Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In recent weeks the logo and name of Swoosh Finance, the self-proclaimed proud sponsor of the Capalaba Greyhound Racing Club, has been splashed all over the nationally broadcast semaphore board displaying the results of races run at the Capalaba track. Now all of a sudden it’s disappeared. I wonder why? Why do you think? It’s […]
We have been threated with defamation action or similar by the lawyer for Swoosh Finance, the money lender sponsor of the Capalaba Greyhound Racing Club that featured in a few stories last week about the inappropriateness of the club promoting it on their media. This is our reply. The lawyers name is Parker, and as […]
Greyhound Racing Victoria have just released a set of proposed new national rules about screening limits for therapeutic substances, but if anyone out there can understand it without the assistance of a translator, then they are a whole lot smarter than me. The prosed new rules appear to set a limit under which the drugs […]
Victorian greyhound trainer Deborah Coleman was at one stage for many years a racing Steward at the dogs in NSW before she jumped the fence to pick up a collar and lead by joining the other side. It seems that the ex-stipe hasn’t quite realised that she’s no longer in charge of meetings any more, […]
The Group 1 Fanta Bale is the 2nd best staying series on the Victorian greyhound racing calendar, and is a race that is only won by the cream of the nation’s long distance running dogs. That makes Palawa King’s win last night in a semi-final of the series all the more outstanding. Have a look […]
Everyone’s favorite racing media personality Jason Bonnington has been absent from our screens since being forced to walk the plank from his job with HRV toward the end of last year, and a lot of readers have been inquiring after his health and wondering where he’s been. Well it’s now our great pleasure to be […]
I realize that a lot of dog folk have never been to university or past junior school, and that some through no fault of their own some are illiterate, so let me spell out what this part of the GRV plan means, and if you can’t read it get someone to read it out loud […]
Don’t believe a word of what you’re being told by GRV about it’s plan to make greyhound racing safer my moving all the races to one-turn tracks. It’s all just a smokescreen for the real plan. That secret plan is to force the Sandown and Meadows clubs to sell their tracks and the land they […]
Traditional two-turn greyhound racing at Sandown Park and The Meadows could well become a thing of the past following the release of Greyhound Racing Victoria’s (GRV) Infrastructure Discussion Paper on Wednesday. Now open for industry consultation, the eagerly awaited report – which has been months in the making – serves to futureproof the Victorian greyhound […]
Jeff Jones was a much loved greyhound trainer who through his efforts for trainers, owners and breeders to advance the industry via his involvement with GBOTRA gave back to greyhound racing as much as he got. Sadly Jeff died way too young – only the good do – but he is remembered through the memorial […]
