I don't understand a lot of people Steve. I thought this was a fantastic way to raise some much needed funds for Matt and his family,make a donation,and get a chance to win a straw to a pretty handy Sire. I thought the greyhound community was pretty good at fundraising and this was something novel.Even if mates got together to donate $100. Seems if it doesn't affect them or someone they know,people aren't interested. Shame,isnt it.

Sadly banjo bolt ran 2nd and Skywise 3rd on Sunday.
We have two cracks on Friday. Banjo King and banjo shark. Hoping to add to the fund soon.

Will be cheering them home Andrew.
The draw for the straw hasn't gone ahead as yet,(so I believe)Maybe Kevin can update when this is going to happen.Doesnt seem to be any more takers for the straw,so maybe it can be done at the next race meeting at Warragul.

We got one up Julie. Banjo shark won very nicely at Geelong and I can happily say contributed $662.50 toward the family.
Send me bank details. 0408349578.

I think there pretty close now Steve. The straw hasn't been drawn and I don't think Warragul has has anything forwarded to them from Kevin to be able to go ahead with the draw. Its very strange.

Well done Andrew Vasardi ...Give me a ring and i will arrange the vial ..
Well done also to Matt and his family ... I also want to say thanks to Julie for trying hard to raise awareness and once again you tried ,,,
Andrew V well done Mate as you know its a tuff gig and the costs it takes to stand one dog at stud today is huge so once again you have shown the way .
To the other people who payed the $100 please give me a ring and we can work out a nice deal to suit both of us if you want and you guys deserve the wrap so well done for stepping up and at least Matt can buy some Mag wheels and pimp out his Buggy ....
Present costs of Vials are $5000 per vial with a free return ...
