finally some communication from HRNZ on the implementation of some changes recommended in the horse utilisation report. Hrnz,via their website news, saying changes will be made to the current handicapping/ratings/programming in 4 months time,from 26 may. Better late than never i suppose. While the handicapping/ratings/programming was the most significant issue dealt with in that utilisation report,there were recommendations concerning other issues. Given the report seemed to talk common sense,i think they should be adopting all the changes originally recommmended. And if not,for the sake of transparency,perhaps HRNZ could explain why specific recommendations that were made,were not going to be implemented. Anyway,the wheels may turn slowly,but at least they are turning i suppose. -

Seem there are numerous legal actions everywhere. e.g.https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/20/kpmg-investigation-entain-frc#img-1 I can see Entain cutting their losses and exiting the NZ contract within 5 years. The good news is that new technology means bookmakers as we know them aren't necessary for racing. The quicker we can say "goodbye Entain" the better racing will be. Whilst at it have a look at the TAB website. Absolutely pathetic in so many ways. Slow to load, jumps about like a Trump supporter, if you click on something it beats you by a fraction of a second by going to say the 5th at Alice Springs dogs. Thats after when waiting for it to jump you've scrolled down only to have to scroll back up. -

HRNZ has decided on the 26 May as the implementation date for new regulations on Handicapping, Programming and Ratings. This revised date was selected for two reasons. Firstly, to release everything at once. Secondly, to cause minimal disruption to planned race series in the autumn (for which conditions have been set), and to avoid significant races from now until then. The regulations will be in three parts: a. Part A – The Rating System. The major IT work for this has been completed. b. Part B – Updated Handicapping Regulation, including programming, and relevant rules where needed; and c. Part C – Update process for nominations, acceptances, scratchings etc. The draft of these regulations will be uploaded to this website in early February. We will provide a question-and-answer responses, and trainers and owners will be able to ask FURTHER questions on implementation. The core of these changes can be found in the Utilisation Reference’s Group’s Second Report that was endorsed by the Board in September 2024. You can read it here The National Racing Bureau is also expected to be operational by that date, with a launch expected on April 7. View the full article -

These six horses have trialed pleasingly in recent weeks and this week they head back to the racetrack. Words (4m Downbytheseaside – Premier Crus) Tr. G Shirley As yet unraced but qualified back in August 2024, won a Pukekohe workout (16/1/25) after trailing in 5 horse heat then dashing along the inside to grab the win in impressive fashion MR:2:05.8, 800m in 59.3, 400m in 27.4 Noted its won another 3 workouts last year and now finally makes a long awaited debut at Cambridge this Friday night and has secured a handy draw over the 1700m in Race 2 Dam by Bettor’s Delight owned by Woodlands Stud and this is her first foal. This mare has some breeding to recommend as a potential racehorse. Auctioneer (4g Orlando Vici – Nia) Tr. T Mitchell Cambridge workout winner (11/1/25), settled last of 7 before putting in a big run 500m out 3 wide and swept to the front soon after, holding on for a gritty win. MR:2:06.0, 800m in 59.7, 400m inn 28.4 Interestingly, bred to trot (same sire as Just Believe) but has won a race pacing (at Cambridge) & gets into a small field this Friday on the same course in Race 3. Natural improver from his last start 7th (17/1/25) which was his first raceday start for near on 6 months, his odds could be quite juicy. Midnight Miki (3g Always B Miki – Weownthenight) Tr. M & N Purdon Freshened after winning his 2yo bonus in October in a 1:56MR at only his 4th start and trialled very nicely at Rangiora (15/1/25) when a close up 4th against some highly credentialed opposition. MR:2:00.6, 800m in 55.5, 400m in 27.3. Sat parked on that occasion and wasn’t extended to get right in the photo at the finish. Preferential draw snares him the inside draw at Addington this Friday (Race 2) and a likely improver from his trials effort. Full brother to Breeders Crown winner Kiss (6 wins + $183k to date) and held in some regard by a leading stable. High Step (4m Father Patrick – High Gait) Tr. R Butt Freshened since last racing in December and trialled stylishly at Rangiora (15/1/25) running 2nd in a 3 horse heat without being asked for a real effort. MR:2:07.4, 800m in 57.9 The winner of 5 races to date and respectable when chasing Keayang Sahara around in the NZ trotting Oaks Cops the pole at Addington on Friday night (Race 3) and looks a revitalised horse since going to the beach at Woodend Ruby Roe (4m Captaintreacherous – Arden Caviar) Tr. N Williamson Back at the Wyndham workouts (17/1/25) and after settling 7th of 8 in indian file, improved in the open from the 600m & not extended to get within a neck of the pacemaking winner. MR:2:02.9, 800m in 56.8 Treks north to Addington this week to take on the best mares in Race 7 and although drawn the 2nd line, the southern mare should not be underestimated. Has won 5 from just 14 starts and most times races in the best company Gem’s Delight (9m Bettor’s Delight – Pocket The Gem ) Tr. B Norman Eyecatching run in the same heat as Ruby Roe (above), came from 4 deep at the 400m & put plenty of dash into her finish to claim 3rd No ‘spring chicken’ but heads to Forbury Park on Wednesday, Race 2 and the country’s top reinsman Blair Orange hops on. Only had the 18 career starts and based on her workout effort she should prove competitive in an open line up. Punters note this meeting being run at Oamaru (all weather) View the full article
