Enthusiast

Both dogs going well since.... Famous Lee huge today!

Could not agree more! Showed so much heart and determination each time, you're right, the complete package! All the best to him! Was a joy!

Very sad to see him pull up the way he did, devastating to say the least... after everything he had achieved, was there really a need to bring him back?

Deepest sympathy to all of Mike's family. He was a true champion of greyhound racing and will be missed far and wide!

Not a parasite at all buddy, moreso, a little peeved at the way you go around trashing other people when you are no Saint yourself. I don't need to name myself mate, have been long from the game so I doubt many of the participants will remember who I am. Still an enthusiast of the sport I once loved dearly, but not a fan of the constant dribble you allow yourself to communicate through these forums. No need to call you Clarkie, I have nothing to defend mate. We were shit on and a lot of moons have passed since. Genuinely wish you all the best but also really wish you would get on it and stop allowing yourself the time and energy used to come on here and spread rubbish son.

Clarkie, you are someone who the game can also do without and one we have not missed. In the many years you were in the game, what are some positives you attributed to the industry? I can personally name a few negatives with no positives springing to mind. My reply comes a month to the day that you last posted here but wtf are you on? You are an old man crying out for a hug. Get over yourself, get over the rubbishing everyone else's back yard when yours is just as bad if not worse. I will give you this, you presented your dogs in tip top condition but you were the shadiest person we ever had the not so privilege of dealing with. Move on son.

Good ole Mehe. Exactly that, "Meh". As for my opinion, regardless of whether it was asked for or not lol with no disrespect to Roso for the unforgettable, countless amount of hours and passion he has dedicated to NZ greyhound racing over the many years, he should not be calling the races. As an analyst, currently, there is nobody that can compete with the information that he supplies, however, when it comes to commentating, I'm sorry, but it is not good at all. There is no enjoyment in listening to it, I've resulted to muting the tv and just watching. There are so many young ones waiting for an opportunity and it's unfortunate that they will not get to show case their talents any time soon. Rather than worry about those others, I think he needs to move on too. Regards.

I was watching Dogzone the other night when they were discussing this and what a croc of shit.. I have to apologize for the tone of my comments but it is difficult to sit back and watch the hosts 'kiss arsing' a certain kennel the way they did on this week's episode. Rules are rules. I am glad Uthor Bale got kicked out, failing to pursue is FAILING TO PURSUE. It might look harsh.. Regardless of going on to win by 5L. For an instance, he turned his head - you're gone. Just imagine how bad it could've been.. In regards to how they selected the runners after the abandonment of one of the heats is beyond me. I 100% agree with Aquaman. That has happened in the past many times where the heat was run after the last. This should of been the case again, how were those particular greyhounds selected over others in the field? Like racinggreys mentioned above this post, a dangerous precedent has been set! There is no doubt in my mind, I class Dyna Dave as probably one of the best to come across is recent times, love the dog and he is probably the most deserving greyhound in the country to notch up a Group 1 but to go about it in ways which raise eyebrows is very dangerous from a professional point of view.

Couldn't agree more Chief! Rogerson is past his best, with all due respect. Have admired him for many years but just too much going around now and every time they win a race, "I hold this filly in high regards" or "one of the best I've trained" ... Roger James would be perfect, even so, I though young MacKay was doing a great job as well. Surely deserves due credit!

If I was referring to you Mehe, you would know mate. Cheers

I can't agree with a lot of what has been posted here.. I was not a fan of A. Speight at all because of her supremacist views, however, in terms of her and the welfare of her dogs, she treated them a lot better than most. Race days and trial days they always looked clean, happy and well. I think it's a terrible state of affairs when you continue to dog someone who has not been apart of GRNZ for a long period of time and also who hasn't even been in the country. You come across as the jealous ex BF (or BFs) who cannot seem to get over her. Move on with your lives folks, there are far better things to dedicate your time to.

HAHA! too true Devito! Got a couple in mind but we will see how that plays out... Fully agree! Best person to learn from! I remember Daniel when he was a little boy, following his brother to the track when Josh was only just kenneling dogs for Brendan Cole. To see how he is going from then to now, couldn't wish it on a better person! All the best Daniel, and back to Devito's comment, be careful haha. With great success comes sloppy seconds ?? Don't buy into it (or them)

Have to agree John, Barrell Runner would be any type of good if it would actually chase rather than race... The amount of ground he took off Opawa Toddy and Rivalries (hmm ??), who are both very fast dogs in their own right was huge, absolutely flew to catch up to them but he should've went past... didnt want a bar of winning. Showed the same against Creme Brulee, should've run past, but wouldn't.

Considering most of the posts I have read which are attributed with your "name", unfortunately, your legitimacy is to be questioned... which is why I responded how I did. I'm not here to argue, but it's hard not to when the same users are just out bagging for the sake of bagging.. The worse one is actually the starter of this thread. Like I wrote earlier, save it for something more productive. Happy hump day!
