   Death of Tasmanian champion greyhound Raider's Guide prompts renewed calls to shut down the industry
Raider's Guide, which had claimed a Tasmanian record of $664,975 in prize money from 79 starts, was put down after suffering a fall during Race 6 at Launceston on Monday night.
The 4-year-old stayer bumped into another greyhound on the first turn of the race, forcing it to tumble and the race to be abandoned.
According to the stewards' report, Raider's Guide was then taken to a veterinary clinic, and a post-race examination revealed it had suffered cervical spinal injuries which eventually proved to be fatal.
TasRacing confirmed that Raider's Guide was euthanased as a result of its injuries.
TasRacing chief executive Andrew Jenkins paid tribute to the greyhound.
"He was not only one of Tasmania's best, but, nationally, Raider's Guide was a true champion, and he showed that as recently as last month with victory in Queensland,"
  Mr Jenkins said.
"He will leave a legacy on Tasmanian and Australian greyhound racing for many years to come."

	It takes a wise man a lifetime to grow a tree and a fool five minutes to kill one.

	That’s devastating. I’ve backed him every start bar this week due to the prohibitive odds. Been in my black book forever. They only greyhound to be so. Shattering news 😰😰😰
