When I first got involved with training, breeding, rearing, and racing Greyhounds the year was 1985, there was 1 suit along with one secretary to run the entire Greyhound industry. No Chairman, no board of Directors, no racing Manager, and no CEO. Full tote racing had been in existence about 7/8 yrs and there was about 100 meetings a year. Everything was done efficiently with very few problems. When I finished in 2017 the NZGRA had grown to 17 full time suits.

Now with all that man women power on the payroll, we now find their data base for tracking dogs are full of 30 year plus old dogs that have long dropped of the perch. F#ken brilliant.
