Yankiwi Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 If the dog was actually chasing the lure, instead of the lure carriage, it would have caught it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 (edited) It should have been declared a no-race. However, that would have been inconvenient, as it was a heat race for the Kingston Cup. The rule - 2) Following the running of an Event, the Stewards may permit a variance to the distance required by subrule (1) of this rule that occurred during an Event if satisfied that as a consequence of the variance no greyhound was advantaged or disadvantaged so as to affect the outcome of the Event The Stewards ruling - The lure was observed to be close to the leading runner leaving the home straight with a lap to run but no runner was substantially inconvenienced. Lure driver M Gallagher was spoken to in regards to this and reminded of his obligations. Convenienced or inconvenienced are not determining factors. Was any dog advantaged or disadvantaged because of the event, 100% yes. Quirk should be stood down immediately pending retraining and numerous satisfactory trials.

Most if not all dogs thought the lure was slowing down, as it does just about every time they run in a race, as it was entering the catching area. Sorry Quirk, dogs don't count the number of laps.

Yankiwi Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 With one lap to go - Same race, after the winning post & entering the slow-down/catching area. The decision to allow the race by the Steward was criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 (edited) https://www.grnz.co.nz/Files/Animal Health Welfare Committee minutes/00 2024 02 21 AHWC Minutes - Draft (2).pdf From the minutes of the AHWC's 20 February meeting. Manukau's previous 8 race meetings (prior to the meeting) injury rates (1 Jan to 18 Feb). So GRNZ's Chief Executive believes that a major injury rate of 19 dogs per thousand (KPI target is 6 per thousand) is acceptable? We now have two of GRNZ top brass that should be stood down from their duties due to incompetence within GRNZ. MD & ER. Who on the AHWC would like to be next to be exposed for what they are doing to the future of greyhound racing?

Yankiwi Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Dogs are supposed to be vet checked after a fall. Steward must have forgot their eyeglasses today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted Wednesday at 05:29 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 05:29 AM https://www.grnz.co.nz/catch-the-action/15894/stewards-report.aspx When a dog sustains an injury during a race but isn't an injury statistic GRNZ? Not on my watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted 40 minutes ago Author Share Posted 40 minutes ago GRNZ's media release. https://www.grnz.co.nz/News/3200/GRNZ-Media-Release-Greyhound-Racing-is-important-to-New-Zealand-and-deserves-support So Mr. Rennell, if GRNZ has full transparency as you claim, just where has GRNZ released their 2nd quarter (Nov - Jan) and 3rd quarter (Feb - Apr) injury data? It's not here ~ or here ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
