Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s 9.43pm and race 8 at the Rockhampton dogs has just been run. There is a huge tip floating around that the meeting is about to be abandoned, for a reason that is scarcely believable in an multi hundreds of million dollar industry. I will tell you why if the tip proves correct.
The greyhound meeting at Sandown Park on Sunday looked suspiciously like a gallops program run on the poly track at the Gold Coast. There were 9 races run on the program. Only one of them had a full field of eight starters. One other had 7 runners. All the rest had fields of 6 or […]
The current owners of the greyhound Mackenna paid $160 ooo for the privilege. Most people, including us, thought they were mad. After last night it appears that it may have been us who were the crazy ones. Mackenna won his heat of the Golden Easter Egg in a scintillating 29.20 to advance to the semi-finals […]
Robert Camilleri is a one of Victoria’s leading greyhound trainers, and one of the top 20 in the country according to the latest stats. Camilleri’s long-term partner is a former NSW greyhound steward named Deborah Coleman. In other words, he is a very experienced and skilled trainer who has a defacto that knows the greyhound […]
The great problem that has always existed in the various Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) schemes instituted around the country in the wake of the live baiting scandals havebeen exposed by the announcement made in Queensland yesterday that the GAP kennels are full, and the intake of new greyhounds for rehoming has been temporarily halted.

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 […]
