A really good horse that is tractable will buy you time. One thing I noticed and it bought back memories was watching the boots in the foot rest. There isn't a lot to grip is there and if you are a bit short it is even harder. Are the foot rests adjustable? The other thing I noticed with the foot rest is if the distance to it is too long then it is difficult to hold the reins properly as I was taught to do. That is further up than in the video. You have no control over a horse if your elbows are bent and your hands are on your chest. -

Seriously Doomed , people in authority should not spend their time on Social media...may learn the odd thing , very odd ! IMO Posters need to gather their facts and not just guess about things and repeat gossip and mother-in-law research ! I do wonder about you utter faith in the Timaru Cup and the fading club that hosts it....gotta say I enjoyed both codes there back in the day but like Grey Way , they didn;t last forever ! -

Would be an impossible task. However perhaps a statement online on NZTR would have sufficed. From a BOAY perspective I do try to balance things out where I sense something isn't quite right and will play the devils advocate on occasion. In my opinion it isn't individual Stewards necessarily to blame (with one INCA exception) but the lack of Standard Operating Procedures, protocols and systems in place to ensure consistency. Some will call that bureacracy but I think we are well short of having appropriate controls in place. For example raceday protocols don't seem to have an Quality Control systems in place especially when the handover occurs between the Club, NZTR and then to the RIB. -
RIB reports...? You giving that much weight? Please, they have no idea what they are even looking for or trying to report on. External pressures or not, changes for the good regardless. Have you ever seen how some of the Trainers act when something is changed? The push back is ridiculous to say the least. Its almost like most of them don't want anything done, yet times have changed. Woke have spoken. NZ Govt have caved. I am pretty sure PBD racing in NZ come after the UK and then Aussie followed suit, so not sure what you mean by that. Before any ban was even announced. -
Thank you for that Pam. I often think it be a great idea if someone in authority was to keep an eye on comments on places like this and come on occasionally to clarify situations which might often have a simple explanation.
