@Danrobbo47 @DunstallDogs Wishing you the very best of luck with her!🐶🍀

Last spin round the ‘O Sulivans schooling track for Shadow Diva Jan 25! On her way to grade on at @DunstallDogs finger crossed she keeps progressing like she has done! Only been in the boxes 3 times and she can explode out!

Anyone got a contact number for trainer D Yeates ?

@TheOracleBen I’ve paid £240 for 4 dogs in kennels for my wedding Wednesday morning till Saturday morning I’d reckon they can do a greyhound better than some trainers🙈

I was speaking to a trainer recently about the “£10 a day” cost of owning a greyhound… and I’m sure you can all guess, it just doesn’t stack up. When you actually break it down properly - wages, bills, correct staffing, good feed, everything above board - you’re talking £425+VAT a month per dog on a 40–50 dog kennel, just to make a modest profit… before the trainer even pays themselves. And that’s not anyone getting rich, that’s just making it viable. So why are people still being charged £10 a day? Because if trainers charged what it actually costs, we’d all walk away overnight. And if owners were asked to pay the real number, they’d look at prize money and go “what’s the point?” So the gap just gets swallowed. Trainers either absorb the cost or move toward trainer-owned models. They keep fees low to keep owners in and end up working for next to nothing, juggling cash flow. That’s the reality. What I can’t get my head around is people still paying £20k+ for dogs on top of that. Dogs getting quoted at £30k off the back of one good run in Ireland… where does that come back? You’d need them to be a dual Cat 1 winner just to break even. £20k in, £400+ a month out… and prize money nowhere near where it should be. The whole thing only works because people love the game and hope it will change - not because the numbers make sense. At some point something has to give. And we are seeing that with owners and trainers leaving, this will not stop. This needs to change from the top - GBGB, ARC, SIS, betting companies… the ones taking money out of the sport need to start putting more back in. GBGB leaders specifically, PLEASE take some notice. Grow a backbone. Look at what is happening to the sport and the lives of those within it. Work for those that keep you in jobs, act ethically and with conviction. Stop saying “we can’t”. I don’t think we are too late. There are still passionate owners and trainers that want to be here to see this work. But if this carries on, there won’t be owners or trainers left to keep it going - and we certainly won’t be bringing any new ones in. The sport will have killed itself off long before the antis ever could.

Really pleased to get a full tank of petrol for £60 today… Granted it was for the lawnmower but I'm trying to keep positive.

@DanhausenAD Meet Whippethausen

@TheOracleBen @Star_Pelaw Fair play to them! Makes all the difference

@RRacingKennels @Star_Pelaw Ah right, Sunderland gave us handslips the last few weeks. Tonight’s was official trial.

He’s gone round well tonight. Clearly loves it. All about how he comes off over the next 24-48 hours. Hopefully be back for another go next week 🤞

@TheOracleBen @Star_Pelaw Just, you can be anywhere in the world and watch your pride and joy in and handslip and they don’t bother

@RRacingKennels @Star_Pelaw Cheers - What’s Star Pelaw got to do with this?

@PhilMilner @borowatty Proper dog with proper dog people

What a star she’s been. Taught me loads about training, she made us adapt, really she trained herself we just guided her. Thank you sean for trusting us. That spell between June- sept 24 was a thing of beauty she was flawless and breathtaking.

@RRacingKennels @Star_Pelaw 😂😂

@Star_Pelaw no private car park for trainers like every other track in the country & they won’t take any responsibility for anything that happens in the public car park. Welfare of dogs is paramount remember that 😂 Jesus thought I’d seen it all. 😂

@BonvilleRacing @TheOracleBen @PhilMilner another happy Keefill!

No matter win or lose Keefill Zeus will make his own way to the gate to see his owners after a race 🥰 And today it was a win for him 🏆🐾

Howay my mate! Guide this home

@parkercaruana When are they changing? When does the derby start?

TOWCESTER GREYHOUND TRACK USED TO BE SO WELL RUN NOW A TRAVESTY--LATEST IDEA TO CHANGE THE TYPE OF TRAPS JUST BEFORE THE DERBY IS STARTING WHAT ABOUT ALL THE DERBY DOGS THAT HAVE BEEN TRIALLING OR RACING FROM THE NORMAL TRAPS LUNACY.
