    Given the all clear in todays stipes report.

    Grassroots racing is where it all started, can't understand why they would want to take it away, for me it has much more appeal than the snooty metropolitan racing, with totally different atmosphere, very sad times, but good on them for putting up a fight, let's hope sanity prevails.

    Agree with you, even the staying races follow the same pattern.

    Looks like they have upgraded their advertising hoardings over there, have not seen any there before.

    I agree with brodie, didn't think it was over excessive, the wife given me more whip than that, only when I have my leather undies on.

    Old story, hammer the battlers, and pussyfoot around the rest, almosting telling them to hang up the reins, I guess there will, come a time when they will walk away.

    Fair call, mind you he did ride horse some time back, never on the track, 3 wide, the trip with big weight on a heavy track, hence to say where he finished, and the feedback, from stipes report was, did handle conditions, needless to say, horse backed up a week later, same track and conditions, different rider, and wins, new rider said he relished conditions, that certainly had me beat, funny to say the horse preformed his best in those conditions there after. Would you believe me.

    Yep, those races aren't cheap to enter that's for sure, interesting she started considering she don't go a yard in it, mind you, I've have heard that old chestnut many times over my life time, so don't let it scare me off a punt, that's for sure.

    Can't believe you wouldn't back her in a group race, even a small bet. Times must be tough there in reefton.
  12. Shad
    Thought she went a very good race, from a wide draw, you can never write them off, good place price to, hope you got plenty.

    Wonder when the dust settles, whether their will be an appeal.

    Seen a rating 78 battler win an open class race, carried 52kg with the 2kg claimer on, wins well, then gets 5 points and carries 58.5kg in a listed race, with no claims, seems a steep jump in the weights, drops 1 point for an un placed run.l find the system hard to fathom, how many kgs does 1 point equal.

    Fair enough you would do your own, with all that experience, I was always told, if you gonna wreck a horse, you may as well do it to your own specifications.

    Bit of discipline never hurt me as a youngster, and that's just the way it was back then, I never used any term as you described as belt or bash, but I can tell you, every horse he broke in may not have been the fastest, but were very well disciplined, when they got to the races, sometimes pussyfooting around just makes the issue worse.

    I some years ago seen a horse get a couple of reminders from what would be frowned upon today without going into to much detail, I inquired why this action was taken, to which the reply was,the bastard was gunna kick my head off, remember there is some nasty types around and if not taught a little discipline, can result in life threatening injuries of even death in some cases. We have seen the odd person lose there lives from horse injuries.

    I for one won't be supporting that overrated, over priced, kumara meeting, which only leaves greymouth, a real disaster to lose reefton and hokitika, and will the northerners travel down for two meetings, sounds like the death of the coast racing is only a matter of time, if you go down, you yo down swinging, Good on reefton for fighting for their future.
  24. Shad
    Most seem to ride into those tight corners, instead of riding around them, and we see the same every year, but with out these overseas riders the meetings would be compromised, the pace easing seems to happen in most staying races, and just a sprint home.

    Only if you got the leather undies on.
