Wanna See the Next Champion Greyhound? – Then Watch This Bloke
Want to see the next superstar greyhound? Then tune in to race 8 at The Gardens tonight. Like a Wildfire is the dog’s name. He is something absolutely out of the box. You can find the replays of his 4 career starts and wins to date below. They are worth looking at, just so you […]
Leading QLD Greyhound Trainer Throws 4 Positive Swabs
Graham and Leanne Hall, with 2022 Greyhound of the Year Spotted Elk The horse racing industry is taking a closer look at a relaxant that produces optimum results when administered within a few hours of a race. The drug, called GABA, which is gamma-aminobutyric acid, was banned by the United States Equestrian Federation in 2012. […]
There’s a Whole Lotto Shaking Going on at the Dogs
Did you hear that one of Queensland’s best known and most successful greyhound trainers won the lotto last weekend? He bought the ticket while out shopping, but had left his lotto card at home so he got a paper ticket. The bloke came home, threw the ticket in the drawer, and forgot about it. Come […]
They Say That Dreams Can Come True – If John Catton’s Black Flash Wins 1st Up Today at Ippy at Age 4 After 6 Months Away From the Track, Then I Guess We Will Have to Say They Are Right
We note with interest that our favourite greyhound Little Byrnes – aka the Black Flash – returns to racing in the 6th at Ipswich today, after a presumably injury enforced 6 months away from the track. Not many greyhounds make a successful comeback after that long away, especially dogs that are 4 years and 2 […]
Ring In! – The Punters Get Birched
The Wade Birch led Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission in NSW (GWIC) is doing a cracker of a job isn’t it? On Saturday night at The Gardens their Stewards let 2 kennel mates run as each other in a race. One of them won too. Shame it wasn’t the right dog. Four Joans was drawn […]
Man the Barricades Dog Fans – Mad Tash and Her Merry Band of Haters Are Moving In
How many of the animal activists who hate greyhound racing and want to shut it down actually keep a retired dog as a pet do you reckon? 2/3rds of 1/5th of SFA is my guess. Not knowing and loving the breed is no impediment to the vegan’s crusade though, it continues on apace. It’s not […]
Why Does Trav Have to Be a Heartbreaker?
Just take a look at the replay of the 4th race at the Rockhampton Greyhounds on Wednesday night, and keep your eye on 4 the the blue. Comical Travis it’s name. It’s the $2.60 favorite, and probably the biggest heart breaker that you’d ever see. Some dogs were just born to be rehomed as a […]
Preventing Bullying By Pushing People Out – Welcome to the Wild and Wacky World of the QRIC
LGHR has been reliably informed that in excess of 40 people – we find it hard to believe – have departed since the new ‘Dream Team’ took control of the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission. The old adage ‘dispense with those who represent a threat’ is alive and kicking at this under-performing, over-funded Labor Government enterprise […]
How QRIC Ended Animal Abuse, and Won the War
This is taken from this year’s QRIC annual report. The dud, totally oppositional outfit who think as a general rule that greyhound people like my mates and I are all grubs is reporting on their wonderful achievements in the financial year 2021/22. Aren’t they just brilliant? $30 million brilliant. Operational focus – achievements and challenges […]
