STRAIGHT TRACK EOI PROCESS UNDERWAY Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) has called for expressions of interest from GRNSW registered clubs to conduct straight track race meetings.

The introduction of straight track racing is seen as a key welfare initiative for GRNSW in its objective to reduce racing-related injuries and improve welfare outcomes for racing greyhounds.

Under the terms of the expressions of interest, the successful applicant would stage 26 TAB meetings on a straight track in the initial 12-month period.

SA News Raw Ability wins Adelaide Cup.

and Worm Burner all excellent performances but had no G.R.S.A luck in running.

Raw Ability is owned by Anthony’s partner Kylee Osborne and everyone in the presentation area could tell it was an emotional victory for the family. Tonight’s victory took Raw Ability’s career earnings to $125,000. with a record of 13 wins and 5 placings from just 24 starts.

Friday the 13th is normally unlucky for some but for Anthony Azzopardi it will go down as one of the his luckiest days after his up and coming chaser Raw Ability stamped himself as a star of the future when he took out the Group 1 UBET Adelaide Cup final last Friday night.

Earlier in the week the son of Barcia Bale and Bugatti Flyer was at double figure odds to take home the $75,000 first prize however he was strongly supported tonight to start on the fourth line of betting at $6.50.

In front of close to 1,200 people on course, to see one of the best Adelaide Cup line ups in recent history Raw Ability began well from box 4 to challenge for the early lead with strong local hope High Eden Frost for Jan Jones who made full use of his inside box.

Race favourite Bewildering for Seona Thompson began well and moved up stylishly from his wide box.

Locally owned cult hero Worm Burner was slow out along with Zara’s Entity both finding themselves at the tail of the field. Leaving the front straight both High Eden Frost and Raw Ability matched their motors with Aston Dee Bee for Seona Thompson pushing up behind the leaders before running wide and shoving his kennel mate Bewildering wider.

Striker Light moved to third along the inside chasing out after the leaders. Down the back straight and Raw Ability made his move racing to the front of the back straight with High Eden Frost battling on strongly and Aston Dee Bee striding into third. Turning for home Raw Ability was in full flight and raced down to the finish line a convincing winner by 3 lengths in a blistering 29.50 for the 515m journey.

Aston Dee Bee claimed a gallant High Eden Frost in the shadows of the post to run second with only a neck separating them. Highlighting the evenness and quality of the field there was just over 6 lengths between first and last with the likes of Bewlidering, Zara’s Entity

GCA News While Robert flew her to Sydney from Melbourne for the heats I prefer to drive so she came by car for the final.

“But nothing fazes her, it doesn't matter whether she comes by plane or car, she is an absolute professional.”

Fanta Bale has now won 33 races from 49 starts and will now return to Victoria to tackle the upcoming group races in that state.

Rhonda Singleton was at Wentworth Park on Saturday night and sent us these photos.

Fanta Bale wins the Sydney Cup

Fanta Bale (August 2014 David Bale x Ucme Typhoon*), aptly described as “a machine” by trainer Robert Britton, moved to within just over $35,000 of earning $1 million in prizemoney with her all-the-way win in Saturday night's Group 3 Ladbrokes Sydney Cup (720m) at Wentworth Park.

Fanta Bale (pictured) had come out running from box seven to win her heat and put in a repeat performance from box two in Saturday night's final, stopping the clock at 42.41.

The Ray Smith-trained pair Midnight Treat and Big Daddy Bee chased Fanta Bale throughout, but she was never in danger of defeat.

Packey Keeping, who had won his heat, and Scott Keeping, a fast finishing luckless second in Fanta Bale's heat, were never in the picture and finished at the tail of the field.

After the race Peter Riley, who handled Fanta Bale in the absence of trainer Britton, who is attending the United States National Greyhound Sales in Kansas, said Fanta Bale just wants to win.

“She has never broken a track record but has a phenomenal will to win,” Riley said.

“Even when she is being worked at home Fanta Bale always wants to be out in front and she is certainly the best greyhound Robert has trained as far as versatility is concerned.

“Fanta Bale is starring as a stayer now but whenever Robert trials her over 525m at The Meadows she runs 29.60, good enough time to win most top grade sprints.

GRNSW News Vale Rick Hodgson GRNSW Website

“He was a private person, but, if you were to join the club, he would go out of his way to make you feel welcome and comfortable,” said Camden Branch member Denis Mahoney.

“There are some wonderful people in the industry and Rick epitomised that. He was quickwitted, well respected and very kind.

“He truly loved what he did with the Camden club and was always heavily involved with presentation nights and functions – he was a real hands -on type of person, and he will be sadly missed.”

GRNSW offers our thoughts and condolences to his lovely wife Sue, his family and friends.

Written by: James Preston

Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) wishes to pay their respects to Rick (Paul) Hodgson who passed away on October 6, 2017.

Rick was a stalwart in the greyhound racing community, tirelessly involving himself with the GBOTA Camden Branch.

Born December 23, 1943, Rick was the point score captain and Vice Chairman at Camden GBOTA for over 20 years. Based in Warragamba, he became a public trainer in 1996, acting as a trainer for 20 greyhounds including Winsome Amigo, Daisy Earle, and Anatlus Nomad.

GRNSW Chief Steward Wayne Billett said that Rick was a kind-hearted man who would “do anything for anyone at the drop of a hat. He had a big heart and was very passionate about the Camden club.”

A warm but unassuming character, Rick was well respected by many in the industry.

From: Catie Blacker.

We went to the Doggy Wash for the first time today. I was very scared of the fur dryer but mummy gave me lots of cuddles and in the end it wasn’t so bad! Mummy wasn’t so good at getting me dry though so now I have to have the towel on. I think it looks stoopid mum, take it off!

GRV Greyhound Care Heat Stroke – excessive or loud panting, thick saliva, vomiting, diarrhoea, wobbliness, strange behaviour, seizures, collapse, and death.

Heat Stress and Heat Stroke

When summer arrives people are told to stay in the cool, drink lots of fluids, and avoid exercising in the heat of the day. Despite our best efforts, people still tend to be affected, whether by dehydration, lack of sleep, or reduced appetite. But what affect does summer heat have on greyhounds, and what can we do to help them best cope?

Keeping Cool Probably the biggest difference between us and greyhounds is the different ways in which our bodies work to maintain a stable operating temperature. For humans, body sweat is used to cool our skin, but greyhounds can’t sweat all over like we do, instead only sweating through glands on the pads of their feet and nose. Greyhounds instead rely on evaporative cooling from their respiratory system – panting to move air across wet membranes.

This system of cooling has limitations and has important consequences for the greyhound. Firstly, the evaporation can only occur if the humidity in the air allows it – the higher the humidity the less this system works. So when in a confined space such as a car, trailer or kennel, humidity can increase quickly as evaporated water from the greyhound stays in the air.

The second problem with this sort of cooling is that it can lead to huge losses of body fluids and can alter the acid-base balance in the dog’s blood from the increased amount of oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange in the lungs. These changes are hard to measure because you may not be able to actually see them.

What can you do?  Stop all exercise  Move to a shaded area or, ideally, into an airconditioned area  Provide plenty of cool, fresh water  Provide plenty of ventilation to move evaporated fluid away and to drop the humidity levels  Gently cool the greyhound – they can lay on wet towels, be wiped down or hosed with cool water. Make sure if you are using wet towels or ‘Cooling Coats’ that they feel cool to touch and that there is a breeze or ventilation as these methods rely on evaporation for their cooling effects too – if they dry out or there is no ventilation then it’s similar to wearing a blanket or rug.  Avoid using iced water on the greyhound’s body as this can cause the blood vessels in the skin to contract, which will slow the cooling process down because the hot blood is no longer coming to the surface where it can lose heat. Iced water can be used on the feet though, and covered ice packs can be placed in between the dog’s thighs and in their ‘arm-pits’.

What if I think a greyhound is moving into heat stroke?

Heat stroke is more serious as there can be delayed complications due to organ damage. The priority is to lower the body temperature quickly, but care has to be taken not to cause hypothermia (too cold) in the process. Any dog with a rectal temperature over 41.6 degrees is considered dangerously hot.

These dogs need to be taken to the vet immediately, where cold intravenous fluids and cool water enemas can be done. The vet can also monitor for complications and give medications to aid in preventing some of the consequences of a body temperature that’s too high – such as brain swelling and shock.

What will you see?

Heat Stress – panting, salivating, increased heart rate, listlessness, vocalisation/whining

GRV Greyhound Care Kennel Design and Monitoring of Greyhounds on Hot Days

Obviously the way a greyhound is housed has a huge effect on how it copes with hot weather.

If you have facilities with indoor areas, you need to think about insulation and ventilation. While a metal/ tin garage or shed provides shade, it might restrict air flow, and if it’s not well insulated, it might end up being hotter inside than outside.

If your kennels are not set up for extreme heat – such as not having air conditioning – you need to have alternate strategies for hot days, because there is no excuse for letting your dogs suffer from heat stress or stroke.

You might think about moving the dogs off-site or leaving them outside if there is adequate shade in the runs and the areas are adequately fenced.

If you only have a few greyhounds, you could bring the dogs inside your house.

Hot dogs are generally less active than usual, so most will settle on some tiles or in front of a fan. If it is too hot outside or in the kennels for you – then it’s too hot for the greyhounds!

Regular checks are vital to ensure that all greyhounds in your care are coping in the heat, and that they all have access to shade and plenty of cool, fresh water.

Water containers need to be such that they cannot be accidentally tipped or spilled by the dog.

If you keep your greyhounds at kennel facilities that are not at your house, you must take the time to go and inspect them regularly in hot weather.

Transport, Training and Racing in Hot Weather Avoid transporting your greyhounds in the heat of the day if at all possible, but if you must, make sure ventilation is at a maximum, and that your transport vehicle has been cooled as much as possible before the greyhounds get in. Place the trailer or car in the shade, open the windows and doors and start the airconditioning well before you travel.

You can also use wet towels, ice in open containers, and so on, to lower the temperature where the greyhound will be.

GRV’s hot weather policy travel guidelines state that on days when the forecast temperature is predicted to be 32 degrees or above, trainers are expected to only transport greyhounds to racetracks in air-conditioned transport facilities.

Because exercise significantly increases fluid loss and raises body temperature, it is best it’s not done unless early in the morning when it’s cooler. It may be that your training and trialling schedule for each dog is altered to allow days off when it’s hot. Although this may seem like a step backward in terms of maintaining fitness, the damage that could be done from even one run in extreme heat may be worse than giving your dog a day off.

GRV has a Hot Weather Policy that allows you to scratch your greyhounds if it’s predicted to be hot, and you can always choose not to nominate your greyhounds if the weather for the day of the race meeting is predicted to be extreme.

If you do choose to run your greyhounds, make sure that they drink plenty of fluids BEFORE racing, as well as afterwards. Reluctant drinkers can be encouraged to drink by flavouring the water, either with a splash of milk (lactose-free milk is best), or with something like a stock cube.

There are also electrolyte mixes that can be added to the water, but don’t overdo it as too much electrolyte can actually cause increased dehydration.

When your dog returns from a run, pay particular attention to cooling it down – the dog should have stopped panting before it is returned to the kennels or trailer. Don’t simply hose it off and put it back into the stationary trailer whilst you run another dog.

This applies to your greyhounds after a run in the yards at home too, as elevated body temperature can occur quickly, especially if dogs are running up and down the fences with each other.

Finally, monitor your greyhounds closely for the longer-term effects of hot weather. You need to be watching food intake, water intake, body weight, coat condition and elasticity, and you may even need to monitor blood levels of electrolytes. Contact your greyhound veterinarian for advice if needed.
