    last year this HB meeting had an 8 race programme, biggest field 8 starters add in a 5 & 6 horse field also its not working .

    One can understand why it's no longer an option when you look at the utter domination of one stable in the country. D Johnson 1.05 ???

    Has this meeting ever been popular from a noms perspective? This sums up NZ racing once again, there are plenty of smaller clubs who could have made better use of the licence from the perspective of doing something positive for Racing, but no come hell or high water the powers that be are determined that centralisation is the only way to go. New Plymouth in the CD doesn't look particularly good tomorrow with only 7 races on the card also. One does have to question the programming at some of these meetings also, I mean how thick do you have to be to not have any idea of the horses available in rating bands.

    Surely you dont need to wonder? The Covid bounce has them believing their own hype.

    Fools running the industry ,who havent got a clue.

    Wasnt Opie Bosson allowed to ride 1 kg over on boxing day?
  7. Huey
    Strip away the hype & BS from that race & its always quite ordinary,made even worse by the fact you have one stable completely dominate every aspect of it , I find it sad that it belittles our G1 races for 2yos & the 2yo pattern in general.
  8. Huey
    Well you can't have owners who buy expensive hyped up yearlings at the sales racing for the same money as the rest of us peasants can you?
  9. Huey
    No. 7 - Titled I think you might have been the underbidder on it .? ;0
  10. Huey
    Why worry about those cheap horses, there is one in at NP on Tuesday that cost $500k that's racing for a cool $10k (well 5k really but you get my drift)

    Where is this American Pharoah colt with more bigger wraps on it than DE xmas presents?

    An absolute legend of a sportsman, so happy to see him break the record. I think Tony Lee said his life would make a great movie...couldn't agree more!
  13. Huey
    He sounds like a lot of others in the sport to be fair who can blame him. One of the few better senior riders riding outside of the cartels , so only go to strengthen their crushing grip on the sport. Only a few more days till they start telling everyone how great shape the industry is in look at the Ellerslie carnival, that usually lasts till about post Karaka sales.

    The point I was trying to make was someone who fronts Horse Welfare should have a lot of depth in their knowledge of the racehorse, someone like yourself perhaps. He most certainly does not, as polite as he is and I dont believe he has the indepth knowledge,industry & beyond relationships to appropriately perform to levels they are attempting to make out horse welfare matters to the industry.
  15. Huey
    Youve lost me abit? But I get you understand that no one there has a clue about racehorses,a big problem obviously.
  16. Huey
    Yep can't in reality work surely.
  17. Huey
    The one thing NZTR are too stupid to recognise is : that there is a high correlation between horses performing to the best of their abilities and the level of care or welfare that is undertaken around them. That being one of the main drivers behind racehorses being so well taken care of.
  18. Huey
    I'm glad others see it for the farce that it is. Of course its only a tick box exercise for NZTR , so its easy to tell everyone you've done something about it but very difficult when you don't know what that is or what needs to be done.
  19. Huey
    Sounds exciting, hopefully its racking in the winners for ya.
  20. Huey
    I see , well best of luck to them both with that.
  21. Huey
    Hang so youre saying you'd compare two runners in the same race last start performances at different tracks based on time i.e. if one ran last start at Trentham and the other at Tauranga as an example and this strategy works for you on the punt?
  22. Huey
    Thomass are you that silly that you compare times from different tracks?
  23. Huey
    Yes one must try to be, but I've never seen the sport heading in the direction it is now. It used to be a sport that involved everyone including communities etc however now its heading in the complete opposite direction. I've only 2 more to go and I'm pulling the plug also , I fear many may feel the same way.
  24. Huey
    I'm stunned so many in the industry believe BS is fixing it. Well perhaps not stunned after years in this industry perhaps I meant numbed.
  25. Huey
    Some are too stupid to see it,there wont be racing in 75% of the places there are now in 3-5 years,wont make it any better though,sit back & watch.
