JIMMY WRIGHT SACKED

disgrace

That's what happen when you let utter cants like the high street bookmakers own tracks.

They're doing everything in their power to finish the sport and handing the antis the ammunition they need to fulfill their agenda.

JIMMY WRIGHT has been left “totally shocked” after Newcastle informed him he will have no more graded runners at the track with immediate effect following his decision to withdraw six greyhounds from Thursday evening's Bags card there.
Wright, who finished fourth in the national Trainer of the Year standings in 2016, when he was also the leading Newcastle trainer with 386 winners from 2,055 runners, acted after seeing his open-race stayer Shellam Maeby break a hock in the first of the evening's pre-meeting trials.
“I was watching from the stand and, unbeknown to me, my kennelhand had said to the trackstaff that he wasn't happy with the surface beforehand,” said Wright.
“I went and checked the track myself afterwards and there was movement in it. It was very soft and not consistent so I pulled all my other trials off."
William Hill, which owns Newcastle, issued a statement through group communication director Ciaran O'Brien: “William Hill takes greyhound welfare extremely seriously and racing at Newcastle last night [Thursday] took place under conditions which were normal for trials and racing.
“The attending vet, racing officials and trainers all agreed the track conditions were perfectly safe. Unfortunately one trainer took a different view and decided to withdraw his greyhounds from racing following the injury to one of his dogs in a trial before racing.
“This injury was unrelated to the conditions and as a result of this unauthorised withdrawal we have today agreed to part company with Jimmy Wright. We are happy for Jimmy to continue to run his greyhounds at Newcastle in open races and we wish him well for the future.”

What a disgrace

irish

you seen it at romford with your trainer doc

principles cost money...sad sad sad state of affairs

ravage again is right trainers have never sticked together all for themselves

IC so your saying  a group of trainers were going to withdraw dogs on mass

Then all bar jimmy bottled it

Can the monkey that presses the sound button please go and punch JK

It's pointless them talking about it, all 3 of them (1 directly) are pretty much employed by Hills, they where never going to give their opinion

Jim Reynolds now Jimmy Wright - these vile companies make Southern Rail look like a paragon of virtue. It's time for everyone to write to their MP urging that these fixed-odds machines be banned. That would wipe out so much of their revenue they would no longer be able to treat greyhound racing with utter contempt. If there was even the slimmest chance that the track was unsafe then Jimmy did the right thing. I find it hard to believe that a vet would make a comment about the track unless it was utterly dire - sounds like made up baloney to me.

Indeed.

You are right mate

Said it was a disgrace and totally wrong, he was putting the welfare of the dogs before anything else
