  1. Why doesn't surprise me. Great we agree on that then. I disagree. My father was on the Westland Racing Club Committee for a period and he and some other members were avid Harness Racing supporters and owners. To infer that he and his mates had no influence on what the WRC programmed is ludicrous. But I guess you are used to running things in an autocratic way.
  2. Pzifer's own data shows that vaccine immunity wanes over time!!!! That was from March this year!!!! Natural immunity doesn't seem to wane. Again you can see this in countries like Sweden. BTW what credibility Bloomfield had in my eyes went right out the window when he labelled Ivermectin a horse worming drug. Now the compliant media are repeating it. I have my doubts about its efficacy as a therapeutic or prophylactic for Covid-19 even though there is data from India that shows it does do something. That aside Ivermectin is derivative of Avermectin. Yes its original use was for treating parasite infections in domestic animals. BUT at the same time they started testing in humans and found that it was very effective in eliminating the parasite that causes River Bindness and other serious diseases caused by parasites. Subsequently it has saved the lives of millions of humans in third world countries and has been one of the most safely prescribed drugs in human history!!! Literally billions of doses have been given to humans. Yet the head of our health organisation supposedly leading the pandemic strategy uses misinformation and calls it a horse dewormer!! That is how insane this is.
  3. The model is a crock of shit. Excuse my language but this shit is really doing my head in. "We'll give your freedom back to you if you get injected with this experimental vaccine"....."Oh by the way it doesn't work that well...." "7,000 people will die a year if you don't".... So 7,000 dead at 80% of the population vaccinated over age 5. But less than 500 if we reach more than 90%!!!! Fucking insane. What will be interesting is what the spin will be when the data coming out of England over the next few weeks as they enter the respiratory disease season. You watch they will approve vaccinating under 12s within the next fortnight. Start vaccinating in schools. Justifying it all by saying "look at the UK their problem is caused by not having their children and 90% of their entire population vaccinated". I've started OIA requests but the delays are so long that this lunacy will be ramped up before it can be stopped. The media are a useless bunch of compliant idiots as well.
  4. What I posted are very simple items of data. They are not derived statistics with the intent of proving a hypothesis.
  5. Further evidence to show that Hendy's models are worse than Imperial Colleges! I have to admit that a lot of the shit that I'm hearing from the pulpit of truth is making me despair and very angry. They are now buttering up the public to vaccinate under 12's.......
  6. So this fool Hendy has come out and said that if we don't get over 80% vaccinated we will have 7,000 Covid-19 deaths a year. Aside from the fact that Hendy hasn't got anything right so far can he please explain what has happened in Sweden? Sweden 14,809 deaths since 10 March 2020. So that's 19 months. So if we adjust that figure to a yearly rate we 9,400 a year. Sweden has a population of 11m i.e. twice NZ's. So divide that 9,400 by 2 to get an equivalent rate for NZ. 4,700!!! Nowhere near 7,000!!! Now that rate for Sweden occurred primarily when there was ZERO vaccination!!!!! 71% of those that died were over the age of 70. The average age of those that died of Covid-19 was greater than the normal average mortality of 82!!! 13 of the 14,809 that have died have been under the age of 19. That's 0.08% They all had underlying health conditions!!!
  7. I'll be picky back. Yes I know the Galloping Clubs held the meetings however they were joint code meetings in that both gallops and trots occurred. Certainly the trotting licensees were still licensed by HRNZ. To be further picky one of the oldest trotting cups in New Zealand was run by the Hokitika Trotting Club. There was also a Club in existence when those joint code meetings were held. The members had a significant influence in getting those races staged on the Coast.
  8. They did race there a few times as part of joint code meetings. Westland Racing Club at Hokitika did the same.
  9. Thanks. The price just went bang too!
  10. The Ferris Wheel in the bottom left of the picture brings back memories as well. What was the name of the travelling amusements family that did all the Coast Circuit and Nelson/Marlborough? Candy Floss and Hot Dogs.....
  11. Some irony in that last race from Victoria Park Raceway, 15 March 2009.
  12. This story will wind dear old @the galah up and give @Gammalite a bit of a laugh! I guess the RIU has no retrospective powers for race fixing but I remember my Dad had a number of horses race there. He got a call from the trainer one night to say that one of Dad's horses was going extra. Had a good quiet run at the trials and would win depending on a decent front line draw. "Can you help?" Dad said sure I'll see what I can do. Anyway in those days the local Committee used to do the draws over a few beers and one or two whiskey's. Sure enough out come the fields and Dad's horse has drawn 4. The horse duly won but didn't pay as much as its form said it should. Which isn't surprising given the locals liked a good punt. Over the years Dad got a bit suspicious about how the locals knew his horses were "going off" especially when they'd tell him in the local TAB. He eventually twigged onto what was happening. His horses were trained in Richmond, Nelson and the phone calls to Hokitika in those days were a toll call. Dad always said call him collect. Our phone number was on a party line - i.e. we shared it with others in town. Great way to learn morse code as each particular number ended in a letter. Ours was 895-M. M in morse code is two dashes - so when our number rang we would hear two long rings pause two long rings. Now the Hokitika Exchange - upstairs in the Post Office building (see picture below) was a manual exchange. I think it was one of the last ones to go automatic. So connecting calls required an operator pulling and inserting plugs. If it was collect call or toll call then the operator would patch in on the initial part of the call. What Dad twigged to was that the exchange operators knew when his horse trainer was calling and duly got the oil at the same time as he did!
  13. The final race from Victoria Park Raceway, Greymouth. @Gammalite likes these tight tracks! If memory serves me correctly they used to drive the Mobile over from Addington for the meeting. If you watch closely you will see the horses on the inside clipping the running about 50m past the winning post. Tossed many a drive out. They never ever fixed it!
  14. Watched many a race from here in my school days on the Coast.
  15. Some better pictures from days gone by:
  16. Doesn't look like it! See picture below. Like most businesses in Greymouth the land was leased from the Mawhera Incorporation. http://mawhera.org.nz All the southern side of the Grey River is Maori Lease. Probably the biggest handicap to Greymouth developing. Would make an interesting case study on the property rights particularly when you compare it to Hokitika where the businesses are generally all privately owned.
  17. Paul Shailer granted trainer’s licence for fresh start in racing Paul Shailer in his former role working for Chris Waller. Picture: AAP By Ben Dorries 01:18pm • 22 September 2021 0 Paul Shailer will get a fresh start to his racing journey, granted a trainer’s license and set to have his first runners at Port Macquarie on Sunday. Shailer is a former Kiwi who had a 14-year working association with Chris Waller, most recently as his Queensland stable foreman. Shailer resigned earlier in the year but his pathway to become a trainer was cleared when Queensland racing integrity officials revealed no charges would be laid over a party probe following the Gold Coast Magic Millions. Shailer told News Corp in March he was hoping to resume a full-time career working in the racing industry which he loves. Racing NSW has now granted Shailer a trainer’s license and he has 22 boxes at Port Macquarie on the NSW mid-north coast. It is understood Shailer is keen to build his horse numbers over time, support the local Port Macquarie club and also travel his horses throughout NSW and also south-east Queensland. Port Macquarie is 400km from Sydney and 510km from Brisbane. Paul Shailer. Contacted on Wednesday, Shailer said he was excited to starting his new venture in racing but didn’t want to make further comment until after he had his first runners. Shailer has three runners entered at Port Macquarie on Sunday, including former Waller galloper Relucent which will race in the Port Macquarie Cup Prelude (1800m). Since resigning from Waller‘s, Shailer has sometimes been seen at the races in Brisbane where he has saddled up runners for Matt Dunn. Paul Shailer at Eagle Farm in March, with jockey Michael Cahill.

  20. PaulAlexanderSeptember 20, 2021 1 Comment I argue there is biological and molecular evidence that is clear on why children are effectively COVID immune and can be considered already vaccinated. Yes, already vaccinated and need no COVID vaccine. Leave them alone. COVID injections offer children no opportunity for benefit and only potential opportunities for harms. Children must not be vaccinated with these COVID vaccines, the key issue is they are not needed. No public health official has yet made an argument as to why children are to get these vaccines. Moreover, the developers have not followed the vaccines for the proper duration of time and this is very troubling for we thus do not know what the future will hold for recipients. I am no anti-vaxxer, I support vaccines but they must be properly developed. These were not developed properly in terms of research methodology, the duration of follow-up, the lack of proper safety testing, and the resulting estimates are questionable and especially as to how it is presented to the public. Meant to deceive. The public has been lied to. We have no idea how these will behave longer term in children and it can severely harm our children and may even kill them. Children have a natural protection in that they do not have the molecular and biological basis like adults to be infected and to get severely ill. I am warning the FDA that if they approve this, we run the risk of killing thousands of American children (and global children), harming them with myocarditis and other serious conditions they have been spared of thus far by the natural protection. The vaccine and spike protein is entering the circulation and can have devastating consequences to the vasculature in our children, and may cause clots, bleeding/hemorrhaging etc. There is no reason for his, no sound reason or justification and the CDC and NIH and NIAID continue to be flat wrong on this! There is no medical reason and I plead with the FDA to stop this. Children are not to protect adults, we do not need immunity from children to close this off. We have early treatment, we must properly double and triple down protect our elderly and high risk and offer treatment early, but we must not disregard the natural immunity already built up in the society. The immunity children already possess. The more recent disaster to children of the dengvaxia vaccine for dengue fever provides caution. Children were seriously harmed from it. The estimated IFR is close to zero for children and young adults. PANDA reports that the IFR for those <19 years is 0.003%. Levin reported that the estimated age-specific IFR was 0.002% at age 10 and 0.01% at age 25. Comparatively, the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) reported the IFR as follows: 0-4 years, mean 0.003%, 5-9 years, mean 0.001%, 10-14 years, mean 0.001%, 15-19 years, mean 0.003%, 20-24 years, mean 0.006%. The most updated data by the American Academy of Pediatrics showed that “Children were 0.00%-0.19% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 10 [US] states reported zero child deaths. In states reporting, 0.00%-0.03% of all child Covid-19 cases resulted in death. As to a biological and molecular understanding of the risk, I have brought the evidence together below in a hypothesis that children are already immune and vaccinated. In fact, better than vaccinated with these sub-optimal spike-specific injections that confer a very immature library of immune response. We have strong research by Patel and Bunyavanich (ACE 2 receptor research that showed the limited expression in children), Loske (showing that pre-activated antiviral innate immunity (mucosal compartment) in the upper airways of children),Yang (showing children have memory B cells that can bind to SARS-CoV-2, indicating the potent role of early (prior) childhood exposure to common cold coronaviruses), Weisberg and Farber et al. (showing children T cells are relatively naïve and mostly untrained, and thus a better capacity to respond to novel viruses), and by Galow (showing children do not spread to other children, while it is adults who spread to children). This is the biological hypothesis that can largely explain the very exceedingly low risk in children as to COVID, but what about the epidemiological observational type studies? There are so many showing the low risk in children but here are a couple of good examples. A high-quality robust study in the French Alps examined the spread of Covid-19 virus via a cluster of Covid-19. They followed one infected child who visited three different schools and interacted with other children, teachers, and various adults. They reported no instance of secondary transmission despite close interactions. These data have been available to the CDC and other health experts for over a year. Ludvigsson published a seminal paper in the New England Journal of Medicine on Covid-19 among children 1 to 16 years of age and their teachers in Sweden. From the nearly 2 million children that were followed in school in Sweden, it was reported that with no mask mandates, there were zero deaths from COVID and a few instances of transmission and minimal hospitalization. Again, children have a natural ACE 2 protection that has seemingly served them well and protected them and we must not bypass it by entering the deltoid and then the blood stream. They have been spared of the deaths so far that have occurred in adults due to the vaccines, and it is because of this natural protection and the molecular reasons I have outlined above. Leave them alone, they need no COVID vaccine, this can potentially kill them. The CDC and NIH and vaccine developers are deceiving the nation and have not done the proper research. This is highly reckless and dangerous. Dr. Anthony Fauci must stop this madness, this lunacy, this relentless pursuit he has to inject all the children. To this day he cannot explain why. It was always illogical, irrational, nonsensical, and without any scientific merit. President Trump must come forward and at least stand his ground on these injections not entering the arms of our children. This vaccine program began under him and he must be seeing the troubling issues that are emerging as to safety. We want President Biden to follow and to also stand against these for our children, given the potential for serious harm to our children. There is just too much risk. Parents must stand up and reject this lunacy by Fauci, Collins, Walensky, and the reckless, specious television medical experts. If these public health leaders think our children are to be vaccinated and that these are safe, then they must remove the liability protection from the table they all enjoy. Liability protection protects them and not our children. Remove it if you think it is safe. ‘No liability for you means you will get no trust by parents’. In closing, history teaches us to pause and reflect upon our previous miscues and unforced blunders that had significant consequences. It behooves us to remember the increased incidence of narcolepsy in children in Scandinavian countries following the H1N1 influenza ASO3-adjuvanted vaccine used for the 2009 pandemic (Pandemrix influenza vaccination program). Additionally, the harms caused by the dengue vaccine in children in the Philippines also come to mind that bore a burden on our society of humans. Sanofi Pasteur halted the vaccines in 2017 due to the very dangerous risk of plasma leakage akin to ebola. “It’s a complication called plasma leakage syndrome…he [Halstead] was so worried, he started writing editorials to scientific journals, even warned the Filipino government about the problem…I just say, no, you can’t give a vaccine to somebody – some perfectly normal, healthy person – and now put them at risk for the rest of their lives for plasma leakage syndrome. You can’t do that.” The tainted polio vaccine that sickened and fatally paralyzed children in 1955 in the United States is also worthy of review in this context. The harm that can accrue from a rapid deployment of mass vaccination to the children has not proven to be safe in all the cases. Perhaps this comment is worth noting: “In 1977, for example, a triple vaccination (against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus) from a defective batch left several children blind, deaf and disabled forever. Children are effectively COVID immune and can be considered already fully vaccinated as per biological and molecular explanation above”.
  21. Boris has abandoned the vaccine passport idea as well. Just read an article by a USA Dr pleading that children should not be vaccinated because deaths will be greater from the vaccine but also children appear to have a natural immunity and the vaccine may inhibit that!
  22. Geez with that much dosh the Syndicate could get Big Dave to buy another 20 at the Ready to Run!
