    @curious you disappoint me. There is a difference when a horse that has just gone nearly 4,000m over numerous jumps on a heavy track and barely makes it over the last jump is whipped to maintain its stakes or dividend bearing place when it is stuffed compared to one in a winning position with 200m to run and has started to loaf around like a goon. The fact you confound your argument so often convinces me you are struggling to gain support for it WITHIN racing.

    How hard would it be for NZTR to provide more information to stakeholders like Trainers, Owners and Punters similar to what Hong Kong does? The graphics when watching the racing HK racing is fantastic. Surely they could have GPS enabled saddle cloths in NZ.

    From what date? Regardless rules are rules aren't they?
  4. Chief Stipe
    To give @Thomass 's milk enough time to get hot enough to add to his Horlicks given it was his bed time.

    Two horse ran faster over 1200m at Trentham on 18 January 2025 than Ka Ying Rising did when winning by 6 lengths in a track record time at Sha Tin today! Mmmmm?
  6. Chief Stipe
    Why does it matter? The principle is the same regardless. What rule date are you working by?
  7. Chief Stipe
    Of course @curious on principle you'll never have Chris Johnson ride one of your horses again given his whip rule violations!
  8. Chief Stipe
    Then don't watch or participate @curious go take up Chess and play online with @Thomass !!

    Bullshit on two counts. One you didn't notice it instantly and you aren't a horseman.

    Good Jockey this Kevin Stott. Hands and heels in the last at Pukekohe just now and lifted the winner over the line!
  11. Chief Stipe
    I'm probably like 99.9% of those who watched and didn't notice it until @Thomass posted. Then again he probably didn't notice either until he saw it in the Stipes report!

    Not ALL races though? I see BETCHA which is normally only Fixed Odds only has Tote Odds for Hong Kong.
  13. Chief Stipe
    I wonder who DID get on at those odds. How? Surely once the initial odds are set they are then done programmatically.
  14. Chief Stipe
    Yeah. I've been thinking the same thing for a while now. The whole shute is a mess.

    I see Jayne Ivil elevated the Wellington Cup Carnival to being the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
  16. Chief Stipe
    I see the fields are up on TABNZ but no Tote yet.
  17. Chief Stipe
    Geez another canter and sprint.

    LISA ALLPRESS HAS SUSPECTED BROKEN LEG Our thoughts are with Lisa Allpress who has suffered a suspected broken leg when injured in the stalls in race 4 at Trentham today. This is so unlucky and so unfortunate given she hasn't long returned to race day riding after suffering a severe back injury last year. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Lisa. The Trentham meeting has been put back one race.
  19. Chief Stipe
    Only if you didn't give them a cut?

    The track looks like it hasn't been irrigated that well. Again it wasn't a Soft 5 for the start of the day and arguably it isn't a Good 4 now.

    There aren't that many spare ambulances to have two sitting idle at Trentham for the whole day waiting for the rare event where there is an accident. One could argue that a fully equipped paramedic on course would be sufficient until an ambulance arrived.

    Trying to mimic what Bernadette Cooper used to do in OZ. When she was in the parade ring at Hastings late last year she just seemed to get in the way. Then you add the continuity presenters in the studio like the Guy "I'm an expert on all sports" Heveldt and horses have been loaded and gone.
  24. Chief Stipe
    Yep and the first 600m will be drone footage or flashes in between piles of dirt and housing! Although there is one of the best Grp 3 Stakes on offer in the World! $400,000!
  25. Chief Stipe
    Thanks for that excellent explanation. I would have thought though the two Grp 1's that don't have ballots and which are in the World Pool would have had odds up.
