i know it looked a bit dangerous the way her cart hit the legs of oranges horse,causing that horse to break,but the rule says shes allowed to manouvre her horse in like that.and mr orange should have just gone on the fence,even if it meant he effectively was diminishing his chances of placing. That is why i've started a couple of topics on it in the past,saying its a silly rule because it can result in potential danger if a horse breaks,as horses being knocked around tend to panic,especially if their legs are hit. the rules been like that for decades. i believe the reason you don't see drivers pushing in all the time is ,i think,drivers have their own standards of safety for themselves and others and their horses anddon't bother to do it. . It can get dangerous when you have drivers who ,when being pushed in,actually believe their horses have a slight advantage so resist the driver outside and jostle,often relating in one breaking. also,in years gone by,i'm aware of cases where the jostling has happened on the bend where the trackside coverage is difficult to say who was slightly in front of who,and the stipes have used the position of the carts to say the outside horses cart was in front of the inside horses cart,therefore that meant the outside horse was in the right.They said the size of the horses was irrelevant nor would they factor in the fact that the much bigger horse who was on the inside,and was not only bigger,but had a cart with cart extensions on. In other words you can have one cart in front of another,but that doesn't necassarily mean the horse who's cart is in front actually has its head in front of the other,given the size of the horse and the length of the cart.So sometimes drivers had got blamed when they shouldn't have. so,i agree with you,its not a good rule,if reducing interference is what they are trying to achieve. -
The last Riccarton meeting I went to there was one race with only one NZ born jockey in it. -
Just out of interest, can anyone explain to me how the NZ Racing Club works? I don't follow that sort of thing.

Their agenda looks pretty clear to me. Collect the salary for as long as possible. Will redundancies be on the cards too? -
They work hard over more distance on their home tracks. You would know better than I Gamma, but is a turn off these miles. Its all good though if the powers that be believe that these miles are good for the industry and is profitable. Maybe the less serious punters do not mind the sprints but I would be pretty sure the turnover suffers majorly from running them.
