And you're an Australian Harness supporter... Says it all.... ...probably one of THE most Racist countries in the World with an APPALLING record in dealing with Indigenous populations Shorn deserves to be absolutely mocked and humiliated or he'll just find solace with his racist mates telling him how hard done by he was.. Back. Under. Your. Rock

Totally untrue Our society is at a crucial stage of righting the total wrongs of the past wrt racial harmony... Feelin feeling good about himself being superior and white and "Maori lazy" was a DISGRACEFUL RACIAL SLUR The type of BULLSHIT that sets back racial relations for decades And all the Racing Industry did was label it MISCONDUCT I call BULLSHIT on that as well

My partner had a non racing friend visiting her...she heard it too She was gobsmacked Of course I care about the Racing Industry...something I've been involved with for over 50 years... As B says...the Racing Industry is seen by the young generation as totally irrelevant.... ...and no wonder with Gormless imbeciles such as Shorn in it

Heard it live...complained immediately How else would I have given the exact quote? He should actually have been charged with bringing Racing into disrepute... Misconduct is a fucken joke

I was State housed raised in a large family with my Father working long hours in 2 jobs to manage that family...a hard working family...so too we're the local Maori families ...in those days it was a mixed European/Maori population and we all got on famously in the community... However looking back now we were obviously privileged compared to Maori ...their past included having the bejesus knocked out of them if they spoke Te Reo...didn't receive the same Mortgage considerations when applying...an intergenerational wealth deprivation which continues to this day of course... ...among many others...just educate yourself for a change.... ...and unbelievably to this day the smug superiority of GORMLESS DICKHEADS such as Shorn perpetuating the DISGUSTING myth that because he's white... ...he works harder.... Of course it wasn't a "throwaway line"..the punchline had to include 'they're lazy' added on It made Shorn feelin better about himself with his superior white mates telling him this morning how hard done by he was and "good on you for telling the truth" The Racing Industry here is full of this type of Bullshit though...unsophisticated, uneducated GORMLESS MORONS such as Shorn Feelin good about himself Ask George Simon about the barriers he encountered when the 'Maori Boy' had the gall to think he was good enough to participate in anything more than a mucking out job... When Simon grabs Gormless Shorn by his smalls when he next sees him..he'd be doing us all a favour that the Moron's mea culpa includes an intensive 5 day stopover at the local Marae... ...Gormless Shorn will be as white as snow and his nobbly knees will be shaking...but who the fuck cares?

And then all the limp wristers surface... "oh he was probably raised in a RACIST family..his friends were all RACIST...he was dragged up in a bogan white RACIST neighbourhood in the Tron" He didn't get a chance not to be RACIST....

So stupid, gormless, thick as 2 planks Shorn gets on Trackside and says "yea he must have some ***** in him...he doesn't always put in" FFS, where do 'trainers' like this get the idea that being BLATENTLY RACIST on live television is ok? Its the kind of thing you'd hear in a pub 30 years ago....it wasn't right then and it's not right now...Gets slapped with a piddling $800 fine.... Its obviously far worse in the racing industry to cause interference though...lose your license for 5 days...a fine nowadays as well...all up a top Jockey loses @4/5 K Gormless Shorn's is a mere slap for bringing the Racing Industry into total disrepute and accentuating how out of touch some license holders are.... NZTR should send him into a cultural immersion course for a week and/or put him in stocks at the Cambridge track with DICKHEAD RACIST plastered across his stupid noggin

How happy does he look?

After Neasham admitted trainers ROUTINELY give NSAIDS after Tuesady fast work you said Which reinforces the point that I've made about the elite Trainers being proactive in the administration of medication as preventative measures. The other point I made about Vets being contracted to governing bodies such as HK is the fact ZAAKI's Vet OVERPROSCRIBED this Drug returning a positive pre race Youd NEVER get a contracted Vet doing that Witness Oughahan's recent positive here...again an out of touch Vet Youve admitted you love drugs, whips and ANYTHING that forces a Thoroughbred to go as fast as possible under as much pressure as possible... ...and you see nothing wrong with the likes of WINX being administered pissing drugs..where thats all they do for a few hours to dehydrate them...so they can be thrashed in hard work ...for the MONEY...and.... ...TO HELL WITH THEIR WELFARE

Rubbish.... .."should be based on a specific diagnosis" Does NOT mean continually using 'therapeutics' throughout a campaign as can happen now... Theres no "compassion" in that AT ALL NZTR need to take control of the "owner, trainer, Vet relationship" to avoid any non compassion scenarios... Obviously if a horse is experiencing continual problems it should be rested Yet you want the option of continual NASAID's.... ZERO "compassion" there

So NZTR's commitment to 'therapeutics' is just a bunch of words... ...Lip service et el... ...no rules in place...just leave it up to a 'trainer' to decide if a horse in constant pain is best served by living off shit like Bute...and other NSAIDS A desperate need then to have rules in place and NZTR appointed Vets to approve therapeutics without being on a constant drug regime New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s vision for thoroughbred welfare “A thoroughbred should be provided a good life, with the care and conditions that will allow the horse to thrive and perform to its natural abilities.” New Zealand is a signatory to Article 6 of the IFHA International Agreement on Breeding Racing and Wagering, which sets out provisions governing the use of prohibited substances and recuperation: Racehorses are prohibited from racing with any prohibited substance in their bodies All therapies for horses involved in racing or race training, including rest periods, treatments, and pharmaceuticals, should be based upon a specific diagnosis, administered in the context of a valid and transparent owner-trainer-veterinarian relationship, and given in the interests of the horse’s health and welfare Following any therapy given to a racehorse, a sufficient period should elapse prior to racing such that any therapeutic pharmaceuticals are no longer present and are not capable of giving the horse an advantage nor potentially detrimental to its welfare. Prohibited substances New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing bans the use of any substance that influences a horse’s speed, stamina or courage in racing. Drugs must not be allowed to modify the racing performance of the horse, adversely impact on its welfare or conceal genetic or acquired conditions. This includes substances such as alkalinising agents (bicarbonates), hormones, peptides and anabolic steroids that could be administered in ‘out of competition’ training periods to improve a horse’s physique and conditioning. Any confirmed detection of prohibited substances or metabolites of prohibited substances will result in the horse being disqualified from the race and, in most cases, will result in sanctions on the trainer. These sanctions are usually a combination of suspension and fines. Therapeutic drug use Horses are inspected pre- and post-race by Stipendiary Stewards and the race day veterinarian to ensure they are fit to race. Horses must not race under the effect of any pain killer, in an effort to avoid prevent horses racing while injured. After any veterinary treatment, horses must have sufficient time to recuperate before competing.

Everytime I see all that gear and knowing how VERY AVERAGE strandardbreds are to moi's eye...I feel billious I can't help gagging... ...and then you agreed with Chuff that Blinkers arent where it's at... why?

No...in the Druggiest Drug country of the World... ...the 'trainer' simply tells the 'Vet' how it's gunna be ...you only have to look at the disgraceful use of thyroxine... ...where 3 'Vets' wrote out 80% of the scripts to know what goes down NZTR should be going down the root of licensing approved Vets...similar to race day...after the recent positive swabs... ...entirely avoidable positives

Gammy can you stop posting horror home videos of theeves on Wheels.... ...especially on the elite Thoroughbred site... ...it's sickening frankly...

Of course....how's your comprehension skills today wee c?....any day Thats why she said "BEST PRACTICE AROUND THE WORLD" NOT USA ffs

Yea lets go...You and me.... 1 bag...and don't pack any of your Lefty protesting material on human rights You're going to love these thresholds MEDICATION AND PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES 1. The Rules are based upon participation free of prohibited substances and, therefore, all racehorses in Hong Kong are tested pre-race for such substances. Selected horses will also be tested post-race. 2. The Rules provide that "The Stewards shall have the power to withdraw at their discretion any declared runner if a pre-race test taken from such horse is reported by the Chief Racing Chemist or other chemist authorised by him as positive or potentially positive for the presence of any prohibited substance." 3. The Trainer may also be punished for breaching the Rules, in the event that a horse which has been declared to start in a race, is found to have been administered or been exposed to a prohibited substance. 4. Whilst in Hong Kong no treatment of any sort may be given to any racehorse without prior permission from the Club's veterinary surgeons who are the only persons authorised to administer all treatments. If in doubt about treatment of any sort, the horse's Trainer, or his authorised representative should contact one of the Club's veterinary surgeons. There are many specific Rules and Instructions concerning treatment of racehorses in Hong Kong and you should be aware that on the day it is to race, no horse shall receive any treatment which includes any injection, any form of inhalation therapy or nasogastric intubation. Also, intra-articular injections are not permitted within two (2) clear days of racing, where a clear day does not include the day of administration or the day of the race. This applies to the procedure itself and not the medications used, which may well have longer pre-race restrictions applied. No horse is permitted to be subject to a endoscopic examination on the day on which it is to race until after having competed in its race without the express approval of Executive Manager of the Department of Veterinary Regulation. The use of ice, ice packs or cold water treatment on a horse's limbs within two (2) hours of the scheduled time of the race is strictly prohibited. 5. It must be noted that any person providing veterinary services in Hong Kong must, as a statutory requirement, under the Veterinary Surgeons Registration Ordinance, be registered with the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Hong Kong. To obtain such registration may take several weeks. Should a horse's connections anticipate that they may require the services of their own, or a specialist veterinary surgeon, then application to the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Hong Kong must be made at least four (4) weeks prior to such services being required. 6. It should be emphasised that all treatments given to, or procedures carried out on, a horse by a visiting veterinary surgeon, who has been properly registered in Hong Kong, shall be supervised by a Club veterinary surgeon. 7. The prohibited substances under the Club's Rules are: a) Substances capable at any time of causing an action or effect, or both an action and effect, within one or more of the following mammalian body systems: the nervous system the cardiovascular system the respiratory system the digestive system the urinary system the reproductive system the musculoskeletal system the blood system the immune system except for licensed vaccines against infectious agents the endocrine system b) Endocrine secretions and their synthetic counterparts c) Masking agents d) Oxygen carriers e) Agents that directly or indirectly affect or manipulate gene express. Prohibited substances below the following thresholds are not actionable: Threshold name Threshold Arsenic 0.3 microgram total arsenic per millilitre in urine Boldenone 0.015 microgram free and conjugated boldenone per millilitre in urine from male horses (other than geldings) Carbon dioxide 36 millimoles available carbon dioxide per litre in plasma Dimethyl sulphoxide 15 micrograms dimethyl sulphoxide per millilitre in urine, or 1 microgram dimethyl sulphoxide per millilitre in plasma Estranediol in male horses (other than geldings) 0.045 microgram free and glucuroconjugated 5a-estrane-3b, 17a-diol per millilitre in urine. Hydrocortisone 1 microgram hydrocortisone per millilitre in urine Methoxytyramine 4 micrograms free and conjugated 3-methoxytyramine per millilitre in urine Salicylic acid 750 micrograms salicylic acid per millilitre in urine, or 6.5 micrograms salicylic acid per millilitre in plasma Testosterone 0.02 microgram free and conjugated testosterone per millilitre in urine from geldings, or 0.055 microgram free and conjugated testosterone per millilitre in urine from fillies and mares (unless in foal) Theobromine 2 micrograms theobromine per millilitre in urine The conjugated substance is the substance that can be liberated from conjugates.

Write this in sandscrit and take it to bed with you Horses in training are only allowed therapeutic medication with a qualified veterinary diagnosis.

Had Blinkers went to Visors Needed to have a wee peek through the slit to get the competitive juices flowing... Stuck her beautiful noggin out and tried her heart out....

Why are you refusing to acknowledge the 50% drop since '75??

What a simply ridiculous comparison... ....and why aren't you discussing HK's complete ban on Lasix and how effective that is in owning the 'social license' narrative? ...and Barbara Stronach's very strong response after the horrendous deaths at Santa Anita... ...This is the future These revisions comprise best practices currently employed at racetracks around the world: Banning the use of Lasix. Increasing the ban on legal therapeutic NSAIDS, joint injections, shockwave therapy, and anabolic steroids. Complete transparency of all veterinary records. Significantly increasing out-of-competition testing. Increasing the time required for horses to be on-site prior to a race. A substantial investment by The Stronach Group in diagnostic equipment to aid in the early detection of pre-existing conditions. Horses in training are only allowed therapeutic medication with a qualified veterinary diagnosis.

"America is perhaps the best example to use given that its therapeutic medication rules are the most permissive among major racing nations. According to statistics from the Jockey Club Fact Book, in 1960 the average number of starts per horse per year was 11.31. Despite all of the advances in veterinary treatments since then, by 2015 the number of average starts per horse per year had almost halved to 6.18. It is worth noting that the average stayed steady from 1950 to 1975, but went into a downward spiral thereafter. What happened in America around 1975? Lasix had begun to be made legal in states all around the country."

Cant you read....RELATIVELY CONSTANT ...of course you won't show 'Post '75'.... We all know you LOVE American Drug Racing....many contacts there and you want to turn NZ Thoroughbred Racing into an American Drug Racing Base ...just admit it.... ....instead of posting positive Drug excerpts from suspect websites and sus druggies... Tell us IN YOUR OWN WORDS how you'd like to transform NZ Racing...with drugs eh?

No worries mate... As ANY horseman knows sometimes it's maturity and race day experience that allows a previously field shy neddy to compete with the need to activate the competitive herd mentality... ....and then there's Te Akau and Baker/Forsman who routinely Blinker up BTW a beautiful gear change yesterday on Fursdens Filly...VB's on and first win in 2 1/2 years

The data's been well and truely published wee c...look it up Until 1975, when the starts per horse remained relatively constant, LASIX was introduced and nek minute... a DRAMITIC DROP Of course being a Lasix purveyor....(actually are you the supply agent for the Waller stable and others in the Sth Hem.?) ...you and your boyfriend here continue this nonsensical narrative of 'kind' trainers and their use of 'therapeutics' on an ongoing basis... ...you know horses being kept in work while in pain...on a constant diet of NSAID's... I say TRAINERS ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY HORSE HATERS HK's use of approved only Vets, thresholds, and ZERO use of LASIX is the kindest of all And of course Germany's banning bleeders from their Stud Book...certainly an inherited trait...from an 'improving the breed' aspect... Not your 'DRUGS RULE ok'
