  1. Please take the restrictions off or I'm . . outta hair
  2. Good on you. So you're a horseman who thought the strips either looked flash?? Or as Jelly Williams thinks wrt Blinkers - "performance improvement after I assessed my horse's needs" Seriously though it's as basic as ipso facto gets isn't it? 6% less energy expenditure = better performance when the whips are cracking. As long as they haven't travelled 3 wide open 'in transit'!!
  3. oh yes definitely muddled . . Knew I'd seen it somewhere!! The Flair website of course . . maybe a bias . . but the developer was a Vet and you know how straight they are . . @7% more accurate? So on an investment I've Id'd as 10 units . . I'm trusting Jelly Williams training ability if he thinks certain new gear will improve an already in form horse . . as identified by moi . . new bet 11 units! The spring-like action in FLAIR Strips supports the soft tissues over the nasal passages (the narrowest part of the upper airway) to reduce the tissue collapse that occurs in all horses during exercise, making it easier to breathe in oxygen. Reduce Fatigue By reducing resistance to airflow to make breathing easier, horses don’t tire as easily so they can work longer and harder. Conserve Energy Horses wearing FLAIR Strips have been shown to exert 5-6% less energy during intensive exercise. Recover Faster When horses’ nasal passages are supported during the cool-down phase of recovery, they are able to move air more easily to cool down and recover quicker. Reduce Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH) FLAIR Strips reduce resistance to breathing, which puts less stress on the fragile pulmonary blood vessels in the lungs, resulting in fewer ruptured pulmonary blood vessels.
  4. It's an exceedingly stupid question . . BUT you're not a horseman's ass . . are you?
  5. Average on an average horse probably . . So Wodger James, Te Akau, Jelly Williams . . are all wrong when quoted on trackside over the last few months "blinkers made a big difference"
  6. No thats on a treadmill being tortured with a jigger . . "blinkers on . . JIGGER . . .blinkers off . . blinkers on . . poly it!!!"
  7. Arks MELODY BELLE why she went 10% faster with them on
  8. Kansas State University College of Veterinary medicine Results showed that the nasal strip did improve the airway, leading to reduced lung damage. "The nasal strip reduces bleeding, reduces the secondary infections that can damage the lung afterward and also may help facilitate the horse to perform better," Poole said. The researchers say the nasal strip may improve performance because it reduces fatigue.
  9. Sorry did I say re signed? That should read RESIGNED. Why after such a short time one may ask? Was he out of his depth?? Transparency issues?? So many ex cops there with so little knowledge of the racing industry.
  10. Here's an idea . . . Wing Dawid up . . arks him . . "Davo . . wtf are you using BO so often when it shits the living daylights out of them . . you abuser"
  11. How does one quantify? Jockey/trainer feedback from knowing the individual . . times . . .dropping the whip and observing the undoubted joy the horse showed when bounding away with gay abandon??
  12. So the adjudicative boffins were OUTRAGED . . . Rarely does a Rider strike their mount so many times in a race. On that basis, the Adjudicative Committee has assessed the 12 strikes as placing Mr Hailey at the high end of culpability. In addition, it is of concern that Mr Hailey breached this Rule at the Auckland Meeting 7 days ago and he does not appear to have learnt any lessons from that breach. Also, his mount, on this occasion, won the race. For these combined factors, there must be an uplift applied to the 5 day suspension starting point. Would Hailey have been so brazen in his cheating if a DQ option was actioned? Ask yourself
  13. Yes, it was tongue firmly in the nasal cavity>>> and that's why you added a laughing emogi😂 confirming such>>> Alor >>> I have seen studies that show @ 10% improvement on average>>> >>> and quelle surprise >>> I add 10% to my investment stake when indulging >>> you?
