JIMMY WRIGHT SACKED

disgrace

a dangerous decision in these times of animal welfare etc etc, someone could end up looking very foolish if this story escapes the small parish of dog racing

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.”

Can say I surprised at all bookies have greyhound racing by the goolies

Though jimmy has one of the biggest kennel strengths and Newcastle short of dogs

Might as well sell Brough park and sunderland for houses and concentrate on cartoon racing

As dogs don't go lame in cartoons

What a disgrace


Scott Murray from hills on RPGTV tonight, sure there will be plenty of emails going into the studio.

Tried to read it on racing post

Sorry can not find this page as greyhound racing is run by idiots

Scott Murray from hills on RPGTV tonight, sure there will be plenty of emails going into the studio

plenty of emails going in gwlad
not many getting read out methinks

agree Wonders, probably mention it early on then pass over the rest.

JK won't want the boat being rocked

We are ok

Darrel Williams and phat Phil will provide.a professional and unbiased challenging questions with the hills rep tonight

DW - Hey what do you reckon what happened with jimmy?

PF - yer it was terrible when he died I loved watching the krannies on TV

O yer and this t1 is my nap it was 11-10 this morning on the earlies and is 4-6 now

if PF is going on there have they told him strictly no swearing and shown him the list of topics which are hush hush off limits

Nah pf is phat fill

But  I guess it should have been PP

PF would have to hold up notice boards for us English veiwers

lol

darrell would be like "what do you mean he cant?" "cant what PF?"

lets see what the other trainers do at newcastle think more to come out

Lol .... More like .....can't who ?

Other trainers will do nothing

All petrified of losing living

irish

will wait for all the info to come out if you went by early reports jimmy wright been let down by certain people

you seen it at romford with your trainer doc

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

Yeah agree Dr ... Then again will we ever hear the full story ?

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

got rid of the competition havent they!more chances for them to win the better races.

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

Then all bar jimmy bottled it

Can't see them being allowed to discuss the issue on RPGTV - not when they've got to give out their eagerly awaited Naps and NBs that they don't back, and their lays that they don't actually lay.  And no e-mails will be read out unless they say "Great show as always chaps, I fancy trap 6 in tonight's trap challenge"

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

Glad to be proved wrong - it's about to be discussed after the break..

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

Not one iota of a chance of anyone on there supporting him, they are a gutless bunch of fooking cowards, arse licking pricks the lot of them

As a regular at ncle.dogs some 20 years the track on thursday night looked perfect.be interesting if any other trainers could find fault after racing their dogs that night.The temp.didnt fall below freezing all night

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.

Well said Carly

Indeed.

deptford that's the difference between proper doggie people and them fkin arse licking gutless counts that sit on that sofa every week

You are right mate

what did carly say ,i missed it

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

so true,how can you be sacked for looking after the welfare of your dogs ,its hills that are not concerned for the dogs welfare ,they just want 6 runners a race so its harder to predict

I believe Carly said the vet is no better qualified to assess ground than Carly herself is.

When you think about it she is right.

Vets are trained to administer care to animals, not to assess the suitability of a track.

Does the doctor conduct pitch inspections at football matches ?

A few years ago when i was a kennel hand i was walking around a frozen ngrc track with the trainer during an inspection .There was no possibility of racing going ahead.The vet was inspecting the track and he whispered to my trainer "what do you think" .Trainer replies "unraceable".The vet ambles away a few paces,turns to the RM and calls out "its unraceable".Meeting abandoned.

what a shame the rest of the track trainers didnt stand together. not a lot the track could do if they all withdrew, just seems

strange all the other trainers must have been happy with the ground.??   i wonder if there were any more injurys that night. 

shame 4 staff layed off. 

Poor jimmys knackered now

I think his kennels are north of Newcastle

So the only local tracks that you can train greyhounds and attempt I make some type of living is Newcastle and Sunderland

Both owned by hills so no chance of getting in at Sunderland

He got sick of open racing about 3 or 4 years ago and stopped going to placed like sheff and notts stating a1 prize money at Newcastle was nearly as good

Ok he got a better racing strength now than then

But I gues he will get sick if all the travelling etc

Thank the lord a sensible solution has been found

Was crazy for Newcastle to lose it best kennel of graded greyhounds under the current situation of lack of dogs

Wright said: "I just want to draw a line under things and move on now, but this looks a good solution."   

William hill have seen light re jimmy he was right to pull his dogs out maybe a fined at the most was punishment as a syndicate owner of the youngy kennel he took his dogs out of harlow last year and got a fined only due to issues with the track he now runs dogs there its a joke william hill!
