    I must say the muzzles aren't much chop.

    You say a few times but can't give any dates. Yet we still seem to have a long way to go when you see the sexist rubbish and bias posted by a few old males on here. If you read the paper I posted it seems that this bias is reflected in the value that punters place on a horses chance.

    If it uses the same assumptions as previous reports then the contribution is inflated. Without reading it I'm guessing it doesn't provide a Net Contribution I.e. Gross contribution less subsidies, tax relief, handouts, etc. It's the Emperors Clothes Kool-aid. We think we are doing well because ENTAIN is spending shareholder's money on stakes!

    What do you mean "kinda right"?! A four horse field went round 12 November 2023. Make that 100% correct. Don't get me wrong I don't see a problem with a 4 horse field as under the rules it is allowed. Profit wise it probably isn't much less profitable than any number of races. The issue I have which @curious raised is why can a 7 horse field? What criteria was used? Where is the consistency? It seems much like the time when NZTR needed abandonments because they budgeted for them. If every race scheduled had gone ahead they wouldn't have had enough funds for the stakes.

    Proof. Evidence.
  6. Chief Stipe
    Yep. No standard pattern. Therefore open to integrity questions. Geez earlier in the season I saw a race at Tauherenikau that had four acceptances.

    They love to CHASE and CATCH and KILL.

    Where's the evidence? Why would we take your word for it? Your assertion fails on many counts but since when have under 14 year olds been riding track work? Still waiting for the Facebook link.
  9. Chief Stipe
    Nearly all pubs have free broadband WiFi. Can't be that hard.
  10. Chief Stipe
    This thread is about under 14 yr old pony riders.

    What's a newbie? First task is to retain those that are interested now.
  12. Chief Stipe
    How do you ride two horses in the same race?
  13. Chief Stipe
    Agreed. Photoshop fail by @Yankiwi
  14. Chief Stipe
    More of a reflection on your crap post.
  15. Chief Stipe
    I agree. Beau is aged 11. Are we that desperate for track riders that NZTR is bending the rules?
  16. Chief Stipe
    Facebook is a bottomless pit of misinformation. Can you provide more information or a link?
  17. Chief Stipe
    Proof? Detail?
  18. Chief Stipe
    @Huey has found another way to manifest his Te Akau hatred.

    WTF? You're a misogynist dickhead. Her looks and your preferences are irrelevant. These women just cleaned up the card at Morphettville. Give them some credit rather than denigrating them. Why does their success scare you? They certainly diminish @billy connolly 's limited achievements on horseback and yours.
  20. Chief Stipe
    Why does it matter? They are involved.
  21. Chief Stipe
    A legend in your own lunchtime. But you'd struggle now as the average female jockey would be better than you. Of course no one would comment on your attractiveness or use that as a criteria for asking you to ride their horse.
  22. Chief Stipe
    So three times in OZ and NZ in the last 4 years but zero before that. Yep - happens a lot!
  23. Chief Stipe
    Maybe we could all chip in and buy a house in BF OZ and pretend to be in residence.
  24. Chief Stipe
    Shame you didn't get it done earlier - might have improved your riding record.
  25. Chief Stipe
    Hell you talk some shyte. Every horse is different. 27 for some horses 24 at the elite level can induce significant wear and tear. Some horses can't sustain less than that without injury.
