Same here Tony. Emailed like you suggested about missing best grades, but nothings happened. Can you update best grades for my litter as well, thanks.
Buckeye Bullet - Feature De Ferran - Group 1 Its A Roo - Group 3 Hurricanes Fury - Group 3 Jimmy The Singer - Listed (Feature)
Australia now have Listed races as well, like the thoroughbreds. Are you able to add that category above feature?

This is disgusting. You know it's very important that the dogs best grades are put on Greyhound Data. I hope you realise someone is contributing $25 a year to this site, they deserve better.

And best grades for ALL litters isnt an issue for the site to perform at its utmost? Why bother checking with Data, when its not up-to-date?

Exactly, I couldn't agree more. We don't have encyclopedic knowledge of pedigrees and performances like some fortunate greyhound geniuses have. Besides that it's not like their race careers are clearly described and constantly updated on their pages or that you ever mention their successes here on the forum. Surely as a bronze member you deserve better.

Darren, please stop telling us how much you spend. You are spending to help yourself and your own interests. Have you every even sponsored a race or done voluntary work with different groups within the sport?
Everyone else does exactly the same as you and spent probably more and helped the sport more and has done it for years.
GD needs to improve things thats for sure and we are doing our best and will get there. Just because you find something not working and make a song and dance about it does not mean it will be fixed the next day as this website is now much larger than it was years ago and at times the sheer amount of storage etc. can cause issues.
Rubbishing GD on a public forum only achieves angst for the team that have been putting in long hours day after day. It would be great if you supported us but you have already said in one of your posts you will not advertise with GD but would rather advertise with facebook as it has a bigger audience. Well guess what GD sends out emails shots weekly to 192,000 members who have opted in to receive them in 64 countries on a weekly basis. Our membership currently stands a 277,000 and we are increasing by 700 new members a month.

Good to get it off your chest Tony. I didnt start this topic. Nor did I bring money into it, your mate PD did that one. I merely echoed the posters sentiments and replied to the innuendo by PD.
Good to hear youre trying to get the site up to scratch. As its not just my page, but the entire dog pages involved. Which can only hurt GD, not me!

Hi Darren, you talked about how you have spent your money on various threads. I dont need to get anything off my chest but if you continue to take potshots publicly I will respond. Again we are aware of the problems and we will get to them. The team are doing their best.
Yes Paul is my mate thats why I banned him for years.
Darren, some simple questions have you ever sponsored a race? Have you ever helped anyone in the sport? or have you ever volunteered your time to help others in the sport.
This will come as a shock to you but the answer from most greyhound people would be Yes to at least one of these question

Great to hear youre aware of the issues and intend to fix them.
Of course I have, those that know me well, know its the type of guy I am. I was not long ago contacted by a young bloke, looking to get into the game of breeding and have taken him under my wing, making sure he doesnt experience all the bad this game has to offer the unsuspecting. Even teaching him the art of breeding, because of his completely respectful and eager to learn nature. Ive gone in a brood with him to help him out. The game needs young people and especially ones like him!
