Scratching Rules on Trial Dogs to be Enforced by GHHRA Stewards

Posted by Mary in Greyhound Betting News on 12 4th, 2008 | no responses

It was confirmed, the Stewards of Greyhound and Harness Racing Regulatory Authority (GHHRA) will be enforcing scratching rules on trial dogs. GHHRA Stewards now would like to inform everyone, owners and trainers, that it was finalized yesterday, Wednesday, 3rd of December 2008, that there will be enforcement of compulsory 10 day incapacitation stand-downs on all scratchings. This of course will affect entire New South Wales.

Actually, there’s already a “10 day rule” on New South Wales however it has only been applied to official race scratchings and greyhounds scratched from qualifying trials have been allowed to scratch without penalty. So now, New South Wales GHHRA finalized to organize things and decided to somehow impose a better rule.

Finally, effective 1st of January next year, 2009, in accord with Rule 23(4), NSW GHRRA Stewards will impose a 10 day incapacitation certificate on all greyhounds scratched from all qualifying trials. This of course to be mainly applied in New South Wales.

Right now, various reactions, positive as well as negative reactions are to be expected from individuals to be affected by the scratching rule. But of course, no rule was made to create chaos. Every rule has a purpose and all for the betterment of the society and of the people in it.
