Seriously, wtf are you on about?? Punters get it anyway they want...ground announcement, Television and tweets! If they can't hear about it after that...it's their fault!

According to Hoyle...Peters loves the Baubles... ...and slinging off at the Opposition leader "I'm talking about China...What's Choyna"

ENABLE as a foal...just as well she came up in the withers!

It's a game of %'s Chief Wallah Reduce your % of possible loss on investing on a neddy that draws in close and an on pace runner...when the rail's off This is basic 101 shit ffs

No probs...an overreaction by the BHA by the looks How good is their marketing? Imagine NZTR doing something like this? yea na https://mobile.twitter.com/AtTheRaces/status/1095303765878599681

Racing Vic. and NSW do...who cares about the rest? Waller can't believe NZ doesn't supply this type of BASIC info.... He realises the vast range of information the likes of HK supplies directly corresponds with Punters investments And you stupidly highlight the cost of a basic tweet...twit

Many tracks colour code their pen readings... Are you saying that's pointless?

Is that a question or statement? One part of the straight six is favoured by Jocks...what do your stats state?

Your statements are simply bizarre bazz....too many Whakachungas methinks... Htf is wanting the pen reading, that's already been taken on the rail, "pointless shit to deliberately miss inform" ffs? Many Punters want to know if the rail is 'off' from the first race...not wait until half your early bets are on on pace runners... The stats say the inside 4 M favour on pace runners at TR Courses like Flemington colour code the differing pen readings.... Punters can do what they like with that...and do Maybe you need a holiday..btw who is Miss Inform...I'd love to meet her??

And what a beautiful face it was https://mobile.twitter.com/Racing/status/1095231029948882944 2:12 11.6K views

F me...knock knock knockerbockers?? Anybody home?? If Lisa Allpress is out there inspecting the track with her stick.... ...looking for the best ground...I want to know too ffs If Flemington let's Punters know the going ACROSS THE WIDTH...then we should as well NZTR have just invested in a moisture stick...and Going Stick ...which not only measures the penetration but the SHEAR strength of the rootzone ...mimicking the propulsion of a horse at the gallop Punters deserve that information as well... FINALLY the Track Managers have far more accuracy at their finger tips...about time

Seriously if I say BOO...you'd say HOO I really can't see the problem in providing factual evidence of where the best ground is...after inconsistent watering from the day before... which caused the rail to be 'OFF' Its bizarre you can't understand how some horses can become easily trapped on the rails.... ...not all Jocks are 'Billy's' and able to push out with flailing elbows Absolutely no rail on a G3 should be 'off' from the word go....If it is it's a PUNTERS RIGHT TO KNOW... Recognise

I'm not sure wtf you can't see bee... Punters can do what they like with any info accurately provided.... A simple process...the rails off....stay clear of close draws and leaders I would have thought Punters contemplating back markers would have got greater confidence BEFORE the first... ...and any multi betting on the morning Whats the problem with Track Managers providing the readings they've taken ffs?

Actually I gave the media a serve for "putting him on a pedestal"...his words Billy this billy that...the next best kid to My Cool Walker...who himself imploded with the hype of Tony Lee and his cohorts... Seen it all before... Weatherely was the standard...humble, no behavioural issues...straight to Sydney Some come from rough family backgrounds in this game though An Apprentice school along the lines of the Sth African one is needed here....ideal for some boys

As Billy says " put me on a pedestal" Thanks media... YOUNG GUN APPRENTICE QUITS RACING February 12, 2019 Promising apprentice jockey Wiremu Pinn has decided to quit riding Trish Dunell Highly talented Taranaki apprentice Wiremu Pinn has walked away from a potentially exciting career in the saddle. The 20-year-old, who successfully competed at the Barfoot & Thompson Jockeys’ World Cup meeting at Ellerslie last December as part of the winning Young Guns squad, has decided to end his apprenticeship. He was found guilty of serious careless riding aboard Misha’s Star at New Plymouth earlier this month and incurred a 16-day suspension, ruling him out until after racing on Thursday, February 28. But Pinn said he won’t be back riding and he doesn’t blame the suspension as the main reason for his decision to turn his back on racing. “I just got sick of it and was not enjoying it. I was doing stupid things and making bad decisions,’’ he said. “I was getting frustrated real quick and I know I need to mature a bit more.” Pinn left his employer, New Plymouth trainer Allan Sharrock, after the local meeting and has taken a job working on a dairy farm near Rotorua. Pinn’s decision has left Sharrock stunned and disappointed. ‘’He just left without saying a word and it took eight days for him to contact me, but at least he’s done that now,’’ Sharrock said. “He has walked away from his employment and I am bitterly disappointed, not only for me but also everyone who has tried to help him. But it’s his decision.” Sharrock had developed Pinn into a most promising apprentice giving the young rider a winning double on his first day riding at New Plymouth in May last year, including a successful debut mount on London Express. Pinn went on to win again on his second day’s riding then picked up a treble at Trentham the following weekend and rode 11 winners by the end of last season. He has ridden a total of 32 winners and is fourth equal leading apprentice in the country. His form resulted in his invitation to compete at the Barfoot & Thompson Jockeys’ World Cup meeting and he measured up when successful on Sacred Day. But all the success and the pressure which goes with it has been too much for Pinn. ‘’When I got all those winners early on I was put on a pedestal and I just didn’t handle the pressure,’’ Pinn said. ‘’I’d never felt that pressure before. Coming straight from South Auckland I’ve only had the two jobs and jumped straight into such a professional game.’’ Pinn began his apprenticeship with Matamata’s Te Akau Racing Stables and showed immediate talent, but behavioural issues ended that stint. With the support of National Riding Mentor, former champion jockey Noel Harris, he was given a second chance when sent to Sharrock. Pinn appreciates the help Harris and others have given him and Harris acknowledges the pressure put on young apprentices. ‘’It’s not for the faint-hearted, more so with all the social media today,’’ Harris said. “With all the expectations it can put 10 years on you. But the pressure is part and parcel with riding. Some handle it and some don’t. If they can handle it and do well, they can earn good money and make a good living. “I always suggest they take a break and reassess everything before making the decision to quit. But at the end of the day it’s Wiremu’s decision.’’ History shows some apprentices have quit and made successful comebacks, but for now Pinn, although a natural lightweight and seemingly gifted young rider, is adamant being an apprentice jockey is not for him. ‘’I want to try something new,’’ he said. - Save Share

It's all VERY simple Inside 4 metres is almost always a front runners track at TR...it drains more easily there...the Track Manager told us that on Trackside If we'd have known the Pen readings on Saturday....we'd more than likely know the rail was off...which proved to be the case after watering the day before Most unusual KEEP OFF THE RAIL...You draw handy...more than likely in trouble Any winners stay to the rails?? YEA NA Punters had the right to know...to do what they wanted with it And watch for the reading given out to Whanganui Punters this winter...4.5M the widest reading ...when they're coming down the outside rail wtf is the use to Punters with that info? ffs

What a fantastic riding career he had...to become a trainer...no problem Champagne and respect as Hong Kong legend Douglas Whyte retires By David Morgan, at Sha Tin for the HKJC. 10/02/2019 Douglas Whyte waved farewell to the most successful race-riding career in Hong Kong history this evening (Sunday, 10 February) at Sha Tin Racecourse, bowing out after saluting his fans long after the last race had weighed-in. The 13-time champion jockey’s final ride did not produce the fairy tale victory that he and the Sha Tin faithful desired, but the day delivered heart-warming displays of respect and appreciation for a sportsman whose achievements have lifted him high into the pantheon of racing’s legends. Whyte retires with a Hong Kong career total of 1,813 wins – 894 more than current champion Zac Purton – total stakes money of HK$1,587,210,086.67, multiple Group 1 scores and, of course, his defining 13 consecutive premierships (2001-2013). His win strike rate over more than 22 years riding at Happy Valley and Sha Tin stands forever at 14.78%. The man they call the Durban Demon was “overwhelmed” in particular at the send-off he received from his jockeys’ room colleagues, for so long his unwavering rivals. Whyte’s blank on his final day was not for the want of trying but did owe something to a stroke of misfortune. Two seconds were his closest placings – Mr Croissant in race two and Seven Heavens in the eighth – but the near-miss came when he rallied the impeded Storm Signal close home in the seventh contest, only to take third. “I would have won the race,” he said. “That’s the only bittersweet ending to the day. I’d have loved to have had a winner but I’m happy with the way every horse ran and the way I rode every horse. “I’m leaving on a high but I would have won on Storm Signal. I was just gaining momentum, I was coming to win the race and when you get knocked sideways like that – then the horse on my inside turned my hindquarters and he lost momentum and still picked up. Whyte’s bubbly send-off Douglas Whyte is lifted into the air by his fellow jockeys. Earlier, Whyte received a silver dish and a commissioned painting from the Jockey Club. That came after race four, before a parade ring full of his weighing room colleagues, trainers, media, and family, with a few thousand appreciative spectators looking on. “I had my family here – it’s my daughter’s 19th birthday so it’s one of those days where being overwhelmed and enjoyment takes over disappointment. I’m happy and I’m looking forward to the next chapter.” A group photo with his fellow riders followed – and then the ambush. Vincent Ho and Silvestre de Sousa moved quickly, grabbing Whyte and lifting him into the air as other jockeys moved in, throwing the champ skywards and catching him three times. “All the guys in the jockeys’ room wanted to do something that was going to be special, something he’d remember the rest of his life,” Umberto Rispoli said. “We discussed with Joao (Moreira) that we’d lift Douglas up and so the signal was that I’d whistle and we’d bring him up. “It’s his last day and I remember before I came here, everybody, whenever you talked about Hong Kong racing, the first thing that would always come up would be Douglas Whyte. He’s a legend here.” Umberto Rispoli sprays Whyte with champagne. Zac Purton playfully shines Whyte’s boot. After the lifting, Rispoli launched the first wave of champagne spray, Ho followed with a second bottle and then Karis Teetan directed a drenching gush of bubbles from the flank; Joao Moreira and de Sousa moved in to pour the bottles’ remnants over the retiring hero whom the Jockey Club has licensed as a trainer for the 2019/20 season. Whyte took it all in good spirits. “It’s been a long journey and now my new journey begins. I’m a bit emotional now it’s all over.” Purton had set the tone for the celebrations before Whyte stepped out from the Parade Ring wings. The arch rival went down on one knee and “shoe-shined” the legend’s boots, to the huge delight of watching fans. And Whyte, who said he is looking forward to perhaps even eating some breakfast in the morning, admitted: “I will tell you that I will enjoy not having to sweat and having to get prepared like I do for race day. It’s mentally draining!” Derby-bound Enrichment Enrichment is on track for the Derby. Enrichment (122lb), meanwhile, all but booked his BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) berth with a solid victory in the Class 2 Daffodil Handicap (2000m). The John Size-trained gelding had shown up well in three starts over a mile this term and relished this afternoon’s longer trip. Jockey Joao Moreira rated the Australian import at the head of the main pack, biding his time as Packing Warrior (123lb) cut out the running from Charity Go (123lb). Charity Go took the lead from the fading front-runner with 350m to race but Enrichment galloped past both of those fellow Derby wannabes to win by a length and a half in 2m 01.27s. The five-year-old Savvy Six (123lb) stayed on to mug Charity Go for second. “Enrichment does have the quality and he should get in the Derby, he deserves that,” Moreira said. “He’s the kind of horse that likes a good, strong tempo, he’s a proper stayer. Another Derby hope, Tigre Du Terre, was scratched from the race when he reached the start. Trainer Jimmy Ting took the opener when apprentice Dylan Mo made all on Richcity Fortune, and another local rider, Keith Yeung, drove the Benno Yung-trained Chiu Chow Kid to victory in race five. Mo nailed a brace when the Peter Ho-trained I Am Power was a cosy winner of the 1000m Class 3, from the Whyte-ridden Seven Heavens. The early part of the card brought a good debut for the Dennis Yip-trained four-year-old Prince Of Gems, who took the Class 4 Cineraria Handicap (1200m) by a length and a quarter under Zac Purton. Race four saw the three-year-old Coby Oppa live up to his American dirt pedigree to win the Class 4 Daisy Handicap (1200m) under Karis Teetan. Frankie Lor’s charge was having his second outing and his first on the all-weather track. WATCH: Whyte finished fourth in his final race Trainer Tony Millard was at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale in Australia but that didn’t stop his Hong Kong International Sale Graduate (ISG) Super Star improving his record to two wins from four starts in the Class 4 Orchid Handicap (1400m). Silvestre de Sousa was in the plate for that success and the in-form Brazilian wrapped up a treble for himself and Lor when another ISG, the six-year-old Noble De Love, won the Class 3 Peony Handicap (1200m) on the dirt, followed by Right Choice in the finale, the Class 3 Rose Handicap (1400m). That last race saw Whyte deliver the John Moore-trained debutant Uncle Steve on a well-judged run to place fourth, despite breaking from Gate 14. It may have been a defeat but the ride reminded the Sha Tin faithful exactly what they will be missing now that one of the sport’s finest tactical minds has hung up his saddle. Hong Kong racing continues at Happy Valley on Wednesday, 13 February when a nine-race card, featuring the Hong Kong Airlines Million Challenge finale, will begin at 6.45pm. Whyte salutes the crowd and thanks them for their support after riding his last race. The Derby-bound Enrichment (front) opens his Hong Kong account under Joao Moreira.

Ya think? Do handicaps have a cut off point of 18 months then nothing for 17 months 31days?

Many thanks for your query...Its my mission to help people with zero idea Usually a front runners course...4M and in... At 5 and out it becomes a back runners course... Riders including RIDDELL said the "rail was off" With the overwatering on Friday the rail could have received more that the 2M width outwards... This could easily have been shown by screen shotting the TM's sheet...1M 3M and 4.5M intervals No cost, sfa time...leave it up to the PUNTERS to decide what to do with those Its their right...Ok? BTW you continually appear to be on a Whakachungas sugar high latest research 500Mg's Vit c 2 x day for type 2...I'm here to help best champ

Alysha got to interviewing Mick Rodd at Te Rapa " first of all Gong hei fat choi Alysha" Thats about the sum total of how the Racing Industry handled Chinese New Year Dunno what SFA is in Chinese... The marketing department of NZ Racing Inc. needs a f in rocket Not far away to 3 WHOLE MONTHS OF ZERO WEEKEND RACING in Auckland either A Chinese hot bed of Thoroughbred PUNTING investment...squandered away onya Ellerslie...onya Racing Industry

Even you know this is an accepted anomaly....requested by trainers who were wanting opportunities for maiden winners in Black Type events Only you could compare the two The UNACCEPTABLE anomaly is CONCENSUS losing by a neck...receiving no penalty.. ...and the winner 3 kgs... That consigns SW&F All P's to the Junk Bond 'Black Type' category...

Make that Matt HOOTEN... so extreme right that Gingavitas Carn...can't Poor Slimon Bwidges latest poll result...and his Born to Rule Knats FAIL polling only cements their position in the losing 'Opposition' benches for another 3 losing years... But cements Cindy and Hero Winn in this Grande Coalition for 3 MORE YEARS enjoy gee gee

Most Punters want this info Australia and Singapore asked their most IMPORTANT customers And they received feedback... to INCLUDE this info We didn't Oatham "were different...it wouldn't work here" It did and it does John...and from someone who doesn't punt ffs No f in idea

Very unusual to be watering the track on the morning before... The olde world type sprinkler system scattering water willy hilly was apparent on the Trackside live show... The rail was 'off'...no wonder Punters have the right then to know the EXACT Pen readings taken Which would have undoubtedly shown the rail to be OFF How hard is it to provide this info ffs? Very f in easy in fact Just table the Track Managers readings...screen shot's fine and leave it up to punters to decide what they want to do with that info... dickheads
