6th June at Cambridge.

A greyhound went through kennelling got rugged race and was disqualified.

There was nothing on stipes report 

So why do you have people scanning the dogs when this dogs would have gone through 2 scanning. Even 3 if swab 

Yes it was a coles dog too

I had a dog race at Invercargill back in the day that was the wrong dog. I was in Auck racing, and I had arranged for another trainer to pick up my dog in Cant and take to Invercargill with them, and you guessed it, took wrong dog. Even though the dog that was supposed to go was a brindle, and the dog that went was black and white it passed all ID and raced much to my shock watching on TV in Auckland. Needless to say I kept my mouth shut.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.  Perhaps it does.

It's never been about what has been done.

It's always been about who's done it.

Coles are more protected within the greyhound industry than kiwis are protected as an endangered species by the NZ Govt.

I would have thought that something should have come up in stipes report.

Coles should have been charged for presenting the wrong dog.

Kenneling Steward should have been charged for not detecting that it was the incorrect dog.

That'd be integrity, which is something that has been seriously lacking in all the years I've followed the sport.

No integrity for punters.

No accountability.

Who's done it, not what has been done.

Palmerston North GRC - 10 June 2024

Stewards have concluded their investigation regarding the scratching of ‘NEED A FAVOUR' at the Palmerston North GRC’s meeting on the 10 June 2024.

It has been established that two black greyhounds, 'ALL OVER ROVER' and 'NEED A FAVOUR,' were mistakenly identified at the Cole kennels, due to their close resemblance, similar microchip numbers and adjacent kenneling.

Trainer Lisa Cole, presented the wrong dog (presumed to be ‘NEED A FAVOUR’) to qualifying trials at the Palmerston North Greyhound Racing Club on May 28, 2024, where the discrepancy in the microchip number was not detected. The error persisted through to the Waikato GRC's meeting on June 6, 2024, where ‘ALL OVER ROVER’ mistakenly raced as 'NEED A FAVOUR'.

In response to the steward’s findings, Greyhound Racing New Zealand (GRNZ) has removed the greyhound named NEED A FAVOUR from all trial and race results. The greyhound ALL OVER ROVER has been entered retrospectively and has been disqualified by the stewards from qualifying and racing at the specified meetings.

Eh?  It says what has been done and who did it.

The question that you should be asking is what changes have been made to systems to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Any suggestions or would you rather there was a lynching?

What it looks like is no action taken because if you didn't have coles dogs you'd have half a race meeting. So we can't do that.

Nothing done so why have stipes and kennel staff.

 

 

The dog was disqualified due to a mistake and system failure.  What more do you want?

How do you know it was a mistake and not a ring in?, do you have other information?.

LOL really?  Are dog trainers that desperate that they need to win a small amount off the tote?

Do you have any evidence that it wasn't a mistake?

No you don't.

The dog was disqualified before dividends were declared wasn't it?

The dog was disqualified well after the fact, long after the all-clear was given & dividends to the punters have been paid.

Greyhounds should have ear tattoo's & microchips which are checked prior to kenneling & then again after they've been prepared for the race. If the dog is later selected for a swab, it should be checked a third time.

Oh wait, all those measures are already in place.

There are more than enough measures in place to assure integrity. If any or everyone drops the ball, they should be held to account.

The results now say Big Time Taxi won the race with a win dividend of $1.40.

That's quite odd seeing the win dividend should have been $3.60.

How does a punter go about returning the money they won betting on All Over Rover or Need A Favour, which ever dog it actually was?

How does a punter collect the $3.60 on their $1 win ticket?

Maybe Fair Go should be brought back for one more episode to work it out.
