Central Grading
Won't happen overnight, changing around racing managers, different people covering different tracks, over time we may move to central grading. We have introduced three racing support officers, they move around to different tracks. Eventually people won't know who is doing the race card.

I personally wouldnt be in favour of this move. Couple of questions for you.

1. Who exactly wants this to happen?

2. What benefits does it have for the greyhound owner/trainer going forward.

In fact in my view it will have a very detrimental effect on small owners going forward especially when you read the last line of this statement.
EVENTUALLY PEOPLE WONT KNOW WHO IS DOING THE RACE CARD.

So lets just say you feel your dogs are not been given a fair chance in your races you ring the central office to chat about it SORRY WE CANT COMMENT WE DONT KNOW WHO MADE THAT CARD UP. Really!! so thats a move in the right direction? (For who)
If this does happen it will certainly make people sit up and see where our accountability and integrity is heading and what a rocky road lys ahead.
I think a better option would be for all race managers to sign every card they grade showing they stand over their grading and can be questioned directly if a dispute arises
Now on a positive note huge congratulations for the videos released promoting our wonderful sport.
