Thrilling dogs tend to be a stride slow early and find trouble.

2 were "humanely euthanized"

Seems to grnz fucked up with this policy. Why did they waste hours on a policy before doing actual research? Seems counter productive

Bread is a good replacement for kibble in a racing dogs diet. Saying that, ive never fed it personally, but i know many who do

Didnt the dog who ran second have alot of money on it surprisingly in that race

Probably one of the coles from the way they seem determined to protect him

December sometime i have heard. Infront of a jury. Charges apparently include issues related to live baiting and witness tampering

Had the same thing happen to a dog a few yrs ago. Had to get an autopsy done myself and they never found anything out of the ordinary so would not be surprised

Not a good look for someone whos close to a person whos renowned for having dogs drop dead and collapse at the lure. Be interesting what comes back from the autopsy

Heard the dog collapsed at the lure and died last night

I dont see very many positives within the industry at all now... its on a steep and slippery slide to no where

We all know why cole decided to start breeding more dogs was because he pissed of some of the biggest breeders in Australia. Told one prominant breeder that his dogs had broken a leg, than he sold it on. Or how he buys dogs for 15k, sells them to syndicates for 40k. People pick up on these things and become less trusting of him Besides, if you want to breed 300+ dogs a year and have a little over 100 make the track a season than go ahead. Doesnt sound like my idea of fun. Just doing what mcinerney does with a better quality dog

Training 800 winners has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Id ask how many dogs coles rehomed while we are on the case but i think we all know the answer to that ?

If grnz really cared about the welfare of this industry, than they would look at policies limiting the amount of dogs bred both per person and per registered property aswell as limiting the amount of numbers a trainer can condition per season. Two seperate trainers alone breed more and race more dogs than are currently rehomed through the system (with both trainers having a heavy emphasis on home bred dogs). Obviously they do not have the balls to do this which will continue to lead racing in nz on a downward spiral. Weve already seen a state in australia nearly get shut down, usa pretty much finished, and ireland is not far behind and we are making similar mistakes, especially to ireland where they made all these statements and promises like we have and failed to fulfil them in the last 7 yrs. If anyone thinks there is a happy end to the current over breeding going on, than you are sadly mistaken.

You have still provided no evidence that this was the case at all though. Sounds like you are making things up out of the blue with this one

What a stupid statement. the majority of trainers with teenagers tend to go to the track. I know as a teenager, i used to not only go to the track, but skip school on the odd occasion aswell to help out at the track because i enjoyed racing. Didnt mean i didnt have a social life or friends. Beyond stupid. I dont agree with alot of the stuff this kennel has been caught out doing but attacking the younger children or individuals in general is just plain horrible.

Sounds like BS to me mate. Who paid him out?

Probably scratched on the 100km rule

Obviously didnt have the races muted if you knew she was going home ????

Surely this has to be challenged, it goes against the rules of the race

Have you made a complaint to the club? Surely the field needs to be redrawn?

No i dont have any personal quaries with her like some on here seem to do. I was just giving my honest opinion. I certainly wont be judging her on who she may or may not have been with. Besides, she will probably improve with time. Not everyone starts off great at something Id be more worried about our useless selection of comentators at present and why they havent moved along for the younger ones

From what ive see , shes just there to look pretty and comment on how dogs look. Last time i watched her present, she was getting the tracks and times at those tracks mixed up. I dont have a problem with her whatsoever though and there most certainly have been worse presenters.

He only narked after davey boy took all of his dogs right?

And rippin sam ran even worse
