  1. i could add 'get some help" if you want??
  2. And you're ubiquitous with an opinion on everything over many websites, go back to the once a post every 3 days bore fest
  3. Good point chef yes they can but they NEVER do preferring to keep their integrity intact in case they make an error What's entirely screwed though is the ridiculous fact that H10 is the limit now where H11 was dumped take Cody Cole on Monday, scratched his very good mare with rain falling through the day and couldn't scratch without being fined due to the fact H10 cant be bettered!! It shows what NZTR think about horse welfare, wanting a horse to run in conditions that could fuck her entire season up Cody screwed by $400, thanks for coming down though
  4. Well chef it was deliberate act to point out the irony of failing to spell IGNORANT of course your outstanding website had already alerted moi to the error with a big fat red line under it ffs which moi has
  5. It's called being 'worldly' A cretin could work it out from MAP OF TASMANIA, a common term for a female part of the anatomy, coined by Sir Les on Parky to MAP OF JAPAN, what does Japan look like as you and Bazza from the Tron have desert at the back of the stand after a bowl of fatty chips? Any 'worldly' type can look up the urban dictionary for confirmation, which some women regard as sexual assault imagine the sad f of an owner naming their horse after a denigrating sexual act and NZTR failing to realise MOJ has absolutely zero context when naming a noble thoroughbred??
  6. Actually you're right, most do remarkably well being so young so full marks to those apprentices When senior trainers Ralph Manning and Dummy Meyers tried one said "the handicappers are corrupt" and "i had to lie to the punters to protect the owners price" Both never to be heard from again, albeit to pick up an award And then Big Red Sharrock to Rodley "what chances Al?" "a bloke out the back asked, I said "he's black and he's old" he said "Id rather be black" WTAF!!! What's black got to do with things from a performance basis?? Obviously connecting both "black" & "old" with a negative vibe As a result ENTAIN introduced media training to the unfortunates who don't know how the f to behave
  7. So how can some of these jocks go through jockey life without knowing 'DA RULES'?? Billy pleads ignorance to the (admittedly very stupid NZTR rule) counting to a total of 10 strikes...5 being the limit before 100M but 6 & 7 allowed as long as the total at the end doesnt breach 10...ok? #phew Maybe he missed the email from jocks secretary Andy Lacy, "7 +3 = 10...6 +4 =10...11 and you're totally screwed...8 + before the 100M and you're absolutely f'ed even if you can count to 10...ok?" #2xphew Ok, let's face it..it could be bloody confusing trying to line up the 100M mark when you're in a G1 squeeze with Opee breaking the rules yet again, crossing within your length and another length all the while counting, when you went to school to eat your lunch sans basic maths "Mr Pinn accepted Mr Oatham’s evidence regarding the number of strikes. He told the Adjudicative Committee that he had mistakenly believed that it did not matter how many times he used his whip prior to the 100 metres, provided that he did not use it more than 10 times in total prior to the finishing line. He had not used his whip at all inside the final 100 metres, he said." It's been a shocking few weeks for Pinn, thinking he's been singled out for the numerous careless riding charges then failing to get the email of how to count proper...let alone how to speak proper it's enough to make you want to dye your hair pink
  8. Listen up Mr Ubiquitous, call me anything but NEVER call me naive Naive is not knowing what Map of Japan refers to
  9. Too true Just an update to this, after Pinn was charged yet again last week, this time the December CR charge in Oz WAS included. To summarise, originally Opee and Billy both had 6 CR charges as it turns out with Opee getting screwed by an extra days suspension and Billy receiving a day less. So poor Opee really did get screwed, boo hoo
  10. So forget moi sending a 'please explain' to the RIB how they FAILED to check Te Akau's INSPIRED BY ART retaining BLINKERS ON when punters were told they'd be OFF first up In a far more serious slice of 'one stipe not knowing what the others are doing' incompetence We had Mark Davidson (a very good stipe BTW) failing to include Pinns 2 careless Riding charges in Oz as an aggravating feature over a 12 month period In fact he got a day off for his "very good record' Meanwhile did Opie get screwed by Oatham when he included his one CR charge in Oz to have 6 in a 12 month period to which he got tagged "aggravating" and an extra days suspension So what is it RIB? Did Opie get screwed or was it Billy? Someone sure as hell got screwed by @ 3-4K
  11. Next you'll be wanting children to be smacked again,, or doesn't it hurt, just their pride?
  12. You get the impression from how he talks that ANY slip no matter how minor is a major After the Ist he told Poops he would've gone out in the next race and galloped over the slippage to assess how bad it was Australian tracks have very similar abandonments at this time of the year as well so lets not believe it's solely a NZ problem i dont recall Ellerslie having any slip issues when they had a solid concrete ensconced rail while racing all year around? Also this crazy idea of moving a rail out 3m then back to True and believing we'll get 'fair racing' and there will be no bias needs to stop now
  13. So Waller on the Guerin Report He nom'd The Whip as THE biggest issue (as did his mate Messara) going forward followed by traceability, birth to death The obvious problem here is the his 'boss' Vacuous Vlandys "the whip doesn't hurt" 'move on' narrative Besides the fact Racing Australia has the impossible task of obtaining consensus from disparate Ozzie states like SA's "bash the shit out of them" and Racing Vic's "we're trying to do the best for the industry" Waller needs to practise what he preaches by instructing jockeys like JMackSmack to simply stop bashing horses from his stable, over 23 times up the straight in a recent G1 bashathon However with Gen Z turning up in their 1000's at the Everest, obviously the future generation don't really give a shit about welfare and Waller's pissing into the wind?? Or did they turn up to drink piss and sing about Caroline sans horses?
  14. Alors, Leith Innes has the ear of the jockey room and he named Sabrina as the culprit to Poops on Trackside Wazza was on the witch and fast out onto the track pointing to the slip with Bart Cowan looking on Recently back from an extended holiday he's probably telling Butch "it's not my fault" When you have Wizards, Witches and Butchers in the mix it's never going to end well I'm afraid
  15. They might as well race on that gawd awful black tar sealed carpark! WTF thought it was a good idea 'sighting' an eyesore like that in front of the King Charles stand?
  16. Please take the restrictions off or I'm . . outta hair
  17. Punc. this #megalofuckinmaniac
  18. Why are my posts being restricted?
  19. Good on you. So you're a horseman who thought the strips either looked flash?? Or as Jelly Williams thinks wrt Blinkers - "performance improvement after I assessed my horse's needs" Seriously though it's as basic as ipso facto gets isn't it? 6% less energy expenditure = better performance when the whips are cracking. As long as they haven't travelled 3 wide open 'in transit'!!
  20. oh yes definitely muddled . . Knew I'd seen it somewhere!! The Flair website of course . . maybe a bias . . but the developer was a Vet and you know how straight they are . . @7% more accurate? So on an investment I've Id'd as 10 units . . I'm trusting Jelly Williams training ability if he thinks certain new gear will improve an already in form horse . . as identified by moi . . new bet 11 units! The spring-like action in FLAIR Strips supports the soft tissues over the nasal passages (the narrowest part of the upper airway) to reduce the tissue collapse that occurs in all horses during exercise, making it easier to breathe in oxygen. Reduce Fatigue By reducing resistance to airflow to make breathing easier, horses don’t tire as easily so they can work longer and harder. Conserve Energy Horses wearing FLAIR Strips have been shown to exert 5-6% less energy during intensive exercise. Recover Faster When horses’ nasal passages are supported during the cool-down phase of recovery, they are able to move air more easily to cool down and recover quicker. Reduce Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH) FLAIR Strips reduce resistance to breathing, which puts less stress on the fragile pulmonary blood vessels in the lungs, resulting in fewer ruptured pulmonary blood vessels.
  21. It's an exceedingly stupid question . . BUT you're not a horseman's ass . . are you?
  22. Average on an average horse probably . . So Wodger James, Te Akau, Jelly Williams . . are all wrong when quoted on trackside over the last few months "blinkers made a big difference"
  23. No thats on a treadmill being tortured with a jigger . . "blinkers on . . JIGGER . . .blinkers off . . blinkers on . . poly it!!!"
  24. Arks MELODY BELLE why she went 10% faster with them on
