Not that I can recall. What will also be interesting is how they measure the financials - return on stakemoney?

Actually you'd have to lay Ellerslie as didn't they race most of the year at Pukekohe?

Was he James Bond as well?

Ellerslie raced but elsewhere e.g. Pukekohe.

Give Kingston a call or one of the many trainers at the meeting. Or do they not talk to you either?

Why don't you give Kingston a call?

NZTR Club of the Year Award Finalists Announced New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) is thrilled to announce the finalists for its revamped Club of the Year Awards, set to be awarded at the 2024 Industry Development Day on 26 March. Each New Zealand racing Club was assessed against a performance framework including the following categories: Financial, Racing, Marketing, Governance and Innovation. The selection of finalists and winners will be presented in three distinct categories: Metropolitan, Provincial, and Country Clubs. An overarching Club of the Year Award will also be presented based on these assessments. NZTR Chief Executive Officer Bruce Sharrock is pleased to implement the revised Club Awards framework. “We see our Club Awards as playing a pivotal role in recognising and celebrating the outstanding contributions and achievements of New Zealand’s well-performing racing Clubs.” “We identified some key principles driving this initiative and have aimed to elevate the significance of these Awards by presenting them at our 2024 Industry Development Day held on 26 March,” Sharrock said. Adding further appeal, Entain Australia and New Zealand will provide a $25k prize fund distributed across the three classifications: Metropolitan, Provincial, and Country, with each receiving $5k in prize fund. Additionally, the Overall Club Award winner will be granted $10k in prize fund. Entain - New Zealand Managing Director, Cameron Rodger, is looking forward to rewarding the Clubs for their success. “This year, Entain wanted to award a prize fund for Clubs that will support Clubs and encourage them to engage in activities that promote oncourse wagering throughout the remainder of 2024.” “We look forward to working closely with winning Clubs on bespoke initiatives, all of which will be aimed at driving wagering interest and growth,” Rodger said. NZTR has outlined the finalists for the three categories below. 2023 Finalists (in alphabetical order) Metropolitan Auckland Thoroughbred Racing Canterbury Jockey Club Wellington Racing Club Provincial Otago Racing Club Racing Tauranga Whangārei Racing Club Country Kumara Racing Club Riverton Racing Club Wairarapa Racing Club Corporate Communications New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing Contact: Emma Thompson +64 21 071 2929 nztrcommunications@nztr.co.nz

You open yours and don't let your fantasy's get in the way of facts.

I'll think you'll find Mark Walker uses them much less than Jamie Richards.

Then why do the majority of the best horses don't need them? In my opinion they are over used and often by trainers who are covering for their own inadequacies. As for a horses vision - I would have thought the more a horse could see around them the better.

Lord Module would never have been allowed to race under today's rules.

What the hell does this post have to do with the Topic?

The allegations were investigated and covered at a public meeting at Addington December 2023. The few staff changes at Addington and the pending appointment of a new Chair are totally unrelated to the investigations or allegations.

...achieved what exactly? Hint: thousands and thousands of words posted on a forum and purely collated statistics isn't an acheivement.

Now can you explain the link between what you wrote in your first post and the link? Or have you joined @Yankiwi 's and are using obfuscation, inference, innuendo and suppostion?

How is the link related to what you have written? This one may be more relevant but then... https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/christchurch-grc-1-february-2024-heard-26-february-2024-at-addington-raymond-casey/

They're not all cheats some are born natural racehorses.

Then how in your opinion is Sweden "light years ahead of us"?

What about a performance review?

Hasn't done anything for their bottom line.

Oh OK we have to read "between the lines"! Is there anything else you make up? How was The Winning Post?

Less but I kept my eyes and mind open so learnt more than you have in less time.

Only rode as far as Kumara.

So have you achieved anything yet?

So @TAB For Ever were you on course at Ellerslie on Saturday?
