At the time this IGA December news goes to

Directors.
Iowa Greyhound Association update
O
n October 5, 2003, the IGA board met at 11:00
a.m. at Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino
for their October board meeting. ALL board
members were in attendance, as was legal counsel,
Jerry Crawford. Don Avenson chaired the meeting so
President Bob Hardison could join in the discussions.
The future of the IGA, live racing, simulcasting and the
Iowa Breeders Program were a few things the board
discussed.
The board voted to raise the advertising fees,
beginning in the March, 2004, IGA news and website
ads. It was noted that NOWHERE can you advertise so
cheaply and get the amount of coverage for your
money. The rates will be as follows: Full page ad
$50.00, one half page ad $30.00. Anything less than
half a page will be $25.00. Please have your ads PRESS
READY and send to Gloria Sanders, Executive
Secretary, one month prior to publication. Publication
months are March, June, September and December.
Our NEW by-laws took effect after the August
membership meeting in Ames. Please take note:
Beginning now – all dues for 2004 must be paid by
December 31, 2003, in order to vote at the January 18,
2004, election of officers meeting. The dues are still
$25.00 per voting member. Send your dues to Treasurer
Greg Schipull.
The board addressed the loss of performances at
Bluffs Run for the 2004 season.
*Update – the IRGC met October 9 and voted to
allow Bluffs Run’s request. 11. RENEWAL OF
RACETRACK LICENSE AND GRANTING OF
RACE DATES AND RACETRACK ENCLOSURE
GAMBLING LICENSE.
A. Iowa West Racing Association/Bluffs Run Casino
(BRC)
1. Application for race dates at BRC January 2, 2004,
through December 31, 2004, with six (6) performances:
Matinee performances are requested for Sunday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at
4:00 p.m. Additional performances on holidays and post
times requested are Monday, December 27, at 4:00 p.m.
Thirteen (13) races will be held at each performance.
Other than the above performance, no racing will occur
on Monday. In addition, BRC is requesting to close the
facility June 8-12 and December 19-25. BRC is
requesting to continue year-round simulcasting.
In November, UNLESS a negotiation agreement has
been made with Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino
(DGP) and Bluffs Run (BR), we will be going into
arbitration.
DGP/IGA arbitrators: David Blair, Roger Stetson,
and Rick Olson.
BR/IGA arbitrators: David Blair, Tom Whitson, and
Rick Olson.
We are still waiting on the Iowa Supreme Court’s
decision on the casino tax issue. The court meets again
in November.
The IGA will be looking for an Executive/Promotion
Consultant director. In the meantime, we want to thank
Ron Mullen for DONATING his time to keep the
continued IA Greyhound Association • 3
continued from previous page
website updated. He is doing a great job.
The board discussed track injuries and racetrack
conditions at BR. DGP, in the past, has replaced their
track surface every THREE years. The board spoke
about the need at BR (due to year round racing) to have
a heated/covered/sprint path installed for the safety of
the greyhounds racing there.
The board voted to request the IRGA to implement a
MANDATORY INJURY REPORTING system at both
racetracks.
The quarantine at BR was another issue the board
discussed. *UPDATE – since the meeting, BR has lifted
the quarantine. This will allow the DGP dogs in, when
DGP closes at the end of October.
The Iowa Breeders Program was briefly discussed.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture, we hope, will
look at ways to strengthen the program to insure true
owners of the Iowa breds and females, until the pups
are 6 months of age.
The board looked at preserving the ESCROW funds.
Approximately $27,000 per week is deducted from the
fund to supplement Iowa and regular purses at BR. If
this method continues, in two-three years, the fund will
be gone.
The board addressed continuing simulcasting at BR.
It is the request of the board to be updated better on
what moneys are paid into purses at BR (from live dogs
being simulcasted out and horse and dogs being
simulcasting into BR). Also the expenses-uplink costs,
personal expenses, etc. In the past, on each week’s
purse check, the dollar amount that was generated into
the purses of greyhounds racing at BR was shown on
their weekly statements. Remember, WE pay 50% of
the simulcasting expense at BR, so as partners, should
be kept updated weekly on how our money is spent.
From Bob Rider, NGA Board of Director
District 4B
Some of the things that happened at the 2003 NGA
Fall Meet:
The auction was a success - the brood stock auction
on Friday night was a record $116,500.
The pup sale on Saturday was a very respectable
$1,105,800 - another sale of over one million dollars.
A lot of national attention was given to the $70,000
purchase (a record) of ROOFTOP GIZMO by Gary
Weber. On the following Monday is was the lead story
on CNN’s website.
The Districts and results of the elections for this year
4 • IA Greyhound Association

them.
Ronald R. Mullen, 28008 Barrus Rd., Silver City, IA

National Greyhound Association inspectors.

good sign.
On a sadder note, I was told Friday morning that Bill
Boatwright had passed away.
All in all, it was a successful meet, thanks all for
your support.

Bl Be Mine wins the 2003
$75,000 Dubuque Classic
D
UBUQUE – It was that time of year again when
Dubuque Greyhound Park & Casino ran its 19th
annual Dubuque Classic stakes event Saturday
evening, August 30. This highly celebrated stakes race at
Dubuque started its festivities early in the week with a
Post-Position Draw Luncheon. It began with introducing
the finalists in the Dubuque Classic starting with the
highest point getter:
• 45 points – Deco Fastdodge of the Dog Patch
Kennel was the only dog that won two of the
preliminary rounds.
• 44 points – Pdq Lets Roll of the Lucky Foxx
Kennel a solid grade (A) that could win in either 516ths or 3-8ths races.
• 35 points – Watermelon Crawl one of two greyhounds from the Oxbow-Trow Kennel in the finals.
• 32 points – Pazzo Amaretto of the Sherrets Kennel
who is littermate to Pazzo Kaffe, who won the
$75,000 King & Queen Stakes only a few months
earlier.
• 31 points – L’s Travis of the Gendron Kennel
pulled out a win just when he needed it the most.
• 30 points – The favorite, Lb Horizon of the Oxbow-Trow Kennel current leader in the win category of the Dubuque Course this season. Has
lightning late speed in the DC races that’s tough to
match.
• 30 points – Bl Be Mine of the River Bluffs Kennel
was a tough 3-8ths greyhound at Bluffs Run
Greyhound Park, but ended up getting injured. He
was brought to Dubuque for rehabilitation and
came back from injury to prove his 3-8ths ability.
• 28 points – Rounding off the field another solid
grade (A) Rmj’s Sir James of the Jim Blanchard
Kennel.
All kennels that made it into the finals were invited to
8 • IA Greyhound Association
the post-position draw luncheon. This year Dubuque
Greyhound Park & Casino went with a football theme for
choosing the greyhound’s post. Four football pinatas and
four suns pinatas were each stuffed with a racing blanket
and set on top of a miniature football field. The rules
were simple: the highest point getter to the lowest point
getter picked a pinata. When the Director of Racing,
dressed up as a referee, blew his whistle and yelled
touchdown, the kennel representative threw down their
pinata to the ground, stomped on it doing a celebration
dance, breaking open the pinata to see the blanket enclosed representing the post their greyhound would be
running in for the $75,000 Dubuque Classic.
S
aturday evening’s 12th race was the prestigious
Dubuque Classic race. The leadouts and patrol judge
were dressed to impress in tuxes, and paraded out onto
the track with the final eight greyhounds in front of a
large crowd of spectators. Anticipation grew as the race
was off, with Bl Be Mine of the River Bluffs Kennel
breaking out on top and never looking back, to win with
an impressive eight-length lead. Deco Fastdodge of the
Dog Patch ran into a lot of trouble going into the first
turn, but came back to take second place. Pdq Lets Roll
of the Lucky Foxx Kennel stayed in place up to the
stretch, where he was out dueled to end up settling for
third place. The favorite, Lb Horizon, had also run into
some trouble in the first turn that seemed to have fizzled
out his famous late drive, finishing him in the fourth
place position. Rounding off the rest of the field were L’s
Travis of the Gendron Kennel, who took fifth place;
Rmj’s Sir James of the Jim Blanchard Kennel, claiming
sixth place; Pazzo Amaretto of the Sherrets Kennel,
taking seventh; and Watermelon Crawl of the OxbowTrow Kennel, with eighth.

Greenies won’t leave your teeth green
I’m always looking for something new and different to
provide for my clients. My new thing right now is Greenies.
Greenies are a dental treat designed to help clean teeth,
freshen breath, reduce oral bacteria and aid indigestion.
Greenies were formulated by a veterinarian, clinical
nutritionist and agricultural specialist whose dog “Ivan”
suffered from bad breath - like knock you down bad breath.
So, with a little help they were able to formulate a toothbrush shaped green dental chew that helped reduce the
tartar and halitosis in “Ivan.”
Dental disease is one of the most commonly encountered
problems in pets. Signs of dental disease usually begin to
develop around the age of 4. Home dental care is essential
to the overall health of your pet, as poor dental hygiene can
lead to systemic infection in heart, kidney and liver.
Dental treats are a fun way to treat your pet and help control
tartar and halitosis. Greenies and CET chews are great
follow-up home care, but should never replace professional
dental cleaning by the veterinarian. Studies show that pets
who get routine dental care can live 4 years longer than
those who don’t.

Momoni Harold wins the 2003
$75,000 Future Star Stakes
D
UBUQUE – On Saturday evening, September
27, Dubuque Greyhound Park & Casino ran its
$75,000 Future Star Stakes race. It started out
with 48 greyhounds that were whelped March 2001 or
later that have won their first official start in their career
at Dubuque Greyhound Park & Casino. The odds on
favorite was Pat C Slope, of the Pat Collins Kennel,
winning all his rounds and sitting in the seven post, it
looked to be all wrapped up. But it was a greyhound
from one of our top litters this year at Dubuque that
proved to be the Future Star. Momoni Harold of the
Seastrom-Lovely Kennel had two seconds and win in
his three qualifying rounds. Starting out of the 5-16ths
box in post-position number two, Momoni Harold
broke out third with a strong drive that put him in the
lead entering the backstretch, and gave him a fourlength winning lead to become the 2003 Future Star
Champ. Dk’s Whomadewho of the Bean and Hardison
Kennel had run into a little trouble her last qualifying
round, but ran a clean race in the finals to follow the
leader to the finish to take second. The favorite, Pat C
Slope, broke well, but just didn’t seem to have the late
speed needed to overcome the leaders, but held on to
take the show ticket.

LASERS
No pain, lots to gain
I
f you hear the word laser mentioned, many people
think of Star Wars or Star Trek. Lasers almost
conjures up some sort of space age vision. But laser
use in veterinary medicine is here and becoming a more
popular way of doing surgery.
Laser actually stands for
Light Amplification by the
Stimulated Emission of
Radiation. When CO2 laser
technology is used to cut
soft tissue, the laser’s
energy is absorbed by the
targeted tissues’ intracellular water. This intracellular
water is then rapidly vaporized, along with the cell wall,
allowing the laser beam to cut precisely along the
desired incision line. As laser surgery is performed, the
healthy tissue surrounding the site is no longer affected
by the bruising, crushing and tearing that occurs when a
scalpel is used to cut. The laser beam effectively seals
blood vessels, severed nerves and lymphatic vessels,
which means less blood loss, less pain and less swelling
for your pet.

aser surgery has been used for people for almost 40
years and has proven to be an effective and safe
alternative to conventional surgery. Lasers may be used
for declawing cats, biopsy of lumps and bumps, dog
and cat spays and neuters, entropion repair, oral surgery, wound debridement, removal of skin tags and
small cysts, and numerous other procedures.
Using a laser to do soft tissue surgery is safe, effective,
less painful and allows for quicker recovery and return
to normal activity. What a great way to provide your pet
with nearly painless surgery. In some cases minor
cosmetic procedures can be done with local anesthetic
only. Post operative pain is one component that slows
healing post surgically. A laser helps reduce pain,
swelling, and bleeding because nerve endings are sealed
and incisions sites are usually left alone.
