Greyhound Thread

[HodgoBerro]

Hey guys and gals

this is the new greyhound thread were we can talk about who's in and out, what the big races coming up and info on buy/sell pups/dogs

[Dakink]

Awesome - This is something I like betting on - but have always wanted to own Greys!!

How would you advise someone who wants to become involved?

[HodgoBerro]

ok what i know is that if you want to own a racing greyhound must contact your GRA (the one in brisbane is in Amy St albion) you must get an application for a owners licence which is i think $58 each year.

this is a 3/4 week wait as they check criminal records and so forth

you can then join syndicates or apply to train your own greyhounds.

to 'adopt' a retired greyhound its a little different, we've never done the GAP program with our dogs, usually when their racing career is through they are pretty much put out to greener pastures

my family are pretty much against euthanasing our dogs for no apparent reason

[HodgoBerro]

hey guys the broncos charity dog ripped rite up is running tomorrow at ipswich
race 1 box 5

she's just come back from a cracked hock so fingers crossed for a good run

[DIEHARD]

I'm involved in the Greyhound Adoption Program. Last year I used to volunteer nearly one day a week for G.A.P. I love the dogs, the program and the people.

For anyone who wants to see some greyhounds, check them out at the pet and animal expo.

Dates - 17 - 19 March
Times - Friday 10 - 5, Sat & Sun 10 - 5.30
Place - Brisbane Convention Centre South Brisbane

I'll have a few dogs racing soon, got the papers back.

In my family we have about 20 greyhounds of various ages. Most retired. Greyhounds get treated better than humans in our family.

Greyhounds are the light of my life.

Maybe in the future we can see a challenge between the Titans and Broncos in greyhound form, in the tradition of Lions v Broncos and the greyhound State of Origin. Titans v Broncos, run at the Gold Coast and Brisbane race courses.

[HodgoBerro]

how du volunteer?

[DIEHARD]

how du volunteer?

Well I just got in contact with Kirsty O'Brien kirsty@greyhoundpets.org.au and asked.

There is a heap of things you can do.

I used to do the weekly meat run to foster carers, which I don't have to do anymore because our meat company now delivers to Ipswich. Also transport dogs to vets and foster carers.

I also turned up to a good few of their appearances at fetes and shows, which is definitely the fun part, showing off the greyhounds and how fantastic they are to the virgin public.

You aren't just promoting GAP but greyhounds as a whole.

Many other people help out other ways, the GRA finances the operation, vets, food and vet products companies donate their time, service and product or at a fantastic discount.

Owners donate/provide kennels or transport for dogs in the program.

And the foster carers are usually ordinary people who look after a dog for a few weeks to get them used to life as a pet, certainly the life blood of the program and great people.

You could also attend fetes and shows with your favourite greyhound and share them with the public.

You should try and catch up with GAP over the time the pet and animal expo is on. Catch up with them and say g'day, they'll answer all your questions.

They'll be delighted to meet you.

Check out the GAP website. http://www.greyhoundpets.org.au/
I'm not rostered on, but I'll make an appearance one or two days.

I reckon Diehard has an excellant idea about the Broncos & Titans greyhound race. Imagine seeing Darren Lockyer & Preston Cambell running around a track chasing a rabbit. What a great idea. LOL. I think Preston would win. :win: :win: :win:

Yea I'd tip Presto. He'd make a good greyhound!

[DeeGan]

What is the cost in buying, maintaining, racing (with trainer costs) etc. a grey hound over a year approximately?

[HodgoBerro]

you can't just give a greyhound pal...

including the best meat, attitives (that includes feramo, iron, calcium, vitamin e, etc), science diet, milk, eggs

you're looking at about 5 grand at the least.

[HodgoBerro]

You could also attend fetes and shows with your favourite greyhound and share them with the public.

i'm really interested in taking one of my brood girls for a pet fete - can you give her a buzz to see if its appropriate?

[HodgoBerro]

hey guys we just got the 1st name back for our Brett Lee x Jeanie's Queen pups

CYCLONIC LEE

(nothing to do with whats been in the news either)

'Daniel' (as he's known fondly to us) will have his 1st start at Wentworth Park on the 3rd of April in the Magic Maiden

he's been going as well as Convincing Lee so we are fingers crossed

[HodgoBerro]

hey guys - just letting you know that we are selling some dogs

8 Hallucinate x Ginger Legs pups (4 boys 4 girls)

whelped on the 4th of January 06

Ginger Legs is a litter sister to Jeanies Queen (38 wins 25 placings)

Ginger Legs broke in better than Jeanies Queen however a stopper injury shortened her career

pups are going for $3500 each ready at 12 weeks


2 Brett Lee x Jeanies Queen (17 months old)

broken in - good reports

1 boy, 1 girl

eligible for the Ipswich Auction

the girl was sold for $36 thousand at the Auction

litter brother is Cyclonic Lee - who will start in the Magic Maiden in Sydney next monday

they are trialling over the 520m at Albion Park mid 30s (mind you both the times we trialled the track was considered dead)

best offer after 14 days

PM me for details to call my dad about this.

[HodgoBerro]

anyone on the punt tonight

Albion Park - Race 2 Box 1
Most Lee

litter sister to convincing lee - 1st start since august

[Dakink]

Im having a punt - Ill look...

[Smithy]

Is most Lee one of your as well?

[Smithy]

Not a bad second and at $3.10.......thanks mate.

[Dakink]

err didnt Collective Lee finish 2nd not Most Lee?

[Smithy]

err didnt Collective Lee finish 2nd not Most Lee?
2nd Collective Lee....$3.10

[HodgoBerro]

Is most Lee one of your as well?


Most Lee and Cyclonic Lee are ours
we sold Convincing Lee last year for 50 grand

at the present time the one's that we have are 'racing' (racing meaning some of them are injured) are

Most Lee
Cyclonic Lee
Ebb's Ebony
Its Academic (actually Helen Ivers' dog)

we sold Convincing Lee last year for 50 grand

we were actually the people who started the 'Lee' thing if you didn't know

Most Lee come 7th last night - i wasn't expecting much since she did have a 238 day lay off with a hip injury

Cylconic Lee - running at wentworth park on monday in the Magic maiden qualys - non tab so you can't bet on him

[Steve Dangerous]

never taken any interest, myself. probably because i'm not a betting man.

[HodgoBerro]

i don't bet but i know that greyhound racing is worth a lot of money

okay i'm not the richest person out but because of the dogs we are pretty well off

[DIEHARD]

I'm a betting man and I love to bet on the dogs. In fact it is all I bet on besides rugby league.

I can't believe you guys came up with the LEE suffix, I always wondered who was responsible!

We'll have a few dogs running around in a few weeks, just finalising the names.

Love the dogs.

[HodgoBerro]

yeah it was us...

what happened was we put in 3 names and they were

Convincing Lee
Most Lee
Distinct Lee

Convincing Lee - no introductions to him we sold him last year and have heard he might be back on the track

Most Lee - had a start on Thursday after a 236 day lay off - has had a niggling hip injury that has plagued her career - i think dad said that if it goes again - she's retiring.

Distinct Lee - we sent to someone to be trained - however he suffered a serious back injury and had to be put down...

[DIEHARD]

Do you yourself get to the track much HodgoBerro?

[HodgoBerro]

i only go to the trials these days

the last time i went to the track was at albion park on the 26th of November 2004 and i saw brett seymour and justin hodges there and they recognised me...

we have a 'murphys law' thing with our dogs - everytime we as a family go the dog does no good.

[HodgoBerro]

Cyclonic Lee won his heat and will be in the semi final next week

fingers crossed.

[HodgoBerro]

Cyclonic Lee is in at Wentworth Park tonight Race 4 Box 7 (8:30pm AEST)

he's drawn the seven which could be the problem - he's an inside dog
however he's quick early (did a first section at 5.47 - which is flying)
hopefully he can get inside and get on the rail at the 1st bend.

fingers crossed he's been hot dogged in at 2nd.

[DIEHARD]

Got any dogs at Wenty on Saturday?

I will be down there for the Easter Egg.

[HodgoBerro]

this one will be in on sat if he gets either a first or second me thinks.

if you are going to wenty on sat let me know coz i'd love to go

[HodgoBerro]

if anyone on the bet tonight -

QUIDAME - RACE 7 ALBION PARK (JUMPS AT 8:50pm)

Box 5

just on tab right now and she's paying 1.70

[HodgoBerro]

dad's nominating 3 at capalaba this sat

Most Lee
Cyclonic Lee
Ebb's Ebony

will post later in the week if or when they run

[DIEHARD]

dad's nominating 3 at capalaba this sat

Most Lee
Cyclonic Lee
Ebb's Ebony

will post later in the week if or when they run

Capalaba is a great track, I should get down there more often.

Albion is my usual haunt though.

I got the names of some of my dogs back. Tell you more about them another time. But I got all my first choices, so I'm very happy.

[HodgoBerro]

looking forward to it....

never asked before whats the breeding of your dogs?

should get the name of our second brett lee x jeanies queen pup back soon...

we sold the other 2 for $5000 each to a guy in christchurch NZ

[HodgoBerro]

hey dad's decided not to nominate any of our dogs this week for capalaba - he went to the physio with them and have discovered they all had torn muscles - bit of a shame but thats racing

[DIEHARD]

November Ghandi x Susie Rythum = 7 dogs

November Fury x Whirlpool Sal = 2 *****es, 3 dogs.

Love them all. :blush:

[HodgoBerro]

nice...

looking forward to delivering some History Lesson x Lady Keros in a few weeks if she's in pup!

Shame about the last births we've had they've all ended up C-Sections!

dad's nominating one of our brett lee x jeanies queen dogs (still waiting on name) in the eric thompson next sunday...

fingers crossed - he has so many traits about him that are similar to convincing lee its starting to freak me out a little.

[DIEHARD]

NO REST FOR MR RAUDONIKIS

Vastly improved Queensland galloper Mr Raudonikis will back up in Sydney on Wednesday week in the heats of the Peter Mosman Classic at Wentworth Park.

But first the son of Elite State-Quicksilver Sal has a date with destiny when he lines up in the Group 1 Maturity (525m) at The Meadows on Saturday night.

Owner-trainer Lee Elgood is ecstatic at the improvement in the dog and his chances on Saturday night.

?I came home from Melbourne with the flu and a Group 1 contender,? he said. ?I?m quietly confident he can win because he has drawn exactly where I wanted him.

?He came from last early in the semi-final and gave Collapse 12 lengths start and ran him to a head.

?They paid $50,000 for Collapse a few weeks ago. I paid $1500 for my bloke as a pup.?

The first person on the phone to congratulate Elgood was rugby league legend Tommy Raudonikis after who the dog was named.

?Those Victorians and their silly AFL ? they could not pronounce Tommy?s name when it came to the box draw last Saturday night. My daughter Mia soon put ?em right. He?s a legend.

?And Tommy?s wrapped. Both of us have backed him pre-race at very big odds,? said Elgood.

?I got 200-1 early in the series and Tommy jumped on at 50-1. He?s now down to $13 on Sportsbet in Queensland,? said Elgood.

?But we have only backed him straight out. Where we come from at Wests it?s all or nothing.?

Elgood could not have been happier with the way his dog pulled up after the semi-final performance. ?He was ready to go again on Sunday morning,? he said.

?He only has to be a half length closer in the final and he can win. The three box is exactly where I wanted him to draw.?

Elgood rates hotpot Train A Journey the dog to beat.

?But he?s come off the inside every time in the series,? said Elgood. ?He?ll know he?s got something chasing him this week.?

[HodgoBerro]

just some in news - dad got off the fone to Michael and Helen Ivers - Texas Gold has brokendown and is going to be retired...

Most Lee is our latest one to be retired after a reccuring hip injury.

[DIEHARD]

just some in news - dad got off the fone to Michael and Helen Ivers - Texas Gold has brokendown and is going to be retired....

That is terrible news. Very sorry to hear it. Texas Gold was a brilliant dog.

[HodgoBerro]

it is - michaels pushing dad for jeanies queen to be mated to him.

[HodgoBerro]

i spoke to michael and helen last night and just asked them about texas gold

helen said he tore a flexor tendon and that pretty much finished him

[HodgoBerro]

we have 3 in tomorrow night at ipswich

race 2 box 2 - cyclonic lee

race 7 box 3 - waltzin wizzard

race 10 box 4 - ebb's ebony

[lonegull]

Gee whiz thats a shame about texas gold he was a freak hes last sections were of this planet to bad about his starts though but this dog was one of the best distance dogs ever
I think he is by flying penske an imported dog hodgeberro might no this

anyway i have two greyhounds in at the moment
City Bourke and Bourke storm
have a promosing litter breaking in out of our champion ***** Scream Machine to Collision let everyone know we there named
get back when the Dogs are nominated

[HodgoBerro]

Gee whiz thats a shame about texas gold he was a freak hes last sections were of this planet to bad about his starts though but this dog was one of the best distance dogs ever
I think he is by flying penske an imported dog hodgeberro might no this

yeah flying penske (actually the dog is not here - just a frozen pop thing thru Wattle Tree Park Stud) by sheza swifty

some people used to compare him with Bold Trease.

its a shame but at least he'll be at stud soon

Should get my owners licence soon - dad's got a few Bright Ebony x Jeanies Queen Pups due for breaking in soon

but do look out for ipswich tonight.

Its Acadamic is back in work after a 3 month lay off with a achillies tendon injury. she broke a trial record at mango hill last week which was held by Convincing Lee 2 years ago. Fingers crossed, she could be back starting in 2/3 weeks.

[lonegull]

keep my eyes on them

[lonegull]

I watched cyclonic lee win jumped beautiful never got headed pretty smart dog didnt get to see the other two

[HodgoBerro]

waltzin wizzard came 5th he got checked heavily after getting out of the boxes

ebb's ebony came 3rd - for a 1st start back that was very impressive

[lonegull]

thanks let me no if any racing again, just sent one of our girls to carnage pretty good value as a sire

[HodgoBerro]

we just sent one of our girls to paua to burns litter brother today

another one of our friends broodies, Lady Kero is due to have pups to History Lesson next week

just waiting for most lee or jeanies queen to come on now most lee is probably going to late late show
jeanies queen either flying penske or texas gold (when the stud papers are ready)

[HodgoBerro]

race 1 box 1 - Its Acadamic (Ripped Rite Up's litter sister)

some news on our dogs,

cyclonic lee is out for another few days after injuring his toe

waltzin wizzard is out for 2/3 weeks after a bizzare accident involving part of his tail being removed.

its acadamic is a little out of form after her 2 wins and a couple of seconds but the weekend off might help her in her rehab

we have none running this week i think.

[lonegull]

I have a dog in on friday at the Gardens BOURKE CITY box 7 race 6 hates the wide box so needs to jump and lead trialled great on tuesday but the wide box is a huge concern he hates it out there

[DIEHARD]

Anyone see Rove last night. Where they got a bloke to do a lap of Albion Park Greyhounds, Brisbane, even crawling out of the boxes?

That would be a mean feat!

I thought it was hilarious and I want to give it a go.

The bloke looked like a greyhound as well, really lives up to his nickname. haha

And let's not forget Fred Basset coming to Albion Park and sweeping all before him, winning his race!

[DIEHARD]

FRED BASSET WON!

He ran a superb race and won to the cheers of the big crowd at Angle Park, SA.

Also two of my friends won at Albion Park so Im very happy.

[HodgoBerro]

Cyclonic Lee into the final of the young guns up at bundy we've worked on him with his box work. strasburg is the best.

look out for You Can Too in the next few weeks.

[HodgoBerro]

good to see i found this thread. some news on our puppies!

ginger legs is heavily in pup to surf lorian she is due this friday

we sold jeanies queen for 8 grand to sue smith in vic. she had a litter to pure octane in march and sold 2 for 5000 each. sue has given "jessie" back for free as they have made a profit out of her - she will be back tomorrow

our hallucinate x ginger legs pups (im willing to palm off a noisy girl!) are doing very well and we have got back 2 names

She's My Idol

Fireglow

[HodgoBerro]

Goodluck Hodgo Berro

Ive got shares in about 4 greyhound syndicates.

they are great dogs. its gonna be a busy week for us, atm 2 racing and 1 due to give birth

[DIEHARD]

I'm surprised with the number of people with dogs on the forum.

Great to see, good luck to all.

[HodgoBerro]

just sharing the mircale of birth here ginger legs delivered 2 pups safely with the 1st at about 10:20am & the 2nd about 10 mins ago. they are both boys & very active more news to come

[HodgoBerro]

UPDATE SURF LORIAN X GINGER LEGS PUPS

"Bonnie" has safely delivered 6 beautiful pups. there are 5 boys and 1 girl they are all very active and very noisy so hopefully this is a good thing to come.

[DIEHARD]

Make sure you take some pics and put them up here.

Nothing cuter than greyhound puppies.

[HodgoBerro]

will do! ill use dads slr to get the newborn shots


since the doggies are back at albion park on monday one of "bonnie's" pups by hallucinate is racing
her name is fire glow

[stormside]

HB...nicely bred pups. Maybe this forum should get together form a syndicate and by one. Name it with a Titans theme...Long process I know but most people are with the Titans for the long haul.

[HodgoBerro]

jeanies queen is getting "served" by surf lorian (its really a frozen semen inplant) next week. some pretty nice pups there but she went to pure octane in jan. when we didnt have her. i wished we had one of them.

i must say a huge effort to bonnie goes out. this was her first natural delivery after 2 prior c - sections. and the vet said she'd never deliver naturally as she has a narrow birth canal.

dad said the surf lorian x ginger legs pups are going for 3500 each at 12 weeks

[Rogers Magic]

Congrats on a nicely breed litter H.B :)

I look forward to keeping an eye on your hallucinate pups in the future.

As an ex Trainer / Breeder, it is great to see so many people on the forum involved in the Dish Lickers, and it will be exciting to watch some of these up and coming pups race in the near future.

BRONCOS SALVAGE THEIR SEASON

FOUR members of the Brisbane Broncos rugby league team went some way to salvaging their 2007 season at the Gold Coast today.

Shaun and Barry Berrigan, Toni Carroll and Casey Maguire are the proud owners of Miss Southerly who made a winning debut at the Gold Coast today.
She is a daughter of Elite State-Call Collect and was bought by the four-man syndicate when a pup from breeder Kaye Thrupp.

The b itch ran 23.10 to win a maiden heat and will back up next week in the final.

The Berrigan brothers also have shares with a couple of other Broncos in a Pure Octane-Delicate Lee pup also bought from the Thrupps.

GRAQ

[HodgoBerro]

yeah when i caught up with shaun after the raiders game he told me about the dog.
we used elite state ourselves but the pups were very small and couldnt run anything over 400

ill think ill have to head to the track to see shaun before he goes!

[HodgoBerro]

diehard do you know anything about Q Dog being axed because lack of funds?

just heard buckingham chuck tore an off hind back muscle out for 28 days

after seeing 2 dogs retire due to the same injury at an early age i wont be surprised if this happens to him too

[DIEHARD]

Unfortunately due to EI the GRAQ has cut a lot of funding. The QDOG payments are part of this, for the time being they are gone.

Unplaced prize money is gone at all TAB Tracks.... which is a joke because those are the dogs and the people we should strive to keep in the game and survive on a small margin or do it for the love of the game.

Take it off class 1 and group 1s as far as I am concerned. Stripping unplaced prize money is a disgrace.

The Brisbane club says there wont be any immediate changes in prize money at their track so possibly they will use some of their reserves to hold off any cuts.

It's devastating news and I'm furious about it. Most of my fury is directed at the selfish horse industries.

Terrrible news about chuck, he is one of my favourite dogs!

Get better soon Chuck!

[HodgoBerro]

due to better prizemoney dads moving to ararat vic. free place to crash if you are south of the border. however a 4 hour trip from melb.

Yea Victoria has great prize money. Hopefully our crisis up here will be over in a couple months with luck...

It will be sad to not see your dad around the place, I'm more than a few other trainers are thinking about making that decision....

[HodgoBerro]

thank god im staying up here in HOT SUNNY QLD! i think it would be too much if i missed out my broncos fix and someone tried to convert me to gayfl

[DIEHARD]

My brother survived 5 years in Mexico without being indoctrinated.

Instead he came back a Melbourne Storm fan, not as bad as it could have been!

[HodgoBerro]

my brother lived in perth for 5 years went there a broncos fan come back a freo dockers fan. he lives in NZ now - he was always an all blacks fan.

my ex left aust a rugby fan but was busted big time recently in england supporting fairy football.

[DIEHARD]

Betfair would cause long-term pain: Greyhound Racing

November 1, 2007

The greyhound racing industry says any plans to allow online betting exchange Betfair to have a presence in NSW would create ongoing financial pain.

The NSW Government has said it is looking at amending regulations which prevent interstate gambling operations, such as Betfair, advertising and trading in NSW.

Premier Morris Iemma has admitted talking on a few occasions to James Packer, who is a 50 per cent owner of the exchange, in relation to proposals.

Greyhound Racing NSW today joined Racing NSW in saying it was alarmed that it had not been consulted about the move.

"The equine influenza outbreak has already led to the greyhound industry losing over $1.2 million in revenue, with this figure expected to climb above $2 million by its end," Greyhound Racing NSW chairman Professor Percy Allan said.

"What is reportedly being considered by the Premier and his Racing Minister will cause much greater financial pain, but on an ongoing basis."

Professor Allan also said it was not the NSW Government's right to be selling the racing industry's core product.

AAP

[DIEHARD]

Betfair is a great risk to the racing industry as a whole.

NSW should not break ranks with the rest of the mainland states on their anti Betfair stance.

[HodgoBerro]

Just going thru the formguide when I found this Dog running at the Gold Coast in race 2 in a maiden (First Starter)

PRINCE OF TITANS






Not one of yours Diehard?

[HodgoBerro]

Just thought I'd let you know that a dog we whelped called

BUCK BURNER

Now owned by Barry and Brett Moore at Coal Point (Gosford)

is in the final of the Launceston Cup this coming monday.

His dam, Jeanies Queen won this in 2002 at the old White City track, can her son do the same?????

[HodgoBerro]

hey all long time no write (work work work!) anyway my dad has now moved to Victoria to a place around 30kms outside of Ararat called Crowlands (If you wanted to get any closer to Woop Woop - this is it)

Unfortunately in the last few months we have had some setbacks including the passing of the great Jeanie's Queen to kidney failure. She was a very well loved animal and is sorely missed.

Dad said that one of the broodies, Ruby/Tricky Time is in pup to Kiowa Sweet Trey (US) as the vet services are very limited out his way now (No Dr. Phil Thomas now!) they said possibly 8/9 pups as they couldn't tell with their ultrasound.

She is due sometime this week.

Unfortunately due to work and I'm on overtime till next week - I'm not sure when I'll be on next but will tell you asap.

[HodgoBerro]

just an update on the kiowa sweet trey x tricky time litter - ruby delivered 14 puppies however sadly due to puppies 10, 11 & 12 trying to all come out at the same time - 11 survived... Dads got pics on facebook so the next time i get on there ill put a pic up

[titanstattman]

Hey that's really cool. I didn't realise you had dogs. I love greyhounds.

We had one in tonight at Albion Park, got away fantastic but the end time was ridiculously fast. It was a best 8 too so it's tough competition.

[titanstattman]

wel just a up date 8 was leading had a good jump but got taking at the post and came in 4th with her brother in 5th was bad but we will get there

[HodgoBerro]

pic of the kiowa sweet trey x tricky time litter i'm unsure how many are there at the time but be reminded she had 14 and 3 passed away...

i'm getting a pet greyhound this weekend, not sure on her breeding, tho all i know its a black 14 month old ***** who wasn't good enough for the track. I saved her in a way as the owners were going to put her down and i felt bad.
