So if I want to see all the information available without going to full form e.g. apprentice claims I have to use the website on my phone. Which is trading off speed and probably a few other things like auto logging out.

Well done. I watched an episode of the Australian Zoo last night when I got pissed off with the League. They had a 24 yr old Zebra who had been at the Zoo for a long time. His teeth were starting to deteriorate badly and he had started to spit hay out because it was painful to chew. The decision was made to euthanase him while he still had a decent quality of life. Sad but practical. If he had been on the African Savannah a pack of Lions would have picked him off. What worries me about Crematorium's and bowing to the theoretical social license protocol is it will only centralise the focus on part of the industry that is no different to other livestock industries. It won't appease the anti-racing minority but give then another stage to prattle on. It won't surprise me if NZTR starts buying carbon credits to offset the carbon emissions!!

The website seems slower.

Thanks @Debs I'll check if I use my browser on my phone rather than the app if it is there. Yep if you go to the website rather than the app it is there as are the apprentice claims. Begs the question what's the advantage of the app?

Look above where?

Isn't it all part of the "social license" sanitisation process? You can't promote supposedly humane crematoriums on the one hand and publish how a horse got there.

Same for Auckland Cup Day Ellerslie March 9th.

What's the bet no Stewards Vision is loaded for that race!

TAKESHI (M McNab) - Clipped a heel and badly blundered passing the 300 metres dislodging its rider before shifting outwards abruptly making firm contact with DON’T LOOK ETHEL with Apprentice J Nishizuka being dislodged. Also severely hampered as a result was HIT THE SWITCH. Rider M McNab was attended to by the oncourse Doctor and stood down from his remaining ride being transported to hospital for further observation. M McNab was advised that he would be required to provide a medical clearance to Stewards prior to riding next. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which did not reveal any abnormality. DON’T LOOK ETHEL (J Nishizuka) - Severely hampered passing the 300 metres dislodging its rider. Apprentice J Nishizuka was attended to by the oncourse Doctor and cleared of any injury. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which did not reveal any abnormality. N Hailey (SILVER JAVELIN) - Admitted a charge of careless riding in that he permitted his mount to shift inwards when not sufficiently clear of TAKESHI which clipped a heel and blundered dislodging its rider severely hampering DON’T LOOK ETHEL which also dislodged its rider near the 300 metres. Also hampered as a result was HIT THE SWITCH. After considering submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a suspension of N Hailey’s licence to ride in races from the conclusion of racing on Sunday 23 June up to and including racing on Wednesday 24 July, 1 month.

That's a policy decision not a practical decision.

There you go again @Michael you can't help yourself. Can you redirect your obvious anger to discussing the topic?

Why?

Yep centralise reality and provide a photo op for the anti-racing brigade.

But obviously you do as you are fixated on it and you are the sort of person that belittles others as is clearly evident in the majority of your posts.

So @Michael you agree or disagree that there are inconsistencies in the penalties given for infringing the whip use rules? Now don't say - your don't care or you haven't done the research and you can't be bothered. This Topic, which for whatever reason you have chosen to respond to, is about penalty inconsistencies. Now ONE of the examples given may have a valid reason for appearing inconsistent but in my opinion there are examples of inconsistency. Now if you don't care to comment then we can only assume that you take some enjoyment out of driving by and firing a shot at @Brodie.

So therefore if you haven't done the research then you can't comment on whether there are inconsistencies or not. In keeping with your bro'mance with @Brodie you ignore the fact that it was @Nowornever who started the Topic.

But there is and I provided an example which you choose to ignore. For example why do some Professional drivers get fined, some get suspensions, some get the same number of days for widely different number of drives and so on?

A non-Amateur License holder could also be an un-Licensed person which mean they weren't a Professional.

LOL. Says rebranded Michael.

Still no prize money. Still no apprentice claims although on some phones you can see them.

Another drive by finger point by @Michael

It only got to 5 on the charts. The Wet Wet Wet version, with slightly altered lyrics made it to No.1 in 1994 for 15 weeks. They were asked to cover it for a movie. Its rise in the charts no doubt helped by the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral directed by Mike Newall. One of the UK's top directors whose best movie (in his words) was filmed in Hokitika on the West Coast in 1983.

You realise this isn't a free service. There will be significant costs involved for the owners using the service. Hopefully it is their choice not the Trainers passing on the costs. I daresay the service is provided from the Waikato region. Will South Island customers be subsidised?

Why?
