You often try to support Profit but then suggest it's tabloid. darn right. the guy is looking for Anything to discredit anyone in the sport. The amount of good people he continues to discredit is sickening. Don't buy into his crap mate. Chief knows. he's a budding journalist and has discouraged you many times from that BS from the guy that had to leave your country to try and continue his crusade against racing. sad as sad can be. Anyway lots of drivers , feet leave the footrests , as stated for balance at the start of a race , people see this all the time , To Engage the Deafeners ( you know what I mean . to pull them out they do with foot) we used to do by hand. yes the bit about the whip driving. Brodster noticed. It's true a driver could be very vigorous and drop a foot. But has to put it back up. The critical factor is = Moran (and the Tassie guy Nicholson) MADE CONTACT with the horse legs that was proven, so that meant those horses were disqualified from the race. Cam Harts Foot sitting on a wheel stay ? no where near the horses legs. Who cares ?? The wheel stay is right beside the Footrest. who's to say some part of his boot is not touching the footrest in that photo ? . The wheel stay might be part of the footrests on these carts? . What could you possibly Charge him with ? having a bad sulky' design ?? lol . ( BTW in IMO I think their design sucks lol 😁 ) here's one -

Darwin jockey Sonja Logan after sealing victory aboard Crown Waters for trainer and husband Tom Logan at Fannie Bay on Friday. Picture: Caroline Camilleri (Fotofinish Racepix) After posting 500 career wins last Sunday in Alice Springs, Darwin jockey Sonja Logan once again took centre stage at Pioneer Park on Saturday. Logan finished with four wins and is now the outright leader in the Alice Springs and Provincial jockeys’ premiership. The 32-year-old, who was the leading rider in the Red Centre during the 2022/23 campaign, has booted home 15 winners this season and leads the way from apprentice Dakota Gillett, with 12 wins, and Paul Denton and Stan Tsaikos, who have 11 wins. In nine NT meetings in 2025, Logan has 14 wins and 11 seconds – it’s also the third time she has picked up four wins for the day in the NT. In 2022, the former Queensland and SA hoop achieved the feat on Day 3 of the Alice Springs and Darwin Cup Carnivals. Logan kicked things off on Saturday when the Lisa Whittle-trained Super Sharp – the $2.50 favourite with online bookmakers – snuck home in his first NT appearance since arriving from SA over 1200m at 0-58 level. Next up was the Dick Leech-trained $2 favourite Cavendish, who was also making his NT debut, with the former NSW galloper finding the early lead before claiming the 1400m maiden by four lengths. Terry Gillett’s $3.80 hope Great Buy, an impressive first-up second over 1200m in open company on January 18, lumped 61.5kg and prevented Paul Gardner’s Zesty Spice from making it four straight wins over 1400m when Logan sealed a narrow win over Kerry Petrick’s Venting at BM76 level. It could not have got any easier for Logan when Ray Viney’s $3 prospect Isolyfe, boasting respectable form since relocating from NSW, led early over 1600m at 0-64 level before winning by 13 lengths. Logan’s mount Realtin, Whittle’s $3.50 chance, finished a close second behind Greg Connor’s $3.30 favourite Bold Tropic over 1200m at 0-58 level. Victorian apprentice Hannah Le Blanc partnered Bold Tropic, while Queensland jockey Brendon Newport made it a winning double for Viney when Little Town Blues marked his NT return with a comfortable win over 1000m in 0-70 grade starting at $12 with Blondebet. Darwin jockey Aaron Sweeney was taken to Alice Springs Hospital for scans on a foot injury suffered when kicked by another horse at the barriers before the second race.

It's almost like the stock market now Doomed. Many horses have many owners as the Bloodstock companies like OTI and many others sell micro shares. hundreds are sometimes involved in just a few horses. It's just like having shares in a company on the stock market. (but the company has too much dud stock lol , as well as the good ones. One dud can cost 100's of 1000's dollars sometimes lol) the problem is this .> Only 15% of horses that get to the races ultimately return a profit, after all the fees and lifetime expenses. and a darn lot of them don't even run fast enough to get to the races either. lol. My guess is this Ladbrokes Australia racing Club had Too Many Duds. Only approx one in 10 horses are earning enough to pay their way about the place . 9 out of 10 is a LOT of LOSERS)

I clicked on that link and apparently I'm now a member of the club. I take it all back. I can feel the excitement rising. -
Yes, $1m for the Oaks and all it does is keep a promising horse in NZ for a couple of starts. I suppose the Derby is worth well over $1m. Who is more valuable to NZ racing, the Oaks and Derby favs or Mr Intelligence? I would suggest Mr Intelligence has generated more interest and turnover for NZ Racing than those 3yos will long term.
