When you have a scientific background, all it takes is one small thing to pick a fraudster. It can be something as simple as a spelling mistake, that no one who was familiar with science would ever make. I presume from the way you write that you also have a scientific background -
Becks Nairn is constantly speaking down to her audience, she like to present herself as an expert person who has no formal qualifications . Her understanding of fundamental science is scarce not due to her lack of intelligence, but rather due to the fact she is a master when it comes to emotional manipulation. She has made turning of horses into a business idea, and it simply amazes me that people still believe her. She even says that lots of people are not able to understand the simple anatomy, but her knowledge in this field can be regarded as questionable. What she publishes is misguided, and she goes further to prescribe books on anatomy to others, yet the same person does not have the qualifications to read them. It would be a good movie--a film made with blarney instead of substance, such is all this character she has created. You and Chief are intellectual persons; you have the A, B, and C--and the veracity between. It is particularly disturbing what she has done with Arcano. Instances of her seeming to have made two fortunes--at the charity through forcing a horse that was unsound, and after this again through dissection. Reading across different forums, you will find she has been subjected to questioning by people who demand evidence. In most cases, she will tend to vanish, find allies to tempt the opponent and make sure they are ostracised. Any opposition to this is promptly silenced. This is exactly why she is working behind a paywall, so that she can curate the narrative the way she wants to, release erroneous and misleading findings, and make money off of the people who choose to pay her. Should she on any day, happen to enter the scientific world, as I indicated earlier, she will no longer be able to conceal herself. She can attempt to play games in the background or use the work of other people as her own, but the scientific community will not accept it. Her approach will be revealed to them as unverified, unethical, and exploitative. -
That's a fair question but I'd say not too many are doing more than @Special Agent -

Michael and Matthew Pitman’s Ocean Light will return to racing on Wednesday at Timaru. Photo: Race Images South Riccarton trainers Michael and Matthew Pitman will head to Phar Lap Raceway with a strong team on Wednesday, including a trio who have some feature New Zealand Cup Week targets on the line. Ocean Light holds a nomination for the Group 3 New Zealand Cup (3200m) and will take his first step towards the two-mile feature in the Hospitality NZ – SC Branch 1600. The five-year-old gelding will be fresh-up after a six-week break and his trainers are hoping he can continue his good run of form, having won three and placed in three of his last six starts. Ocean Light is paying $8 with betting sites to win at Phar Lap Raceway on Wednesday, with the favourite being Brett Murray’s Epee Beel at $3.60. “We were going to race him a couple of weeks ago but decided not to run him on a real heavy track first-up,” Michael Pitman said. More: How to bet on NZ racing. “The track should be really nice at Timaru, it should come back to a (Good)4 or (Soft)5. We are really happy with him, he is coming up well. “His main aim is Cup Week. He is nominated for the New Zealand Cup, but whether he gets to that race or the Metropolitan (Listed, 2600m), we will just see how he goes in his next two to three starts.” He will be joined in his race by stablemate Epee Beel, who is on a path towards the Group 3 Join TAB Racing Club Mile (1600m) on the middle day of New Zealand Cup Week. “She got mucked up when they dropped the last two or three races at Ashburton (in July) and we pressed onto the Winter Cup (Gr.3, 1600m) and we probably shouldn’t have,” Pitman said. “Her last run (fifth over 1580m at Riccarton) was really good. “This looks a nice race for her. She has got a bit of weight (59kg) to carry, but she has got it because she has won a couple of stakes races. “At this stage she is heading to the mile (TAB Racing Club Mile). She will be better suited to that than the 1400m that’s for sure.” Stablemate Star Ballot will also contest the mile on Wednesday, with the hope of also contesting the New Zealand Cup in November. “He is a firm tracker,” Pitman said. “I think he went something like 15 starts without striking a firm track last prep, it’s very hard to find a firm track for him these days. Let’s hope we have a dry summer.” The father-and-son team will head to Timaru with half-a-dozen other runners and they are particularly upbeat about the chances of stable newcomer Enchanted Delight in the Loveracing.nz 1200. The four-year-old Ferrando mare previously had two starts for former trainers Graeme and Debbie Rogerson, and she made her way south on the recommendation of breeder Graeme Rogerson, who has retained a share in the mare. “We have got an interesting maiden that is having her first start for us called Enchanted Delight,” Pitman said. “Graeme Rogerson has stayed in for a share. He recommended her to me and we have had plenty of horses off Rogie over the years. “She is a nice mare, but whether 1200m might be a bit sharp for her or not. We haven’t trialled her, but her work has been good. Brett Murray rides her and we think she is a chance.” Looking ahead to the weekend, the stable will have strong representation at their home meeting, including Proserve in the Waimakariri Businesses North Canterbury Cup (2000m). “We have got a super team in on Saturday,” Pitman said. “Proserve is in the 2000m. He went well the other day and just got beaten. I thought he was going to win it at the top of the straight but he found one better. “He holds a New Zealand Cup nomination and we might test him over 3000m in that Jericho Cup race.” Pitman is also upbeat about the chances of stakes winner Mystic Park and Group 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) hopeful Student Of War, who will contest the three-year-old 1400m event. “Mystic Park went huge the other day (when fourth over 1200m),” Pitman said. “He was left in front, no fault of Sam Weatherley’s, but he still fought on really well and he has improved since then. “We have got to make a decision in the next couple of starts whether we go to the TAB Mile, which I am preferring to at the moment, or freshen him up for the Stewards (Listed, 1200m, which he won last year). “We bought Student of War out of the Inglis Sale in Sydney after he had a couple of trials. He is a three-year-old by So You Think and he is nominated for the Guineas. He is a lovely horse.” View the full article
