Yankiwi Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Hey Top Dog. I see you have a different way of reporting the Auckland races but that doesn't change what's happening on the track. These two dogs should have had a vet check post-race & should have been recorded as contacting the rail in your report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when it does, I'll record it as a rail strike. GRNZ dropped the ball and didn't protect the then injured dog from the rail like they claimed they were going to.

That's not repetitive, it's consistent, just like all the dogs making contact with the running rail in Auckland. I'll keep pointing out your analysis is flawed. You don't attempt to eliminate bias. From my observation IF dogs are hitting the running rail it isn't the rail or the lure it is more likely the camber of the track or the way it is groomed. To eliminate that you need to do an analysis on those dogs that had soft tissue injuries that DIDN'T hit the rail and compare with other tracks.

Yankiwi Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 Seems with what they posted yesterday, GRNZ agrees with what I've highlighted & plan (again) on implementing what they said they were going to undertake 9 years ago.

Yankiwi Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Same dog twice in one race. Then this one slipped the eyes of the Steward. No surprises to why this then happened.

Yankiwi Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 With only 1 Sunday left in the month for racing in Auckland, I'm looking forward to seeing their new safety rail being installed to protect dog from making contact with the running rail. Afterall, GRNZ claimed to the Govt that it would be installed by late November. https://www.grnz.co.nz/Files/Quarterly Reports/Final GRNZ Quarterly Report 31 July 2023.pdf 4th Quarter. Year to date.

Yankiwi Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 No new safety rail on Sunday. For some reason I'm not surprised. Another missed deadline (even after 10 years from when they first signaled it) from the outfit that claims welfare underpins everything they do.

Chief Stipe Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 NEW ZEALAND AUCKLAND REGION5 Dec 2023 SAFE welcomes confirmation of end of greyhound racing at Manukau stadium 11:25 pm on 5 December 2023 The inquiry will look into aspects of the racing and breeding of greyhounds.File pic Photo: Photosport An animal rights group says it is delighted with the decision to remove the greyhound racing track from the Manukau Sports Bowl. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board announced last Friday that a new athletics track will replace the greyhound track. The local board said the change was part of a plan, aiming to guide the development of the stadium for the next 30 years. Auckland Council's development arm Eke Panuku is working on a business case for funding to pay for the track, which will be constructed on the site of the greyhound track.

Photo: LDR / Stephen Forbes The Save Animals from Exploitation group's (SAFE) campaigns manager, Anna de Roo, said it was a huge win for both animals and the community. "This is just another indication that the social licence of greyhound racing has well and truly expired. From our political leaders at the debating table, to now our local communities, the sentiment of New Zealanders is clear: Greyhound racing's time is up. "New Zealand is one of only a handful of countries to legally allow commercial dog racing. Here, the industry is enormously unpopular with 74 percent of New Zealanders saying they would vote to ban greyhound racing in a referendum," she said. De Roo said 40 percent of greyhounds in the latest racing season were injured. Meanwhile, Greyhound Racing New Zealand's chief operating officer Liz Whelan has acknowledged that the masterplan for the venue has been adopted. However, Whelan said the implementation dates were yet to be confirmed. She said negotiations were continuing between Auckland Greyhound Racing Club and Auckland Council. The council said its leasing staff were working with the club on moving the racing away from the stadium to make possible the track's development.

Sorry Chief, my initial focus was solely on rail contact, until you shifted that goalpost and brought the potential injuries from the contact into the equation, which I then widened the scope to suit your needs. The RNZ debate is all yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Where's the safety rail? Was first supposed to be installed 9 years ago. Now more recently, was supposed to be installed by 2 weeks ago. Asking for the #1 dog here. Since welfare is paramount & underpins everything they do, why are they racing on the track after identifying that Auckland had the most urgent need for a safety rail? Words are cheap coming from GRNZ & that's one of their biggest problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
