Correct

So 2k visa to import a dog into the country - why. So the nz supermarket breeders can earn abit more. The family that breed one litter maybe every 1-2yrs is just about gone as is the small bloke racing 2-6 greys and works full time. Maybe we should be looking in our own back yard before making rash decisions. As that chance to buy a grey from ozz is just about gone for the person wanting to take a chance and have a go. Before anyone has a go at me, seen many dogs for sale or pups for that matter?, excluding punters hq selling up due to this new reactive rule. I know some will agree and some won't but this is my opinion.

Up on grnz now, was up on facebook. Think punters hq boys put a pic of the whiteboard up

They must like him in Auckland ? Race 12 - 04:08 PM - Gavin Whiterod Appreciation Stakes - C4/5 - 527m

Lol I heard that race Bam and I was on Avenger Bale in a multi as well. I was very surprised as well but not as much as Trev ? I'm sure you were grinning from ear to ear ?

Not an iota on grnz website. Think i have found the problem.

Best one was when Trev was telling everyone what a marvellious job the window cleaner does at addington. Then boom the race started ?

I told Newmarket to listen in on Thursday night ?

You better listen on Thursday night then ?

Natures Gent takes out Spion Rose last night and has won NZ Cup as well. Best night on the punt in ages and all were futures bets. $10 place idol hot @ $6 $5 place multi - idol hot @ $6 x diddilee @ $5.50 Just in time for car repair bill which we all love just before xmas.

My trainer told me, if you scratch 28day stand down - full stop - no ifs or buts. That was on the day.

I thought I read on greyhound data they have banned betting. However you can still bet online in other states.

Ironically I didn't get a bet on my dog as today at lunch time I found out Pleasant Point has very average cell phone coverage on the flat as was picking something up from trademe purchase. I got what I went for in the end but no punt punt. Maybe tonight ?

Well my multis crashed and burned tonight. Had Pinny and B.B.B. through but three choices for galaxy all fell over ?. Thats punting, ill move on and have a nudge at otago tomorrow.

Pinny Mac Zipping Archie ( watch replays on grv - impressive ) Dyna Dave

Thoughts on how the Waterloo Cup will pan out this year. My multi is on Too The Nail to place as grabbed futures @ $11 for a tidy return

It's a tri code track, it won't be shutting down

Rain?

Number 4 been needed!

Way he is going, he is the sire of the current generation and years to come. American blood is the key it seams... Seeing grnz have stopped doing frozen it will be a long wait for kiwi breeders. The cost of this lad now is well out of the relm of the person that breeds a litter once every year or two.

Sorry headed off to lunch and forgot to add what happens if no training deal, on top of daily charge keep in mind: travel costs trial costs worming costs council registration costs vet bill costs Might be a couple I've missed but if your in a syndicate then the cost is split, if your a sole owner it can be tough if dog injured and out for abit.

BitofaLegend is pretty much bang on. Cheapest I know of is about $14 a day up to about $18-$19 a day if your not on a 50/50 deal. Trainer of mine said rule of thumb is dog needed to earn about 10k a season to make it worth while for a 50/50 deal. Other trainers may do 60/40 in their favour or abit more. Only extra thing you should incur a cost if your on a deal is for is vet bills and maybe a big journey somewhere north or south.

So been having a read with the gap newletter on the grnz site: www.grnz.co.nz/Files/Documents/GAP%20SI%20Trainer%20Newsletter%20Aug%202018.pdf Now as a code I'm sure we plug alot of money into G.A.P., what is the shortfall they are having? "Also if you have any outstanding entry fees then we are not able to take any new dogs from you until these are paid in full. A sound, fully vaccinated, microchipped, council registered greyhound: $60.00 Additional extra fee if not microchipped: $30.00 Additional extra fee for un-council registered greyhounds: $20.00" What if your a trainer 50/50 as now with payment of prize money owners share goes directly to them which I don't have a problem with but the associated costs before the greyhound even gets a look in at gap made me raise the old eyebrows. As I know from few trainers once they say the dog has finished racing the owners basically say you sort the dog out. Will a side pot over the greyhounds racing career be an idea?

Jezzzus H Christ ( apologies to those that believe in magic ) "the downfall of our industry with come for a very small number of participants starting with the “guest” on that very forum we speak of, if they have been kicked out of the industry, lost money on the punt , an owner or trainer that doesn’t like getting beaten, sour grapes from the small time to the Bigtime. They are the ones that will end it all" Where the feck have you been over the last few years my man? I suggest the problem lies elsewhere. The problem starts at the top through the board which has been dysfunctional for many years now. I've been involved with the code for 10yrs now and the more that pops up leaves me shaking my head to what the feck is going on. I was also lucky enough to have some insight on how the board was run a few years ago with a distinct re active approach instead of pro active. When the X chairman was appointed I honestly thought yes he does have a conflict of interest but he does have business knowledge, some new life injected into our code. 2yrs down the track he is gone burgers, the kennel he is hugely involved with is breeding nineteen to the dozen. Greyhound welfare and rehoming is a major issue yet we are running 15 card meetings, some of which but not all are co mingled into ozz for punting - why because feck load of dogs about. The grassroots bloke or family is been squeezed out and with that is suddenly becomes a race card with 3 for 4 trainers taking the stakes, personally as a punter I don't punt on those races and only time will tell if I'm the only one. You have two major media items that have hit the news. One is like the grim reaper ready to strike at anytime with the spca gets their A into G. You look how N.S.W. dealt with it, if you happened even be at the venue where things occurred - BANNED! The second look is terrible and we will see what happens with the J.C.A. Ozz made examples of Bate ( stripped from hall of fame ) and Wheeler hasn't been exempt either from the top of the tree, some top tree pruning needs to be done in N.Z. as that grassroots bloke and family are turning round and not going anywhere near our code.

Ahhhh Tonkatime I have a funny feeling that admin is no longer in that position but you will have to send a message to yankiwi
