Arsenic Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 One of the first things that needs to be done is have all the betting sheets pulled up on this dog from Monday , this looks and smells like a complete con job on the Greyhound code in conjunction with a couple of stipes and a vet . Michael Godber you need to stand down these Stipes while this is investigated but not by the RIU as they cannot now be trusted , as we have all seen the RIU show all the hallmarks of corruption . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankiwi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Ok... So Jeff was scratched Friday night under rule 44.20 because of an "illness" (kennel cough), which seems legit. 44.20 Any injury or Illness detected by the Veterinarian or Authorised Person at the time of kennelling shall be notified to the Stewards by way of a Certificate of Incapacitation, which shall contain a recommended period of incapacitation. Such Greyhounds shall be withdrawn from the relevant Race and subject to Rule 56.5 shall not be eligible to compete in any Race during the recommended period of incapacitation. "Ask King Jeff Rule 44.20 from 08 Feb 2019 to 09 Feb 2019" Saturday Jeff was cleared to race ASK KING JEFF which was a late scratching at Wanganui on 08.02.19 when found to be suffering from kennel cough, was represented on 09.02.19. On that occasion, ASK KING JEFF was again examined by the Vet who found no evidence of kennel cough and under Rules 56.5 & 56.6 the original stand down was rescinded and the dog was subsequently cleared to continue with his racing program. Rules 56.5 & 56.6 read as follows... 56.5 Where a Greyhound is prohibited pursuant to Rules 40.10, 44.19, 44.20 and 56.1 from competing in any Race, the Trainer may: (a) subsequent to the day that a Certificate of Incapacitation is issued pursuant to Rules 44.20 and 56.1; or (b) in the case of a prohibition under Rule 40.10 or 44.19 subsequent to the day that a Veterinarian or Authorised Person’s gives his/her opinion that a Greyhound is In Season apply to a Steward(s) that the Greyhound be examined by an officiating Veterinarian or Authorised Person in the presence of a Steward in order to determine whether at the time the Greyhound is free of injury or is not In Season as the case may be. A Trainer shall be permitted to make only one such application. 56.6 If the Greyhound is found not to be suffering an injury or is not In Season upon an examination pursuant to Rule 56.5, the restriction imposed pursuant to Rules 44.19, 44.20 and 56.1 shall be removed immediately. Clearly rule 56.6 is not the correct rule as it only covers "injury" or "being in season" Jeff was scratched because of a respiratory illness (kennel cough)... Therefore, the correct rule to rescind the stand-down is 56.8 & 56.9. 56.8 Where: (a) A Greyhound is examined by the officiating Veterinarian at a Meeting and is found to be suffering from an illness or condition which affects or may affect its central or peripheral nervous system, its respiratory system or any part of those systems, or which in the opinion of that Veterinarian may cause erratic behaviour or unsatisfactory performance of the Greyhound in, or otherwise affect the true running of, a Race; or (b) The Board is notified at the hearing of an information or an objection or appeal that the Greyhound has such an Illness or condition; the Stewards shall order the Greyhound to be prohibited from competing in a Race until such time as a Veterinarian is satisfied that the Greyhound ceases to have any such Illness or condition. 56.9 Where a Greyhound is prohibited from competing in an Race pursuant to Rule 56.8, the Owner or Trainer may apply in writing to the Chief Steward for a further examination of the Greyhound by a Veterinarian. Before such examination, the Greyhound shall be required to complete a Satisfactory Trial in the presence and to the satisfaction of a Steward. Upon completion of a Satisfactory Trial, the Greyhound shall be examined by a Veterinarian approved by the Chief Steward or another Steward authorised by him/her. If the Veterinarian’s examination indicates that the Greyhound is in good health, he/she shall issue a certificate to that effect and the prohibition under Rule 56.8 shall cease to have effect immediately. Jeff did not take part in a satisfactory trial, therefore it had not right to be re-examined. Jeff had no right to be in the race & I hope connections of other dogs in the race file a protest of the results. Making up the rules as you see fit again Top Dog? Retire before your time runs out to do so. Edited February 12, 2019 by Yankiwi 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Obviously lay down the rules to accomodate the trainer . Both of these Stipes need their contracts terminated immediately . Talk about corruption , your silence is defanging Michael Godber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankiwi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 What has happened between Friday & Monday is Race (match) Fixing... INCA investigators should become involved at once! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CrossCodes Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It’s a given that the dog has to be disqualified surely? It was ineligible to race on Monday so it needs to go......as well as the Stipe who let this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This will define what Godber is made of... Harness race fixing - over the RIU's head & referred to the police. Greyhound race fixing - ??? He really has no choice other than get the police involved if he has even a sliver of integrity in him... Anything else... he's as corrupt as those that he oversees.

cichlid Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Who Oversees Godber Could Corruption spread even further than him? It has to be High Up In the chain perhaps as this behaviour has been going on and documented in many cases for a long time... Godber has to go and Whiterod for starters....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheats onion rings Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Every thing you say yankiwi is true. If you Google kennel cough it definitely doesn't cure overnight. I have lived true kennel cough and the coughing is so distressing. It's a worry about police involvement when his father in law is in police. Or so they so. It's a fixed up farce. Does Winston approve or shld I say Big time Winny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 So essentially this dog diagnosed by a vet on course as having kennel cough is scratched. Kennel cough is highly contagious. Two days later it has a miracle cure. Supposedly not vetted? Races and wins. Smells like a cur to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Per the rules, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether the actual ailment was kennel cough or not. What does matter, is that on Friday night it was diagnosed as "Kennel Cough"... On Saturday morning it may have become apparent to connections that the problem was actually "Kennel Cough", but that doesn't change the fact that the dog received an "illness" stand-down for it. Once a stand-down is declared for an "illness" then a whole different set of rules come in to play. Surely the professionals know this, that's what they are paid to know & enforce. Even if they are not sure, I'm sure they all carry a rule book with them when on the job. It seems this corrupt steward still doesn't understand that other can read the rule book too & at least I for one, am not afraid to call them to task when the get it so wrong. If I sensed things were on the improve, then maybe I'd start cutting them a bit of slack as they too are human. But things just seems to be getting worse & worse... This incident is very near the top of the list of those I've done "My" investigation over.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
