im guessing the hart/taylor fahey kennel had scratchings today because of "virus" no new threads abusing them for lining up other runners its with us unfortunately the difference is the kennels today didnt take the dogs to the track maybe a fine or kennel stand down for taking dogs to the track is the answer??

https://www.grnz.co.nz/News/2715/Containment-of-VomitingDiarrhoea-Virus only a few days ago it was decided that healthy dogs can race???

One thing I do believe in....well done cole kennel

what a complete and utter tosser.......... the poor cunt drove home with no dog and your worried about your cole hating ego......... do us all favor go and play chicken with a train i hope you lose...................

brodie....... the tab can get all the info they want now,without all the bloody hassles......... this is going to be a bloody pain in the arse and they know it......... you got too remember you only need a verified account and pin no...... dosn't mean it has too be your account..........

i would presume the TAB have been easy targets for the DIA a lot easier too take on mum and dad punters than big public/privately owned casinos etc......... this is going to be nothing but a pain in the arse for the tab they may get a bit more info but they can basically get the same info now without jamming up retail betting and causing a lot of frustration on big race days etc its no good for anybody apart from a few government bureaucrats who can now justify there and big tax payer funded salaries........ i say drain the swamp ?

brodie........ talking too a few of the management in the weekend this is not what the "tab" wants they have no choice....... this is going too cause a lot of hassles at retail and on race days and its something they could do with out in testing times...... i understand not only does it effect cash bets or collects over $1000, if you bet with a voucher with a balance of over $1000 every time you use it even if you spend only $50, every time you scan it you will need too produce ID or the "verified card" the big race days on course and retail will be a nightmare..........

Do you not rate the cole kennels breeding Mehe?? Is it doing nothing too improve the nz breed bloodlines?

“Modern day cunts”?? the only dog I have owned in the last 7 or 8 years is sitting on my couch and is part of the family fritter....... do you think all the bigger breeders are cunts or Just the cole kennel??

four shaw i'm just surprised that so many are critical of a leading trainer on this site but have very little mud on their hands or shit on there shoes themselves,i can understand fellow hobby/part time trainers struggling and feeling like there's no light at the end of the tunnel but i guess not everything is so straight forward....... have handled my fair share over the years but not for a very long time 4 shaw........ my contribution now involves around doing the form and still providing owners and trainers stake money via poor punting efforts i hope they are appreciative......... ?

WOW.......gee feel the fritter do you think this stuff is for real?? here i thought just like the other good breeders in the country who invested in good quality brood bitches used good stud dogs reared them properly broke them in properly and then trained them properly was the reason they are so successful......... silly me

whats your bloody sweet and tears in the industry four shaw????

i only used coles name because that's who you and most others on here attack that was all....... everyone has their punting preferences cockyaleg, i personally like races where i think the fav is vulnerable and i guess in the CD that normally means finding the false cole runners in the market and trying too make the most out of it some times it works,some times it doesn't..... "cole doesn't rate in my book"?? big statement, you don't have too like the guy but from my eye he breeds a good dog and knows how too train them but that's the challenge for others i guess trying too match him it isn't going to be easy....... i wont be putting any figures up here but if your ever at the track ask the club secs or race day managers they get too see the figures fixed vs tote............. cheers....... now i'm off too sort out the glorious 20 race wednesday card

why just the cole kennel cockya??? why not j.mac robin wales gary harding steve evans etc are you anti big breeders or just cole??? the cole kennel should be treated no different too anybody when it comes too wastage and re-homing figures...... if my memory is right the total no. of dogs euthanized last season was 400 odd until nzgra release the names i cant see how anybody could only be guessing too where they came from?? naturally the bigger breeders are going too have more numbers than smaller breeders but i would like too think everybody is playing their part too get this no. down....... with nzgra policy and just the lacking of breeding in australia over the last 18 to 24 months if the macs wales coles and evans etc stop breeding where are we going too get the dogs too keep the industry going??? regarding what punters seem too like, from what i see they don't care if its a bigtime homebush or opawa some of the palmy monday turnover is crazy esp if rosso tips a bigtime fav they are not scared or put off too have a crack... over the next few years the racing industry is going too have massive challengers the anti mob aint going anywhere all i'm saying is if we can dish up a consistent product we should be ok......... cock whats your favourite area too punt on and why???? cheers off too have a study up of thurs.fields

"when the tab went digital,the long term punter also dropped away???? where is your evidence for this?? "i have seen no evidence that they have been replaced with a younger demographic" what figures do you look at?? the last time i looked the cole kennel has trained 800 plus winners how many have you trained???? how many dogs have you breed and rehomed???

the thing that annoys me the most, is out of the 3 codes i really think going forward we have massive potential,punters/gamblers are driven by the quick gamble now they are getting less and less interested in 2 3 or even 4 minute horse races they want a "quick fix" and if we offer them a consistent product we really should just keep closing the gap on the other 2 codes....... the wee man is disappearing in all 3 codes rockit this is not just a "greyhound"problem but when i do attend the races i have noticed a big increase in younger faces and lets hope in the future they can see a away too make a contribution to a sport they obviously love and enjoy the price of land is obviously going to be a killer going forward for potential young trainers if i knew the answers too this problem i could probably help fix the kiwibulid debacle........ getting access too dogs i don't think is overly challenging for new entrants , i know guys like dave fahey daryl mac robin wales are easily approachable and i'm sure they would sell pups or race dogs at reasonable prices even gary harding/karen walsh and if you want too breed a litter into the future they have some well proven families that would give people hope that they could have there own "thrilling talks dyna daves opawa hops" etc regarding the cole kennel it is going no where, but i can remember the day when they were just another family involved in the sport.......i guess the challenge too everyone else is with a bit of hard work, investment in quality stock why cant i compete with them??? might take a few years but you cant blame/dislike people for being successful,the young ones need too challenge themselves and remember they started at the bottom and are now at the top good luck too them........ everyone in this sport,license people, administration should see a rosy future because it really is in our own hands its going to be what they make of it, but the less poor decisions in head office can only help,and with regards too the soon to be import policy it can not be the start or continuation of policy that takes the sport backwards i for one see no positives coming from it apart form a few administration staff patting themselves on the back..........

although this a very poor decision by either, the staff at nzgra or the current board i think it will have minimal impact in the next 12 too 18 months..... with the shortage of aussie dogs and increase of stake money over there, only high priced purchases and very talented iffy chasers will be heading our way and i cant see that changing............ the group 1 races will still be dominated by aussie imports we just might not have the pool of dogs too see the best every week like we do now........ i guess the rising question out of this has to be how and who made this decision??? some might agree with this policy, but one you don't agree with maybe next....... as a code moving forward the cancer has to be cut out of nzgra (everyone i talk too seems too know exactly where it is located) for the sport too thrive and hit the straps it really has the potential too hit, license persons deserve too have the right people running the code or everyone miles well just burn the collars and leads and bed mats now........ with public trainers steele/fahey and a long time owner dave emerson on the current board all having success with imports i find it hard too believe that they would support such a policy at board level so its got me beat how this would even get approved........ lets hope with a new CEO the code gets some good strong positive policy making which lets license people get on with racing and caring for their race dogs without the continuous sanctions been putting on them and just making people walk away from the sport that we all want too see continue and thrive

i very seldom attend casinos or buy lotto tickets it will be very interesting too see if these establishments will also have such rules?? maybe the tab is seen as the gambling haven for money laundering??? $2000 on the all blacks vs mars at $1.001 and it comes out cleaner than jacindas family photos............

http://www.rita.org.nz/anti-money-laundering you would think governments around the world would have better things to be doing...... i also read some Australian credit card companies are shortly banning transactions involved in gambling...... cows not allowed too fart, no digging for gold, wont be able too drive a car shortly now gambling getting too hard........ whats next in government lunacy.............

where do these figures come from???? 50 million?? its may 17th not 1st of april.........

i say good on him...... they threatened his business which he has the right too defend....... i would be more worried about why the hell someone would waste any time complaining about a bit of confetti entering the waterways when Auckland council send millions of tones of human waste its way............ this PC crap has to be debated and if its leo or anyone else in this world im in their corner....

jonny my understanding is they have never paid for fields/form access and were never going too....... i heard dennis ryan on the radio the other day crying and blaming everyone else apart from his business model......... him and his partners/journalist have done nothing but put the boot in to the nzrb/tab the middle finger in return i guess was abit of karma

this is my last comment on this as like most discussions on here they get over taken by people with there own agenda and common sense goes out the window...... currently we need a set amount of dogs too full fill our racing licenses if you take 200 out of this system these dogs will need to be replaced with more NZ breed dogs this will do absolutely nothing too improve the gap waiting list and if anything make it worse...... this is nothing more than a political agenda too get of Australian imports it has nothing too do with welfare........ i for one enjoy watching the pinny macs dyna daves robsons natures gents dusty gamblers dyna weslyns rocket raccons nelso allens etc on the tracks in NZ some may not and everyone is entitled too their opinions ..... one thing seldom discussed in this matter also is betting revenue one thing i do know about, these dogs well and truly pay for a retirement in NZ without having too pay 1000% more than a NZ breed pup too enjoy it

Look at the good contribution too the code the Ferguson’s are making,I would imagine the dogs they have brought Havnt been overly expensive they have copped the $500 import fee and have done a good job and winning races and now listed races, I would imagine they have brought in new owners too the game and we’re planning on expanding their greyhound involvement....... now it’s over bang sorry Peter it will now cost you $2000 a dog too rehome one even if you want Robson on the couch...... let’s hope this is just another captains call that gets banged on the head and quickly......

Yankee.. can you tell me the difference between someone paying $15k or 20k for a dog let’s use Sparta as an example been a good dog created plenty of turnover been a good advertisement for our code.... the dog gets rehomed privately or through gap or mayhounds why should the owner be penilised $2000??? Then someone breeds a litter of pups 4 make it too the races and 2 are off too gap at 18 months of age and it costs them $150 a dog too use excately the same service dosnt make sense too me.... if you want too ban imports just ban them don’t make welfare as an excuse
