As per my post above - you get an A+ for creative writing. NO my stance is not Anti-Racing. I don't spend hours searching the internet on a single issue and selectively post out of context information and pictures I've screenshotted from the TV. -

You didn't mention the fact that the Trainer whipped the horse 40 times and pleaded guilty to the charge!!! Plus you haven't quoted directly what the Magistrate said. A typical ploy on the online Anti-racing mob - being short on the full detail and creative in the presentation!! ...the Court drew on legal precedent, noting the horse was struck repeatedly, restrained by a bridle, vulnerable, and in pain for around four minutes. Date: 6 August 2025 Location: Devonport Magistrates Court On 6 August 2025, the Devonport Magistrates Court convicted Ms Liandra Gray of one count of animal cruelty under the Animal Welfare Act 1993. The conviction followed an RSPCA Tasmania investigation into allegations that Ms Gray had struck a horse, named The Bolt, more than 40 times with a whip, causing the animal to experience pain and suffering. Ms Gray pleaded guilty to the offence. In sentencing, the Court acknowledged her personal circumstances and accepted that the behaviour was out of character, noting she had no prior convictions. However, the Court emphasised the serious nature of the conduct and recognised the shifting community attitude towards animal cruelty. Sentence Summary: Convicted of 1 x Cruelty to Animals – doing an act that causes or is likely to cause unreasonable and unjustifiable pain or suffering, namely striking a horse over 40 times with a whip. Fine: $2,000.00 Court Costs: $101.22 No further orders made under the Animal Welfare Act 1993. In handing down sentence, the Court drew on legal precedent, noting the horse was struck repeatedly, restrained by a bridle, vulnerable, and in pain for around four minutes. The conduct was deliberate and intentional, involving multiple applications of force. His Honour also noted that while this was a single episode, it caused moderate to severe pain and suffering. -
This is an excellent point. If racing was ended, many people in communities around NZ would be impacted financially. Not just people directly in the industry but the many businesses that provide a service to that industry We are a society that has animals that we use, for play, for work, for food, for pleasure. -
Begs the question, if there are no more qualifying races, why do they have to wait until Sat pm to confirm the field. All other fields have been listed
