Taupiri Wonder

Whoa..hold up there Major. There you go..making assumptions again. Never did I say or suggest that. Think and get your FACTS correct before posting!

Mehe,I usually agree with you but here you are totally wrong. It was Jason and Matthew McCook involved. NOT ANDY exactly as I posted.

Mehe is correct.Two other brothers involved in the mischief you refer to,but NOT Andy.

Wait until Inca Matters are revealed in Court.One Race Night at Palmerston North could well render your comment here wrong!!!

What a bizarre pointless rule!!! So if dog drawn Box 2 is on first to box list,and handler places dog into Box 1...What Happens!!

Not to be confused with his brother Jason,who also posted and ran a Punters Club.

Ruakaka I expect.

Enthusiast,you make some very valid points.What is the fairest way to decide which dog(s) advance into The Cup Final,especially if a rerun on the day is deemed not possible.If the non race is at least half completed,I would give most weight as to how the race was unfolding,and where dogs were positioned at time of lure being caught.Now,I never saw video of this race in question,so have no idea where Dyna Dave was sitting.However,I have spoken to Dave Fahey (who to my mind is a great judge and doesn't make false boasts),that his Opawa Dog was going on to win this heat before the lure failure.I hate the old system of drawing out of hat,totally unfair.Over 15 years ago,my dog was going to run top two and qualify for Auckland Cup,when lure stopped in home straight.Names drawn out of hat,7th and 8th favourites qualified.Needless to say they were the rank outsiders and ran accordingly.It still rankles that TAB wouldn't refund my Futures Fixed Odds Bets following a non race,where all tote bets got refunds!

Karma's Date with PETE THE CHEAT. Am so pleased that Ferguson (and same co-owner as Thrilling Billy) do not get to line up their star performer Robson in NZ Cup Final next week.As a recent Group One Winner (Waterloo Cup),he was a strong candidate to taste Group One success again,and then earn 2019/20 Greyhound of Year Honours.How Officials only 'punished' this FRAUDULENT CHEATING ACT with a pathetic $300 fine still beggars belief!!!

Hmmmn,just when you think Stewards can't stoop any lower,they prove you wrong,and come up with a super lame judgement/ penalty as this. Totally Gutless and no deterrent to anyone tempted to repeat this offense. P Ferguson laughing all the way to the bank,has made mockery of the system,and showed Greyhound Officials to be Real Buffoons,out of their depth running this sport.

Well within the last day,Thrilling Billy no longer appears on the NZGreyhound Website as a Racedog.Owner and Trainer details removed.

Karma-to a degree! At least the skulduggery around the nomination of Thrilling Billy at Cambridge today was not rewarded with a victory in Race 10 by a Ferguson Runner,though this same combination snared a third placing,and a nice cheque of $669. I have enjoyed watching P Ferguson's rise within The Greyhound Trainers Ranks,since becoming a dual code participant,culminating with Group One Glory earlier this month,,winning time honored Waterloo Cup.Now it seems he wears his trotting cap that many see as the domain of Cheats.

THRILLING BILLY Race 10 # 4 tomorrow at Cambridge.Racebook details.Trainer P Ferguson.Owners P Ferguson & I O'Neill.Same combination as Group 1 Waterloo Cup Winner Robson earlier this month.This Cambridge Race tomorrow has 8 entrants,no reserves.Tainer P Ferguson supplies 3 of these entrants,and I O'Neill also shares ownership of Trojan's Magic.Totally easy to see why Aussie Aussie Aussie 'smelt a rat' in his opening post here.So do I.(unless the posts and photos of Thrilling Billy being rehomed are mistaken identity!!)

Good question Rockit.I am thinking Yankiwi was not referring to the fact that The Top Training Team Fahey had 3 x winners and 3 x placegetters on the undercard.

Jenny,I saw for several years the affection you showered upon Vintage Red and great life he was able to enjoy in retirement,via your numerous posts/photos on Facebook.The same has followed with Brat,Quest,and Disco.Awesome to see that their Racing Owners/Trainers sought out the best in re-homing options.

Yankiwi.This reminds me of The Glorious Summer of '13,when I won my first nine race day starts.Oh how we punted up large and enjoyed our breeding success.Fore runner of years to follow!

You could write her in depth knowledge of the greyhound industry on the back of a postage stamp.

Bloody Hell.If this news pleases and delights Sean & The Board,I would hate to imagine how catastrophic bad news would be!!!!!

Looks like The Cole Juggernaut will be taking home another Bigtime Haul of Awards Season Wins *On track to break last season's record tally of 803. Stake Earnings*Set to break $2million barrier again. Most Wins*Top Two:Sir Dougie 21:Bigtime Pete 20 Dam*Top Two:Ocotillo 80:Night Pearl 75 Sprint*TopThree*Sir Dougie:Bigtime Pete:Bigtime Eve Middle Distance*Trojan Hoarse NZ Bred*Trojan Horse:Bigtime Pete*also 7 of top 10. Wonder if Coles or Rendle will Collect Awards in person!

I remember many moons ago,a greyhound I always handled was wrongly pronounced by commentator.(It did have an ambiguous sounding spelling.)So one fine day,I climbed the stairs to Commentators Box,and politely informed Pete Earley pre-race of the correct pronunciation.He told me in no uncertain terms,"if the monkey wants it changed,don't send the organ grinder".lol

Wonder what Blair's winners total would be if Dexter still driving here.Imagine Blair would still play Second Fiddle.

I totally agree with gambler.If anyone took the time to give a written statement to SPCA in good faith,in the hope that it would strengthen their case,and SPCA couldn't even be bothered to get in touch or give courtesy of a reply,then sod it,sod them.

Oh how quickly they forget!!!No mention of Radio Pacific Doyen in their early days Chris McQuaid.

And don't get Aquaman started on The Tie Dress Rules at Addington.☺️
