Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The strong mail emanating out of the Beehive in Wellington is that the kiss of death is about to be delivered to the New Zealand greyhound racing industry, and that it is all the industry’s own fault. It appears that the reforms that were required following a report to the Minister two years ago have […]
Sires on Ice. What the hell? Is this is a joke? Surely it has to be. But it’s not. Sires on Ice. Well I guess half of the Tasmanian racing industry is on it, so why not? Glass pipe jockeys rejoice. You’d think they’d be a bit more discreet about it though wouldn’t you? No […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
