    • In your opinion.  In my opinion it is a step towards protecting participants from wild and abusive online remarks by people who have a direct connection to the industry.  NZTR have made many attempts to listen, engage and respond to stakeholders but are faced with irrational and abusive behaviour.  BECAUSE many in the industry don't want to face up to the hard facts. It doesn't undermine their efforts it protects ALL.  I've had administration employees and people working at the coalface contact me directly in tears about the actions of certain individuals on the two forums I've managed.  I've readily hid those comments from public view when asked.  Hopefully these new rules put a line in the sand that clearly states if you cross this line there are consequences.   NZTR didn't have to test that precedent.  The case should never have been taken.  It turned into a farce about 90 horses and an individual "feeling insulted".  @muzenza365 didn't cross the line and subsequently NO precedent was set in that respect.  The precendent was that he was entitled to express an opinion.  The original opinion he expressed was regarding the state of the Awapuni track and the actions of the Stipes with regard to it.  The rest was a side show driven largely by Leo Molloy. The latter did cross the line hence his losing the defamation case taken against him.  That was a costly exercise for all involved and hopefully these new rules give those that can't afford to take legal action some protection. As for your contribution to Morty's case regarding the Bill of Rights Act - that was purely an academic sideshow.  No precedent was set in that regard.  If someone wants to test the new rule if enforced then good luck to them.  I'm sure you'll pull all your old notes out.
    • Elle Sueno (Street Cry {Ire}), already the dam of GSW/GISP Dream Lith (Medaglia d'Oro), sold to Tropical Racing for $800,000. Consigned by Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa, the mare was offered in foal to leading sire Curlin. Her 2-year-old of this year, an Into Mischief filly named Mardigras Mischief, is already part of the Tropical Racing stable as they picked her up for $500,000 at the 2025 Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

    • yip, I'm sure it can be a challenge for many riders with social media accounts!  Even more so for a Woman!  Speaking to a 'aussie jockey mentor' about it,  one suggest is that they have a private acc and a public and if possible the public one should have someone else reading and filtering! of course most riders are not in a position to that! 
    • Marc Gunderson picked up both GISP Ava's Grace (Laoban) and her yearling Into Mischief filly during Monday's Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale, going to $950,000 for Ava's Grace who is in foal to Curlin, and $625,000 for her filly just one hip later. Mother and daughter were both consigned by by Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa. The $950,000 paid for Ava's Grace already eclipses the top price of the 2025 Winter Mixed Sale when a colt by Curlin sold for $775,000.     The post Gunderson Gets Ava’s Grace And Her Into Mischief Filly At Fasig-Tipton appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • The Good Racing Company and Leeds Rhinos have joined forces to help raise funds for motor neurone disease (MND) causes. With the aim of keeping the late Rob Burrow's legacy at the heart of both the horse racing and rugby league communities, they will promote key events and fundraising initiatives to one another's fan bases. To launch the partnership, The Good Racing Company will be the official match sponsor for the Rhinos' game against York Knights at Headingley on Friday, February 20. Lindsey Burrow, who is an ambassador for The Good Racing Company, said, “Rob was passionate about two sports: rugby league and horse racing. It's great to see Leeds Rhinos and The Good Racing Company teaming up to champion Rob's legacy across both sports and continue his efforts to raise funds and awareness.” Leeds Rhinos managing director Rob Oates added, “Together, The Good Racing Company and Leeds Rhinos are giving supporters a dynamic, cross‑sport platform to celebrate Rob's life and help more families affected by MND in his name. We hope every matchday or raceday is a fresh opportunity to continue the amazing fundraising that Rob and Lindsey inspired.” The Good Racing Company set up the Rob Burrow Racing Club which costs £49 for an annual membership, with proceeds going to the Burrow family's chosen charities. They now have 10 horses in training across various syndicates, with their biggest success to date being Alfa Kellenic, winner of six races including the Ayr Silver Cup.
