First month of the new racing season has been completed.

Well done to Cambridge!

As for the others, not so much.

Worthless nonsense unless you compare to same time last year at a minimum AND produce a measure of statistical variance.

A D- grade at best for Chazza.  Probably worse as you have manipulated the figures and their presentation.

Well, you said last year it was worthless nonsense too, but I'll compare Aug 2024 with Aug 2023 for you.

 

Aug 2024 vs Aug 2023

  • Plus 11 Starters
  • Minus 7 Major 1 Injuries (22 to 42 day)
  • Plus 12 Major 2 Injuries (43+ day)

2024/2025 Season Major 2+ GRNZ KPI = .214%

August 2024 = .476% or over double their KPI figure.

August 2023 = .119% or about half of their current (relaxed) KPI figure.

You don't have to be concerned about it. However, I am.

With over double the KPI rate in August, they'll have to go the entire month of September with zero Major 2+ injuries to get back even close to their target.

Really or are you just shit stirring?

The KPI is wrong in the first place.  Why set a KPI that is half of other jurisdictions and which you largely have little control over.

You see your metrics include injuries that GRNZ have no control over.  For example you can't stop a dog colliding with another dog.

YOU can't.  Would be interested to hear HOW YOU think you can SUNT.

Question for you SUNT - will you ban every pet owner who over feeds their dog?

For someone who loves to run others down, name call and generally act smugly superior, you’re being remarkably dim @Chief Stipe 🤣🤣🤣

 

And what exactly is the relevance of your question to this topic? Or any other for that matter?

The topic is essentially about dog welfare.  6.3 Greyhounds in a 1000 get injured.  Nearly all recover after dedicated care.

More than 6.3 pet dogs in a thousand are over fed leading to chronic conditions often not treated.

Do you protest against those owners?  I bet your dog is fat and you think you are being kind.

How unlike you to be so concerned about greyhound welfare but since you ask, nope you bet wrong: my vet and I are both very happy with the condition of my hounds who are healthy and happy and at relevant weights for their ages and sizes.

So what are you doing SUNT to stop pet owners over feed their dogs?

Ah pro racers love your whataboutism, don’t you? As if people only have the capacity to care about one issue at a time. Nope, my emotional range is bigger than that, though of course I can’t speak for you. 
 

As this is clearly an issue close to your heart, what are YOU doing Chief? I’m sure you will find many groups, online and in real life, that you can join to help advocate for overweight pets and educate owners on good pet nutrition or you can speak to your vet professionals or the SPCA to get more information. You could even start an advocacy group yourself!

I just look after my own dog and detest hypocrites such as you and Chazza.

Why do you believe I am a hypocrite?

For comparing greyhound injury data in near real time against GRNZ's set KPI's for injuries?

I didn't set GRNZ's KPI targets, they did.

If no-one takes the time to compare realized injuries to their KPI's, then those targets are basically empty words, something GRNZ has proven themselves to excel at over the years.

You know, empty words like~

  • 2014 safety rails for all tracks
  • 2022 safety rail for Manukau
  • "Welfare underpins everything we do" like~ Sending one dog with a broken leg an hour away to Gore to be operated on, then two weeks later the next dog to incur the same broken leg on 10+ hour long haul to Rangiora for its welfare.

GRNZ expects 2 dogs per 1000 starts to incur a major 2+ injury. One month into the season 5 per 1000 starts have been realized.

Is GRNZ alarmed?

Doesn't seem so, because they're not being very transparent about it.

5/1000 or 99.5% of race starts have no major injury.

Versus the KPI of 99.8% uninjured.

The fact is that in no high performance event either human or involving dogs or horses is there a 0% injury rate.

Go play tiddly winks Chazza with SUNT.

Why don't you and SUNT direct your attentions to the 25% of pet dogs that have been made obese by bad owners?

Wrong.

The correct claim would be 5/1000 or 99.5% of race starts have no major 2+ injury.

image.png.503d2ebfaa6342a9c5f0b175ec4b0688.png

8/1000 or 99.2% of race starts have no major injury.

I thought you had a passion for statistics?

Maybe you should normalize your thinking.

Same point Chazza.

Bit rich coming from you Chazza.

Over 99% of dogs race without a major injury.
