going to need buyers for a large portion of those they breed or will have heaps of their own dogs sitting on the sideline waiting for their chance to race. GRNZ should have never added extra races or race meets because people had bred far too many dogs. Dogs should be breed to meet the demand, not races added because of overbreeding. Adding the extra races have only escalated the problem.

Maybe Taylor Swift will sing at the Melbourne Cup this year.

Whether someone should be a boxing a dog is up to GRNZ. They are the licencing authority. If they have done so in a manner which is against GRNZ policies or rules, then the RIU should action the breach. Will that sound stupid to Joy too?

That'll be exactly what's going on. Pre Covid-19 lockdown. The road just outside the track is fully accessible without being "oncourse" and would surely make some interesting viewing.
-
Why is it that the general public can detect such things but the RIU, who are tasked with the job, are unable too? Crops from the first three images I had posted. The little white UFO isn't a snowflake!
-
I believe the TAB updates after 7:30am on the race day. Form guides on the GRNZ website generally seem to be similar. Third world really. Make's it illogical to do the form on a lazy Saturday for the Sunday Fields. I found it less frustrating to just give punting on greyhounds a miss.

Morepork has delivered another beautiful image from Thursday night. GRNZ, it's time for at least one mask.
-
Interesting development in the Covid19 era at the 2:35 mark. Apparently masks should be required on all handlers at greyhound race meets. Full video...

Undoubtedly the #2 did have a go. Top dog should start looking for a property in Taupo. Evidence is continuing to form that all trainers are no being treated equally, not even remotely. He is under the watchful eye of more than just myself. https://www.grnz.co.nz/catch-the-action/13981/stewards-report.aspx 2). Handler J McInereny Jnr was cautioned in regards to what is expected from him in future when handling greyhounds while Covid -19 restrictions are in place. How did Jr breach the safety protocol 8 times last night (as depicted in another thread) and get a mention in the Stewards report? Were the first 7 infraction conveniently missed and only picked up on from his actions the 12th race? Really? Why weren't his actions corrected after the first race, if the crooked top dog wanted to be nice about it?
-
Obviously arm folder doesn't seem to have any regard for the safety protocols. 8 breaches in 12 races.... https://www.grnz.co.nz/Files/May 2020/Addington_Protocols (3).pdf BOXING: 4 LINES OF 2 DOGS Box First Dogs will continue to Box First Four line model for loading: 1 & 5 boxed first, followed by 3 & 7, followed by 2 & 6, followed by 4 & 8. Handlers to leave the starting area as soon as they have loaded their dog. Box lids to be disinfected after the race.

Seems FTP is still being ignored by the RIU. Why's the #9 have a different posture than the rest of the dogs? Because the #9 isn't chasing the lure, it's trying to play with the #6. Yeah I know, dogs will be dogs. The question is when Stewards will become Stewards, especially the new top dog? It doesn't get much more obvious than in this example.

Bullring, Bichon Frise, Rabbit, Brendon, Fellow cheats all in the same photo album. I understand they along with others are due to hit a Palmerston North court room in the near future. I'd like to give a shout out to all the mums and kids that baked and sold their muffins so at least the SPCA can bring this to prostitution. Something that has proven that GRNZ and the RIU simply couldn't handle. Maybe it time to put an oven in the smoko rooms of GRNZ and the RIU's headquarters.
-
Cole's has some advantage because of the state of the art (or is it prehistoric) training facility they have back at home. I can testify to this as I've seen several images of Brendon with some helpers utilizing the bullring located there.

Well I see this complaint from years ago still hasn't gone away. Same training partnership too boot. 62.1 Any person (including an Official) commits an offence if he/she: (z) tampers with any rug, Muzzle or other item used on a Greyhound, or uses any substance or item to affect the performance of a Greyhound or Greyhounds How about it Godber, the complaint was initially sent directly to you. I can't ask Whiterod any longer for known reasons, even though it was he that provided his assurance that the issue would be dealt with and was totally unacceptable. Remember Mikey?

Not sure who the two on the left are or what bubble they might be in, but they surely aren't 2m apart. A different pair make a similar showing during race 2. If this is the way things look on the outside of the track it's no wonder why the camera doesn't go past the winning post and no head-ons are made available.
