  1. Silly Billy Pinn was similarly reprimanded for saying so in a more blunt manner a few months back "I was told to give her a hiding"...By Lee Somerville...who got reprimanded as well Its not a real good look to be fear...
  2. Exactly nod.....I mean Fwed Remember the joie de Vivre of the French Jock Barzelona on Pour Moi? Like a snake had shot up his derrière doing the dance of the seven veils... Who didn't enjoy that apart from the snake? They love that type of thing in HK... we need to get over the anal retentive stuff
  3. The rail was off according to the jocks..and played like that... wtf Punters don't receive the Pen readings...already taken by the Track Manager is ridiculous.. The Lisa's of this world walk the track before riding...why can't Punters?
  4. It was a shocking display of Careless riding last week that got him 16 days Should have been improper at the very least... Angled into the horse outside then used his elbow to keep himself there... How they only give him 'Careless is anyone's guess Big Red wasn't happy and probably gave him a stir up post race...
  5. Haha oh dear... Kenny said it's better than the inside 5M!! That must resemble a pig slop! Watering yesterday...Kenny was bullish az about it then..
  6. NZTR sent them to me a few years back...misplaced them but got a general idea... Ok, can you just send me the link so I can view them again then...ffs I definitely know the ridiculous inequities as pointed out... ..and you're ok with that?
  7. Have you got the 7 handy for a cutnpaste? So no inequity? A neddy beaten a nose gets nothing...yet the winner 3kgs? And the 18 months gap...nothing...17 months 30 days 3 kgs?? Could you address that too...thanks While you're there...a Black Type 3yo race at HQ has the astonishing race conditions of each win receiving 1 kgs...So a G1 nose placing receives nothing...but a mid weak race at Te Amuta 1Kg? How is that even allowed to be Black type?
  8. Ellis purchased it..then got into Bren's ear afterwards.... Then Jo fell in love with her...and the love of a women for a filly can't be denied Although if you'd been watching Karaka...Jo was desperate to win the bid on a filly...while Mork Chittick was alongside... ...but Bren snapped NO!! Which made Mork walk away to avoid a marital stoush.... Bren then gave Jo a hug...making sure Jo's hands were wrapped in the embrace...true story Hope that helps
  9. Oh gee soz...but you keep going on about how mustadly you are...and the ones I have on the farm,..are very rodent like in behaviour I get called thomarse many times...are you sure you ain't called moi that Mr. mustuddly? But I'm sure a ferret then...could understand the need to match the competition for the punting $? The overall punter's package that racing in Arse supplies?
  10. Terrible state of affairs... The European Pattern Committee even mentioned "regulation regarding out of competition testing" ahem...just how much is done here peeps? Could be some..maybe none! The RIU have zero transparency...HTF would anyone know? Capannelle Racecourse (Image: Carl Di Iorio) Italy loses last Group 1 Carl Di Iorio@CDi_Iorio 7 February, 2019 , ( Italian racing lurched into further crisis on Wednesday when the European Pattern Committee (EPC) stripped the country of its last remaining Group 1 race. The Lydia Tesio (2000m) for three-year-old fillies, held late in the European season in November, was downgraded to Group 2 level. Italy, which hosted as many as nine Group 1 races in 2006, also had their membership status in the EPC downgraded to an 'Associate Member' with immediate effect. "The Committee welcomed the attendance of representatives of the Italian Ministry for Agriculture and their commitment to address the difficulties which had shrouded Italian horse racing and thoroughbred breeding in recent years," said EPC Chairman Brian Kavanagh. The EPC have placed certain requirements on Italian racing, including those relating to the prompt payment of prizemoney, as well as requirements pertaining to the regulation of their sport including out-of-competition testing. The Lydia Tesio is held at Rome's Capannelle racecourse, which is currently the subject of an ongoing dispute between the track's operators (HippoGroup) and Rome's council (Roma Capitale) as the municipal body is seeking a retrospective yearly payment of €2.5 million. Consequently, the racecourse hasn't hosted a race meeting since the start of this year. Approximately 700 horses have continued to train at Capannelle in the interim, making it one of Italy's main facilities. It's been reported that should no agreement be reached between HippoGroup and Roma Capitale by the end of February that Capannelle racecourse, first opened in 1881, will close completely. Luca Cumani, who retired at the end of 2018, trained his final Group 1 winner when God Given won last year's Lydia Tesio. "It's a very sad, but I'm afraid inevitable, situation because Italian racing has been on a slippery slope for a number of years," Cumani told Racing Post. "There doesn't seem any chance of light at the end of the tunnel until the administration of Italian racing is changed and placed in the hands of racing people, as opposed to bureaucrats. "Things have been going the wrong way for a number of years and lurching from one disaster to another." WATCH: God Given win the 2018 Lydia Tesio French racing was the biggest winner from this week's EPC meeting. France Galop successfully pushed for the Prix de Royallieu, a race for three-year-old fillies, to gain Group 1 status, with the race at Longchamp increased from 2500 to 2800 metres. "The Committee was pleased to support France's request to provide an end-of-season opportunity at Group 1 level for fillies at longer distances as part of the Europe-wide initiative to improve the programme for staying horses," Kavanagh said. France Galop officials, however, would be concerned that July three-year-old middle-distance races, the Prix Eugene Adam (2000m) and Prix de Malleret (2400m), are both under threat of losing Group 1 status if their renewals don't rate sufficiently during 2019. While there were no British Stakes races downgraded for 2019 or any Group 1 races under threat during this year, authorities were left 'frustrated' by the British Champions Long Distance Cup (3200m) not receiving Group 1 status. The race, held at Ascot racecourse, is struggling to gain approval as French authorities are concerned about the impact of promotion to two of its existing staying Group 1 races, the €350,000 ($560,000) Prix Royal-Oak (3100m) and €300,000 ($480,000) Prix du Cadran (4000m), held at the same time of the season. The British Champions Long Distance Cup carries almost double the prizemoney of those two French features with a purse of £500,000 ($900,000), and Order Of St George and Stradivarius have won the race in the past two seasons. "The failure to secure Group 1 status for the British Champions Long Distance Cup remains an ongoing frustration, but we will work with France Galop to try to find a way through this in the near future," said Ruth Quinn, the British Horseracing Authority's director of international racing. Ascot's director of racing Nick Smith suggested to Racing Post that an overall review of the European staying program may be required. "Of course we want it to be Group 1 and we'll continue to apply for it, but Champions Day and Ascot have been huge beneficiaries of the Pattern and it would be inappropriate to take a hostile stance over one race, and there are perfectly sound grounds for their decision," Smith said.
  11. Yes, actually it's taken as read that "report anything that may affect its performance" doesn't include minor shit like taking a donkey to the races with said animal It DOES include "we were experimenting" with this horse...in. a G2 prep race for the Derby... The Feds in Australia understand, trainers like Waller know the difference why can't a rodent?

  13. Below is the 2006 RVL Stewards report into Weir's apparent tubing...and McClean's guilty az behaviour... It shows these two should have been closely watched...as in having permanent camera's installed in their stables....they do it on Fishing Boats now... what's the prob in an industry that requires INTEGRITY 100% of the time? 54. Mr Weir, regarding the extraordinary lengths you went to hide the drenching gear from Monaghan and Dunn, the Stewards find it remarkable and disappointing that an experienced trainer such as you would go along with such a ridiculous and half-baked plan. Assuming your evidence about what actually occurred in the stable was accepted, this whole matter could have been avoided if you had not acted in such a foolhardy manner. The Stewards also find it disappointing that when you had the opportunity to explain why you acted in this way on race day, instead of telling the whole truth, you offered a completely improbable explanation: that explanation being that you, an experienced trainer, clearly familiar with Stewards’ procedures and the conduct of stable inspections, decided to hide drenching gear of your own volition, because you didn’t wish to cause Mr McLean any “trouble”. Perhaps this misleading evidence was itself designed also to keep Mr McLean out of trouble, but again we reiterate that you were a contributor to your own troubles on this day. 55. Mr McLean, I have already gone over the concerns the Stewards have about some of the evidence you have given in this inquiry. Unfortunately for you, your involvement in this matter is not over. It seems likely to the Stewards that charges are warranted in respect of some of your evidence. If this is the case it will be a matter for the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board to determine. In any event we will review the relevant evidence and you will be advised within
  14. If you haven't seen this entertaining Arstralian show...you need to get on! T1 today then repeated... It's how to do Racing 'infotainment' 101 Our effort is to get Not so Radley Rodley, TediousTan and pretty boy Matty laughing their tuts off about how boring az Bat Bung they are... Wkakachunga Bazz loves them though...onya bazz Arstralians simply know how to take the piss...we don't...must be something about our Presbytery Elusive Bretheren upbringing...wtf knows? https://mobile.twitter.com/GetOn78/status/1093589192192356352
  15. And do they have SW&F All P's as part of their Black Type show?
  16. And we wonder why NZ Punters bet more on Arstralian racing Its the WHOLE PACKAGE Tracks, integrity, information We can't even provide a pen. Reading... Speed maps on Racing NSW web site...that you can rely on....changed by NOTIFICATION Ask Waller what he thinks about that...he loves helping out punters He knows he'd be racing at the Gymkhana for a doz. Whakachungas without them wake up
  17. Yea na.... Under Cammy George they did one year or two? Cammy realised this Racing mad ethnicity was sitting there...idle...mainly going to the casino...or the hopeless twots He had the Chinese community at HQ celebrating...maybe not so much into the horsey side..but that takes time and cajoling And that includes CONSISTENT racing...no racing in the Queen City for 3 weeks... Is that really growing a sport...especially after the massively successful Karaka night? Are there any clubs in NZ who welcomed their new clients with GONG HEI FAT CHOI? Cant see any...what a wasted opportunity to embrace this Racing mad culture then...
  18. You should write them...they may be blissfully unaware There could be a spate of copycat stuff after this too.. Particularly small time trainers with a daughter or son in tow.. Weiry was too stupid doing what he did with all of those staff pillow talking as well.. It had to get out sooner or later...and as Freedman said..."the worst kept secret"
  19. Somebody told me it was inequatable?? Could you show how straight forward it is please?
  20. Interesting... So one could easily conclude that Blinkers are quite possibly the activator?? Forgetting prices..if they were purely doing it for the punt and not the prize money then Fixed Odds would be the go rather than tote...
  21. Yes the list is always in the MEETING NEWS Steve... https://loveracing.nz/RaceInfo/25462/Meeting-News-Article.aspx Hope that helps...all the best
  22. The question you've got to ask yourself...and your stimulations Is how past performances have been affected by the jiggering... ...and how long will the Pavlov's Dog sustain that performance? Go on tell the masses... Youve already run the Weir neddys through the 'Blinkers Pavlov' haven't you?
  23. Perhaps it was John Allen throwing the Reins at the neck that was the go button? That makes more sense... Jigger to the neck..the horse feels activity around that area as the Jock starts to press the 'jigger activator'...and bingo instant acceleration Cant wait to see the 60 Seconds or a Currrnt Affair show that will offer thousands to Weir who'll start weeping...then become a blubbering mess ...to get public sympathy
  24. Punters know and accept they're not dealing with machine betting...who knew? They don't accept "we were experimenting today" read 'with our f in money'!!
  25. NZ Thoroughbred Punters are inundated with disgraceful hound and thieves tweets as well... ...and then the useless RIU often don't bother tweeting a change in track conditions...as per last week
