Pattern Committee Report 2025 attached. Report-of-the-NZPC-2025_final.pdf -
As far as I know, Becks Nairn was making $600 net a week when she was working at the charity She got a commission on every horse she could pump through the charity They subsequently employed a manager, a qualified accountant Laura, Mae and another employee helped trained the horses I received some video of Nairn posing with the girls and he was visibly enjoying the exposure. Around 2022, Nairn resigned as the charity's Head Trainer and the manager left around the same date. Apparently, there was something behind the scenes, something that Nairn has not come out publicly to admit. She was even reportedly stood down on the Kaikoura rescue, but seemed keen to remain part of the operation, so the question of why she kept on insisting on being part of the rescue remains open to question. I would question whether she cared much about the horses or it was more about a need to retain a level of influence and access to resources. Her career at the charity has unresolved problems that should be investigated further. I am suspicious of Arcano case. Becks Nairn also seems to have pushed him through the charity, although unsound, which also casts doubt on whether money and commission were the reasons. This is an obvious conflict of interest: she had supposedly billed the owner to school him not in the charity, and had again made a profit by dissecting him. The whole scenario is not congruent. Assuming this to be the case, there is an implication of taking advantage of the horse and the charity as well as exploiting them. Such practices are to be examined more thoroughly and strongly concern ethical issues. -

What date did she depart from the charity? Seems to be April 2023. Nairn was an original Trustee. I see that the last time they had paid employees was in 2022. Only volunteers since then. https://register.charities.govt.nz/CharitiesRegister/ViewCharity?accountId=9fa26d24-5da7-e911-9ba0-00155d6b7730&redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fregister.charities.govt.nz%2FCharitiesRegister%2FSearch%3FSubmitted%3DTrue%26CharityNameSearchType%3DContains%26CharityName%3Dstable CC56878_UpdatedDetailSummary_NOC013.pdf Rules.pdf -

Group One-winning sprinter Crocetti (NZ) (Zacinto) made his first public appearance of the season when winning his 1100m trial at Te Rapa on Tuesday. The Danny Walker and Arron Tata-trained gelding jumped away well to sit outside leader Boss ‘N’ Highheels. He found the lead comfortably under his own steam when entering the straight and ran out an effortless two-length victor over Lachie. Walker was pleased with what he saw ahead of his spring preparation. “He had a nice gallop,” he said. “He is looking good, he is good in the coat, and he has trialled well, so we can’t be any happier than that.” The five-year-old son of Zacinto has been back in work for the last couple of months following an Australian hit-and-run mission in April where he finished last in the A$5 million Quokka at (1200m) Ascot. Walker said he took no ill-effects from the trip and he is looking forward to the season ahead with his stable star, which will likely kick-off next month. “He will probably go to Rotorua on the 12th of October for the Sweynesse Stakes (Gr.3, 1215m),” he said. “We will play it by ear and see how he comes through Rotorua and make a plan after that. There’s not a lot around really until Christmas time.” Bred and raced by Daniel Nakhle, Crocetti has won nine and placed in three of his 15 starts to date, including victories in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) and Gr.1 Railway (1200m), and has accrued more than $1.4 million in prizemoney.
