  1. Please take the restrictions off or I'm . . outta hair
  2. Punc. this #megalofuckinmaniac
  3. Why are my posts being restricted?
  4. 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'!!
  5. 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.
  6. It's an exceedingly stupid question . . BUT you're not a horseman's ass . . are you?
  7. 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"
  8. No thats on a treadmill being tortured with a jigger . . "blinkers on . . JIGGER . . .blinkers off . . blinkers on . . poly it!!!"
  9. Arks MELODY BELLE why she went 10% faster with them on
  10. Kansas State University College of Veterinary medicine Results showed that the nasal strip did improve the airway, leading to reduced lung damage. "The nasal strip reduces bleeding, reduces the secondary infections that can damage the lung afterward and also may help facilitate the horse to perform better," Poole said. The researchers say the nasal strip may improve performance because it reduces fatigue.
  11. Sorry did I say re signed? That should read RESIGNED. Why after such a short time one may ask? Was he out of his depth?? Transparency issues?? So many ex cops there with so little knowledge of the racing industry.
  12. Here's an idea . . . Wing Dawid up . . arks him . . "Davo . . wtf are you using BO so often when it shits the living daylights out of them . . you abuser"
  13. How does one quantify? Jockey/trainer feedback from knowing the individual . . times . . .dropping the whip and observing the undoubted joy the horse showed when bounding away with gay abandon??
  14. So the adjudicative boffins were OUTRAGED . . . Rarely does a Rider strike their mount so many times in a race. On that basis, the Adjudicative Committee has assessed the 12 strikes as placing Mr Hailey at the high end of culpability. In addition, it is of concern that Mr Hailey breached this Rule at the Auckland Meeting 7 days ago and he does not appear to have learnt any lessons from that breach. Also, his mount, on this occasion, won the race. For these combined factors, there must be an uplift applied to the 5 day suspension starting point. Would Hailey have been so brazen in his cheating if a DQ option was actioned? Ask yourself
  15. Yes, it was tongue firmly in the nasal cavity>>> and that's why you added a laughing emogi😂 confirming such>>> Alor >>> I have seen studies that show @ 10% improvement on average>>> >>> and quelle surprise >>> I add 10% to my investment stake when indulging >>> you?
  16. Onya Kevvy. . . I got on at 10's after HE'S PLATINIUM was surprisingly bet in. . . That's the general thrust of the thread though. . . that Blinkers took over and she was loving galloping for the pure love of it. . . or 'hooning" as Sammy Spratt says
  17. It was concerning their whip rulesfullstopwhich dont allow 'jockeys' to take hands off the reins Take a look at the last Arc and their4 max strikes to see the futurefullstopabsolute class
  18. You were the one who said "it scares the shyte out of a horse"!! Me loves BLINKERS..as you know As an old time stud master said.. "Thomas young ladfullstoptodays babies don't run in mobs muchfullstophence the need for blinkers" What he said
  19. Oh yea...the dots were sort of an infinite clause... Dont strips pull back the highly sensitive nasal cavities and could be considered to "scare the shyte out of" when applied??
  20. It was Blake Shinn on a horse that dead heated...and he was well over the allowance so there couldn't be too much arguing that he had to go.. When Matt Cameron won the G1 on LICKETYSPLIT his attitude in the room was appalling.. When asked about his record he said "it's amazing" What bald faced flippancy when G1 Black Type has it's INTEGRITY obliterated with downright CHEATING #integritynzstyle
  21. Open your kanohi for a change... Obviously your heros at Te Akau dont listen to your nonsense... They throw EVERY bit of gear imaginable on... Blinkers, Visors, TT's...
  22. Ace Lawson-Carroll on BELLA LUCE...goes for the whip at the 300M and promptly drops it... BLINKERS FIRST TIME strategy takes over and it simply bolts to the lead and wins by 3 easing down... A seriously good reason why some horse's love running and winning without being whipped... Take a look at the Amateur races this season ...WITHOUT the whip behind the saddle...and look into the future
  23. So apprentice jockey HAILEY aboard BILLY LINCOLN throws out the rule book and decides winning at all costs will only give him a piddling 7 days off... 12 strikes, if you please, before the 100M when 5's allowed.. The problem NZTR fails to recognise ...is where restrictions are in place... There MUST be repercussions in order to protect the INTEGRITY of a race outcome.. ESPECIALLY Black type races... Matthew Cameron in the G1 Sistema last year...4 consec strikes...a break...then 3 consec. again When ONE's allowed...now that's CHEATING Which Galop France recognised by reducing strikes to 4 overall and DQ's at 9 We need the same ASAP
  24. Thought you said you didn't delete ANYTHING??
