Revised Prize Money & Breeding Sustainability Package Following the valuable feedback received from the ICG, Clubs, GOTBA and other stakeholders on options for distributing additional prize money, GRV has revised its proposal to provide for a more equitable distribution of the increased prize money and additional funds to stimulate breeding with the new package comprising of: $2.55M p.a. to be added to minimum prize money; and 1.40M p.a. in new prize money and bonuses available to be shared between owners and breeders of VicBred greyhounds in a new Sustainable Breeding Package The original proposal to increase trainers’ starters fees to $80 per runner has now been removed from the package.

The new prize money proposal will mean Travel & Starters’ Fees remain at their current levels of $70 per trainer plus $10 per starter at all meetings. Two prize money package options are now under consideration which focus directly on increasing prize money to be shared between owners and trainers at the lower levels of racing.

The increases are to be implemented from 1 November 2017. All Vic Bred greyhounds of all ages will be eligible immediately for the Breeding Package with no nomination fees payable to be eligible.

Brett Lee died on 29 August 2010, so every litter which comes through must be closing in on the end of the semen stored before he Brett Lee died.

Letters to the editor GRV NEGATIVITY PUTS INDUSTRY AT RISK

By Bruce Teague Editor….

For just the second time ever, Victoria (GRV) has officially recognised that it is running out of greyhounds. A few weeks ago GRV announced it would be recasting programs to better cater for the declining demand. This week it made a formal appeal to trainers and others to bring marginal racers to the track to fill all the empty boxes. In both cases the reference is to slow dogs which would not otherwise make the grade.

While GRV has guaranteed no overall loss of races, it is promising an increase in prize money by the end of the year, implying that more cash in flowing into the till. Fewer dogs and more money don’t quite fit together but we will have to wait and see. Meantime, there are overlapping influences.

1. For over a decade the Australian greyhound population has been falling and the proportion of pups in each litter making it to the track has been rising.

While 2016 official figures are scarce those trends appear to have intensified recently.

continued with races limited to “VicBred” dogs. The combined effects of live baiting and cancelled subsidies would certainly have discouraged some intending breeders. (Whether those subsidies were sensible in the first place is a different question again).

6. In all likelihood, government-enforced cost increases will ensure NSW runs out of money in the medium term and will have to cut back racing. That will prompt an even greater shift of dogs to the south than has occurred in the past. Temporarily, that may help Victoria a little.

It is therefore obvious that the dog shortage is a manmade problem, partly due to foolish live baiting practices, partly due to overreaction by governments, but mostly due to ineffective policies from state authorities. But now GRV has created a new and even bigger problem. The impact of all these changes is to further reduce average field quality. Bottom level dogs don’t all stay there but gradually filter through to normal graded races – and so on up the scale (which is why we have already seen standards drop at major city venues).

2. In the last few years, lower grade events have started appearing on major city programs and from 2010 cut Excellence has become a dirty word. Any old dog will price races for slower dogs (Tier 3, Class C, etc) be able to get a run. That may help reduce euthanasia bolstered or replaced normal TAB meetings. numbers marginally but it will come at a cost. Serious punters will be even more dismayed because you can’t 3. The proportion of all races which are run over 400m bet well on bad dogs. So the already significant trend or less has been steadily rising and some short trips towards income from mug gamblers in pubs and clubs have been freshly added to club programs (Albion Park, will continue or perhaps accelerate. The existing poor Lismore, Angle Park). This trend is consistent with (1) public image of the industry will persist. Not a happy and (2) above. outcome.

4. In 2015 and 2016 alleged over-breeding was identified by four inquiries, some state CEOs and GA as the root cause of what was seen as excessive euthanasia rates. Clearly, they were all wrong, which is not surprising as they all failed to study the subject properly or at all. Current GRV actions confirm the problem.

The solution? Well, it is hard to see any magic wands being waved. However, a light at the end of the tunnel could emerge when or if the existing state racing bureaucracies are replaced by livewire commercial managers.

The status quo is never an answer – forwards or backwards are the only options.

5. Post live baiting, GRV (and others) elected to cut out Bruce Teague. all breeding subsidies although, paradoxically, GRV

Others in finishing order: Worm Burner, Dyna Boomer, Weekend Binge, Shima Song, Benteke, One For Me, Mrs Bubbles

Can Worm Burner win the Adelaide Cup this year after finishing fourth in the race last year behind Aqua Cheetah.

He has now raced 80 times for 47 wins, 10 seconds and 10 thirds with stake earnings to date of $377.945.

He is the undisputed king of Angle Park, having won 13 races in a row there midway through last year.

He has been doing his racing in Victoria of late, until last week when he returned home for the cup heats, beating High Eden Snow by 4.75 lengths, stopping the clock at 29.59.

He has a P.B of 29.17 on the track, which far better than any of his rivals in this year’s Cup. The box draw hasn’t made it any easier for him either, but there is little doubt he is more than capable of taking the crown this year.

He is certain to be the sentimental favourite if not top pick in the betting order as well.

Cameron and Yvonne Butcher, who own and trained him for most of career, certainly deserve the win, as does.

It would be a fitting reward for a brilliant career as he heads to s blossoming career at stud.

GRV Greyhound Care FLEAS Fleas are the most common external parasite of dogs. Even the best-kept dogs can be infested with fleas, especially if they regularly leave their property. Left untreated the infestation quickly becomes a much bigger problem and can lead to other things such as tapeworm infection, anaemia (low red cells in the blood) and skin conditions such as flea allergy dermatitis.

At the track, the on-track veterinarian will be on the look-out for fleas, and infested greyhounds will be scratched from racing and sent home. It’s such a pity to have the dog just right, make the field and get scratched going over the table because your dog has fleas.

But I bathed the dog Many dog owners and trainers think that simply bathing their dog will solve the problem, but this is not the case. To understand how to truly keep on top of fleas, you first need to understand their lifecycle.

Fleas are a little bit like a mosquito in that they feed on blood. Without a feed of blood, they are unable to mature and lay their eggs. So to the flea, your greyhound is simply a moving restaurant – they jump on, have a feed, leave and then lay their eggs and die. The majority of the flea lifecycle takes place away from the dog – in the bedding, kennels, or even in the carpet of your house if your dogs come inside. So what you see on the dog is only the tip of the iceberg.

How does the dog get fleas in the first place?

Even if your property is completely flea-free, your dogs can become infested if fleas are brought onto the property. This can be via a new dog coming into the kennels, through straw-type bedding (often infested from rabbits that live in hay sheds), or from yours or the neighbour’s cat that has been off wandering and has picked up a few fleas on their travels. Dogs, cats and rabbits all share the same fleas. Your dog may also pick up fleas when off your property.

The flea simply jumps onto the dog as it goes past. Once on the dog, the flea will usually head towards the rear, often spending most of the time in the hair above the base of the tail. This is why the best place to look for fleas is in this area, or in the less hairy parts of the dog such as the belly area or inside the thighs. Seeing fleas with the naked eye can be hard as they don’t like light, so if you part the dog’s hair the fleas will scramble into the dark areas.

Sometimes the only thing you will see is ‘fleadirt’. This is simply the waste matter the flea passes out after digesting its meal. Flea dirt looks like normal grains of dark dirt in the coat, but if you wet it, it

dissolves and turns a reddish colour. Similarly, if you are bathing the dog, and the water hits the flea dirt, it will turn into a reddish stain. If there is flea dirt, there are fleas, whether you can see them or not.

What happens once the flea is on the dog?

Once on the dog, they start feeding. The flea will suck blood from the dog, injecting saliva as they do it. This flea saliva can cause allergic reactions in some dogs, and they will quickly start to bite and scratch at themselves – similar to a person who is allergic to mosquito bites. This can lead to severe coat problems, dermatitis, and damage to the skin from biting and scratching.

Once the flea has had its meal of blood, it will start to lay eggs which simply drop off the dog. Each flea can lay hundreds of eggs, and these eggs can survive in the environment for quite a long time (even years) and are quite hard to kill. Because the eggs drop off the dog, common places for egg infestation are bedding, resting areas, and kennels – all places where dogs spend a lot of time.

Hatching of the eggs occurs when the temperature and humidity is right. The hatching can also be triggered by vibration. This explains why people who move into an empty house that has previously had pets often end up with flea bites – their movement triggers the eggs to hatch and the fleas have no pets to jump onto, and end up biting the people instead!

Flea eggs hatch into larva, which look similar to a microscopic maggot. They are not as tough as the eggs, and need warm, humid conditions to mature. The larvae then spin a little cocoon for themselves and turn into the next lifecycle stage – the pupae. The pupae can survive for months before hatching into adult fleas, so even if you think you have got rid of all the adult fleas, you will still have pupae waiting to hatch when the conditions are right.

GRV Greyhound Care FLEAS Continued How long does it take?

The whole lifecycle of the flea – from adult to eggs to adult can take as little as 2 weeks in the warm, humid months, meaning one flea can turn into hundreds which can turn into thousands in under a month! That is why flea problems tend to be worst in the spring and summer months when the weather is just right.

What should I do to keep my dogs flea-free?

Only 5% of the flea problem is adult fleas on the dog, so the only way to be successful in controlling fleas is to address the environmental infestation as well. In the past, people used flea combs to remove the adult fleas from the dog’s coats, but when the dog goes back to its kennel it gets re-infested.

Similarly, bathing the dog with a flea shampoo, or using a flea rinse will certainly kill the fleas on the dog at the time of the bath and rinse them from the coat, but it will do nothing to stop the dog becoming reinfested. Add to this, many of the ‘old-fashioned’ flea rinses are quite toxic, and there is little point to using them if you want to truly solve the problem.

These days there are many ‘spot-on’ products that not only kill the fleas on the dog when applied, but go on working to kill the fleas for up to a month. This can work quite well as you are basically using the dog to clean the environment – the eggs hatch, the fleas jump on and die, no new eggs are laid. The environmental store of eggs gradually all hatch and you end up with reduced environmental contamination. There are also products that have an added ingredient that stops the eggs from hatching. The product crystallizes and small crystals fall off into the dog’s bedding and elsewhere, causing any eggs there to become sterile.

Finally, addressing the environmental contamination can also reduce the burden. Regularly vacuuming carpets will remove eggs, but remember to empty the vacuum bag into the bin as the eggs will still be alive in the bag. Regularly washing dog blankets and bedding in hot water for more than 10 minutes, or completely replacing carpet used in the kennels will also keep the environment cleaner. Avoid giving your dogs access to areas such as under the house, where the humidity and temperature are right for a fast flea lifecycle and where cleaning is almost impossible.

Finally, make sure that any new dogs coming onto your property are treated for fleas. Treating the arriving dogs yourself with a good quality flea product will ensure you keep the fleas away. Ask your greyhound veterinarian for advice on which products would best suit your kennel.
