    • Consistency in the application of the rules. i've never said i expect all penalties to be the same. in fact i keep telling you the tasmanian case you often refer to,is an example of a breach of a similar rule,but the circumstances  are chalk and cheese and deserve different outcomes.  so really your take on that part of what i've said, isn't accurate . the consistency in the application of the rules is just a basic in my opinion. I don't understand how someone can say,harts foot being in a different part of the structure of the cart and not the footrest, complies with the rule which says the foot should remain in the footrest except when activating gear. on the moran thing,i think your instincts are good and i think what you posted early on m was fair comment,in my opinion.  as to harsher penalties. i get what you say there. but reality is anyone who gets a perceived harsher penalty can appeal and the appeal process is based on ensuring a fair and consistent penalty,based on each cases unique circumstances. so really,i have faith the appeal process of the harness system can deliver fair  penalties. but i get what your saying and would agree that penalities in the courts place far too much significance on the criminals rites and too little emphasis on the impact of the victims and the detterence factor. They make out they do,but you only have to read the court news to feel that the justice system is often out of wack. calling peter profit a woke activist on a mission to destroy the sport is not in any way how i view him. You say hes ripped into robert dunn at times. well maybe he has,i can't recall that. i recall him saying negative things about  john dunn,mark jones and andrew fitzgerald. Well,in my opinion mr profits negative articles on those people actually undermines himself a bit. He opens himself up for criticism drawing conclusions that aren't obvious,i think  he needs to focus more on the obvious,thus should move on from his focus on the aforementioned personalities.Still hes entitled to his opinions,i often don't share them,but hes the one with a successful journalist business.
    • As I've said many times before.  If raceday control is handed over to the RIB Stewards on raceday morning why aren't they off their arses earlier than they are?  Were they there to see the two horses gallop the track as per NZTR protocol? The RIB are the Quality Control arm of the industry however it is about time they dropped the suits and wore some Red Bands and tested all raceday systems including the track well before the first race! Lo and behold was upgraded to a Good 4 AFTER race 1. They wonder why punters have had enough let alone trainers!
    • Leaving the photo finish gear behind is almost like getting all your raceday gear ready the night before and then come morning forgetting to load the horse on the float.
    • The more that happens highlights the need for an overhaul of all systems.  That's a good starting point for the new CEO. As all the errors seem to be mind numbingly simply fixed it begs the question of who employed the people who are making these mistakes and what qualifications do these employees have in the first place?
