As far as I know, Becks Nairn was making $600 net a week when she was working at the charity She got a commission on every horse she could pump through the charity They subsequently employed a manager, a qualified accountant Laura, Mae and another employee helped trained the horses I received some video of Nairn posing with the girls and he was visibly enjoying the exposure. Around 2022, Nairn resigned as the charity's Head Trainer and the manager left around the same date. Apparently, there was something behind the scenes, something that Nairn has not come out publicly to admit. She was even reportedly stood down on the Kaikoura rescue, but seemed keen to remain part of the operation, so the question of why she kept on insisting on being part of the rescue remains open to question. I would question whether she cared much about the horses or it was more about a need to retain a level of influence and access to resources. Her career at the charity has unresolved problems that should be investigated further. I am suspicious of Arcano case. Becks Nairn also seems to have pushed him through the charity, although unsound, which also casts doubt on whether money and commission were the reasons. This is an obvious conflict of interest: she had supposedly billed the owner to school him not in the charity, and had again made a profit by dissecting him. The whole scenario is not congruent. Assuming this to be the case, there is an implication of taking advantage of the horse and the charity as well as exploiting them. Such practices are to be examined more thoroughly and strongly concern ethical issues. -

What date did she depart from the charity? Seems to be April 2023. Nairn was an original Trustee. I see that the last time they had paid employees was in 2022. Only volunteers since then. https://register.charities.govt.nz/CharitiesRegister/ViewCharity?accountId=9fa26d24-5da7-e911-9ba0-00155d6b7730&redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fregister.charities.govt.nz%2FCharitiesRegister%2FSearch%3FSubmitted%3DTrue%26CharityNameSearchType%3DContains%26CharityName%3Dstable CC56878_UpdatedDetailSummary_NOC013.pdf Rules.pdf -

Group One-winning sprinter Crocetti (NZ) (Zacinto) made his first public appearance of the season when winning his 1100m trial at Te Rapa on Tuesday. The Danny Walker and Arron Tata-trained gelding jumped away well to sit outside leader Boss ‘N’ Highheels. He found the lead comfortably under his own steam when entering the straight and ran out an effortless two-length victor over Lachie. Walker was pleased with what he saw ahead of his spring preparation. “He had a nice gallop,” he said. “He is looking good, he is good in the coat, and he has trialled well, so we can’t be any happier than that.” The five-year-old son of Zacinto has been back in work for the last couple of months following an Australian hit-and-run mission in April where he finished last in the A$5 million Quokka at (1200m) Ascot. Walker said he took no ill-effects from the trip and he is looking forward to the season ahead with his stable star, which will likely kick-off next month. “He will probably go to Rotorua on the 12th of October for the Sweynesse Stakes (Gr.3, 1215m),” he said. “We will play it by ear and see how he comes through Rotorua and make a plan after that. There’s not a lot around really until Christmas time.” Bred and raced by Daniel Nakhle, Crocetti has won nine and placed in three of his 15 starts to date, including victories in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) and Gr.1 Railway (1200m), and has accrued more than $1.4 million in prizemoney.

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 (NZ) (Ocean Park) holds a nomination for the Gr.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. “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. “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 (Epaulette), who is on a path towards the Gr.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 (NZ) (Tarzino) 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 (NZ) (Ferrando) 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 (NZ) (Proisir) 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 (NZ) (Ocean Park) and Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) hopeful Student Of War (So You Think), 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
