An amazing trainer, that acts like a true professional and is willing to help anyone, and so humble in her career wins. Karen has always had the welfare of the dogs at heart. You would find it hard to find anyone like her. Good luck Karen. ..........

After all the success in Australia, wasn't there an Aussie looking after the tracks, I was sure there was 🤥

Wow, irrespective of the incident. Paula Penfold is the last person we need involved again. It's her who dropped the surprise on Jim Leach in the middle of in interview about the burnt dogs.

And that's where the wheels come off. The Board appointments that were "jobs for the boys", just look at the history. Rendle, Hannan, Barsi, Hughs, Holden, Rennell. It's a pretty sad line up when you dissect it. Not to mention the outstanding board members like D Scott. And the rest of the board that have come before the RIU as it was. Then the elite trainers like Cole, Wales, Freeman, Schofield, McInerny, Fahey, Weir. that make good RIB decision reading. And if that's not enough, the inability to make the tracks safer, and bring in the experts that have made no difference at all. The story about track death reduction is just smoke and mirrors. Dogs are still breaking bones; the only difference today is GRNZ are spending huge amounts of money to fix them, so the stats don't show them as deaths. It's no wonder we are where we are.

Well the turn of events is sure interesting. Labour out, Minister of Racing who is clearly sympathetic to all codes out, Winston the King maker likely not to hold any power who is also sympathetic to racing. National who said they would ban greyhound racing........... So where does that leave us???

What absolute bullshit. Hes not going to, or would be able to walk away with what he's put into that property and business. It's worth nothing to jo blogs and what greyhound trainers got the money to buy it? All he's doing is spouting poor me and looking for sympathy, or attention. And is disillusioned code for him and Rendel not getting their own way?

https://thegreyhoundrecorder.com.au/news/bathurst-summit-delivers-decisive-action-plan-48166 Looks like Mr Dores been singing to the Aussies how well it's going over here. I wonder just what evidence based data he's presenting them ??

If you go back to last weeks report both rugg and the lure driver checked it out which surprises me given neither of them are electronic specialists! So under the watch of the new track infrastructure manager we’ve got lure failures breaking dogs, auckland track breaking dogs, CHCH track breaking dogs. Excellent record so far huh! The management and board have their heads so far up their arses they obviously can’t see what’s happening, or care!

Use another board appointed puppet. Not one of them since sleepy Jim hasn’t been known to them. They have all been seat warmers lining their pockets with no interest in the dogs at all.

I am almost sure that the strikes the trainers initiated in aussie were partially because of the injuries and meeting losses caused by the track expert but they were all united and had the backing of the trainers association. I cant see our trainers getting together and making the same stand? The antis will be having a ball, the employmnet of an expert to sort it all out, the huge change and cost to Manakau which have made NO difference, and please dont blame the trainers it makes no difference to the end result where dogs have died as the antis just make the noise about dead dogs and injury numbers!! WTF is Wanagnui going to be like if it ever races again. GRNZ and the Board members have a LOT to answer for.

Yes it will help the trainers. But think about how much this has cost everyone. $0 worth of turnover, paid out all stakes to trainers, and the clubs probably got to pay wages for staff. So an expensive fookup !!

I had it first hand , the same thing. Trainers pissed off with more injuries than before he mucked around with the tracks, and when it went pear shaped the track men and clubs got the blame for being useless. GOTBA we’re call for his head. And the slightest inconsistency the race or meetings were called off. How on earth can you compare so quickly our sand to the Aussie sand, surely everything he has done has been on aussie sand and will need to learn about how ours acts? GRNSW GRV Deja vu Clearly no one reference checked this guy out with his Aussie managers !

I think if you dig a little deeper the stats will show little reduction in overall injuries, just breaks. Career ending injuries like monkey muscles, back muscles and gracilis are actually more than circle tracks I also heard the J track is the same.

Doesn't a certain Board member have dogs with him?

Jesus your more brainless than I gave you credit for aquaman. Covid is bul##$t, tell that to the anitvaxers that are in ICU pleading for it to be given to them once they have it.
