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.

Well, NSW GBOTA Executive Officer Brenton Scott actually confirmed that local management decided to make the first trial session at the new track of Maitland free of charge. According to Scott, the owners and trainers can test their greyhound or greyhounds at Maitland’s new track for free on July 2. The free trials were confirmed to be true after the completion of works at the said track was foreseen to be already finalized by the last weekend of June.

“Whilst the installation of the transition turn is a subtle rather than major change to the track configuration, the local Management Committee is keen to see as many greyhounds as possible put it to the test and so free trials will apply on July 2 from 7.30am to 11.30am,” Scott explained.

Field and single trials in all distances will be available and the tickets for these trials will be provided on arrival. On July 3 however the morning trial session will be with the normal fee structure.

Maitland will indeed return to racing with the twilight meetings on July 8 and July 9 with the nomination closing times being for July 8 with GRNSW at 12 Noon on July 5 and then for July 9 with GRNSW at 12 Noon on July 6.

Good thing that there will be free trials at the new track at Maitland. Greyhound owners and trainers can trial their greyhound or greyhounds for free. They can actually try racing their greyhound or greyhounds at the said track free of charge, something to just take advantage of.

The track upgrade works, covering the 400m start and the catching pen, were set to be actually completed by early July. Early next month, the 413 meter boxes will already be shifted and the racers could already have a safer start on to the bend. Instead of 413, the race will be over a distance of 400 meters. And also, the catching pen will already be re-located further around the track and the racers could have longer run-in.

GRNSW has indeed approved the $45,000 funding to support the accomplishment of the track upgrade works at the famous Newcastle circuit.

GRNSW Chief Executive Brent Hogan has talked about the track upgrade works and seemed just happy to do so.

“The Hunter region is such a strong greyhound area and in the space of a month the two neighboring tracks are being upgraded to improve both greyhound safety and the quality of racing,” said Hogan. “The projects fit squarely within the pillars of the Board’s soon to be released Strategic Plan which highlights the need for ongoing track improvements to ensure the welfare of the greyhounds and consistency for punters.”

Three race meetings can actually get affected by the track upgrade works and therefore were decided by the officials to be moved. Of course, no race meeting shall be interrupted and the officials should just ensure that no race meeting shall really be interrupted.

To be specific, the trainer was only ordered to fine $1500. Well, he can consider himself fortunate. It was a serious offence he committed but he was not suspended or up to something else equally serious.

The GRNSW Stewards indeed performed a serious inquiry into reports about Dashing Corsair positive swab result. However, the inquiry didn’t happen early then and so the National Sprint Champion aside from racing and being second in the second heat of the Gold Cup even raced and also be second to Lochinvar Vogue in the final event.

We believe Lennon can really consider himself fortunate as despite of being guilty to a charge under Greyhound Racing Rule 83 (2) (a) for allowing Dashing Corsair to run despite not being free of Ketoprofen only faced a fine of  $1500. And of course, his Dashing Corsair was only required to be disqualified from Race 6 Hesa Felon @ Stud Gold Cup Ht 2 and then from 2010 Group 2 Wentworth Park Gold Cup.

Now, the Race 6 Hesa Felon @ Stud Gold Cup Ht 2 placings:

1st – Forty Twenty

2nd – Lochinvar Vogue

3rd – Chilli Pug

And, the 2010 Group 2 Wentworth Park Gold Cup placings:

1st – Lochinvar Vogue

2nd – Chilli Jim

3rd – Blue Lorian

In determining the penalty, certain things were put into consideration just like the trainer’s unblemished record in relation to the Rule or previous penalties in relation to the Rule, the nature of the substance which the greyhound turned positive to, and the effects that findings have on the Greyhound Racing image.

And because of such decision of GRNSW to conduct out of competition testing of greyhounds, specifically of greyhounds set to run in the said races, a lot of bettors were so glad then and became certain to bet; this still according to news reports.

The goal of the greyhound racing body was revealed then and just mainly about finding which among the greyhounds will become questionable in regards to use of erythropoietin or better known as EPO, as well its derivatives.

There were already tests for EPO and its derivatives conducted before however were made only during the race night samples. Thus, we all should praise GRNSW for its decision to make such out of competition testing of greyhounds possible.

We believe that GRNSW will push through with the out of competition testing of greyhounds. In fact GRNSW CEO Brent Hogan said, “Out of competition testing will now form a key component of GRNSW’s ongoing prohibited substance detection strategy.”

Now bettors can put their bets without trouble. They can feel confident about betting on their favorites. So with this being said, the governing greyhound racing body for New South Wales must be really admired. The news reports seem true for us. Such governing greyhound racing body stood for what is right and that is to bring the integrity of greyhound racing to new heights. It showed everyone that a participant in greyhound racing like a governing greyhound racing body for an instance must be responsible in bringing change as far as the integrity of greyhound racing is concerned.

However, the project can be considered costly, with it costing as much as $945,000. The Greyhound Racing New South Wales or GRNSW is the one in-charge to financially support the said project. However, it can’t do so alone.

Thus, local and state governments should give financial assistance so the Goulburn project be finally completed.

Chairman of the Board Professor Percy Allan AM explained that it should be their obligation to support the said project however they can’t support it most especially alone just considering it being costly. The Chairman explained that they don’t have enough funds to support it all alone, thus they need aid from other sectors.

“The Goulburn City Council had previously indicated their willingness to support the project in part as it forms part of their long term plans for a larger redevelopment of the site,” Professor Allan said.

The Chairman knew beforehand that they would really need the help of other sectors to be able to complete the Goulburn project.

“For the greyhound facilities we will be asking the Goulburn City Council and the NSW State Government to share in providing the cost of the redevelopment with each chipping in a third of the cost,” Professor Allan added. “GRNSW will provide a third and also cover any over-runs on the original costing.”

The Goulburn project will actually provide greyhound racing enthusiasts a new kennel block and judge’s tower if will only be completed. Thus the other sectors, local and state governments, just have the good reason to say yes to the aid that’s badly needed now. The project just needs to be completed!

Though the Canberra event has attracted some other brilliant greyhounds to race, it was Miss Peru that managed to take home the prize.

Early on, there was trouble that Miss Peru should overcome but then she successfully did so and then beaten Izmir’s Warrior and Artistic Osti in 25.61 that of course led her to winning the prize for her connections and supported charity.

The black bitch was naturally full of strength then to beat anyone, to beat everyone.

Yass trainer Neil Staines slept soundly after the event considering the win of Miss Peru and the win also with Galba Magic and a third to Vallee Rattler.

In the Anytime Fitness 600m, the support final, More To State charged to the line for Gary Smith just outwitting Pack and Guns. The trainer was wrapped with the win, taking eight starts to conquer the ACT track.

While Gunning trainer Andy Lord amended second of Pack and Guns with the solid wins from Brassed Off, Half As Mate and American Spot in the rest of the meeting.

On the other hand, Denice Warren topped her last week amazing results with a win to Berella Laura. Also worth mentioning is the success of I’m The Cure and Highland Abbey for being top qualifiers in the Brian Scott Memorial heats.

And Aranda, after being consistently in place for some weeks, got the chance for being the tenth winner of the evening event. A great delight to connections indeed.

Sunday, racing continued. There will actually be racing every Sunday of this month until next month.

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.

The Monday Meltdown, The Inside Word or The Friday Gospel subscriptions are good source of selections to be followed for all upcoming race meetings.

Johnny’s Best Bet has saluted on two of the three occasions, across the last three Wentworth Park meetings. However, of greater interest is his performance in the Quaddie. Well, after missing the Quaddie last 14th of November 2008 by just 3/4 length in the only leg he missed, he has tipped the Quaddie successfully to subscribers of a certain publication for the last two meetings at Wenthworth Park.

* * *

Quaddie on Saturday 29 November – Bet – $20 for 15.63% and you would have earned $38.85

Quaddie on Monday 1 December – Bet – $20 for 20.41% and you would have earned $281.44

Basically, figures aren’t bad for a $40 investment on the greyhounds.

Typically, weekly email publications are available for free. If interested, all that is needed is a simple sign up at a greyhound site. Weekly email publications are not to cause any mess but rather could extend some help.
