There isn't one Government Agency database that is 100% accurate yet they all express confidence in their accuracy and integrity. I'm sure GRNZ would love you to volunteer and trawl through 40 years of records and find any errors. The fact is the 38 year old dog is dead. End of story. -
Having watched that race last night,i thought i had seen a good race with the winner,Captain hammerhead simply too good. Tact mcleod,after a brief skip early.having his chance but struggled into about 6th and was never going well enough despite getting the 1/1. This morning i read that captain hammerhead ,was disqualified because his driver dropped his leg for about 50m with 150m to go,when fighting out the finish with the second horse,when the two were well clear of the rest. Its unclear whether the driver slipped or the move with his leg was deliberate. Now i think theres no way anyone can really know either way by just watching. He did leave his leg downfor 50m and his horse may well have contacted his leg,but i'm sure we have all seen drivers who inadvertently drop a leg out of the cart take 50m to put it back in the footrests of the cart. So,did the dropping of the leg make a difference from running first or second. To me,there is doubt either way,but clearly over the last 100m,when he driver had returned his foot to the footrest,his horse pulled away significantly to win by about half a length. Now ,o'm looking at that race from a punters perspective. And if i was a punter,i would be outraged at thed decision to diaqualify the horse. In fact i would go as far as tio say,it seemed incompetence by the stipes on the night to do what they did. To disqualify the horse totally when the first 2 were lengths in fron of the field,even if they deemed he had gained some sort of advantage,just seems crazy. In nz the driver may have got a $200 fine or maybe a couple day suspension,but for the australian stipes to disqualify the horse and subject the industry to ridicule or anger,seems total incompetence and just unfair to the horses connections. Clearly HRNZ victoria should look into the competence of thioose making that decision. Notably,the race video has been remover from the austrailan harness website. All other races on the night are on there. Obviously,if it was a justifiable decision then they would have left the video up.That tells a story in itself. I know its australia,and not nz,but punters here would have bet on that race. If you want to see the video,you can see it on the TABNSW website. They have all videos of races that have been run and put the nz harness up far quicker than HRNZ does. Thats one of the reasons i say tabcorp website is far better than tabnz website,for racing.

I think its been a long time coming even before the anouncement with them mostly selling pups the past few years. Still, she was a top conditioner of dogs. Sadly, we will probably see more of this the next year
