It was alleged that the greyhound was stolen by unidentified assailants with search and rescue operations by the police having no end until 2013. However, exactly nine years after the champion was stolen, his DNA emerged in one of greyhound events held in Spain. Reports from the Local claimed that two greyhounds that were set to take part in the event possessed Chapapote’s DNA. This called for a massive action to be initiated which prompted the cancellation of the event.

Chaos erupted and the case was presented to the nation’s sports tribunal who will have to sit down and decide on the fate of the event; if it should go on or not. One owner of the two dogs in subject told the Marca newspaper that he had no idea the breed from which his dog came from. He continued to argue that most of greyhound owners are in his similar situation where they have no idea of which breed fathered their dogs. He added that there are other greyhounds that have raced in Spain and some have still been identified to have Chapapote DNA.

The popular race Chapapote vanished and later in 2013 when the police recovered him claimed that it was a group of breeding gang had stolen him. They recovered the champion in a black market when he was about to be sold to other breeding gangs b his assailants. Activist groups who cared for the well being of animals had tabled a motion on how these greyhounds have been mistreated and urged the Spanish government to initiate various methods in curbing the issue.

A British charity that is sponsored by Ricky Gervais and Judi Dench has initiated a strategy to save the lives of some of mistreated greyhounds who are sometimes burnt with acid and cigarettes, others left alone to wander in busy motorways, others hanged on trees while others are left in tunnels to die. Some have had serious injuries with broken limbs, open wounds with others suffering from starvation related diseases after many days without food.

There has been evidence that animal cruelty has been common among various greyhound trainers. This comes after three trainers were found guilty of the act and imposed various punishments. Two of these will have to spend some time in jail whereas the third trainer has been accorded with a long terms suspension sentence. These three men were caught red handed indulging in the Four Corners live baiting scandal.

For greyhound trainer John Cauchi, 18 months in cell awaits him. Furthermore, he was accorded with a 12 month non-parole jail term in the 18 months sentence. The convict who is the current manager of the licensed Boxhill Trial Track based in Western Sydney was eager to plead guilty of using rabbits as a way of luring the ‘bloody’ greyhound. It was evident through a video how Cauchi was trying to excite and entice his greyhound using a rabbit.

John as well as his brother Tony Cauchi did not try to resist their charge and pleaded guilty with over 15 counts of animal cruelty to their names. Tony faced similar sentence of 18 months as his brother. However, the sentence was suspended as it was claimed that Tony had a problem of intellectual impairment.

At the same time, Ian Morgan aged 58 and a trainer of Telopea pleaded guilty of animal cruelty and was accorded with a 12 month sentence. This came after he was caught red handed by a hidden camera back in January using a live possum in attempt to lure one of his dogs.

The video clip showed Morgan taking the possum to Londonderry property of Zeke Kadir a popular person in the industry who is known for his tactics of breaking ingenuousness greyhounds. The evident showed Morgan giving the possum from his car to Kadir.

According to state magistrate Fiona Toose, the trainer was accorded with the custodian sentence after it was evident that the possum inflicted pain and cruelty to the dogs. Morgan has to undertake 9 months of indoor sentence before being granted a parole sentence.

The three convicts were denied a chance to be close to any animal for a period not less than 20 years.

A greyhound trainer Richard William Fall aged 45 has been accused of child sex offences by the Ipswich District Court. It is alleged that William Fall abused a minor aged 10 between February and May of 2014. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

A doctrine presented before the court by Crown prosecutor Elizabeth Kelso claimed that William Fall met the minor after she and her parents moved to a nearby house. They became so close after he offered the girl a job as assistance in cleaning the greyhound with a daily salary of $5.

She continued to tell the court that one day the girl visited William his home late in the evening as one of the greyhounds was to give birth. It is from here that the girl fell asleep and woke up few hours later to find the greyhound already given birth. The accused took her to the kennel to show the newborns only on arriving to hold her close and tell her how much he loved her and in the process tried to kiss her.

The prosecutor went on to claim that this is not the first time the accused was involved in the malicious acts. She went on to say that one day the accused invited the girl for a trip where they would take one of the sick greyhounds to a Brisbane vet. All over a sudden, the car broke down and the two had to wait for road side assistance. This was a perfect chance for Mr. Fall who pulled the girl to the back seat, removed her pants and started conducting oral sex on her despite the girl telling him to stop.

The prosecutor continued to say that in the following weeks, the accused would abuse the minor via digital raping during horse ride and topped it with showing her three pornographic videos on his phone.

The incident came out in May when the girl’s mother asked her daughter how Mr. Fall treated her. Surprisingly, the girl revealed the whole truth which prompted the mother to call the police who detained the suspect. After being interviewed the following morning by the police, Mr. Fall was charged with five child sex offences.

The trial will be lead by Judge Sarah where nine witnesses are to align in court for three days.

There are several tips that should be considered when it comes to greyhound dog racing. Being keen on the value odds and the likely winner will play a huge role in determining the dog to bet on.

Age is another thing that can be considered. More often than not, a male dog with a frequency in running can make to these runs until the age of two where the starting form starts to subside. On the other hand, a bitch is more advanced for it may go for about three years before it retires from racing.

The choice of those greyhounds that taken part in the race several times and have given out outstanding results is crucial in betting. A dog that has been winning in various races is the best to bet on. However, it is advised to be more careful when placing bets on greyhounds that have been on good form but have found are suddenly hit by a run of poor form.

It is also vital to be keen on the trap draws when betting. For instance, a greyhound may perform dismally on trap one but when shifted to trap five, it may show very different results. Another scenario to place a profitable bet happens when a certain greyhound has its odds drop few minutes before the race. More often than not, one should bet on the greyhound at such times for this show that secret information about the greyhound has been revealed especially on its capabilities.

Before making any bet, consider the frequency unto which a greyhound has raced. It has been evident that greyhounds that have not raced for several weeks may be prone to injuries and illness unlike those that have taken part in a recent competition.

One thing that has been put into consideration when waging on greyhounds is the condition of the racing course. On wet grounds, it has been evident that light dogs get it rough. On the other hand, the heavier greyhounds make it a perfect bet for a perfect win. If a lighter dog makes a run on a wet ground, it is likely to slip especially when taking a bend. One thing also emerges from this argument that in a wet grounds, one should bet on a dog that is on the inside traps unlike those on the outside traps.

Greyhound online betting has in the recent seen to improve drastically with this improvement attributed by the incorporation of new technologies. The rise has been evident across the globe with the UK leading the line in the number of punters involved in Greyhound betting.

This radical growth has called for actual global launch of the Greyhound betting by the BAGS in partnership with SIS. The new incorporation of a betting strategy will be played in desktops as well as mobile platforms.

BAGS has been for long led the line in the provision of about 30,000 greyhound races which emanate their base from at least 20 UK tracks in 2015. The fir joins hands with SIS in attempt to bring the most optimistic quality to their operators as they provide the most enticing and top class quality ever.

The main purpose of SIS will be the provision of picture forms and interactive data that will be readily available globally to all bookmakers via the SIS patented Stream streaming platform technology.

The chairman of SIS was happy to be behind the launching of a global British greyhound racing to all bettors on the planet that will have the opportunity to form a basis of interaction to all the products offered.

The greyhound racing is deemed to have a great impact not only to the racing itself but also to all participants. As an online business, it is claimed to bring in the validity, notoriety as well as appeal in the global market. This comes due to the fact that greyhound racing has already found a permanent base where it can incorporate all its entities with bookies such as 888 Sport, bet365 and William Hill Sports having the welcoming hand.

The growth is inevitable since both SIS and BAGS have incorporated a new form of technology that will be crucial in the functioning of the system. Live video streaming will be one service that would be accorded to the UK populace with the help of At The Races. This would in turn bring more patronage, betting activities as well as income. There will be several greyhound venues to be set up too.
