Yankiwi Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 What is GRNZ's definition of "permanent"? The 375m PN sprint distance moved to 410m on a permanent basis in 2018/2019. So how can you be racing sprints over a 375m distance there now? You said a dog was more likely to be injured from 375m. https://www.grnz.co.nz/Files/Health %26 Welfare Page/GRNZ Hansen Report - Year One Progress FINAL.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankiwi Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 (edited) PN has a nice new lure system, just like Manukau & Cambridge have too. But where are their 2014 safety rails? Race 5 today. Here we have #3 with the opportunity to crush her skull & #4 with the opportunity to amputate his left front leg, thru no fault of either of the dogs.

Yankiwi Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 #3 had a second opportunity to crush her skull after the #4 had his run in with the rail & wanted away from it in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Looks to me like the officials at Manawatu are becoming gun shy with the abandonment of their races yesterday. The antis are now ruling the roost. Track was running fine from most observation's until they talked themselves out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Here's some full transparency for GRNZ. No mention of the #4's front left leg over the rail? No vet check after the race for the #4? Welfare underpins everything we do, unless a dog very likely gets hurt. Part of GRNZ's reduced injury rate is due to not vet checking dogs which clearly should be checked after a race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice catch! I'm not too afraid to admit when I got one wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
