This is the official statement by Greyhound Racing NZ about the Government decision to end greyhound racing GRNZ Chair Sean Hannan described the decision as a “devastating blow” to the industry, which has invested significantly in reforms. “We are extremely disappointed that the Government has not recognised the work the industry has done to address […]
2900 greyhounds in New Zealand will need new homes by 1 August 2026. What happens to the dogs if that number of people or families can’t be found to adopt them? I guess you will have to ask the SPCA that question. Let’s just hope there are 2900 Homer Simpsons out there. Otherwise the Kiwi […]
122 dead greyhounds. All of them lost their lives on the race track. Most of them were put down by the on-course vet. It’s a hell of a trail of death and destruction isn’t it? My family have all owned greyhounds. Many of my mates still do. I’m not sure how I feel about that […]

Hey Archie Help a bloke out here & tell me how a trainer charged with animal welfare breaches can be given a stay of proceedings that allows them to continue to train? The parasite I refer to is Nicholas Howlett (pictured), the same trainer who raced a dog with cocaine in it’s system and tried […]
I never cease to be astounded about the massive contradiction between the devout faith in racing integrity espoused by the people who run the three codes in this State, and the records of people employed or licensed in Queensland under their rigorous regulatory watch. Here are just a few off the top of my head. […]
Now we’ve got an absolute fruit loop on the track. Someone get rid of him. I’ll get him myself! – Albion Park race caller If ever there was a case to make for live baiting it’s made by this imbecile who ran shirtless down the straight during race 8 at Albion Park last night. Not only […]
In June last year GRV Stewards conducted a without notice visit to the kennels of Victorian greyhound trainer Raymond ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd. They wanted to talk to Pretty Boy about a positive swab that one of his dogs had thrown to Testosterone Propionate, a banned anabolic steroid. Pretty Boy feigned shock when told about the […]
