Chief Stipe

Another beautiful ride by Jamie Kah. She's on fire. Geez did you think she'd get Broadsiding hone from draw 17!!!

What's your point? The vet got it wrong? The dog went on to have a comparatively successful career. Good on it. With your approach it would have been banned. Get another hobby or rather obsession. Take up Twitching.

Yeah well she just asked Allan Sharrock the same thing three different ways and not surprisingly got the same answer three times.

I didn't have a bet in the race. No real value. You did say she'd struggle to win a race. Didn't seem that much of a struggle.

Same in this race from Pukekohe. Who would know that the favourite and eventual winner had a 3kg claimer on?

How hard is it to display the apprentice allowances without having to go look at the full form? Guess which Jockeys are apprentices and what their claims are?!

Hezashocka - A beautiful ride by Jamie Kah for the NZ connections including Keith Haub and the Clotworthy's.

Where did I say they couldn't compete? I suggested they weren't treated equally or fairly and that there was an institutional bias in the industry. Your comments just confirm my opinion. Why is it the industry is still perceived to be a male dominated industry run by old stale males? It may be 2024 but it is still perceived to be stuck in 1974. The research paper is dated 2022. Why would an award for a female rising star under 40 year old worry you so much? Perhaps the publicity around the award may broaden the appeal of the industry to a wider audience that is under-represented. 1-s2.0-S0167268122002864-main.pdf

This video would confuse @Huey - a thoroughbred AND a track work rider in the same video.

So it is a different conspiracy theory. So you are saying they nominated 6 and withdrew 2 deliberately. Why weren't there 8 nominations? Not enough dogs? So now you're saying YKGC#476 isn't a conspiracy because the same kennel took home ALL the stake money. Why don't you take up trainspotting or even better twitching (Ornithology)? It'd get you out and about more.

For what? Where was the fraud?

Who knows given your past record on screen shots legs suddenly become fence posts! I asked WHO benefited from your alleged skulduggery? We know the 2 people who backed it got $16 a place.

Um...Clue? Is this YKGC#477?

LOL so you know exactly where the finish line crosses the track? Do you know that the video camera is exactly on the line? Either way it looks like you freeze framed before the line. Or have you upgraded your laptop and software to enable you to scroll frame by frame? Regardless, who gained from this piece of alleged skulduggery? We await Yankiwis Greyhound Conspiracy #476.

Have you changed your mind @Brodie ? I recall not long ago you were highly critical of a few aged geldings going round and round for long suffering owners. Is race 5 at Ashburton tomorrow a claimers race?

I look forward to seeing your petition to cancel the award.

I posted a research paper in the Jamie Kah thread that came to the conclusion that even punters when making wagering decisions have a bias against female jockeys I.e. when choosing between two even horses and one has a statistically better female jockey than the other which has a lesser male jockey the latter will be chosen. Which for the enlightened is great because they will get more value.

There are no rules stopping them but if you think there is zero institutional bias then you are wearing Murphy Blinds, Side Winkers, Ear plugs and a shadow roll. People's thoughts on BOAY are representative of a wide range of attitudes within the industry. I've seen enough sexist remarks on BOAY to confirm there is still widespread institutional bias in the industry at many levels. You doth protest too much.

But you can't say that with 100% certainty as the picture is the result of a photo finish malfunction. You don't even know if the dashed line is in the right place and it obviously didn't capture completely either dog.

Have you seen the Stewards footage?

Yes good on him. Nice to see a 10 and 9 yr still going round. The industry loses too many horses too early. Also good to see most are on a two day back up. Gives a good recent disclosed form guide for punters.

You are blinded by your bigotry. There is ample evidence of sexist bias in the industry. You can read it in the comments a few hardened old group make on BOAY. Didn't you see the sexist comments in the Morphettville Thread? Further evidence can be seen in the employment cases that have been taken in recent times. I see some irony in your mention of Jamie Kah - @Newmarket doesn't share your view as he sees her to be vastly inferior to her male counterparts. I don't see the award as condescending and I'm surprised @Freda agrees with you. Quite frankly by definition all awards are condescending.

It's sickle hocked and a half a hand too short.
