Thomas Pullman, a licensed Hunter Greyhound trainer has been banned from the sport for 15 years after being found to have played a major part in the mass greyhound grave site uncovered near Cessnock.
The Greyhound Racing NSW inquiry into the remains of 99 dogs found at the Keinbah Trial Track in 2015 has found that five trainers were responsible including Mr Pullman.
He ran the trial track between 2009 and 2015 and has had the lengthy ban imposed for being found to have killed and buried a "substantial number" of the 99 greyhounds found, failing to provide veterinary attention, providing false and misleading statements and engaging in conduct detrimental to the racing industry.
His wife Helen was also found guilty of providing false and misleading statements in regards to the grave site and was disqualified for four years.
It appears to have been a family affair - Mr Pullman's daughter Kayla Spliet was disqualified for four years and her husband Corey was disqualified for two years. Both for providing false and misleading statements.
Lastly an employee of the track Wayne Weiss was disqualified for three years.
All will be notified about their rights of appeal.
