Drafting or lengths per kilo? Provided both... Were the NH Handicappers pissing in the wind when they took 1/2kg off 3yo's WFA allowance last year...to make older Horses more competitive? That'd make sfa difference in your World...0.001L?

It was nothing about the punt... You said Pike was wrong saying the rail was off...Inness got it off the rail and won Then you couldn't even understand Wheels when he said he'd had sprinters who couldn't get a mile...but could win over a Hurdle distance Basic racing terminology that you were clueless about ..and then telling us REDZEL would operate the same without Blinkers Nothing to do with punting... Clueless arrogant fool Walter Mitty you is...

It's obviously hard taking off a winning Jock... But it's simply a fact that some horses over race for some jockeys... She may not be used to a long rein.... ...and she may have settled if the Oirishman had have sung to her... Bogan rock...being from Sth Auckland...

My understanding is they try to gallop a couple of horses on the morning and get the opinion of riders as well Especially at a major meeting... If that was the case...and Oatham told a few that were watching at 11 am That it was "on the cusp of 9" Surely Punters should know that from 7.30 ...when the Stewards set the reading?

No, what's tiring is that every study...legendary Trainers opinion, my learned opinion ...is all wrong... Theres a word for that...it's a sickness called narcissistic PD He should actually be banned by the Thoroughbred Industry for spreading b/s and misinformation Gerbals wasn't as bad...

Substantial studies by University Dons you fool... But it just adds to an entire list of yours... You know more than any Trainer...Pikey, Wheeler, Weiry, Haysy... All wrong according to you "Redzel would go just as well without Blinkers" " prove Blinkers make them go faster" Its a long sorry list of pitiful opinions based solely on your self opinionated sense of ...you know it all...while sitting in your soiled daks and dirty singlet

A gem no doubt... I was raised on Stop Making Sense.......and unsurprisingly people's constantly tell me that...

This is beyond you Bazz... I use actual 'facts' like the drafting and weight studies to compensate... ...which adds to a superior performance quotient... ...You and the class clown couldn't recognise a no cover unlucky run if it hit you midships...

Two University Studies by Dons baz.... The only flowchart you'd understand is whakachanga---drink--flow--repeat

Who said anything about consecutive results with matching horses apart from you?? Your matches could have been slowing down after an easy win...but you're too blind to see... ...and now you tell us those matching horses have the greater weighted horse being even more superior ...as if increased weight makes it even faster... f me....go back to dunce class

Yea you forgot to add one actually needs to tip a winner to get 14% of sfa of nothing... Wait until your fellow Dons hear that you've dissed their good work.... A treadmill is the only way to dismiss variables.... How stupid are you and the class clown to question that study by telling us " they don't have treadmill races" f me...

I'd sooner fly Aeroflot with a bunch of hairy legged Air Hostess's from a Gulag than read that phantasy.. You're clueless when it comes to translating even basic stuff like 'wide without cover' ...treating that run the same as a perfect trail.... ...utter imbecile... And then you say..."3L either way..don't matter to me" ...nearly as silly as bogan Bazz' ..."ignore last 3 starts...get better price" No wonder NZ's productivity is one of the lowest in the OECD with morons like you amongst us...

Oatham said " the pen. Reading showed it was on the cusp of 9 but we've called it a 10...with a possible upgrade"...that's what they did Punters betting at 7.30 are entitled to know that information...surely??

Cheers Hedley...the RIU report says it started off as an H 10 then retrospectively changed to S 9 after R 1 It may well have been what you say...but my beef is the RIU failing to tell Punters that the Track Penetrometer was on the cusp of H 10-S9 It was always listed before the race as H10 Only those watching Trackside at 11am were told the actual reading Punters deserve to be told what the Pen. Reading actually was..on the CUSP...at 7.30!

Oustanding training effort once again last night... Apparently kept working the horse..then again...then gave it another round the day before...fit az! Blighted by the shocking breakdown of a horse up the straight though... ...and poor Mork is going all Grey Beard on us! The joys of stress and all of that humidity!

Gee Bazz... Started a 10.... Oatham gets on and tells us it's on the cuthp of S 9 Seriously...where do these boys at NZTR and RIU get off by hiding the Pen. Reading on the morning of the race? Has nobody heard that information = punting confidence? Just keep giving Punters crap like that John...but you don't care because you don't PUNT ffs

It's a conversation that'll be increasingly held....especially after the Melbourne Cup ...where so many riders flouted the whip rule... Its a bad look all round...and the young generation hates it...and they're the future When Mike de Koch says yes...it's a serious idea for Sth Africa While we're at it...what happened to the Tauranga Club's submission to NZTR "all whip violations should be subject to protest" yep Jack Milner: In an innovative move, Phumelela will be staging a race at Turffontein on Saturday in which jockeys will not be permitted to use whips. OCTOBER 28, 2018 The move to ban the use of whips in the sport is growing momentum in the UK and it has found a lot of support in South Africa. Horseracing is seen by many outsiders as a sport that encourages cruelty to animals. Modern whips are made from cushion and they do not hurt the horse if used correctly but it does make lot of noise as it makes contact. However, outsiders watching a race just see that horses get a solid beating from a jockey and that immediately gives the sport a bad image. The question one needs to ask is to what extent the whip encourages a horse to run faster? Interestingly, anybody who watched Race 7 at Turffontein on Saturday 20 October would seriously have reservations about whether it does. Warrior’s Rest and D’Arivee were fighting out that finish and as champion jockey Lyle Hewitson pulled his whip some 150m from the finishing post, it flew out of his hand, over his head and dropped on the turf. Demonstrating why he is the country’s champion, Hewitson showed no panic but jut rode his mount with his hands. It looked as if D’Arivee would pass him but Hewitson got Warrior’s Rest perfectly balanced and came back to win the race by a long head. In the UK, an organisation called Championship Horse Racing has been set up which is looking to repackage horseracing using Formula 1 racing as a model. They point out horseracing is the second largest spectator sport in Great Britain and, with a history dating back centuries, one of the longest established. It generates over £3.7 billion (R69.33 billion) for the British economy and major horseracing events such as Royal Ascot and Cheltenham Festival are important dates in the British and International sporting calendar. However, sponsorship participation is not at the same level as in other sports. Their aim is to distance the sport from the public perception that it’s a complicated, elitist recreation inextricably linked to gambling and provide a simple, accessible format that’s gripping, thrilling and unmissable. They want to present horseracing to an entirely new global audience and re-affirm its status as the high profile, much-loved sport it has always been. The use of the whip is one perception that needs to be dealt with. Saturday sees the running of the R1-million Peermont Emperors Charity Mile and Clyde Basel, on-course sales and marketing executive for Phumelela, views the meeting as an ideal opportunity to introduce whip-free racing to the public. “Being Charity Mile we want to show that we are willing to take a positive step forward for those who support a welfare approach to the role of animals in our lives,” he said. “As a responsible operator/regulator there is a view that the current rules and penalties around the use of the whip are simply not good enough and can be both improved and made clearer. “Obviously much research still needs to be done but this is a perfect trial for Charity Mile day with the newbies (celebrities and the like) all watching, and in particular all the horse-related charities who will welcome this concept with open arms.” Jockey Piere Strydom has been a keen exponent of the innovative move. “While the whips do not inflict pain on the horse, it still does a lot of damage to the image of the sport. “I feel this is a very positive move and I congratulate the operator for coming up with the concept,” said Strydom. Trainer Mike de Kock is another staunch supporter. “The first question we get from newcomers to the sport is ‘why do we whip horses’. It gives the sport a very poor image and I’ve been pushing his idea for months. “There are no negatives. It can only be positive for horseracing.” Views: 424

It's still feasible I think....in moi's circumstance...in case you're interested...while the brain was willing the wrinkles deceived the determinative nature of the beast with the resulting situation...it was labelled "fugly" but 'workable' The unfortunate aspect in EM's case...I was very close to the screen...comparing moi's pot beer belly to Em's possible preg. Belly... ...and I accidentally slipped just as the Princess walked in... ...unfortunately it appeared as if moi was French kissing the screen...passionately...like the French Presidente does to his Mom like Wife... Its sad how some people jump to totally unjustified assumptions based on the misinterpretation of a situation...that's how Wars start

Good try... "I expect" You should email Carpenter and let him put you to the sword... Better...ring him... Tell him you go to quite a lot of Cups and Cox's...and you've helped Dibo put neddys on floats... ...then picked up the Doo dahs... ...he'll think you've got skin in the game for sure

Those who deny Weight v distance made good.. ...are WFA deniers... Its as bad as joining the Flat Earth society...

Oh no...poor Ems... She forgot to do the cross over...before the first... as instructed by the Producer "was I meant to do that cross over??...f#^k" Just remember EMS...lesson 101 in Broadcasting...treat every Mikey as if it's ON AT ALL TIMES Btw...is Ems preggers?? She looks that way...and failed to ride her usual mount on Saturday!

It's an indictment on our education system that a simple graphy thing...with a bit of colour... ...sends grown boys...wearing nappies...into melt down... Just post it on your noggins imbeciles "'wide without cover' is not a celebratory statement to be had" Although with your small brain mass the noggin won't be wide enough

What??...of course it's hard to win if your neddy's over racing... ...it's a very bad trait.... ...and it also signals a horse has probably had enough for the campaign.... I agreed with Weir the run up race was ok after getting caught wide but running on ok..it was worth another role...change the Jockey

Did Gazza get free crumpets?? Theres nothing like butter and honey on a crump to grow the girth... Is that recipe still secreted wharf...because the Quality Bakers version is absolute poo in comparison

MVRC should be totes embarrassed alright... Finishing close to Winx should have been enough to make the field
