The standing starts in the South Island are atrocious and yet they continue to program them? Over the Xmas period there have been far too many false starts and are consistently inconsistent! How on earth the starter is allowed to continue to dish up this amateur stuff is really quite disturbing for the harness industry! And yet a driver is over vigorous in the Stipes opinion gets fined or suspended, but the employees of HRNZ are allowed to get away with substandardness? -
the jca ruling into a 2-3 second delay of the 10m tape being released in the motukarara christmas cup,made for interesting reading. Apparently,a 2-3 second delay is perfectly normal acocrding to the stipes and the jca has no isssue with such delays. k butt,the driver of kiss the girls noted her horse went to move when the front tape was released,but because her 10m tape hadn't been released due to a 2-3 second delay ,with the starters assistant i guess still waiting for the smoke signal,,she felt her horse was inconvienenced and that the delay was primarily the reason why her horse broke. you can also see iin the video the 20m horses were moving before the 10m horses and they too had to hesitate when they came up behind the 10m horses in front of them. apparently the 2-3 second delaywasn't normal for that tape as it went at the right time. What was also noticeable at the time was a horse on the 20m ,as per normal at motukarara,had to side step a starters assistant standing directly in front of it after the start,with the starters assistant unsure which way to go so as not to get run over.That confused the horse and driver who was about to run him/her over. and it also appeared a starters assisatnt at the back of the field was doing some stretching exercises as he held his hands up high. Maybe he had noticed the delay and was trying to signal something. Someone may need to tell him a 2-3 second delay is normal. and it raises the question,if the starter,the stipes and the jca think its fine to have a 2-3 second delay,why did they have a false start at westport a couple of days before.After all the same thing happened there. Also,the stipes report from westport noted the satrters assitants werwe given advice about that. Was the advise,don't worry about a 2-3 second delay.,as its perfactly normal and acceptable.If it wasn't and was advice on how to release a tape at the same time as the starter does,well i dunno,but whoever the starters assitants are,they didn't get the memo. the whole thing just sounds ridiculous,but its what happened. -

Rider Matt Cameron’s love affair with one of the feature mile races at Trentham each year came to the fore once again when he guided consistent performer Khanshe to a stunning victory in the Gr.3 Ron Stanley Memorial Phar Lap Trophy (1600m) on Saturday. Punters weren’t enamoured with his chances aboard the Fraser Auret-trained Khanshe, allowing the daughter of Mongolian Khan to start at $18 in the Fixed Odds market which was dominated by up and comers Ma Te Wa ($2.90) and Omega Boy ($5). However, those who had followed the history of the race may have had an inkling Cameron was in line for victory as he was shooting for his fourth win in the event, formerly known as the Anniversary Handicap, having been successful aboard Glad in 2013, Abidewithme in 2014 and Seize The Moment in 2017. While the two favourites were in the firing line during the early stages of the contest as both settled in the top six behind pacemaker Khafre, Cameron and Khanshe appeared to be in considerable trouble as they settled last of the 13 runners after being buffeted shortly after the jump. Still last on the final bend, Cameron hooked Khanshe to the outside in the run home and began the chase after Omega Boy, Rusty Lane and Doctor Askar, who were fighting out the finish at the 200m. With several huge bounds Khanshe joined the leaders and burst clear to head home Doctor Askar, who held out the fast-finishing Enrico for second. Auret was delighted to see the patient approach he has taken with the mare beginning to pay off. “It has been a bit of a slow burn with her, and it has taken some time, but she has always had a really good turn of foot,” Auret said. “She has progressed really nicely as that was only her 16th start, so we have given her the time that she needs. “She certainly had more work to do (during the race) than I was hoping for, but Matt summed it up nicely and she does like clear air. “I think next year could be her year as while she won a stakes race as a three-year-old, she is a very fine boned and weaker type, so we are in no hurry with her. “We don’t have any set plans as I wanted to get through today with her.” Raced by the estate of her breeder Rick Orr, Khanshe is out of the unraced O’Reilly mare Folies Bergere, a daughter of stakes winning sprinter Dashing Donna who finished runner-up in the 2009 Gr.1 Railway Stakes (1200m). A stakes winner during her three-year-old campaign, where she took out the Listed Oaks Prelude (1800m) at New Plymouth, Khanshe has now won five of her 16 starts and in excess of $223,000 in prizemoney.
