So Whangers again today...racing on the rail Mmmm...is the rail the place to be today after racing on the fast strip 6M out last week? H10 to 4.5 M....is the 6M strip S9 though....and the outer rail...where they usually race on an H10 ...actually a S8 and faster?? And wide barriers the go?? Wtf would know if they're only giving us readings to the 4.5M mark?? And why would a NZ punter invest their hard earned on a 'lottery' situation with NZTR refusing to be transparent?

How absurd... Youre talking about the aesthetically pleasing noble Thoroughbred industry...including the breeding thereof.... ..with the blink and you miss it pokie like Hounds...raced in a few countries...with NZ's leading trainer baiting live rabbits... Dont worry yourself anymore...Messara has been instructed to sort out the Thoroughbred Industry first and foremost... ...obviously he's not going to worry about the Hounds and Harness as much due to plain fact that Thoroughbreds are a far larger more important industry...doh Idiots like Cleo can't see this though...

It applies to any improvement that has been statistically proven.. If Northern Dance's vet had told you before racing on the magical LASIX ...and no other horse had the drug in its system...that the improvement would translate to even a 10% jump.. ...and you don't alter your ratings..until after the event... ...then how stupid are you??...even though you've "trusted the trainer"

Dizzy was on last week...and toed the party line as usual These 'journos' get an email through from Godber stating what he wants to talk about... Poor Dizzy wouldn't have known about the CHOWDHOORY case though...he's too busy to worry about 'journo' stuff... This week Neil Davis rang up after I tweeted Neil to give Godber a tingle "wtf can't Connections protest Mick...what if it was a G 1 ffs"? " ahhhh ummmm ahhh....haha...well I think they can in Oz...but we sure don't follow Oz in everything....oh yea but we're constantly reviewing these kinds of things" ffs...of course there was no mention of the pathetic suspension of 7 meaningless real days either... Godber..."of course before the 100M is a long way from the finish" What G forgot to mention is that the strikes within the last 100M were above shoulder height...and that's illegal Just like Trudy did in her G 2 win...illegal above shoulder height winning by a nose.. ..and no protest allowed...f me

It doesn't matter where you do it...anythings better than nothing The readings down the entire straight at 3M should show a different reading to the entire 6M strip...5 readings in all... every Hundy Thats what would have happened at Wanganui.... The smart Jocks had obviously walked the track before the races...or been told the readings by the track manager...and knew to get off the fence...which they did... As for Lasix...C said it's 25%...and you know what a girly swot she is... So if the stats showed you the rating quotient on your selection to be winning by a length...and the undeniable overall facts point to a 25% improvement with Lasix...and you trust the trainer knows what he's doing...as you've constantly wanked on about Then wtf's a punter to do? Any sensible punter increases the stake in relation to the expected 25% improvement...that's what who knew?? Not you

They'll be on the patho's channel... Thoroughbreds will be interviewing local connections, human interest stories, review shows...you know...what we used to do... ..that's how you grow a sport...not constant fixes for pathos with a running reel across the bottom of the screen urging you to get on at f in Dipton... As for the 'plark' award Tony Astle of Antoines Restaurant...David Ellis's very good friend...would gladly provide sponsorship for this award... So long as the winners don't complain about the offal on the menu...whereupon he'll throw you out...

Actually Messara's dead right..as said here before Each code should be allowed to stand on their own two feet Thoroughbreds haven't been able to do that.. Messara's report will obviously poo poo the idea of a tri code shambles... ...Imagine League, Aussie Rules and Rugby working together...na unimaginable Thoroughbreds will be able to regain traction then...about time

Considering you agreed the info should be made available... i.e. if the track manager takes 30 readings around the track to 4.5M..and writes them down...just take a screen shot of that...thanks Oh hold it...you may be wrong for accuracy sake if you're wanting that.. If they start racing from 6M and further out from the get go...wtf is the use? Are you saying the Lasix/Blinkers off should be discounted? Are they really trying if they stop Lasix or Blinkers after previously racing to a certain excellent standard?... If the Lasix component increases the chance by 25%, as C says...do you alter your bet and /or increase the neddys performance quotient of its previous starts?? In your world you trust the trainer....don't increase anything...and wait until the horse has bolted...without you on so naive...

And to prove how correct Dillon is when he says he wants the EXACT reading for an all encompassing H11 track This years Trentham meeting was 12L slower than last years...both H11's wtf is the problem with giving Punters an ACCURATE guide... ..rather than having to look at times and work it out yourself ffs...it's just too easy to make fools of these suits who refuse to see the bleedin' obvious

curious Report post Posted May 27 More seriously, with Audible out, I like Hofburg and Gronkowski. "I did leave it to Baffert of course, as I said I would. I note that I also correctly named the two most likely to beat him, including the second horse which was 69/1 at the time. Of course you'd have been on to that because of the trainers first time lasix strike rate of 25% I guess. Is that better than first time blinkers?" Talking about the disgraceful use of Lasix/ furosemide C, when will these drug cheats in the States fall into line with the rest of the racing World do you think?? You had to admire the calmness of many of the runners...while the crowd went wild... ...they just walked around like a Sunday stroll pretty much.. Do you think Lasix had anything to do with that calmness...lowering blood pressure and feeling chilled...for example?? On his near death bed...Northern Dancer's vet finally admitted he'd 'Lasix'd' him before the race...while the rest didn't have his new found drug knowledge to compete... ...imagine if he'd raced without it and lost...the Thoroughbred World would very probably be a different place right now Is it time for NZ to use Lasix to help us compete in the US market perhaps?? Imagine the power of a Lasix/Blinkers combo?

I'm sure being in a good stable he'd have learnt his lesson...Maybe peeling onions ...White line fever can get the best of them though...Trudy being the standout in the G 2... So the RIU need to take this on the chin and get the damn rules changed...in a number of ways 7 real days is not "suspensions must be meaningful" for this shocker.. what a crock... Thats why Godber said last week..." no nothing out of the ordinary this week Dezzy" ffs...he was embarrassed and tried to sweep it under the carpet

Gee I was wrong again Bazza... They were winning 4M plus...off the rails... Who would have thunk with the rail being out so far out as well?? All of that sand down by the rail must have been like quick sand...not quick at all what a dichotomy If only they'd taken readings across the width, jocks would have known before the meeting...to get off the damn slow rail... ...oops, Punters would have known it wasn't a leaders bias on the rail more importantly All that new sand slitting created weird inconsistencies...

Globally, pokies rate higher than anything... ...but that doesn't make it right.... The Thoroughbred horse deserves the very best opportunity to display the sport in the best possible light to encourage widespread growth... ...pre and post race interviews...review shows....social media et el Not off to the next Dipton Dog race ASAP and "just get on patho punter"

Yep... You'd also think "grossly unacceptable...punishing force" would draw more than a 7 real day suspension as well wouldn't you? I would have thought a calendar month rather than the ridiculous 'national days' b/s would have been the minimum... ...and a month spent at the petting Zoo...being kind to animals

Actually I've been far too mellow in the old age.. When Bittar came on board I asked him if he was running a secret society when the previous NZTR had refused to provide info on even the most basic gear... winkers...on a G 2 winner...he felt that was an unfair statement nek Minute gear all over the place reported... Its inconceivable they provide a reading...to 4.5M... ...when they start the meeting running down the 6M and further strip... Nothing kills betting more than a lack of confidence in the 'official' information.. ..which was patently wrong... btw...do you go to bed reciting the 'revenue' song...hasn't your brain got tired of being a wanker by now?

Ahhhh...there's a fear bit of difference to 'dirt' and a heap of sand dropped on...higglety piggelty...and Sea King getting sand kicked in his face...dripping out of his seasoned battle hardened nostrils and eyes....

And sure enough it's made Media headlines https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/104569349/apprentice-kiwi-jockey-kavish-chowdhoory-banned-for-excessive-whip-use

Yea well let's hope you tell Big Red what was said... You'd think he'd be somewhat chastened after NP's meeting...hauled in front of Stipes and told to take cover..then gave up riding and out for 2 weeks suspension... Somerville must have been wrong about the "bashing" or needs a "hard ride" in S's words Dropped the whip when it needed a "bash" Obviously enjoyed the lack of a "bash"

So Shorn Treweak gets the big "valuable track information coming up next" from Tan on Saturday morning... Shorn seemed as confused as a blind dog caught in headlights "oh yea definitely different this meeting from the last...outside...that's where...and probably all over the track actually...yea across the width" ffs...nek minute they're winning on the rail...just like last meeting Just give us the entire width pen. Readings Shorn... ...and let Punters decide... ..after all it's their judgement and their MONEY FFS

Too true...it'd make one turn religious having to wait sooooo long for Justice ...and plain embarrassing for Godber to tell us the case "should be heard by late April" 6 weeks ago...ffs The disconnect between the JCA and RIU is hopeless...

If the princess wore a top like to the boudoir that she'd be on the exchange list quick smart... ...just as well she wears black lace 24/7... Tell me girls...what's It like having to smooch your man with that disgusting fungus hair on the moosh? ...poor Cammos misses have to navigate through that mass of bush...and last night's KFC special meal leftovers

Absolutely forgiving... The trouble is this stable has a history of talking their Apps up big time... That attitude seeps into the psyche and results in "he told me to give it a hiding" Lets hope Big Red's been informed of what Pinn told Trackside... ...at least he admitted to dropping the whip

Outstanding effort... ..but he had a pretty good grounding to be fair... The old mans knowledge would have been imprinted in the wee fella from the cradle...

Settle boys and girls... The first award should go to the long suffering Kiwi punter...who keep stakeholders racing for ribbons... Theyre now being treated as 24/7 Patho Punters too.. ...wall to wall stuff and never a post race Thoroughbred interview to be seen... ..let alone a review show...which the other two dreadful codes are still receiving... WTF is that about?

Now that's what you call a PRODUCTION!! The Yanks show biz nous gave this race what it needed...to present the Sport in the best possible light A Kiwi production would have been off to the next Dipton dog race soon after crossing the line...and a recorded interview 1/2 an hour later... How good is the brand new Triple Crown Trophy though?? And God played a massive part to...there was so much sucking up to God those God fearing peeps will all be going to paradise for sure..
