Im sure this will get deleted as no matter if you are running at a strike rate of 50% or 0.5% for some reason every single person involved protects this sport. I do love the sport but have become absolutely disillusuoned as to how its run and how some people can sleep at night. As ive seen this sport and participants seem to run on a "oh i didnt see anything" type system. Protective of your fellow trainers or, actually being that way are you?Im not starting this thread to cause shit, Just to say my part. I dont think most people realise my version of being involved with dogs. Im not a trouble maker or an anti. But i think some of you have been told that. So im wondering if its ok to put my greyhound life out there and Let it be disected or i can do it myself. In fact as i notice others seem to think of me in a bad character reference i will offer this opportunity to elighten me rather than talk rubbish behind my back. I will start with my first involvement into greyhounds which i dont need to google and then feel free to join in. Cheers. As about a 12 year old kid i fell in love with greyhounds. A a kid i was always a good athlete and loved my sport. I became a bit of a perfectionist in being as good as i can but i soon found greyhounds. In them i saw a complete athlete but it was a sport i saw that i didnt need to train my ass of for to be involved in. I met Les Castle by accident. I soon started picking up Daves Cruisers and Gala Days and Barbie O'Neils shit for fun. My wall as a 13 year old was plastered with Gallant Ruler, Flying Amy, Boronia Blossom, Tap Dance, New Fox etc posters from the tab. Everybody knew me as the greyhound obsessed kid. At school 'Westfields sports', i used to read the greyhound recorder in roll call. In my roll call was Alex Muscat. His uncle from memory was John Muscat who trained dogs. 1 called Miss Mosta from memory. I would roll off my Saturday Wenty tips to Alex and any anyone who would listen. On a Saturday as a 13 year old i would sneak around getting random people to outlay approximately $15 that i earnt from my job doing a newspaper run. Very rarely did i not atleast double it. My go to trainers were Ron Ball, Ron Gill, Dave Irwin, Lisa Staines etc. Rarely they didnt have a winner. Its getting late. Thats edition 1. If i get cut off no dramas. But im doing this because i believe that i made mistakes but i sick of being branded a certain way. If edition 2 is warranted ill keep going. If not no dramas. But i wont ever forget my treatment and for nobody will i lie about it. Sorry trolls there's no dislike button anymore!
