Yes, i find it slower.

Mmmmmn, trip to spec savers in order. Look above.

Its a body double.

Mine logs out sometimes for no reason. It always has spinning wheels for about 40 seconds before loading. The navigation is a nightmare. I rang them just after the change over, spoke to a chap in Aussie, my subject being they did not have the prize money for the race, no time for the race, and no class of race. To their credit they have now rectified all three.

Waste spending money in Otago, this would be the most conservative and least gambling area of NZ.

Still no sign of Kate, been over 6 months now since last sighted other than fake and doctored photo's. Is she still alive?.

Even in my day, you new not to build kennels or other housing for dogs because of the arsenic in treated timber. Even sawdust that I use to source from my local timber mill had to be untreated, and not because of a possible positive swab, but for the welfare of the dogs. Pretty simple stuff I would of thought, so this influx of positive swabs to arsenic is a mystery to me.

Thats bullshit about there being only 7 countries that still race Greyhounds. The original home of Greyhounds, the Middle East, still race all the time. UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iran to name a few.

We love our dogs. They love to race.

The sport has made significant progress in recent years, especially in the animal welfare space. GRNZ is committed to ongoing improvement, and will continue to put significant time and resources into ensuring that animal welfare is at the heart of everything the industry does. GRNZ spends upwards of $8 million per annum on animal welfare, and has the highest welfare to prizemoney ratio spend of the three racing codes in New Zealand – by a considerable margin. One of GRNZ’s key welfare commitments is ensuring that every greyhound has the opportunity to be rehomed post its racing career. GRNZ therefore rejects the SPCA’s offer to assist the industry to rehome our greyhounds in the event of industry closure. Notwithstanding the fact that GRNZ believes that grounds for industry closure do not exist, GRNZ would not be comfortable aligning with the SPCA in the rehoming space, as their values around rehoming do not align with ours. GRNZ finds their “commitment to assisting the industry'' in this area ironic, given the SPCA is reputed to euthanise healthy animals which they are unable to rehome. The extent of this is unknown, as unlike its Australian counterpart (RSPCA) and many local authorities, the SPCA does not transparently report such statistical information (https://rspca.sfo2.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/public/Uploads/annual-statistics/RSPCA-Australia-Annual-Statistics-2022-2023.pdf). Accordingly, GRNZ considers the SPCA’s offer of assistance to be purely political and disingenuous. We challenge the SPCA to make its euthanasia statistics publicly available - like the greyhound racing industry does. With the support of our existing four adoption partners and the recent introduction of our America Rehoming Programme, GRNZ is in line to achieve more than 650 adoptions of greyhounds into loving homes this season (1 August 2023 - 31 July 2024). With 481 adoptions achieved last season, this increase highlights GRNZ’s commitment to ensuring all greyhounds have a life after racing and exemplifies that we have sustainable and results-based programmes in place. Major concerns with the greyhound racing industry from the 2017 Hansen Report and 2021 Robertson Review were: * The euthanasia of healthy greyhounds upon completion of their racing careers; * The number of euthanasias of dogs due to raceday injuries; * Breeding numbers exceeding the industry’s limited rehoming levels; and * Deficiencies with GRNZ systems and traceability of the greyhound population. These concerns are no longer valid, for the following reasons: * Greyhound racing is the only racing code with a Euthanasia Policy that precludes the unnecessary euthanasia of uncompetitive animals. Every dog is guaranteed the opportunity to find a forever home post-racing career through our adoption programmes. * Through a number of GRNZ initiatives, the number of raceday euthanasias is down 89% from five years ago. * GRNZ has implemented the GRNZ Great Mates Rehoming Programme and the America Rehoming Programme to ensure breeding numbers do not exceed the industry’s rehoming capabilities. * GRNZ has significantly enhanced its systems and processes to ensure 100% traceability of every greyhound within the industry. GRNZ has also addressed concerns with our reporting, with full transparency and accountability through our quarterly and annual reporting processes. Greyhound racing also makes an important contribution to the New Zealand Racing Industry. According to the January 2024 IER Size and Scope Report: * In FY23, greyhound racing generated $159.2 million of value-added contribution to the New Zealand economy, representing a 71.9% increase since FY17. * Our relative share of economic output by code has also increased from 5.7% to 8.5% during that six-year period. * Greyhound racing in New Zealand has seen ownership increase by 125% over the same six-year period. * Greyhound racing in New Zealand provides direct full-time equivalent employment for 1,054 people. Greyhound racing is leading the way in many areas of animal welfare across the wider racing industry, and we look forward to the Minister for Racing confirming his support for the positive progress the industry has made. We believe there are no grounds for closure, and that much of the contrary emotive debate is based on out-of-date information - or blatant misinformation. We look forward to a decision on the industry’s future, which will give industry participants the confidence required to continue making a positive contribution to New Zealand’s economic wellbeing.

What a racist comment this is.

Looks to me like the officials at Manawatu are becoming gun shy with the abandonment of their races yesterday. The antis are now ruling the roost. Track was running fine from most observation's until they talked themselves out of it.

I hope Peters has the balls to tell all two antis where to go and put them to bed once and for all. Pity Shane Jones wasn't the Minister of Racing. Looking like hold your breath time after what was on the MSM last night.

I feel confident that those hounds that made it to America will end up in excellent homes, even better than here. They are really sort after in the US, especially after all the track closures. I also read that all 14 arrived safely and in good condition, so all good news SA.

Trifectas are a mugs bet. Have been since the co mingling started. Trifectas were never co mingled as the TAB took more out of the pools over and above what was acceptable to their Aussie partner. Trifectas were a cash cow reaping about 27% takeout for the TAB. Speaking of the Melbourne Cup trifecta with Empire Rose. Natski, forget the 3rd place, it was a beauty at the time 1988?, about $1600.

Have followed Dr John Campbell for last 3 yrs Walt, he's knows what happened. Dr Peter McCullough is another as is Dr Robert Malone. One not to follow would have to be a reptile out of that once highly respected University of Otago that calls himself a Professor, Michael Baker.

Posted 1 hour ago Thanks mate. But if going thru GRNZ, isn't getting it spayed/neutered a requirement? I think if you are buying from breeder, then its just another dog, and whether you desex is up to you. There must be plenty of pups that are surplus to racing. Unsold ones etc, or ones breeder deems unsuitable for racing for whatever reason. Worth a try.

I'm no authority on this subject Charles, but expect you could pick up a pup for 1/2 grand from right person. First base would be the NZGRA and put in request there. Some of the poorer bred ones that do not sell could probably be very cheap. As you know, the NZGRA know everything thats bred in NZ. They will also have a fair idea what could be available and where. They will have contact info for breeders to.

And here was me thinking you are a bright person, with an interest and love of all things greyhound when in fact you are a nasty little troll only interested in destruction of the code. Imagine thinking that greyhound trainers and owners do not love their dogs and just abandon them willy nilly. When greyhounds are rehomed, they are surely missed by their trainers who take delight in following their progress as couch potato's. They are not abandoned as you suggest, and your pathetic argument of using a definition out of the dictionary without context does not wash.

Come on Seeyounext, answer Yankiwis question, where did you rescue your hounds from?. Hounds in NZ are not rescued, they are rehomed much to their displeasure.

Chaotic like the caller. Unbelievable the clerk would immerse himself in the middle of the field like that. Thwart with danger to all involved.

Its a positive Fish. The more broke the country becomes, the more the people will gamble. All good news for Etaine.

Maybe pay pet insurance for dogs first 5yrs.

Yeah, and ha ha to you to you f#cken moron.

Some justice for Darren Weir finally. Many parallels here with the Shirley Ross charges re electric collar on a Greyhound.

Not ridiculous at all Special Agent. I'm starting to grow feathers, so next year i'm going to fly and become a seagull.
