Do your job Whiterod

Brenda could sort this out perhaps?  This crap has been going on  for far  too long. Mr.Godber always looks,  But,  is not up to the Task..

I think change of owners there Yankiwi

[Yankiwi]

That well could be Lad, if the RIU misunderstood the GRNZ rules about such occurrence.

The Fahey kennel (yes TRAINER has sole responsibility for nomination) nominates the dog for Tuesdays meeting & scratches it.

The Fahey kennel also nominates the dog for tonight meeting (Note: the Fahey kennel also must have nominated for its last race the dog won under the Fahey banner on the 11th).

 

The rule reads....

40.6 Notwithstanding Rule 40.5 a Greyhound which has had a trainer change between Nomination and race day may be withdrawn by the new trainer without penalty.

 

For avoidance of any doubt, Rule 40.5 (noted in rule 40.6) is as follows

 

40.5 If a Greyhound is drawn into a Field at a Totalisator Meeting and holds an engagement at a Non-Totalisator Meeting, the Greyhound can be withdrawn from the Non Totalisator Meeting without Penalty except where such non Totalisator Race is a qualifying Race for a totalisator Group or Feature Race.

Dog was withdrawn under rule 40.7 with permission 

[Yankiwi]

40.7 A Greyhound which has been included in the Box Draw for a Meeting or after qualifying for a Semi Final or Final at a Totalisator Race and is not presented to Race, shall be Suspended for 28 days unless permission has been granted by the Stewards for the Greyhound to be withdrawn, or the reason for the non-attendance is submitted in writing to the Stewards of the day who may then reconsider the Penalty.  An Owner or Trainer of a Greyhound may seek a review, by a Judicial Committee, of any decision under this Rule in accordance with Rule 66.20. 

 

So the Fahey kennel was granted a "get out of jail for free" card by top dog. Why wasn't this recorded in Tuesdays Stewards report unless they were trying to hide/cover up this potential "favouritism" for the kennel of a board member? Surely there had to be a very good reason other than something like I forgot to put him in the trailer or I wanted to save him for his box 1 draw Thursday night.

 

Gonna have to get far more cunning than this Gavin Jr.

Two strikes in less than a week.

[Guest CrossCodes]

So in other words if you are in favour with the stipes you can accept and scratch penalty free every week, sounds fair ??

[Yankiwi]

So if Sheza Rippa was scratched from race #4 under rule 40.7, why isn't it reported in the Stewards report?

Something very dodgy happened here.

[Guest CrossCodes]

Surely at the very least they have to put in the Stipe report the reason Wallis allowed the dog to be scratched penalty free?

Its not a good look to just allow these things to occur with no explanation given?

[Yankiwi]

I'm not sure what this is all about from Dunedin today but it can only be a good thing I suppose.

JUDICIAL REPORT:- 1). Stewards called a meeting with Club officials prior to the meeting in relation to a breach in the Kenneling process. As a result of this meeting the Club undertook to provide extra training to their staff in relation to kenneling and what is expected from individuals when performing their duties in this role.

What training in greyhounds does NZGRA provide these Muppets.

Basically it sounds like to check that they ,(the greyhounds ) have 4 legs and a head.

[Yankiwi]

Now I can see why the track kennel was under the microscope. 

 

[Mischief managed]

Doesnt slow them down like you would think. Reakon she would take a few on around the track still

[Clarkie]

And this is what Stinks about Greyhound Racing Mischief. I am guilty too of what seems to be the accepted practise of  putting healthy dogs down that have past their  use by date.(On Vets Advice) My last attempt to save a 4 month old pup that a vet had damaged his leg while attempting his birth ended in him not responding to having his leg amputated. It is Too easy for dogs on Race Day to be "Put Down" in some cases, for as minor as a broken toe. Vets get Paid over $100 for  around $10 outlay to Snuff a dogs life for good...A good days profit on top of what they get for their Race day duties. Until this Race Day practise is curbed and dealt to  it will always be a Negative for the sport....
