I'm a kiwi

Your right, I definitely was not there that day. But I'm the skinny white 62 years old Grandfathers' wife lol. (Hi John ) But I never suffered from fear of missing out as during my previous visit to the track I was told I was a mongrel as was my dog . 🙂

Isn't there? I just thought I'd join the crowd for once in my life and I have to be honest and say that while I probably wouldn't ever be that rude again, I did enjoy it.

Female against male! And it was not a wet bus ticket believe you me.. I have for more serious events than you to ponder but it doesn't mean I'm oblivious to right and wrong! And I know the difference. If the authorities told you there are 12 months in a year you would disagree just because it came from the Authorities and probably because it gives you a buzz. YOU WERENT EVEN ON TRACK FOR GODSAKE, NOR WERE YOU FOR THE FUCKIN YEARS AND YEARS BEFORE THAT so piss off.

Getting assaulted is NOT a storm in a tea cup in any way, shape or form!!!

The main thing is that Double Thunder came out of it reasonably unscathed (cheese helped a lot with much cuddling). The handler Melanie was horribly shaken though. She had only been with us for 12 months at that time and there was no way she could have been prepared for this situation. How could she be? We do need to keep in mind that we all also have great times within this industry and form lifetime friendships. THIS is the part of it that's worth talking about and remembering. Keep well everybody. Lisa Grant

I think it is time that NZGRA actually says something and then actually follows through! We have heard that they were going to ban non chasers from coming to New Zealand which they did not do, of course. I see one dog put over the fence and injured at Addington two weeks ago. Today we see another one fight and pull up, disrupting the field to the point where it looked like many of them got hurt, including the instigator. The NZGRA should be ashamed of themselves . Like most politicians they are good talkers with no action. It makes me wonder how they smile and collect their pay while we continue to see dogs regularly break legs at Addington. We are now in a situation that if we say anything the excuses run riot, for example, the dog took a check, the dog fell, it was an old dog, hes been having problems with that dog, . This an aboslute disgraceful display of incompetance by the Association and RIU that are supposed to be there to protect the dogs. " We love our dogs, they love to race" is our logo. What an absolute fraud of a logo to have when the powers that be, the RIU, the Association do nothing to protect their safety accep offert excuse after excuse. Greyhound Racing will be long gone and we will all look back at the incomeptance of the so called professsionals in charge. Too late!
