Gutted as George fights (Marring)

STEWARDS REPORT

FERAL FOX was then observed by the Steward to turn its head outwards and make contact with GRANT A DOLLAR with an open mouth. FERAL FOX was charged under Rule 80.1.a with marring the running of another greyhound. Trainer MM Grant admitted the charge and the dog was suspended for 28 days and required to complete a Satisfactory Trial. Mr Grant advised that the dog would be retired from racing.

It was extremely disappointing to see George turn his head and Fight Grant a Dollar very aggressively when he was in the lead.Apologies to the connection of that dog. Sorry for Malcolm and Lisa who have put in heaps of effort in with the dog. George now will come home and find a seat on the settee If i let him!!!

The snow at the Kennels was pretty deep as the dogs found out. Ridgy did have a coat but was taken off for the photo shoot! No hate mails please!

The new kennels in progress. The beds will be next. Maggie modelling the kennels and giving them the once over. She seemed to approve!

Runs completed, Kennels arrived.

The Runs have now been completed and are all secure with the gates completed. The indoor kennels have arrived and will be placed in the shed in the next few weeks. On the racing front Feral Fox (George)ran a third place at Ascot Park Southland on Tuesday which was great to see.

New runs and kennels nearly finished

Runs and kennels almost ready. Gates to be put on and run kennels to be built. Four runs all up. Approx 50 x 20 meters. Almost set up for some serious rearing. All the runs have access the 8 acre field.
