The Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club (BGRC) is the exemplar of how to run a race club, as it has proven once again by the outstanding results revealed in this year’s annual report. This is a club that was floundering a decade ago, having recorded 5 successive years of end on end losses, but under the […]
In a strange but progressive and welcomed twist of fate, just a week after posting a brilliant result for yet another financial year – it’s tenth on end – soon the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club may be no more. At next week’s club AGM it’s members will be asked to vote on an amalgamation with […]
The usual small rabble of anti-racing animal activist zealots were there outside the Million D0llar Chase last night chanting ‘shut it down, shut it down’ to nobody but themselves, while thousands of racing lovers were inside enjoying a great night of greyhound racing.

His name is Les Kenyon. There you go. We don’t know who the other person involved is. Whoever they are, how about this for an idea? We put them on a lure and let the hounds hunt them at high speed unmuzzled. How do you reckon the live Baters – oops, baiters – would like […]
This is a supplementary report that the NZ Government asked the Racing Integrity Board to produce about how to shut greyhound racing in that country down. Why would they ask for such a thing if they didn’t intend to do it? They didn’t ask for a report into keeping the industry going did they? This […]
We wrote the story pictured above about 3 weeks or so ago, well before it hit the news. Well I guess we made the news really, well before anyone else. Some of us keep our nose close to the ground. At the time we said that we hoped the footage when released wouldn’t take the […]
One state has leapt to action in response to a shocking video which shows racing animals being abused by a trainer.
