    • It use to be, that by being of course! you have agreed to the rules!  back in a  day it all that stuff used  to be written somewhere in most racebooks! But as usual!  one needs to steep back and ask why to they focus on this sort of thing! what is the Kaupapa behind it!  In whose interest? At a guess, its to show that they are doing something! The odds of them pacifying a few that they are concerned about is $1.01.  for a couple it would be BADGE OF HONNOUR!  if they are challenged!!!   Odds on it would turn into a shit storm! and the old "Streisand Effect" would kick in! If would fall off the 'racing media' into the main media....  The Streisand effect is a phenomenon where attempts to suppress, censor, or hide information backfire, resulting in the unintentional, widespread publicization of that information, typically via the internet. 
    • This is exactly the point I am trying to make. The same thing applies to the Rules of Racing which is why I think the proposed rule change won't make any difference. Licenceholders have to adhere to a higher standard via the code of conduct that they have agreed toAbuse (legally) has a meaning. That has a way different threshold to how it is bandied about here. It has to be harmful and persistent to be abuse, not just someone claiming their feelings are hurt. It's thankfully rare in racing social media.
    • I don't know, perhaps someone else will know how far the net extends, and what jurisdiction NZTR has over them
    • A daughter of Gun Runner won the $100,000 Las Virgenes Stakes at Santa Anita going one mile on the dirt Sunday, but it wasn't the one everyone expected. Bridlewood Farm and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners maiden winner Meaning (f, 3, Gun Runner–Figure of Speech, by Into Mischief), fourth behind Eclipse champion 2-year-old filly Super Corredora (Gun Runner) in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, bested not only Super Corredora, but also GII Oak Leaf Stakes winner and Juvenile Fillies runner-up Explora (Blame), the lone 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' in the field, Sunday. “This is a filly we thought highly of from day one,” said Eclipse Thoroughbred's Aron Wellman after the Las Virgenes. When the gates flew, Super Corredora was ridden hard from the outside to secure the front as Explora found herself in tight along the rail. Both wanted the lead, but it was Explora who got her neck in front at the :22.57 first split while Meaning bided her time serving as caboose of the four-horse field. Meaning joined the top two on the outside after the :45.98 half, with Super Corredora the first to throw in the towel as the trio exited the turn. Meaning and Explora laid it down in the lane in a heated battle, but it was Meaning, despite slow to swap to her proper lead, who got up in the final strides to win by a length. She got the mile in 1:39.39. Explora held for second, while maiden winner Bank Shot (Game Winner) finished third.

    • Rolling like an express train late, Yellow Card (Lost Treasure {Ire}) gave his connections an emotional victory to kick off his 2026 campaign in the Clocker's Corner Stakes. A runner-up in the GII Eddie D Stakes three back Sept. 27 at this venue, the Michael McCarthy trainee missed the board in his last two jumps for that season–namely, the Stormy Liberal Stakes at Del Mar where he ran fifth and last out Dec. 29 when he finished sixth in the GII Joe Hernandez Stakes. Sent off here at 3-1 odds, he caboosed the field as the frontrunners posted an opening split in :21.71 and four furlongs in :44.03 under constant pressure. Yellow Card, who had been crowded to the back earlier, took the overland route coming into the bend and was asked to close from widest of all as they swung into the lane. In front of him, Virat (Bayern) was trying to fend off challengers, but the pack overtook him by midstretch with Yellow Card and Sorrento Sky (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) coming best of all. Inhaling that competition, the eventual winner cleared off from the runner-up to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Virat managed to hold on to third.     CLOCKER'S CORNER S., $101,000, Santa Anita, 2-8, (C), 4yo/up, 6fT, 1:08.05, fm. 1–YELLOW CARD, 122, h, 5, Lost Treasure (Ire)–Paris Girl, by Pulpit.
