Sent on behalf of COO Darin Balcombe Updated Reinstatement to Racing for Ineligible Horses NZTR are seeing an increase in horses that are ineligible to race or trial apply for reinstatement, as well as a rise in horses returning to racing after extended periods. To ensure that all horses returning from long layoffs or previous retirement are suitable to race, NZTR will now require all horses that have had 12-months or more since a race or trial to follow the reinstatement to racing process. This is a developing policy that NZTR are currently working on to ensure the best welfare outcomes for our horses and see this as a positive step in protecting against potential risks to racing’s image. Ineligible horses are now described as follows: Retired from racing (SR24 completed) Horse imported from Hong Kong (Automatically retired) Horse has had more than 12 months since a race or trial Horses described above as ineligible must now complete the steps below to be reinstated to racing. Reinstatement to Racing Process: If retired from racing, the person who completed the required retirement paperwork must submit a written request to traceability@nztr.co.nz If more than 12 months since last race/trial, a written request must be provided to traceability@nztr.co.nz. Information may be provided by the Trainer, Owner or Racing Manager of the horse in question. These cases will be considered on a case-by-case basis and NZTR has the overall discretion to allow horses to race under the Rules of Racing. If the horse has been imported, information may be requested from the jurisdiction of origin. If my application is approved: Stable Return must be completed Veterinary clearance is required Trial to stewards’ satisfaction This policy brings New Zealand Racing into line with several other international jurisdictions, and we appreciate your cooperation as it’s implemented. Please contact traceability@nztr.co.nz with any questions. Yours in racing, Darin Balcombe Chief Operating Officer New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing 18 Dick Street, Cambridge 3434 Email: office@nztr.co.nz Tel: 0800 946 637 NZTR.CO.NZ Unsubscribe -

Any horse who can win 32 from 53 is pretty good. Probably one of the weaker 3yo years his was. Never did much when racing over seas. From his progeny Chase Auckland 14 from 35 his best performer to date -

It’s very common for great racehorses to fail at stud. A number of NZ and USA imports have been very disappointing over the years. Lord Module, Roydon Glen, Auckland Reactor from NZ & Andrel, Red River Hanover, Nat Lobell from USA as well as Mach Three who was ok but a bit disappointing considering how good a racehorse he was.
