That's right nod... ..and as an old doyen boss of the game once suggested to me... ..."them olde days had big mobs of horses running together throughout their early years" ...you don't get that these days on Boutique type studs too true
-
As a 'horseman' myself of many years I know that he knows wtf he's talking about You and silly old Chief there...licking your icon....wouldnt have a clue about what that means... Just remind us again the performance sans Blinkers you said matched or bettered all its other performances?? A benchmark 1000M...correct?

Yea I'm relly relly f in stupid....Ive tattooed that across the noggin... ...that'll be repeated on here ad Infinitim just so your moron mates can get off on it... ...to believe Redzel's trainer is wrong to think his charge "relly relly needs blinkering" A Horsemen v a dickhead ignoramous statsman Give up
-
99.9 % of people...other than those in the practice of sophistry... ...wouldn't share their 'opinion' that a trainer is simply wrong to be Blinkering up REDZEL You should get that tattooed across your noggin...just in case you offer more advice to Redzel's trainer...in person Then he can laugh in your face
-
You deserve a piss Take due to your very own stupidity Only you would try to argue more information is "guff" Theres totes nothing wrong with a brief description as per Racing Vics if a punter is unfamiliar with a course But you even think tweeting is a waste of money...where no money changed hands id jit
-
As I've told you before Email Redzel's trainer...tell him he's wrong...simply wasting wear and tear on using Blinkers ...and while you're at it tell Lisa Latta she knows nothing about horse psychology Then tell Rodgy it was a huge mistake adding Blinkers first time in 34 starts on VL.... ...what a waste of time you is
-
I think the 'point' stands out like a shining f in beacon That you're not a horseman's ass... ...butt you know better than an 'actual' horseman who lives and breathes his charge and it's idiosyncrasies...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this type of info... ...it especially gives an overview to Punters unfamiliar with certain courses... Only an ignoramus wouldn't want to know the 1500M starting point had a short run into a bend Yarra Valley is a 1684m long track with a short, 232m long straight. The 1500m and 1950m stating points have short runs into the first bend and barriers/tactical speed can be important. The 1200m starting point is the most generous with a long run out of the chute and down the back straight before they navigate the home bend.

And NZTR have a 'special' page on their Welfare site New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s vision for thoroughbred welfare “A thoroughbred should be provided a good life, with the care and conditions that will allow the horse to thrive and perform to its natural abilities, with minimal discomfort and an absence of suffering.” New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing recognises that understanding animal welfare perceptions and the actual welfare implications about using whips is a significant matter for thoroughbred racing.The racing community considers that using whips is necessary for: Safety - as a measure to steer the horse and minimise potential collisions and falls Integrity - encouraging due effort from the horse if used when in winning contention or achieving a stakes bearing position. Current rules and guidelines limit whip use and are regularly reviewed in collaboration with the Racing Integrity Unit (RIU), veterinarians and the New Zealand Trainers’ and Jockeys’ Associations.Currently, the whip rule and guidelines state that a rider shall not strike a horse with a whip in a manner or to an extent that is unnecessary, excessive or improper; nor strike a horse forward of its shoulder. Rule 638(3) A Rider shall not: [...] (b) strike a horse with a whip in a manner or to an extent which is: (i) unnecessary (ii) or excessive (iii) or improper. Without affecting the generality of Rule 638(3)(b) a rider may be penalised if their whip use is outside of the following guidelines: Inside the final 600 metres of a Race, official trial or jump-out a horse may be struck with the drawn whip up to five times after which the rider must cease their use of the whip for a minimum of five strides before striking the horse again with the drawn whip, with this restriction to apply prior to the final 100 metres. The whip may then be used at the rider’s discretion until the winning post is reached. Prior to the final 600 metres of a race, official trial or jumpout the use of the drawn whip is acceptable if used in moderation and not continually. Notwithstanding the above it will also be deemed to be unacceptable where a rider uses the drawn whip: • when a horse is out of contention • when a horse is showing no response • when a horse has no reasonable prospect of improving or losing its position • after its chance of winning or being placed is clearly gone • when a horse is clearly winning • after passing the winning post • using the whip with the arm above shoulder height. A rider may at their discretion use the whip with a slapping motion down the shoulder, with the whip hand remaining on the reins, at any time. The current whip has been in use since 2009, and is much wider and more padded than the previous standard, but it makes a much louder noise than its predecessor. Current Whip Old Whip

I'd be trying to remain schtung on this subject if I was you.... Redzel's trainer "this neddy definitely needs Blinkers" Grashead..."this horse doesn't need blinkers Latta " This filly improved out of sight with Blinkers" Elliot on Volks Lightening "the BO first time enabled her to relax more than she usually does...definitely helped" Do you enjoy looking stupid?

And the Stipes FAILED big time in assessing accurate track conditions Sherwin making the observation that it was WAYYY worse than D5 right from the get go. Stipes waiting until after the second to change the reading Why on earth are Punters still not receiving these actual pen. Readings that have been taken??

Whoa delicate petals... I merely said it was a good thang to include various course's intricacies... To extrapolate out stuff that has no relevance to this thread is typical of yous fellas modus operandi's... ...have you no lives??

Sammy and Jake must wince when they see the Cheltenham Jocks winning... ...high up in the irons...waving to the legions of fans...enjoying life Here...you get life No fun, jubilation or smiles... just Mr. Plod RIU whipping the Jocks into a bunch of automons -
It helps newbies establish front/back runner course bias... such as some in the Boys wear Plaid... ...wouldn't have a clue the 2000M start at HQ is leafal for wide draws... Either go forward and use gas... or drop back and run for luck of course in Punting friendly jurisdictions that would be graciously notified... Thanks Vic/NSW...but screw Kiwi Punters
-
As everyone knows...apart from some juvenile delinquents on here..."prove they go faster" nonsense... Blinkers is THE number one gear go fast..and when it works..it really works Some outstanding examples in the last few weeks with G1 winners Sentimental Miss and Crown Prosecutor having applications But it requires help from the admin suits to get it right... Last weeks winner Thunder Bay wasn't notified..."oops admin error" Thankfully the FEDS tweeted the info out...for the extra 20% to be added...or whatever tickles your fancy... But yesterday Latta was as enthused as could be "oh yes they definitely allowed her to settle handier...worked a treat" yep
-
So the horse in question finally wins...with Blinkers back on... At least the Feds don't need to be Magoo to see Blinkers... ...and still...the Feds refuse to comment on the "unusual" betting activity on this neddy... ...in a mid weak Maiden...after the jiggery pokerry of Pauly....fiddling in his pocket

Exactly.... ...and the less genuine types get bred out.... Some wonder why the young generation DESPISE racing... forget the 'padded' whip concept... ...the reailty is the visual impact of horses being whipped for the entire last 100M...

Racing Victoria...THE most transparent PUNTER friendly jurisdiction in the Worrrrld...well HK's not bad either...those two Yarra Valley Yarra Valley is rated a Good 4 with a penetrometer of 5.58. There has been 12mm of irrigation applied for the week, 3mm of that in the last 24 hours. The rail is in the true position, as it was at the recent meeting on February 23. Yarra Valley is a 1684m long track with a short, 232m long straight. The 1500m and 1950m stating points have short runs into the first bend and barriers/tactical speed can be important. The 1200m starting point is the most generous with a long run out of the chute and down the back straight before they navigate the home bend. Benalla Benalla is rated a Good 4 with a penetrometer of 5.33. There has been 33mm of irrigation applied for the week, 3mm of that in the last 24 hours. The rail is true with the exception of the section from the 1600m mark to the 400m mark where it is out 3m. Benalla has a sweeping home bend that generally allows horses from rearward positions to work into the race moreso than at other tracks. The straight is a generous 380m long. There is four starting positions down the back straight. The 1100m start has a relatively short run into the home bend and position in running can be crucial. The 1200m, and 1400m starts both have good runs into that home bend while the 1600m start is out of a chute down the bottom of the track and it has a lovely, long run into the one bend.

Sammy Collett wins first Group 1!!! Then gets f'd over by the Feds
Thomass replied to Thomass's topic in Galloping Chat
Sammy makes it to 7th ranked Woman in the World...no thanks to the Feds That 4 Hundy could have contributed to her Baby room...f the Feds Quality female riders who are showing how it’s done Various sources | MARCH 14, 2019 SHARE Sam Collett’s name appears in the world rankings for the first time thanks to her victory in the Auckland Cup, a particularly notable race as far as her family is concerned. Photo: Trish Dunell Even without the exploits of the trail-blazing Rachael Blackmore over jumps, it’s been a significant few days for the cause of female jockeys internationally. The 29-year-old Blackmore has been mixing it with the best riders for a couple of seasons now. She sits second in the Irish championship, and on Tuesday rode her first Cheltenham Festival winner. But we are concerned here with women jockeys on the flat, and it should come as no surprise to TRC regulars that the momentum of last week came from down under. Of the ten G1s run around the world over the seven days, two were won by women, both Jamie Kah in Australia and Samantha Collett in New Zealand achieving their long-awaited, and long-merited, first successes at the highest level. Kah, 23, surged into the TRC Global Rankings top 200 for the first time with Harlem’s victory in the prestigious A$1.5 million TAB Australian Cup at Flemington. Watch the video below, and you’ll understand that this is a rider of rhythm and balance, style and power, one well capable of matching the best around in one of the world’s most competitive jockey arenas. Perhaps you notice similarities with Steve Cauthen. She certainly reminds her former boss, South Australian trainer John Macmillan, of the great American. “When I was in England, the most stylish rider I thought I’d ever seen was Steve Cauthen, and Jamie rides exactly like him,” ex-jockey Macmillan told racing.com. Kah (photo: Sharon Lee Chapman) gains six points for driving 30/1 shot Harlem home, and rises 60 places to #196, making her the third highest-ranked female in the world. Which means the big decision she made in January, relocating from Adelaide (where she has won the premiership three times) to the more competitive, and potentially more rewarding, racing environment of Melbourne, looks like it’s going to pay off. “Given the appropriate support she can go on with it,” Macmillan said. Kah, whose parents were both Australian Olympic speed skaters in the 90s, thought long and hard about leaving Adelaide. “I didn’t want to move because Adelaide was home, but I thought, ‘I’m going to have to give it a crack’,” she said. “Even the first week after I moved I thought, ‘What am I doing here?’ I could see it was tough, and I was trying to work hard, going to trackwork every day and I was exhausted. But I just felt it was now or never.” Sam Collett’s first Group 1 - aboard Glory Days in the Auckland Cup at Ellerslie (see video below) - was far more straightforward than Kah’s. The victory means that Collett, the reigning New Zealand champion, has finally arrived in the TRC Global Rankings, coming in at #314, making her the seventh highest-ranked female in the world. Collett was overwhelmed by all the congratulations for her achievement, but she hasn’t lost focus on her next couple of goals for the season. She is just seven wins short of reaching 700 career wins in New Zealand, and she is also in pursuit of breaking the century of wins for the season, which she did for the first time when taking last season’s premiership with 132. “I’m well on the way to 100 again [with 72 wins],’’ she said. ‘’Another goal for later on is to get to 1,000 wins. That would be really special. I could relax then.’’ Like Kah, Collett has parents who have been high-achievers in sport, only in her case that sport is racing. Indeed, Jim Collett and Trudy Thornton created history 28 years ago when becoming the first husband and wife jockeys to finish 1-2 in a major race - and that was the same Auckland Cup that provided their daughter with her first G1 last Saturday. Collett was only a year old when that racing history was made, and over the years both her parents have become multiple G1 winners. She had yearned for the day she, too, could experience her own G1 thrill, and that desire surfaced again last Saturday when rival Opie Bosson set a New Zealand record for the most G1 wins with a double on Yourdeel and Melody Belle. “When Opie broke the record, I wondered what it would feel like to win just one of them, then I came out in the next race and did it. It’s the greatest feeling ever,’’ she said. Trudy Thornton, meanwhile, is still riding successfully at the age of 55. She has tasted G1 success in 2019 herself, and is currently world-ranked 242 - still 72 places ahead of her daughter. WORLD’S HIGHEST RANKED FEMALE RIDERS -
