Yankiwi Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 The greyhound was injured during the race so needs to be stood down under rule 41(1). LR132A1 makes no previsions for an injury stand-down, but you're the RIB and you know this, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 GRNZ and/or SGRS needs to fix this. 13 per 1000 Major 2+ injuries are way over the 2 per 1000 GRNZ KPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRNZ has just fired their national track curator due to issues that have nothing to do with racetracks or their surfaces. I can't see how that would be putting animal welfare at the forefront of everything they do. Oddly enough, no transparency about that yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience there is normally a process to rigidly follow in these cases if indeed there is a case. I have yet to see a process that involves telling a random third party. 57 minutes ago, Yankiwi said: I'm sure Mr. Dore or Liz would love to hear from you. What do you mean by that?

Who knows but at the end of the day if there is an employment issue then there are processes to follow and mostly they are not played out in a public forum.

Odd thing is, the employment issue has already played out, thus GRNZ's former National Track Curator is no longer employed by GRNZ. There was a bit of an uproar when GRNZ initially filled the position. History sometimes repeats. Seems this time was one of them. Anyways, let's get back to welfare. So, who's investigating and/or fixing the Southland track issues where six times as many dogs have incurred a Major 2+ injury this racing season than GRNZ feels is acceptable? Is the Racing Safety & Infrastructure Manager doing it from Australia with his binoculars? Last racing season Southland was by far the safest track in terms of major injuries. Something has completely turned around in the wrong direction. What's happened in the last couple of months? 15 Races are set to go next week. Cross your fingers...
