as long as they appoint someone who can actually read a race and give a proper report.

spot on Penny its not to much to ask for....its not Rocket science..!!!

seems now that the stewards in hobart are doing the veterinary checks on dogs before kenneling after the vet was considerably late at the hobart meeting held last night
can a steward authorise another steward to do veterinary tests on dogs to compete on race night ?????? hmmmm very interesting that one cheers chub.

After opening the kennels 15min'a late to start with chub,we then never had a vet.... an one known Steward decided to do the vet check himself,which was more like patting the dogs at a show than a vet check,then proceded to tell us that the dogs will be checked by a vet properly when we get them out ready for to race,which also didn't happen.......what a hoot last night was..!!!

well can anyone tell me about the rumour that at the NWGRC a fortnight ago that a certain trainers dog was to be swabbed after locking the dog away and then getting it out the ladle was apparently contaminated so then the specimen container/s had powder or something similar in or on them and other specimen seals were opened and couldnt be used so then they decided to do a mouth swab and proceeded to drop all the mouth swabs and so couldnt use them if this RUMOUR is true the circus is getting worse cheers chub.

200% correct Chub...no Rumour mate its facts...!!!!!

chub post an part of rumour nwgrc prevented a dog from having a swab. box1 writes 200% correct chub no rumour mate its facts . well if this is fact there should be federal police investergation in to nsw racing offocials..from the top to the bottom. and sacking should be on the agenda.

its not in nsw cheyenne its in tasmania
which doesnt surprise me one little bit the sooner they get a NEW CHIEF STEWARD the better there wasnt this much trouble with the last two chief stewards
so who employs these latest stuff up stewards god do some good for the whole greyhound industry and employ someone who can do the right thing jesus is it that hard ?.

All interesting comments.Did a greyhound pass away in the kennel block at Devonport a couple of weeks ago .Was mentioned in stewards report I think.Does rule say an autopsy should be performed?I have been waiting for the results. to be published.PLB

What happened to Amanda Hill?? She was a very good steward when she was in Victoria always tough but one of the fairest, was a shame to lose her. Rumours ran rife over here about her but I doubt she was doing anything they said..... she was not that kind of person!
