Dont agree on Fogarty...to me sounds like an AI robot......Hopefully Cookson can get a gig somewhere as yes he is a good caller. The Aussie down south could be replaced...also ordinary I believe....anyway my 2c worth. -

Well said. We (racing) could well be in for a shit fight in the not-too-distant future and given the big stakes increases this season it will be interesting to see how the rich and famous of NZ racing can meet and repel what will definitely come. Will showjumping and eventing also be in their sights? Probably.

Also, Kiwis using a VPN while betting with an overseas corporate will have absolutely no rights. For example, the bookie can refuse to pay out a big win and there'll be no comeback because it was illegal for us to even place the bet. So I also think VPNs are not an option. -

Whilst talking about Trackside, I wonder what that will mean for their Greyhound commentators and so called 'form experts'. Like Andy McCook who is one of the best commentator's in the country, has called mostly puppies in his career, what is he going to do? With 3 commentators in Canterbury there are not enough meetings for 3 staff full time anyway. He has been excellent with the Harness but I highly doubt they will let Dan Fogarty (a great young talent) and Matt Cross go. There will be little room for Mark Rosanowski in the future as he has always been Greyhounds. Pip Morris has sort of moved into more of the Galloping game over the couple of years so her future looks safe as she can focus more on that with presenting and magazine type shows more often. I think she has been doing a fine job personally. And good riddance to Stothart, get rid of him now. My point out of all of this, is are they going to retain the four of them? If they only keep 1 or 2, is this a chance to upskill with a topnotch presenter from Australia and be lured over here like Jayne Ivil and Brittany Graham and lift our table up a bit higher?

I do have sympathy for the dogs, largely on the basis that how many humans die or are permanently disabled playing rugby or falling off mountains every year and yet there is no suggestion of banning those "sports". I don't recall any humans dying through greyhound racing. I do find it hypocritical that the wowser minority, aided by a compliant media, do like to pick on the low hanging fruit. They will be empowered now. Jumps racing will be next, and then onward. -

I hear you, and unfortunately it is such a small minority that have given greyhounds such a bad wrap. They were not dealt with by the industry, and continued to thrive. There are many awesome people in the industry that just love their dogs, they are the ones I feel for. The bad buggers know who they are, and you can thank them and an ineffective GRNZ for its demise.

I agree. I think you will need a residential address and bank account in the country you are betting and use a VPN from that country. They may also make it illegal with severe penalties if you get caught doing that. Have to wait till we see the bill but I expect I may have to give up betting on NZ racing if not altogether. -
Well the minority succeeded against the Dogs and I have little doubt horse racing their next target We have to be 2 steps ahead of them. GRNZ lacked the leadership to control their industry and a banning was inevitable, with an air of self destruction
-
I could be wrong on this but I don't think a VPN will suffice. Won't the offshore agencies just close any accounts that have NZ addresses?

You seem surprised Mikenz is usually well off the mark with his posts.
-
Where will Entain NZ profits go to Nick Roberts??- More NZTAB nonsense. Besides anyone can get a VPN and circumvent geo blocking
-
Mike's questions are usually unreasonable and at times bordering on stupid. As i said go back and look at his previous posts , they substantiate my position on him

Greyhounds make fantastic pets, calm, laid back, affectionate, my old bloke is feeling some aches and pains now ( he's twelve ) but still does acrobatics over the furniture when I get home from work! No idea what your daughter is referring to. Yes, some of these lovely dogs have been treated terribly, esp.by the bigger operations. My experience with some smaller ones is that some of the retired models shift from the kennels to the couch in front of the TV. The sad thing is that there won't be enough homes for all these dogs, the hypocritical SPCA is mouthing platitudes while destroying thousands of domestic dogs every year. Rehoming, they don't do very much, that seems to be left to numerous volunteers who do their best, but again, many lovely dogs just miss out. Councils need to be more vigilant about unlicensing breeders, cracking down on the puppy mills, etc, and try and reduce the sad outcomes.
