Betting on the Dogs

Will the NZ TAB be taking bets on overseas greyhound races If the greyhounds get banned in NZ?

19 greyhound race meetings from overseas today and 20 tomorrow on NZ TAB.

That's a big slice of the TABs racing day.

Seem very hypocritical to ban greyhound racing in NZ and still support overseas greyhound racing via the TAB.

If greyhound racing in NZ does ultimately get shut down, we'll quickly find out whether it was shut down because of welfare concerns or other nefarious reasons.

Injury rates in NZ are lower than those in Australia.

 

For me, GRNZ is the problem with poor governance & the RIU/JCA now RIB for poor/selective/lenient enforcement of the rules.

They've been doing that for years with no indication of changing it. None of them can see themselves as being any part of the problem.

The greyhounds are racing infested with crooked "official" fleas.

The greyhounds will be sacrificed to protect the crooked fleas.

Can you be more specific?

What would happen if all New Zealand greyhound trainers went on the same two week holiday with the same notice given to them by the Racing Minister?

Nobody would hardly notice…more time on Trackside to look at other codes.

What is your take on NZ dogs not being able to be exported to Australia to race or breed?  If a NZ trainer can relocate to Australia to train do you think, when NZ government has already thwarted their livelihood, it is okay for them not to be able to take their competitive dogs too?  Should those dogs just be added to the list of rehomers?

I think they should be allowed to go.  Shame there isn't much money to challenge it legally.  That is what the supporters should be shouting.  Call the woke out big time.

Yes I agree.  If there's not enough money to challenge it I hope trainers and owners are talking with their MP's who were obviously voting blind on closing the entire greyhound industry.

If I was working my way towards a law degree this would be a fun project with a group of like minded students looking for a thesis subject.
