Can we get back to the original topic which was harness related. If it goes off topic again I'll close it down. I don't approve of live baiting. Woops sorry off topic!

Where do they have the jumpouts in Hong Kong? One or two locations in a closed system. Are you suggesting that every jumpout in NZ is videoed? Waste of time and money. A better idea would be to reduce the number of races and make a policy that says trial form counts for gaining a start.

You were probably videoing your own horse. Hard to control all your appendages when that is happening!

Gavin - you are the one that is constantly off topic. If you consider my post condescending or abusive of Ardern then do move on. In my opinion it was neither of those.

As you know I'm a proponent of free speech hence BOAY however can we keep the party political broadcasts to another part of the forum? E.g. Other stuff or The Vent. In any event you've nearly driven me to off load on a topic that I generally steer clear of on BOAY - the site is about sport and racing. But I will say this Arden's minority government is as dangerous to the principles of democracy as is Trumps to the great republic. Her Government IS a MINORITY government patched together with the looney greens and the reincarnation of a Maori Muldoon whose narcissistic ego is only matched by Trumps. As far as I'm concerned it is open season on Ardern for the fact of what she has done and is doing to democracy in this country. She has no principles but has glib shallow political slogans. There are numerous reasons why I detest her Government but here are a few: 1. It is a minority Government - the Labour Party did not win the largest percentage votes of any party; 2. It appears Labour spent 9 years in Opposition sitting on their arses and have no policy instead we now have a plethora of committees and even stage managed conferences to develop policy. All under the guise of "reaching out", "engaging communities" and "inclusiveness." See it for what it is - the circumvention of democracy and the determination of government policy and action by committee which reports back to the politburo; 3. Unilateral policy making by Ardern without consultation of cabinet or her coalition so called "partners". There has been more than one example of this but the one that sticks in my mind is her decision to stop oil and gas exploration. That single decision may eventually force us to third world status. The lower income workers who diligently drive to and from work to help produce the goods we sell to the world won't be able to afford $3 a litre for petrol let alone $5. 4. Lastly the "first baby". For a start it isn't the first baby my own is first. I've always said if there is one thing that I do in life it is to keep my baby safe - nowadays that includes keeping her safe by respecting her privacy. Neve's mother has used the "first baby" as a political prop, has not defended her privacy, has paraded her on stage at the UN (albeit an empty one) and carted her across the world and all the attendant news media. What for? To further the cause of working mothers (real ones are struggling to pay for the fuel to get to work)? Or further her own cause? Geez.....you should see when I really off load on stuff political!
