This from someone who couldn't read a basic auctionaring to and fro that my 10yr old Grand Daughter could understand (although she is a member of the 1% club) "FFS @curious the same bid watcher had both of them in his sight. So I'd say no extra bids were taken. The camera shots don't show you where the current bid is." Seriously, how could you be so lacking in perception? Do you have cataracts and/or need hearing aids? .Here, educate yourself with the HK situation. However I dont have much hope you'll care a squat about horse welfare given that you said "nothing wrong with horse's being struck with the whip between the ears" Giving horse's furosemide is a disgusting procedure that has no place in modern day thoroughbred racing and thank goodness an insightful jurisdiction like HK bit the bullet. BTW, this is a classic example of irony, NZTR's supposed commitment to horse welfare but still rubber stamping the rapid dehydration of horses to allow them to be worked harder "The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) is a prominent, strict proponent of medication-free racing, with a long-standing ban on the race-day use of Lasix (furosemide) for both training and racing. Key findings from studies and observations regarding the HKJC's approach to Lasix include: Longevity and Performance: Research conducted on Hong Kong's racehorse population, which competes without Lasix, indicates that Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH) does not necessarily shorten a horse's racing career. Study Findings: A study titled "Descriptive analysis of longitudinal endoscopy for exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage in Thoroughbred racehorses in training and racing at the Hong Kong Jockey Club" found that while EIPH is common, it varies in severity, and there was no significant difference in the career longevity of horses based on whether they experienced EIPH (EIPH+) or not (EIPH-). Performance Without Medication: Observations by HKJC officials have suggested that horses are able to perform at a high level without the use of Lasix and can recover quickly between races. Comparison to US: The studies in Hong Kong serve as a contrast to the widespread use of Lasix in the United States, with HKJC officials noting that their model demonstrates that racing can be successful without the drug. The HKJC enforces a policy where horses that suffer severe, repeated instances of bleeding (epistaxis) are subjected to mandatory retirement, focusing on the health of the horse.

So? Again you are being selective in what you quote out of context. -

Yes on BOAY I do sometimes take a proactive approach. Unlike other some Social Media site managers who choose traffic over decency and honesty. On other occasions I have had my attention drawn to abusive or defamatory posts by those affected and I have also chosen to hide those posts. I'm not sure what your standards are but the posts in question would surely even fail your "social license" test. -
should try for it anyway. Lead and won the race last year. seems a winning formula to try again. The 2 New Zealanders were drawn one and two and were very close at the post too ( beaten a metre or 2 only) on that occasion. so maybe Republican Party can make up for that narrow miss last year? , and take Victory this time ? sitting behind the leader. I hope so .Carter is making a great go of it with this horse lately and would love to see him take it out. Kingman was quite extraordinary in the huge Victoria Cup, NZ Cup , Christian Cullen treble late 2025 . phenomenal wins . we are truly' spoilt for good horses these days. can't write him off as a chance as you mentioned.
