We are only seeing one side of it. Maybe the Boys Get Paid were being demanding. It seems strange to drop large turnovers like a hot potato. Love or hate whatever promos and groups that come into this sphere, we have been made well aware that we have to have very active punting to keep us all in a job, whether it's from a Lazy Boy, a Pub TAB or under the loud speaker at a racecourse. Every day I'm told by someone that racing is nearly finished. So many bad past decisions, so many looking to line their own pockets etc. You'd wonder how such an important and vibrant industry has come to this. -
I have taken the time to confirm that Becks Nairn charged the owner of Arcano for schooling the horse for the show ring. I possess photographic evidence of the owner expressing gratitude for her training services. Despite this, Nairn later claimed—without any verified veterinary documentation—that Arcano had been “fridge gassed.” This allegation was discussed during a board meeting, yet no supporting evidence was ever produced. Arcano suffered from respiratory issues, yet Nairn proceeded to include him in her “Stable to Stirrup” program. A more ethical course of action would have been to retire the horse to paddock life or consider humane euthanasia. Instead, Nairn pursued publicity and profit, ultimately dissecting the horse and monetising the narrative through emotionally charged storytelling and unverified conclusions. Although she publicly stated that Arcano had been fridge gassed, Nairn insists she does not make diagnoses. She demanded evidence to support her claim, yet none was provided. To date, she has not presented any findings that have been verified by licensed veterinarians. Her current activities resemble exploitation more than education. Nairn is also affiliated with a teaching centre in Christchurch, reportedly backed by an Irish organisation. This centre appears to legitimise amateur dissections under a rural scheme, allowing individuals without formal training in anatomy or osteopathy—such as Nairn—to lecture. Rumours continue to circulate regarding her role in this operation and other things She has advised horse owners to euthanise their animals and frequently acquires horses post-mortem, often with vet certificates. She then publishes speculative and inaccurate findings behind a paywall. These results are not peer-reviewed, and owners are rarely given the full truth. Despite soliciting donations for her research, Nairn has publicly boasted about travelling to Thailand for cosmetic surgery. If she has the means for such procedures, it raises the question: why not self-fund her research or seek a professional loan, as most educated individuals do? She claims to be a high-level classical dressage rider, yet there is no verifiable record of competitive success or production of elite horses. According to my wife, the conformation of her breeding stock is questionable at best. In her interview with Duncan Garner, Nairn claimed to work with the best in the world and emphasised the cost of her education. I found this difficult to take seriously. When I requested Arcano’s results, she claimed they had been sent to the CEO of Standardbred Racing NZ—another unverified assertion. When challenged, Nairn often retreats behind paywalls and curated narratives. She frequently name-drops veterinarians and associates herself with their reputations to bolster her own credibility. When she has none However, I doubt she will ever enter the scientific arena, where truth and accuracy are non-negotiable. Her income depends on storytelling, not scrutiny. In summary: no evidence, no accountability. Yet Nairn rides again. -

I didn't think that interview showed him in a very good light. -
