Two dogs in this image can't see the lure trolley cover over the rail. The other 6 can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, a dog that makes contact with the rail because it was forced down on to the rail by interference from another dog didn't strike the rail. Got it. Now your turn. Why is it that Auckland has such an elevated occurrence rate when compared to the other NZ tracks? Edited August 14, 2023 by Yankiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankiwi Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Three more steel medals were awarded in Auckland today, two of which ended with 10-day injuries. https://www.grnz.co.nz/catch-the-action/15591/stewards-report.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankiwi Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Wayne, this time it's one of the dogs your wife owns & you both train. Craig & Jean, you both can see the serious problem with this track. Corey, you're in there too. Between the four of you around the GRNZ board table, surely you can get the ball rolling to get this problem sorted out. It pissed your dog off as much as it pisses me off.

Yankiwi Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) This isn't a regular occurrence at Addington or Hatrick. Stewards report for today likely to be written in blood red.

Yankiwi Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 RIB, you missed at least one. The #1 didn't blink because it is camera shy, it blinked because its left rear leg hurt because it bounced off the steel running rail twice. Since Mr. Steward was seen out on the track all day, it was Ms. Steward that didn't even bother to mention it in her report or have the decency to call for a vet check after it happened, therefore she is part of the problem in the north.

It can't have hurt that much. It got pushed down onto the rail and kept on running home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog's also get interfered with in Christchurch. 1 in 5 races in Akl have a rail contact. 1 in 100 races in Chch have a rail contact. Have a look at the head-on footage (0:57 on) of the #4 dog in race #2 today. You might learn something about what I have been telling you for some time.

Yankiwi Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Remember these first two images Chief? Auckland Christchurch The #4 (Blue) in race 2 yesterday. Chasing the lure. Just after it changed focus from the lure to the trolley. The moment it realized oh shit, the rail is going to be in the way (a bit too late). Full right rudder & ^5ing the chain link fence with the tail. Ouch. And then a mention in the Stewards report for the potentially deadly experience (especially if its tail got caught in the fence or the left rear leg came down on the inside of the rail). BUCKLAND RIG (4) - referred to the Veterinarian after shifting inwards entering the first turn then abruptly outwards away from the rail making brief contact and cleared of injury. Since Buckland Rig was cleared of injury, I'll be looking forward to seeing it line up in Cambridge, Auckland, or even both, later this week. I've got a funny feeling that it won't be and might need a "brief" spell. Edited September 3, 2023 by Yankiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a funny feeling that it won't be and might need a "brief" spell. Let's find out just how free of injury Buckland Rig is after being awarded his steel medal. Nominations for Cambridge on Thursday closed last Friday, two days before it came into contact with the rail in Auckland. On Thursday, he's been drawn into box #5 in race 9. 7:30am on Thursday will likely show just how free of injury a greyhound can be after "making brief contact" with the running rail just 4 days prior. My gut says the #9 or #10 will be entering the #5 box for race #9. Also of note - he has not been drawn into next Sunday's meet in Auckland, further suggesting he didn't end up being as injury free as was reported.

Yankiwi Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Well well well, Buckland Rig has not been scratched by the cut-off time. Hopefully he makes it past the pre-race vet check & goes on to win the race. If he was fit after his steel medal award on Sunday & fit again a couple of hours before his run today, there's a mountain of money to be made here. A PBD race, so he's starting from when he likes it. An excellent track/distance record. The second fastest track/distance winning time in the field. In a C2 race which is a grade he has won in before. Surely a $1k each way fixed odds bet will land you a minimum $200 profit with a placing at these odds & if things go his way, it could be a $9200 nest egg. How much do you trust the professionals that he is 100% ready to make you wealthy? Edited September 6, 2023 by Yankiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this time he did at Cambridge, where there's no lure cover attached to the rail, which is the same size, general shape & colour of the actual lure he's supposed to chase. Glad I was able to tip him out for you to pocket $200 (10% profit) which had a potential for a huge upside if you were willing to trust the professionals.

Well they don't according to your statistics they have a 66% greater chance of injury if they make contact with the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
