Not too sure though how it is beneficial to punters after the race though? The trainers and drivers will always give a reason and the Stipes just accept it, so not that useful! What would be more useful, would be HRNZ actually advising the punters of why a horse went poor last start or any medicines administered a day or two before a race on HRNZ! How often do we hear just before a race on Trackside of a horse having its hocks injected  or is in season, or a horse is now with another trainer and has been for weeks? Fat lot of use just prior to the start, but would it be too hard for them to do this!      

Who they question is subjective to ones opinion of any horses form. nowornever,i think your just likely to be  very good at doing the form and therefore aren't surprised when some horses perform well. as to the stipes,the canterbury stipes intent is trying to keep the public informed and thats a good thing. Take it or leave it i suppose.. Its more information that some punters will appreciate and i believe implies that the stipes who do that have the right intent when it comes to oversight as well.

lol and I only found out because I brought the book!!!!!   

Gee the stipes must have the toughest job in racing… deciding who to question seems incredibly demanding these days.

yes they are treated as Important. Nigel with his regular people syndicates has 3 or 4 horses at the Dunn's stable. So gets some Wins. They seem like nice small time folk. Allstars and Roy and BarryP . unfortunately were a BIT Too GOOD . therefore just the millionaires get a look in , as pay top dollar for horses and top dollar for training. ( Dixon stable and Pete MCMullen are very dominant in Brisbane as have 4 Millionaire owners each , and near 100 horses between them , so they Dominate the Metro racing Landscape for the same reasons)  All my mates can't compete with that very well so go round and round at Redcliffe. Although one did sneak into town and win the Open Mares race last Saturday night . so that was nice.  NZ will have to do the same as Emma Stewart and the LEE Stable Mr Galah . which is have Syndicates race with as near to the top barns as you can find. KEAYANG ZAHARA is part of the Margaret LEE camp , and they are out in the Bush and look after a LOT of Normal people. (AS in Not All are Super Rich ) How good is that  !!  Here's Keayang Zahara with some of her connections. She'll be winning the TAB Trot at Cambridge very soon . and has lots of Normal people in the ownership Syndicate. So there you go !!  The Best trotter around and money not in the Millionaires pocket ? . How cool !! she earned a half million dollar  bonus for something the other night at Melton too, to split up between them . so Some might be on the road to being the millionaire elite now ? 😎💰😉  Whatta great Sport we Have !!!!  best sport on the planet for regular people involvement. If you let them. 

Good not food sale 😂

Na, wouldnt be allowed enough on! Bonus Bets from TAB, what are they? Lol

Addington 2 year old race on Thursday night at Addington for $17k! 3 from Kentuckiana, 1 Ross Houghton and the other Tom Twidle! What part of owner and trainers do not want to race their early 2 year olds, that HRNZ doesn’t understand??? Why do they really need to run these early 2 year old races that will have limited wagering and is guaranteed to lose money? Can someone please answer, as HRNZ can not keep doing this and losing money for the industry as well as the crap fields in Cambridge on Thursday night competing against Addington? People need to speak up as they are getting away with it and unfortunately at the end of the day it will not end well! Is there anyone that would trust HRNZ to invest their personal money with those at HRNZ, thinking they know what they are doing financially? More than happy to profusely apologise, if Brodie is not correct
