GBGB have launched an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the export of ex-racer Havana Class to China writes Floyd Amphlett.

The matter is being handled by Director of Regulation Phillip Law who has been forwarded contact details and related texts from the story covered on this website yesterday.

Concerned racegoers can expect a robust investigation into the movement of the dog following his departure from Liz McNair’s kennel. With no direct flights from Ireland to China, it seems only natural to assume that the dog will have flown from a UK airport.

That paper trail, including the flight date and details and the name and address of the person who made the booking, can all be traced through DEFRA, under whose authority the Greyhound Board operates.

The exportation of greyhounds to China is contrary to GBGB Rules of Racing.
