I'm getting sick and tired of the old men and women moaning about every little thing they can find with what they perceive to be wrong. Yes @Freda I'll quote from the Leo Molloy playbook - most of them haven't acheived a great deal of success in racing and are blaming anything they can find for that lack of success. Racing is a tough brutal game for lots of reasons not the least of which is you are dealing with a 500kg animal that is not only tough but fragile, that is not only smart but dumb. PS: @Murray Fish I don't put you in the moaner category by a long way. -

yeah right! I will say my insults when I am standing in front of you! Do you get out much, or is it 100% social media worrier! baby!! Ponder this, most times I am on course I will have a brief chat with the stipes on that day! I do find that they give me their time and ear! 95% of the time the topic will be 'unsafe tracks' perhaps that is the approach that you might like to try! re Jockeys, On the surface, there is a lot of gilts and glamour! In reality many are often challenged with weight and the reality of 'dieting' and the challengers that go with that sort of thing! Then having to produce top physical and split second decisions in the race! mistakes are made! rules are broken! The best stipes know that and take that on board! Then of course! Any 'work place' mistake can get serious media spotlight! I could continue in this vain! but sigh! I really am getting tire with 'things racing', very soon I will be gone.... -

i see n40 racing had the first of its 3 high priced purchases from last years yearling sales,line up at the trials last week. The questions i have are ..is it normal for horses sold at nz yearling sales a year ago, to not change ownership officailly. ..And is it normal for the stipes to allow horses to start at trials,knowing that hrnz has the owner as someone who hrnz themselevs have publicised is not the owner and of course the stipes would have known that. I mean,maybe it is within the rules for hrnz to let horses start,when they obviously know the owners listed aren't correct.Will the stipes not only allow it to start at the trials,but can it race under ownership that sold it over a year ago. maybe someone can clarify what hrnz allow,i have read the rule . Is there some type of preferential treatment being shown for a big player,or does hrnz and the stipes allow all owners to run horses at trials and races,knowing the owners shown arenot the actual owners. . i note all 3 of the horses bought over a year ago at the sales by N40 racing, are still owned by the breeders who sold them at the sales,according to hrnz.
