And that's where the wheels come off. The Board appointments that were "jobs for the boys", just look at the history. Rendle, Hannan, Barsi, Hughs, Holden, Rennell. It's a pretty sad line up when you dissect it. Not to mention the outstanding board members like D Scott. And the rest of the board that have come before the RIU as it was. Then the elite trainers like Cole, Wales, Freeman, Schofield, McInerny, Fahey, Weir. that make good RIB decision reading. And if that's not enough, the inability to make the tracks safer, and bring in the experts that have made no difference at all. The story about track death reduction is just smoke and mirrors. Dogs are still breaking bones; the only difference today is GRNZ are spending huge amounts of money to fix them, so the stats don't show them as deaths. It's no wonder we are where we are. -

That should be the focus of every stakeholder. Rather than being distracted by the woke issues the focus should be on the industry being financially viable and strong. That is the biggest reason Greyhounds succumbed - they didn't have enough revenue to fix ANY issues nor fight the fight against an obsessed minority who want to end ALL RACING. Whether whips are used or strikes are counted correctly is not at the forefront in the minds of stakeholders that have significant skin in the game. The issues are getting a start for their horse, having a safe track to train and race on and generally protecting their investment. If the industry can maintain financial strength at an individual and national level then other issues can be fought for or against. -
I do wonder about the whole funding model. If it is uneconomical to add an extra 9th race with 14 starters for $18,500 at a SI meeting, but acceptable to continually run 5 and 6 horse fields in the NI for $40,000 then obviously turnover is only a minor component of the funding model. -

The difference is it was apparent to the Stewards that Bosson didn't act deliberately to interfere with the other horses. For example he didn't bowl over a horse outside him when looking to get a winning run. He corrected his mount once from running in and was CARELESS in not doing so again AFTER the winning post. There was no advantage to him in deliberately running in. There are numerous examples of where Jockeys after the winnning post don't take reasonable care.
