Gear additions are to correct a problem. To fix the core problem takes time - time = money. If a horse of ours starting hanging all of a sudden we would look for a reason why. Was it sore? Were there problems with its teeth? Putting a boring pole on with a pricker on it just distracted the horse from one pain to another.

Doesn't mean it's right. In fact I would say it is a reflection of poor training and education. Plus a need to get earning money as soon as you can. Often a gear addition is to remedy a problem that hides another problem - a lugging/boring pole is a classic example. "If a plain pole doesn't work then put a pricker on it"....

Given your namesake 'Gammalite' I thought it was more productive to whip harder and longer. Maybe sit in the death seat and start whipping with a round to go!

Maybe you should change who breaks your horses in or pre-trains them?

Bollocks. So a horse that can run 11 secs can suddenly run 10.5?

What are you referring to? If it is "Blood Spinning" you are referring to then why not say it? Innuendo only serves to suggest something else was happening. If you know that to be the case then where is the proof?
-
Is that a question or a statement? If the latter how do you know it ISN'T being used?
-
But you still didn't know BEFORE the race. Still didn't make the horse go faster and I imagine there were just as many cases yesterday where new gear didn't prove to a winning move. So will Enthaar have blinkers on next start? She seems to have a shyte load of head gear already. A guess a bit more might get her head down which I hear is good from stamina.

Seems the BGP have let you in to the club finally.

We are all still waiting for you to tell us how to identify if they work BEFORE a horse races - not AFTER. Guess they Probabeel though as she never knows she is travelling 3 wide and getting a bad run.

Heaps of people are complaining. Under the new laws it could cost the TAB plenty.
