Did the CD trainers do enough? Well obviously not because the white elephant went in anyway. Only someone who did not do their own due diligence would ever dream the AWT's at Awapuni or Riccarton would be self funding. You only have to count up the number of horses in work and divide it into the amount given as required for maintenance over a set term. Then you'd know how much the owner/s of each horse working on the track would have to fork out in this self funding system. Anyone who could not do this simple equation had really been brainwashed by the suits who really really wanted those AWT's in. Many CD trainers were aware of these figures and gave their opinions. What should they have done to project this information? When pondering tbis question consider how many trainers trained for and had an affiliation with RACE. -

He reminds me of Winona Costin. A natural light rider but lacks professionalism. She was dropped by Waterhouse pretty quickly, and she hasn't really recovered. I can't imagine Pinn lasts too long with Te Akau unless it's down south. Hopefully, though, that doesn't happen and he proves me wrong. As you said, he's still a kid. -

It’s only a week to the NZB Standardbred Yearling Sales and HRNZ is here to answer any of your queries. The Sales will kick off at Karaka in Auckland on Saturday, February 15 and then move to Christchurch for a day’s selling on Tuesday, February 18. In all there will be around 340 yearlings up for sale, including 70 from Next Gen sires. The Next Gen – Own The Thrill concept is brand new in 2025. Complete with $600,000 in bonuses, it is a new ownership model devised by HRNZ to attract the “Next Gen” of owners and to showcase emerging stallions. It must be emphasised though that every yearling at the sales is Next Gen eligible as long as other criteria are met. They are that the horse is trained by a Next Gen trainer (non-Group 1 winning trainer as of January 1, 2025) OR is owned by a Next Gen ownership group, with at least 30% of members being first-time HRNZ owners or individuals born after 1984. The Next Gen concept has prompted a lot of discussion since its release. There has been a lot of excitement but also some confusion. So with just a week to go until the first Next Gen-sired yearlings go under the hammer anyone wanting further information or clarification should contact HRNZ’s Head of Racing and Wagering Matthew Peden. He can be contacted at matthew.peden@hrnz.co.nz Footnote : For anyone at Karaka for the sales wanting transport to the races at Alexandra Park next Friday night (February 14) there is a bus leaving the Double Tree Hilton at 4.15pm. It will return after the last race. There is still limited capacity available. To book a seat contact cameron@hrnz.co.nz To see more about Next Gen click here View the full article -

Horse owners are urged to stay alert following the recent detection of Strangles cases in the South Island. While these cases are not linked to the racing community, Strangles is a highly contagious bacterial disease, and vigilance is key to protecting equine health. We encourage all horse owners to take proactive biosecurity measures, monitor their horses for any signs of illness, and follow best practices to prevent the spread of infection. Early detection and responsible management are crucial in keeping our equine communities safe. What is Strangles? Strangles is a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus equi that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract in horses. It is highly contagious and spreads rapidly through: · Direct Contact: Nose-to-nose interaction between horses. · Indirect Contact: Shared equipment, contaminated water buckets, feed troughs, and tack. · Environmental Contamination: The bacteria can survive in the environment for days to weeks under favourable conditions, increasing the risk of indirect transmission. While most horses recover with proper care, the infection can lead to serious complications such as abscess formation in other parts of the body (“bastard strangles”), prolonged illness, or in rare cases, death. Early detection and prompt management are critical to minimise its spread and impact. Symptoms to Watch For: · Fever: Temperature above 38.5°C · Nasal Discharge: Thick, pus-like discharge · Swelling/Abscesses: Around the head and neck (lymph nodes) · Cough: Difficulty eating or reduced appetite · Breathing Issues: Respiratory noise or laboured breathing How to Protect Your Horse: 1. Vaccinate: The Strangles vaccine can help prevent infection or reduce symptoms. 2. Limit Contact: Avoid direct contact and shared equipment with infected horses. 3. Stay Put: Do not move horses to or from affected yards. 4. Travel Caution: Assess the risks of transport, particularly if your horse is unvaccinated. If your horse shows any symptoms, isolate them immediately and contact your veterinarian for testing and guidance. Please click here for more information from the New Zealand Equine Research Foundation. Being vigilant will help protect our horses and limit the spread of Strangles. View the full article
