A Dogs Life

Wally Cancer really is the problem, look at the facebook sites For the love of Greyhounds, and Greyhound Collective to name a few. So many treasured loved rehomed pets been put to sleep from Cancer, I've been there with some I've had as pets also and it cuts deep. I wonder if it's something to do with all the highly processed kibble we feed and dog roll etc. Sad reality is large trainers are cold as hell and show little compassion, but most do care. Look at how they handle the dogs on track! Guess it's like so many more humans getting cancer, Why? Absolutely evil shit.

This is when Mark was doing the track, he is responsible for these injuries and deaths. He is responsible for abandoned meetings! Mark is responsible for all this crap coming out of SAFE. The Club and board is also responsible for allowing him to continue on his path and drag the club and sport into this light. Yes the big players are definitely at fault to but if the track was safe and up to the standard it is now then these injuries most likely wouldn't have happened. How many injuries and deaths since Mark has been taken of the track? very very few. No one knows what's going on with him yet but heck if they allow him back and onto the track god help us all. It will be the demise of Hatrick I feel, Who else agrees? I for one do not want to run my dogs ever again on a track Mark gets to work on and definitely not Trials! Look at how busy Sunday trials are since he hasn't been there! Speaks for itself. The board and NZGRA are idiots if they allow him back. What's everyone else's thoughts?

support group that the Interislander has pulled it's support also, these businesses pulling sponsorship goes both ways, they will loose out on support from trainers, contractors, and anyone who gives a damn about the sport. I for one will be boycotting those business and my spend is considerable, one of the businesses has already lost $2500 of my money as I gave the job to another. Gutless pricks cave to safe, now they pay the price. Another local firm that continues to sponsorship recently got a lot of my business. Goes both ways.

What a bloody disgrace to the sport. What the hell is wrong with these stipes? oh you naughty boy, here is a slap with soggy bus ticket. Talk about send the wrong message, seems crime does pay. Obviously it sits well with NZGRA to allow this crap to continue.

Mr Clarkie I totally agree, it's so unfair and all us other trainers get a few left over crumbs. It stinks and isn't fair. If Cole had a heart attack and died would his wife be able to manage? or would the all those dogs be fuc.ed? and the industry, there is a shortage of dogs as only 9 races at Palmy? to be fair on all other trainers they should have races where Cole has no dogs, but that would never float, greedy pricks make sure of that. Sad state of affairs.

Your so right Mr Clarkie, Peter Early and Brian Hunt were top fella's still plenty of decent ones left thank goodness, Yes you can't reason or talk to Mark without an explosion usually, even having a beer can turn dangerous then other times he can be your best mate, hard to fathom. Four Shaw, your right, since the new Man is doing the track it's looking great and feedback around the traps is positive. Yankiwi, it was interesting to see 3 stipes and not just for one meeting, plus the head Stipe from Christchurch, but things are improving.

At what point does NZGRA step in and sort this? Having dogs is a real concern while this Mark plays games with our lively hoods and dogs welfare. Something else came to mind, that recently the Last time Mark drove the Palmerston Race meeting 14th July 2020 he had the lure to close and no race was called. When the stipes spoke with him he didn't have the courage to face up to his mistake, instead throwing a tantrum as he does and walked off costing another club and everyone huge money. Ask the members about his driving in general and how many dogs he's injured over the years from the lure to close or catching the lure. Why is this man still allowed to create these issues and play games behind the scenes? and further more still be employed??? Thanks Mr Clarkie, yes it seems most don't have the guts to speak up but after the way Mark treated and spoke to trainers Sunday and the stunt's he pulled someone has to speak up. He needs sacking and if the board don't act they will feel the wrath from trainers/members I'm sure. Your right about Queen bee and off sider. Four shaw you won't be impressed when you find out about Sunday, any trainer there will gladly speak out I'm sure. The trials should not have been allowed to run! http://jca.org.nz/non-race-day-hearings/non-raceday-inquiry-riu-v-m-d-beeson-reserved-penalty-decision-dated-3-september-2020-chair-mr-r-g-mckenzie

Wednesday the 20th Wanganui meeting abandoned ! Due to Mark Then Sunday 24th Trials Mark pulls more crap and puts the welfare of all the dogs that went on track at risk! for his own bully boy agenda 🥵 Imagine if someone trying to close things down had a camera there Sunday, Mark would have played right into their hands !!!! How many times does he get to play with peoples lives and the welfare of the dogs? What is everyone's thoughts on this shocking going on? Personally I've had a gutsful. Where is the action from management and statement letting everyone know what's going on and what's been done to remedy things?

Your right on the money Mr Clark part of the problem is who is running Hatrick? Who puts their hand up and takes charge? And how many dogs are taken home then euthanized after said injuries at trials? lets hope safe don't dig there.
