    • Well one would think so in certain areas...but the angle I'm coming from is ENTAIN has to protect brand reputation and any criticism of an industry per se directly affects their bottom line  I've publicly criticised the industry INTEGRITY arm on many occasions and if ENTAIN finds out wtf it is then this 'persona' is in for the chopping block imho call me a deranged, hypochondriacal paranoid despot if you want...no skin off this nose   
    • its hard to find horses paying reasonable prices these days. the bookies have the best chances too short,then the tote just follows the prices of the favorites in. Then if you get matt cross tipping the same horse,they end up paying even less. been following my wingman,only paying $1.85 to win today. should win,but $1.85. the best value always seems to come at methven. my tips for methven are race 2. Mithali for aplace at $4.80,race 4 hes a loch at $41 w $8 p,race 5 just easy$26 w and $6 p and race 11 jrtoilen at $2.90 p. so i will tip a multi of my wingman/win,mithali/p,hes a loch p,just easy w  and jr tolilken p. For a $1  investment i expect to get $5356.  Maybe i will do just easy for a place multi as well and collect $1236.or throw in hes a loch to win in that first multi to win and get $27,451 for my $1. don't say i didn't tell you beforehand.  
    • If he HAD crossed the line, he would have been close to being found guilty wouldn't he. Same thing.
    • UNWRITTEN RULE (c, 3, Justify–Jewish Guilt, by Curlin) was one of the few first-timers in the field in this rained-off sprint debut. Prominent throughout from just off the leader, the 5-2 second choice kept things tight into the turn through an opening quarter in :22.44. Moving between rivals with just over a quarter-mile left to run, Unwritten Rule burst clear of Troubleonthegreen (World of Trouble) to win by two lengths. Glen Hill purchased Jewish Guilt for $425,000 as a yearling from Keeneland September 2019. That mare, a winning daughter of Curlin, has since produced a 2-year-old Olympiad filly and a filly by Girvin this year. She's due to Army Mule this term. 8th-Tampa Bay Downs, $34,300, Msw, 2-5, 3yo, 5f (off turf), :58.13, gd, 2 lengths.Sales History: $575,000 RNA Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $18,240.

    • I think this statement is pretty close to the mark.  If you read social media you could very quickly come to the conclusion that the industry is close to self-destructing.  What % does social media represent, don't know but you would have to say very small.  A large percentage you would hope are getting on with racing horses for money that has never been higher in NZ, sustainable or not. Social media also tends to attract a bitter type with an axe to grind, who can let off steam anonymously.  Probably makes them feel better. Wightman defends his continued personal attacks on the FB group by saying, he has huge support because the numbers there have grown from 4.000 to 7,000. I guess the counter to this, and a phenomenon that Pete Lane alerted me to, is that misery loves company.  Seems to be the way across all social media, people flock to someone having a go If you look closely at that site, it is a small number of people, many of whom have radical views anyway, making a lot of noise. NZTR will never engage social media, anyone who thinks that is deluded
