Newmarket Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I am at Reefton today. Seen many dogs on track, now I have just seen 5 in the stabling area??? What are the rules on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Is this a "Where's Wally?" question? I can only count 3 in that picture. I assume they have all been pre-race swabbed and are there for security purposes and for the detection of RIB investigators! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Even then one of them is more like a hairy rat excuse for a dog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newmarket Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 5 x I counted in stabling area, 3 in picture. Not every stable has a dog, I thought dogs on course was against the rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to race meetings where dogs were allowed as long as they were on a lead. Been to a couple of gallops meetings where GAP where there with Greyhounds for Adoption.

Wobbly Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) It is up to each individual club if dogs are allowed on tracks. As many trainers, including ourselves, have dogs as long they are on leads and well behaved there is no problem at all. Most of the trainers dogs are around horses everyday of the week and are use to horses. some dogs are more well behaved than some on course patrons!

Yes very rarely do you see canines climbing the fence naked and inebriated. From my experience on the rarely occasion that dogs have caused a problem they have come from adjoining properties and not brought on course.

All very well saying your dogs are good around horses but the question is are all horse's good around dogs. I can tell you from personal experience and three laps around the woodend carpark being dragged by a horse no they are not. Fine on course but not in stable area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god Unhinged, somebody with a brain. Signs everywhere stating who can and can’t enter the stabling area, didn’t see…anyone with a mutt is welcome. I like dogs, but from a H&S aspect why would you allow dogs in the stabling area, some horses and trainers may not want dogs around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefton Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The rule on the course is no dogs on the course BUT...... To my frustration most people seem to ignore it. Our meeting was awash with dogs and Kumara yesterday the same some of them unleashed as well. Of course the Reefton track does a fair trade in campervans and caravan parks and plenty of that group have hounds. Think there might be some action the first time one runs on a track during a race but until then.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have more trouble with the humans running onto the tracks there. ? rather than dogs. That bloke in Wellington gave the jocks a bit of a fright not long ago. That was freaky.

Mind you Aquaman, You probably assume I don’t like dogs, or even want your beloved greyhound sport to continue. That’s not the case, sadly the greyhound brigade only have themselves to blame if the sport is banned. Probably hot heads like you that have not helped over the years, the sport has been run by arrogant clowns in a pathetic circus for years. So, do I want dog racing banned, I couldn’t care one way or the other, never bet on them. Do I think dogs should be allowed to race meetings, no.

Why don't you see dogs around the Stables at Addington or Alex Park, simply because they have health and safety plans in place. Smaller clubs run by volunteers seem to think the same rules don't apply, sad news is they can still get prosecuted. If you knowingly ignore a known hazard you are liable, simple as that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Can I politely ask why citizens of NZ that have made an educated decision not to have 2 jabs of a toxic substance injected into their bodies, are also not allowed oncourse?
