Minister Don Page said: “For too long greyhound owners and adopters have battled the stereotype that the breed is an aggressive animal because it has had to wear a muzzle at all times while in public. This law and the Greenhounds program will change that perception and will no doubt encourage more pet lovers to choose a greyhound as one of their own.”

The Greenhounds program will be helpful to greyhounds. It will let them be around public places without muzzle, only with special green collar. After qualifying, they will be given the collar that they can wear when they are out. It will be provided, and will be with a Greenhounds tag that will contain a microchip number. Owners of greyhounds can already start trying the said program. They will find it really good, simply allowing greyhounds to be there in public places without muzzle, proving that they will not harm even without one if only will be also given the proper guidance. They can first know everything about the program.

Professor Percy Allan of Greyhound Racing New South Wales said: “The retiring opportunities for racing greyhounds will increase through Greenhounds as it allows the breed to be re-trained and assimilate into a family household environment. The Greenhounds program in conjunction with the introduction of microchipping for all greyhounds in NSW will also have a lasting effect on the ability of GRNSW to track the life cycle of a greyhound and significantly improve welfare of greyhounds right across the state.”

Brent Hogan of GRNSW said: “These changes will be rolled out over the vast majority of TAB tracks creating a world class integrity model to provide increased certainty and confidence to punters. The package of regulatory reforms and enhancements is consistent with a number of strategies outlined in GRNSW’s Strategic Plan Chasing 2020.”

For GRNSW, to also make greyhound racing, most especially the one in own state, be even better, the organization should adopt any new approach or the likes that will just really help. Indeed, the organization should be willing to make improvement happen. And by doing so, by actually adopting an advance policing approach for the race meetings and eventually having central control room, a lot of greyhound racing enthusiasts most especially in New South Wales will get to enjoy nothing else but amazing greyhound racing. It will also be not easy for the organization to but will seriously try to. Everyone can just hope for nothing else but only the best which is the success of the organization, just also for the good of everyone.

Hogan said: “Embracing technology can lead to improved governance, operational efficiencies and innovative ways of doing business and this regulatory reform will demonstrate that. Our ability to use resources within the integrity division more efficiently will also be advantageous upon the project’s commencement.”

Well, analysts report confirmed that the urine sample taken from Solitary Sam after winning at Betchoice Gardens on February 18, 2011 and also the one taken from Knocka Who after winning still at Betchoice Gardens on March 30, 2011 were found with prohibited substance 17 alpha-methyl-5alpha-androstane-3beta, 17 beta-diol and 17 alpha-methyl-5beta-androstane-3alpha,17beta-diol. But yes, some reports coming from German laboratories also revealed that the metabolites that the urine samples were said to be with can actually appear also with use of “dietary supplements” that are testosterone level boosters.

Indeed, it was also said that one “dietary supplement” has been very much available in the online market for those who want to boost their testosterone levels. The reports also revealed that the metabolites can also be seen in that of humans 181 to 189 hours after having one dose of the “dietary supplement”.

And, the Stewards, during their initial investigation, also heard Murray pleading guilty to a charge under GAR 83 (2) (a). They have actually heard him appealing responsible for the presence of Solitary Sam at The Gardens on February 18, 2011 indeed not free of prohibited substance. And they have made their first inquiry but then also had to adjourn. They have also confirmed that the investigations will continue, with another at the office of Betchoice Gardens Greyhound Racing Track on July 11. They have started with their initial investigation and must be true that they will just continue with the others.

The Greyhound Racing NSW Stewards finally put an end to the issue specifically between Bell and GBOTA employee Richard Abarcherli. The GBOTA employee actually said that a live animal was used in the catching pen of the Wentworth Park greyhound track after the trials that took place on the night of June 8, 2010.

According to the reports, evidence was taken from Abarcherli, other GBOTA employees Emil Sokolov and Charles Borg, trainer Bell, and other trainers Anthony White, Sid Swain and Michael Hooper. However, it was said that Bell was allowed to be represented by Glen Walters.

Abarcherli said that Bell used a rabbit from a box to attract two greyhounds he and White handled at the end of a trial. Bell then explained that the rabbit was purchased from someone outside track and was already dead when purchased and then was just placed in the box.

Considering the evidence obtained, Greyhound Racing NSW Stewards found that no charge under the Rules of Greyhound Racing could be filed. There will be no case to answer for Bell according to the Stewards. But then, the trainer was indeed reminded to be more acquainted with the rules on use of lures at different tracks as it was said that he also not followed recommendations for lure presentation at Wentworth Park same time.

Well, supporters of Bell can already feel good with their favorite trainer having no case to answer as far as the catching pen incident that was said to have occurred in June of this year is indeed concerned.

Mr Hogan said: “We see this as an excellent innovation that will promote the local breeding industry here in NSW. With such an attractive financial lure available to breeders, we were only too happy to work through the finer details to make the agreement official. Ultimately, the financial rewards for being the first Group race winner sired by Goodesy will be returned to a breeder in the industry and that sits comfortably within our goal of making the Greyhound Racing industry a financially attractive one.”

Mr Hogan confirmed that his entire organization was pleased by the $50,000 bonus to the first Group winner of the great sire Goodesy. Everyone in GRNSW believed that it could greatly improve the breeding interest of many and then could also elevate sires in NSW.

The incentive program for breeders will be good for couple of years. The breeder of the winner at a Group One, Group Two or Group Three level will get to bring home and enjoy a huge bonus in the few years to come. Thus, it is right that it could really help the industry’s breeders be more interested about breeding and everyone else be more into the NSW-based sires.

The incentive program could really help and Mr Hogan knew it could. Therefore, the Greyhound Racing NSW Chief Executive was glad with such wonderful program being created. It could really help the greyhound racing industry to have more participants.

But GRNSW considered several things before they refused to grant King the attendant’s license. One of the things they considered was King’s past record in relation to drug offences which for them was not good.

Eventually, GRNSW decided to not grant King the attendant’s license he was applying for. GRNSW believed that it won’t help to grant him the license.

For GRNSW, it was just right that King was given penalty of permanent disqualification considering the offences declared against him. And considering this, GRNSW also came up with a decision to not grant King attendant’s license.

But King badly wanted to return to racetracks and so after his application for attendant’s license was rejected he submitted an application to be allowed to return to racetracks without status in the industry. But then, it was also rejected. He was also deemed not worthy to be allowed to return to racetracks though with no status in the industry.

The fact that he was penalized to be disqualified for life was something really to consider for GRNSW. He was found guilty of corrupt conduct by the Greyhound Racing Authority Regulatory Committee and so was penalized to be permanently disqualified. He seemed not worthy of any racing license and he seemed not worthy as well even to return without status in the industry.

Well, King might have changed his ways after being disqualified for life. But then, GRNSW did not just consider granting him an attendant’s license or even allowing him to return to racetracks though without status in the industry. GRNSW found the two not worth doing.

The evidence was obtained from Mr. John Sweet, Mr. Kevin Gordon and of course Mr. Elliott.

To a charge under GAR 86 (e) of that he refused to be in the inquiry though was asked to be present, Mr. Elliott pleaded guilty. He was guilty of refusing to attend the inquiry despite of his presence to the inquiry being asked.

And because of refusing to attend the inquiry for the details of the scratching of Lochinvar Aramis, Mr. Elliott was penalized to be disqualified for a period of 6 months. In knowing the penalty to be given to the trainer, it was taken into account Mr. Elliott’s intention to really just disagree to attend the inquiry despite his presence being needed.

However, in hopes of not finalizing the inquiry, Mr Elliott was directed to submit phone records. And the trainer was informed of his rights to appeal.

Of course, we all have to follow authorities most especially if for settlement of issues, problems and the likes. But then, we don’t know what exactly made Mr. Elliott to disagree to the invitation for an inquiry. We don’t know what the trainer was thinking when he decided to miss the inquiry for the details of the scratching of his very own Lochinvar Aramis. We don’t say that he made the right decision to not follow authorities when they ordered him to attend an inquiry but he must have a reason that must be valid for him.

“This represents a new dawn for our sport as we look to position it appropriately for the challenges it faces in the medium to long term,” said GRNSW Chief Executive Brent Hogan. “Having racing on a Friday night at Wentworth Park will enable us to expand our core customer base and welcome new people to the sport. Before long, greyhound racing will be the only code to race in the city on a Friday night after scheduling changes in other sports.”

And according to the GRNSW Chief Executive, the K.S. Black & Co. Country Challenge Showdown will be the event that will show how successful Friday night racing can be. It will be an event to see.

“The K.S. Black & Co. Country Challenge Showdown will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase how successful Friday night racing can be at Wentworth Park,” said Hogan. “It marks the end of 10 months of exciting racing in the Country Challenge series all across the state and provides country owners and trainers with an opportunity to have their time in the limelight.”

K.S. Black & Co. will again be the sponsor for the Country Challenge Showdown. Partner Stuart Cameron was interviewed and expressed excitement with the decision of the famous accounting firm.

“We had a great time at the Showdown last year and can’t wait to see what type of interest it will generate on a Friday night this year,” said Cameron.

Betfair will indeed be the naming rights sponsor of the NSW Greyhound of the Year awards for the next two years as well as of the NSW Blue Paws Breeders and Owners Incentive Scheme. The firm will play a very important role no doubt.

And aside from being the naming rights sponsor of the awards events and the Scheme, Betfair will also be the official betting exchange partner of GRNSW, also for the next two years.

Brent Hogan, the GRNSW Chief Executive, believed that the partnership with Betfair will bring out good results particularly in growing the betting appeal of NSW greyhounds across all domestic markets and presence worldwide.

Mr. Hogan actually said that, “a partnership with Betfair makes business sense”. The firm can do a lot of things in exposing the products of GRNSW to a wider market. And that the firm is also like GRNSW in terms of approach.

The partnership is of course binded by a sort of a contract to keep everything settled. And also by something like an Integrity Deed that will set the standard in cooperation and formation sharing between the two to actually aid in ensuring the integrity of greyhound racing in general.

Betfair seems like delighted at the same time with regards to the partnership. Andrew Twaits, Chief Executive Officer of Betfair Australasia, said that “Betfair is delighted to form a partnership with such a progressive body with an appetite for growth and business development. The arrangement with GRNSW allows us to support programs and events at a state level and will eventually allow us take NSW Greyhound Racing to a much broader domestic and international audience”.

According to Professor Percey Allan AM, Chairman of the Board of GRNSW, Cameron’s report hold on to large and significant amount of research and preparation and so was welcomed by his colleagues. GRNSW was satisfied with how the report turned out.

“GRNSW is particularly pleased that Alan Cameron has recognized that the future sustainability of racing in NSW requires its three codes to be rewarded according to their relative contribution to racing turnover rather than each being guaranteed a fixed income share regardless of results,” Professor Percey Allan said.

Well, not to mention that Cameron’s report is promising. It may have some good effects to the greyhound industry itself. For Brent Hogan, Chief Executive of GRNSW, the report recognizes the greyhound industry’s ability to be flexible and seize opportunities as they arise. The review can boost industry’s potential to improve and to gain total success.

Also, Hogan said, “Greyhound racing has been able to achieve substantial growth, reflected in an increase in market share but despite this the Inter-Code agreement has not been amended to reflect this and the greyhound industry has not been rewarded for its achievements”. He added as well that, “the Inter-Code agreement has always provided a significant barrier to innovation and these recommendations by Alan Cameron will allow codes to be placed on a sustainable footing which will allow greyhounds to meet future changes in technology and be paid based on individual performance.”

By next year, on the 31st of January, GRNSW will provide a detailed response to the report or review.
