For FUCKS sake NO IT ISNT. It is marking the dog in the system as being no longer eligible to race. Just admit you got it wrong!! You really are a piece of work.

I contacted them because you were banging on about some form of conspiracy. It was published that the dog in question was deceased. If it wasn't how the hell did YOU know. YOU KNEW BECAUSE IT WAS PUBLISHED!! However you manipulated the facts to come up with some deranged conspiracy theory and impugned any number of people and organisations.

But what did they do to renovate tracks in the 30 years between the 40 years and the 10 years? Track failures didn't happen over night. As for new grandstands well that was a waste of money wasn't it.

You make vague generalisations and never provide any evidence to support your views. You can improve your odds of getting a fast horse by selecting on breeding, conformation and other factors. Those in the market may share your assessment therefore it becomes a value judgement of how much you are willing to pay. But until you try the horse you don't really know if it can run nor if you got value for money. That's how any bloodstock market works.

Define what IS a Palestinian person. Your "Palestine" has been ruled by many different groups of people from many countries over nearly 4000 years!

The reason is that because of a lack of regular maintenance and renovation programmes we now face big capital infrastructure bills. The only solution ENterTAINed is to sell off assets and spend whatever cash is liberated on centralising racetracks. The irony is that many of those tracks that are in good condition are that way because they didn't have a lot of racing on them.

When exactly? One thing they didn't do is invest in infrastructure for the future. I remember well the times I travelled all over NZ following my horse (52 starts in all and on course for every one of them). The stable facilities at the majority of tracks hadn't been updated or even properly maintained for what looked like 40 years. That was 18 years ago. I doubt many of them have been improved since. The same goes for the tracks - we are now reaping the lack of investment in renovating tracks on a regular basis. So I take the line "we can learn a lot from the past" with a grain of salt. Arguably the past over indulged and didn't invest in the right infrastructure.

How do you know it's slow before you bid for it? At the end of the day the market paid what it wanted for it. Everyone who bids knows what they are bidding for.

What did you want a red one?

I contacted GRNZ and asked. THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY!!! The deceased dog still has a trainer because the process hasn't been completed yet!!! The autopsy hasn't been received!! It is GRNZ's administrative process. I guess (I didn't ask this question) the trainer's name is still there in case the autopsy produces an issue. Anyway what's wrong with a dog's last trainer being available on its public profile forever?

This is the truth Chazza aka @Yankiwi : Timeline - Big Time Taniwha 10:00am Friday 16 August 2024: Nominated for Cambridge to race 22 August 2024 Friday Night 16 August 2024: raced at Wanganui. Wednesday 21 August 2024, Discovered deceased, GRNZ notified and Massey autopsy requested. Note added to dog's file "Awaiting autopsy" and Dog Unticked as being Qualified so cannot be nominated. Death will be formally entered into the system on receipt of autopsy.

FFS @Yankiwi is that really the best you've got? You are nit picking over a system updating issue. THE DOG CAN'T BE NOMINATED AS IT IS DECEASED! However its race records will still be available on the GRNZ database and will be for quite some time into the future. I would say the dog died after nomination and acceptance but before the race. NOT oncourse as you inferred.

That is a total fabrication. The dog was not oncourse.

So you are now questioning the reputation of the Massey Veterinary Unit. Either put up evidence that they have committed fraud or cease and desist from making your baseless accusations. Again consider yourself WARNED!

Really @Yankiwi don't you have better things to do instead of making crap up? You are starting to skate on thin ice so consider yourself warned. I notice you have conveniently NOT commented on the safety rail you keep banging on about.

I disagree with your comment regarding over valued bloodstock. An auction market sets its own price. Many many horses they couldn't give away but that's a completely different topic. On this topic I get the impression trainers from the very large to the very small are extremely nervous about the situation at Ellerslie. I don't understand how limited trainer involvement and influence has been. You mention Go Racing and elude to Te Akau - both have indicated publicly that there are limited opportunities for young sprinters in NZ hence both having to target races in OZ. For example up until it raced on Wedensday Go Racing were taking Velocious to OZ. Go Figure.

Not in the same league as his predecessors. Runs laterally too much better suited to Fullback.

St Arnaud, Lake Rotoiti.

Well many would argue it's here. I did like the description by stealth.

Less in my opinion. No point reminiscing unless it helps to turn things around by providing real solutions to the crisis that is creeping upon us.

@Yankiwi your list of apologies due is growing. Trainers Stewards GRNZ Feel free to post them here.

Chazza - it IS a safety rail that you have posted.

Big Time Taniwha was nominated for Cambridge at 10:00am. BT Taniwha then raced at Whanganui that night 16 August 2024. It wasn't deceased on 15 August as you infer. Race 7 https://www.grnz.co.nz/catch-the-action/16017/result-detail.aspx

Chazza there have been multiple instances recently where you have either deliberately made "shyte up" or you got it completely wrong.

Spinning and running laterally rather than straight?
