    • None of that is necessary. No point in changing something that isn't broken. Just keep applying common sense as has been. Mandatory disqualifications  would just end up with situations where such an outcome would be unfair. e.g. someone accidentally drops a leg when winning by a margin. The victorian stipes used a sledgehammer to crack a walnut and left the perception of fairness and balance squashed for many. but hey,it will all be sorted on on appeal i guess,but perceptions will remain. I'll move on now from this topic. All those chickens that are dieing or being put down because of the bird flu, in the usa, is something that interests me.Quite an amazing story that our media seem to be ignorining.Every time i turn on our tv news,its always about how bad the coalition governement are treating the maoris and also a story about how bad something donald trump has done.No wonder people don't watch them like they used to.  In the usa its being reported 17 million chickens died or were put down because of it in just a couple of months. That bird flu seems to be sending panic around many parts of the world. A lot of the talk about vaccinations to protect the chickens,although i recently read the vaccine they are considering doesn't work on the stain of bird flu killing everything.I read about one big egg laying company who has 6 million chickens who is seeing ten thousand die every day as they try and implement putting down so many of their chikens. The ceo of that company saying what they are doing to halt the spread isn't working anymore. Apparently some of the big companies changed things about 10 years ago ,when they had an outbreak,like busing in workers,workers showering before and after work on sitye,all vehicles coming onto the site of the factories being washed and disinfected. If i was a chicken or bird living in otago,i would be feeling a little bit concerned about my and my neighbouring featherr friends welfare. coincidencwe they put down all those laying chikens at that big pultry farm and then not that far down the road,as the crow flies,they have had all thsoe birds die of what they say is botulism.

    • It's a good thing the Oaks is run at Trentham. Still banned from Ellerslie, I'm guessing?  
    • Depends what their objective was. They've cleared a lot of yearlings off their property so don't have to carry them anymore nor spend hours trying to sell or place them somewhere else.  Perhaps they have a new strategy - Studs that have been round for a long time have quite a ruthless approach to culling non-performing or marketable stock.  They aren't emotionally attached! Also many overlook the cost structure for a stud.  The largely own all their assets, put their own mares to their own stallions and have bloodstock taxation write off's.  So the sales margin for them is a lot different to Joe Breeder in Taihape.
