HARNDEN CHECKING ON OVER-RACING..
Pete Harnden, the trainers representative on GBGB, has been checking through the racing results for evidence of over-racing following the launch of the new ARC/SIS schedules three weeks ago.
He said: “I can’t find any evidence of there being a problem at this stage. I think there have been some teething troubles with tracks frantically qualifying dogs.
“Perhaps the best example was Henlow. They had 120 dogs trialling this week and most of them are now ready to race. In fact, Kevin Boothby (promoter) was telling me that from from having a runner shortage, they are now having to turn dogs away.
“It is pretty much as I expected. I was bought up with Henlow-type trainers, grass roots dog men. They have never over raced their dogs. They just don’t do it.
“If you check out the statistics for dogs with the most racing in a year, they have always been from the big professional kennels at BAGS tracks. I will keep monitoring it but I don’t anticipate a problem.

 Mr Paul Ephremsen
Paul Ephremesen said: “I’m delighted to have won the vote for Practitioner Director (Owners) and hope I can make a positive contribution to the Board in the coming months. I intend to ensure that, over time, owners throughout Great Britain have a voice and have new communication channels for their ideas to be heard. This is not a one man job and I fully intend to seek the help and support of many owners to achieve some common goals. I hope this can be the start of a new, more open way of communication between the GBGB and greyhound owners.
“I would like to mention Bob Boswell, the other shortlisted candidate who I met during the process. I hope to be able to work with Bob, particularly on his specialist area of welfare and I will be in contact with him soon.
“I will be making every effort to focus on the issues mentioned in my manifesto and promise to approach the role with enthusiasm, openness and honesty.
Bob Boswell said: “I would like to wish Paul all the best in the role and would be happy to work with him to promote the interests of greyhound racing in general and owners in particular. I attended the count which was carried out professionally and efficiently by Barnes Roffe staff and, although I’m naturally disappointed, I am delighted that there was such a good level of interest.”
GBGB Chief Executive Barry Faulkner said: “I would like to congratulate Paul and look forward to welcoming him to our scheduled Board meeting on 18th May and working with him thereafter. We were fortunate to have two excellent candidates for the ballot. I would like to thank Bob for his involvement in this process and would hope that his talents will continue to be available to greyhound racing.”
JANUARY 25, 2018Paul Ephremsen the director representing owners on the GBGB has resigned with immediate effect.
He have given two fold reasons for his decision:
– the “significant challenges” within his business combined with the hours involved in his role within GBGB
– criticism from within the board who “have not appreciated some of the blogs and columns I have written in the last few months.”
Fellow director Pete Harnden said: “I am absolutely gutted at Paul’s decision, I think he has done an excellent job, though I do understand that his business has to come first. I intend to keep fighting for what I believe in.”
