It doesn't actually. However the fact is you were both operating on hunches rather than looking at the accounts. That is half the problem with the industry at all levels. They bleat on about decisions being made that are wrong and so on but never avail themselves of the facts. Your assertions may very well be correct but talking in hyperbole and generalisations lacks credibility. I'm not prepping for any job. The fact is both you and @Brodie contended that the ENTAIN and other capital had been squandered. Now if you really want to change things refer to Note 20 in the 2025 report and make a comment on what the $8.5 million that has been allocated to improving breeding levels and directly related stakes incentives SHOULD be spent on. Bleating on for days and months won't change anything - positive solutions will. However those positive solutions aren't non-win maidens at Reefton! You both may wish to look at pages 33 and 34 and see which assets can be consolidated to ensure Harness Racing pays its way. Note Reefton is jointly owned with Thoroughbred Racing - what happens if the latter wants out? Should HRNZ buy their share so you can have more non-win trots at Reefton? -
"She's reacted to the stick and jumped inwards" "Whether she needed to hit or or not, I don't know" Any one who's trained more G1 winners than Ken, please feel free to post an alternative opinion. -
Dont use their promo’s at all except if they text and offer to match deposits, and why wouldnt you? anyway don’t need their free money, just ask to be treated fairly and equally as other punters! They take all bets from some punters what they want, and yet other punters get treated very unfairly! -
So, you agree that blinkers don't stop horses reacting to pain or the anticipation of it, as AL did?

If you don't realise that horses can see behind them and don't realise that blinkers can make a difference, then it might be a good thing that you are no longer a trainer. I can post many head on shots of horses moving their rear away from the whip BEFORE they have been hit in anticipation that they will. As the following diagram shows a horse has monocular vision to the rear meaning it can distinguish what is happening left or right separately. Horses also do not have a great depth perception because their binocular vision is limited. That's part of the reason why horses shy suddenly at objects. A Jockey see's the winning post and determines its distance well before a horse does which has caught out many Jockeys.
