The ratings system is not fit for purpose with the number of horses we have available. -
So what do horses that win get in rating penalties these days. The conditions of the country cup hasn't changed,so what did mounga get rehandicapped after its last start win. Mounga has had 15 start for 7 wins,2 3rds,2 4ths and 4 unplaced. of the 7 wins,mounga will have been rehandicapped for 6 wins as 1 was penalty free. then it would have dropped 1 point for each of its unplaced runs. No ratings change for the 3rds and 4ths. so in effect it started off on r 50,then assuming its been re rated even a discounted 6 points for its wins(most get 7 or 8 points) then that means 50 plus 36 =86 -4 (umplaced) +82. so how does it end up rated only 79 ,thus allowing it to start off only 10m in the country cups final. Its hard to find a similar horse to compare it to, as the ratings system is so utterly messed up that horses who win early in their careers don't seem to stay around much anymore and who can blame them. But the closest example i could find was the south island trotter Moment of what. Its had 8 starts for 2 wins,2 2nds,2 4ths and 2 unplaced. Going by its current rating,it must have been given 8 penalty points for its latest win. as its r56. 8 points,clearly more than what mounga gets given for his wins.. To me moungas rating seems to have a bad odour to it. The whole ratings system is driving people out of the sport,and this appears to an example of an inconsistent application of the ratings penalties. If anyone can explain how mounga hasn't been treated as others are,then please inform me.Has this horse not been given preferantial treatment? Harness racing has a lot of issues of its own making and the inconsistent policies of the handicappers appear one of them. Is it who you know that the handicappers factor in? -
Not sure where the Ozzies are getting the information that they put on the TAB new site??? The accuracy is very poor! They clearly arent checking the info that they have up as there are heaps of mistakes and you can not rely on it, so they need to look into this big time. HRNZ web site is a far more reliable site. -
Personally I am not believing that Entain is this White Knight for harness racing in NZ! Some of their decision making has been very poor but then they are a ruthless gambling agency and we should be expecting that! There is no sense whatsoever in several of the decisions that they have made, but the TAB and their employees wont be criticising anything as they will be fearful for their jobs!! Not sure where the spokesman for Entain is hiding and it would make sense to Brodie to have appointed a mouthpiece for its NZ TAB! We are getting nothing out of anyone as to the reasons for many of their crazy actions but they don't care as they have control of the TAB in NZ for 25 YEARS!!!!! The new betting platform that is now coming out of AUSTRALIA has nothing at all about improving the service for NZ and it hasnt! It is all about taking it out of NZ and being run out of Australia for 25 YEARS!

You are so drowning in the kool-aid! They had ample time AND money to get it right first time. The fact they didn't and the damage caused on Karaka Millions night has left a lot of doubt in a lot of people's mind. The actions since have done nothing to alleviate those concerns. Anyway this Topic is about mentoring Jockey's and you diverged.
