Wow corrupt another thread why don't ya... "working to create equity" hasn't worked in the Racing Industry around some parts of the World... Read the results and you'll be relly relly impressed March 1 marked the first anniversary of the female jockeys' weight allowance in France; Scott Burton examines the state of play and highlights the big winners . . . Mickaelle Michel continues to lead the jockeys' standings after the first two months of the season, looking down on Maxime Guyon and Christophe Soumillon. Statistics covering the first year of the 2kg (4.4lb) allowance for female jockeys in France underline that opportunities have knocked in the past 12 months, at least on the Flat. And while France Galop's figures are complete only for the first ten months to December 31, the high-profile success of apprentice Michel – the first woman to top the standings at the Cagnes-sur-Mer winter meeting through January and February – show trainers are taking notice of the new reality. As of March 1 the allowance has come down for all women by 0.5kg to 1.5kg, leaving a maximum total that can be claimed by a female apprentice at 4kg, instead of 4.5kg. Headline Figures Flat (March-December) 2016 Total 2017 Total Increase Rides 2,207 4,691 +112% Wins 130 380 +192% Places (2nd-5th) 663 1,596 +140% The stated aims of officials when the allowance was announced were to encourage owners and trainers to use women more frequently and to give them not just more but better opportunities outside of the races in the programme reserved for them. That second objective has been addressed with the most important increases in both rides and wins coming at meetings designated as premium – that is those run at the major tracks and carrying PMU betting, rather than smaller provincial venues. The number of winners ridden by female jockeys since March 2017 at premium meetings on the Flat rose from 59 to 279, an increase of 373 per cent. The changes have been less pronounced over jumps, with a 14 per cent rise in the number of rides, though that did produce 48 winners in contrast to 23 in 2016.

And SLB...oh and the guy on Get On "a bit predictable" Cant you imagine her on the International stage of HK or Meydan Wes Now that would get your juices flowing wouldn't it?

They were continually being humiliated by me... It started when a Coupland's was won by a horse having had Winkers applied... In those days only Blinkers were notifiable....I asked them if we were running a secret society here...in comparison to the our Punting competitors And unbelievably they stjill refuse to be transparent...e.g. A positive swab remains unannounced until the JCA has heard the case...usually 6 months wtf?? In Australia its announced as soon as the swab comes back...yea...wtf not? Here our Bloodstock agents get notified...asap...that's it It really is a disgraceful outfit...and they should be continually held to account

Sometimes the olde world fogies need a wee helping hand to realise females are equally competent... Imagine if other Equestrian Sports had little female participation... Jonelle Price strapping for hubby,..because she can't possibly be as good next

Wt....well post away McDuff...what's the big secret? They say they're into 'transparency' fill ya boots boys

And you may have missed it shrew Jase stated on race morning "the inner track took a hit on Boxing Day...so we had a machine go over the INNER PART OF THE TRACK" Why do you think the inner played faster then shrew?

You'd have noted they schedule @ 2 Northern meetings a week in February and hope by March the dryness cures...where they do 3 This was done months ago of course...and if the Georgus Rennae can't predict 10 days in advance.. htf could NZTR do 6 months? Weve usually had at least one Tropical by now too...but nothings cooking by the looks However the ALL over tan is looking fab....and joy oh joy the Princess has no tanning lines anymore...and that should be celebrated

You know Positive Discrimnation works... The States have it, where less fortunate upbringings produce unequal outcomes... ...through no fault of their making Imagine being born a woman in China for example...for a start under the one child policy...look out if the parents find you haven't got a swinging item... ..Its instant abort time That idiot, so called Kiwi, who joined Isis...still claiming he was unfortunate he couldn't afford a woman slave...but he still wants to come home wtf Sometimes certain things that need to change are helped by PD..as in this case

This happens often at this time of the year...especially with little rain at present fear not

That's right...the closing track b/s was always going to be a side show... Even a Messiah can get the odd thing slightly askew And that's why Winn not only ordered submissions on the document...but an INTERIM report from the McKenzie led working group That was delivered Thursday...and leaked to Guerin by his mate the Vella Fella...who wasn't supposed to..slap there Imagine if Winn had taken IMMEDIATE action..as some wanted...and f'ed a few things up?? All hell would have broken loose... Dean Mak the Vella Fella and the ex Crown Prosecutor are great people and won't let Winn down...god bless his smoke filled lungs

Ok good, a few things though Wasnt this the race it had no tongue tie on? Given what you say, that nothing should be exchanged pre race.... ...the email to the Feds should include that query...and also the fact that Betfear had a big than the norm investment on it Someone needs to email those adds...with all of those pertinent points...and await the snswer god speed emailers

Surely...I start most of the threads...I work hard to raise pertinent topics... ...surely I'm allowed to comment on the threads I started?? What recent topics have you opened debate on?

Can't you read? It follows on from the Interim Report I released to him... Hes worry worted for the last 3 months about something that will never happen... His Cousin released the sneak preview live on telly If his club makes a decent presentation they stay If they don't... which is what I told him all those weeks ago

F in marvellous Im arguing with a Coaster who's the only one who doesn't love their Cousins... Just think Reefer...all that angsty time lost on worrying about nothing's... when you could have been whisthpering sthweet nothings in Cousin Mickeys ear... Its a terrible thing unrequited Coasters lurve

I'm picking they're protecting clubs who haven't got up to date watering cans... ...and spray it all over the place...like shu does They can't even give a pen reading for the course..let alone the 30 readings they take.. ...hence Stipe Coles predicting a updated D 5...which turned into a S7...for the whole f in day Pitty even wrote an article in the Informant about how idiotic it was...and supporting young Thomass

I received them in confidence.. If you want, contact the Track Manager Jase...

It's verbatim Reefer....wtf are you smoking? Guerin's your cousin ffs...ring him up instead of coming from an ignorant base Just think...I told you weeks ago this would happen and you grieved like a whale over it's dead calf... wake up son

Unbelievably they're not allowed to give them BEFORE the races...thanks NZTR Transparency is anathema to those f'ers...along with the RIU Lets point it out again Wesly IF Lisa Allpress takes her stick out pre-race... To find out the best ground wtf are Punters denied the 30 pen readings that have been taken?? Given that PUNTERS keep Lisa employed??

As Moy said wesy I gave you two of the niches...I.e. the fittest as per the BP... ...but I hadn't done the form for that race when you arksed...are you deaf? And of course I've written ad in for f in nitey about BLINKERS...either first time or On again PODRAVINA qualified solely on her BT performance at Level weights last start...back in class...8 units...an xtra 2 for BO First time RONCHI qualified solely on BO First time...with its excellent course record and last start 1200M form..first time Blinkers in 41 starts valued that at 11's...started 50's...went under by a lip... Its about niches Wes...and sticking to the algorithms...no emotion...ok?

This is great news in the land of general misogyny...if there ever was one France tried it and it became a raging success...so much so that they had to reduce the allowance within the first few months But it had the desired affect...giving more opportunities to the great sex... Female riders to be given weight allowance in Japan from March Nanako Fujita: the young rider making waves in Japan Masakazu Takahashi 1 of 1 By Masakazu Takahashi4:53PM, NOV 20 2018 Female riders in Japan will from March command a weight allowance of 2kg (4.4lb) on their mounts, following an announcement from the Japanese Racing Authority. Currently, Japan operates an apprentice system not dissimilar to that used in Britain. Jockeys who have held a licence for under five years receive an allowance of 3kg (6.6lb) for those with fewer than 30 wins, 2kg for those with 31 to 50 wins and 1kg (2.2lb) for those with 51 to 100 wins. No rider receives the allowance in Pattern or Listed races, and while female riders will receive the allowance for all of their careers, the same rule will apply and they will be unable to claim their 2kg in such contests. The announcement comes at a time when 21-year-old Nanako Fujita is breaking new ground for female riders in Japan and is currently the only female jockey attached to the more lucrative JRA (three other female jockeys ride on the lesser National Association of Racing circuit). Fujita has ridden a total of 63 winners (45 JRA, 18 NAR) since making her debut in 2016, with 25 coming this year, and is already the winningmost female jockey in JRA history, having broken the previous record of 34 held by Yukiko Masuzawa. The famed Hitomi Miyashita rode 815 winners throughout her career, however 759 came in NAR and the rest in Korea. Thought by many to be a future Grade 1 winner, Fujita is already a popular figure on the JRA circuit, with her calendar and photo book proving big sellers with Japanese racing fans. In France rides being given to women have more than doubled since authorities there pioneered the weight allowance for female riders in 2017. This year Mickaelle Michel, 22, became the first woman to lead the French jockeys' championship and, at the time of writing, remains in the top ten.

And the Stipes noticed before the start... The problem here was it wasn't rocket science The 1200M SIGN is like a neon f in flashing light ffs...in the TRUE position Even Magoo Mardi could have seen it... How could ALL of the starting, stipe and shit shovelers not see that before the start...lining up at the 1230 f me

You'll note the rail was the fastest all day wes... I requested the pen readings taken...which showed the rail had the fastest readings Imagine if Punters had that info at the START? The concept of watering in the wind with olde world sprinklers means the water pisses everywhere...such is the case at HQ Just the other night I was peeing on the Lemon tree..and I got a gush...right over the left knee...from a curry laden Sou Wester...f it

Oh so it nearly won did it?? Not "near last"?? Unfortunately for you...moi hadn't done the entire BP form for that race when you asked... Of course, as stated many times on here before.. A neddy having Blinkers on first time...or re applied...are in the BP...If at VALUE The BP found value on CP at 45's....after being a G3 winner with BO 1st time...unlucky last start when shuffled back from the horror rail draw....ran on well while gawking around... This time focused az... Sweet P..."he lacks concentration...so we thought they would help again" Yep, enabled him to race handy..settled with cover...then outsprinted them up the straight with the purrfect run...concentrating all of the way btw...the other BP of the 'fittest horse' niche For some reason Backing up is frowned upon by so called Punters here Believe me when I say...ITS A MASSIVE POSITIVE for those who can take it... When asked about her filly backing up within a short time over Xmas Pam Gerrard " she was unlucky there...no problems about that...she could race every day she's that tough" yep..the FITTEST in that race...and the TOUGHEST Just get on Wesley...or get off

So as predicted, the screeming meemees of the wee clubs, who were NEVER going to be shut down...after Dean Mak took control... ...will survive...if they make a good case... Guerin let it slip...after pillow talking with the Vella Fella's lot... The Outsourcing remains on target..But at a later date...and as long as NZ retains control...wrt timing etc...and IP So much sleep lost by the likes of Reefer...for no reason at all

Any replys yet Freda...anyone?? As I say, moi's correspondence is now persona non grassy ass...or as they like to put it..non compess mentos But I'm sure they won't mind putting you on the right path towards the 'minty' excuse...even a verbal spray...if you ask nicely?? btw...Tanya was filmed holding a baby in the stands at Wingers...Did Pauly leave her hanging onto the baby or was it hers even? Looking quite clucky she was...
