So this is what you get when the Racing Industry has a Rolls Royce type JCA... Just like a High Court...only no Black Cloths on the noggin when dishing out Justice... ...ffs, just find them GUILTY az and move on with a simple fine...rather than a MASSIVE overkill investigation containing 'natural justice and free speech' No such thing as free speech when dealing with Stipes... Ms Wynyard was present at the hearing. She indicated on the Information that she admitted the breach and confirmed her admission to the Committee. However, when asked by the Committee Chair if she understood the nature of the charge, she advised that although she admits the breach, she disputes the words that were allegedly directed at the Stipendiary Steward. On that basis the Committee accepted Ms Wynyard’s guilty plea but sought formal proof from two witnesses who Stewards advised would prove the particulars of the charge. Accordingly, evidence was heard from the Clerk of the Course Mr T Wenn and Stipendiary Steward Ms V Algar. Evidence of Mr Wenn Mr Wenn advised the Committee that whilst in his role as Clerk of the Course he was in the area where horses were being marshalled to bring them in to the parade ring then on to the birdcage. He said that he overheard Stipendiary Steward Ms Algar instructing Ms Wynyard to “get this horse into the birdcage”. He said that as a result Hollie (Ms Wynyard) got fired up and said, “you can go and get F…ked”. Mr Wenn said that in response Ms Algar questioned Ms Wynyard asking did you just tell me “to go and get f…ked”. Mr Wenn reiterated that, that Ms Wynyard was fired up. In response to a question from the Committee Mr Wenn confirmed the words used by Ms Wynyard. Under cross examination from Ms Wynyard, she put it to Mr Wenn that the words she used were “F off”.She further stated that she directed worse words at Ms Algar; namely that “she was a little Hitler”. In reply Mr Wenn confirmed his earlier evidence in terms of what he believed was said. Evidence of Ms Algar Trainee Stipendiary Steward Ms Algar advised that part of her race day duties included checking horse in the parade ring and ensuring they moved into the birdcage. She said that in this regard she had just finished the plate inspection of horses in the parade and Ms Wynyard, was the last the bring her horse (KEY) into the ring. Ms Algar said she told Ms Wynyard to take her horse through into the birdcage. Ms Wynyard told her she was waiting for her jockey and would not go through into the birdcage. In doing so, it was Ms Algar’s evidence that Ms Wynyard directed the following comments at her; “F…. you and you are like Hitler”. Evidence of Ms Wynyard Ms Wynyard disputed the actual words used. She said that she did not recall using the words “F…. you”, but rather she said that her actual words were “F…. off …..you are a little Hitler”. Ms Wynyard further stated that she believed an arrangement had been made with Stewards (by her co-trainer Mr Benner) concerning her horse. She said that she has previously had a ‘run in’ with Ms Algar, who she said is very vigilant and does not understand that it is not always “clear cut with horses”. Ms Wynyard concluded her evidence by stating that never used the words “F…k you” but conceded that she said “F…. Off”. Decision: As Ms Wynyard admitted the charge it was deemed to be proved. Additionally, the Committee is satisfied after hearing evidence from Mr Wenn, Ms Algar and Ms Wynyard that the language used, in the circumstances, does constitute misconduct. Mr Wenn is independent, and he was quite clear about what he heard and the fact that Ms Wynyard in his words was “fired up”. Ms Wynyard is a Licensed Trainer and as such is bound by the Rules of Racing. Furthermore, it is a play on words whether she said F you or F off, as we believe that the language which was directed at Ms Algar is well beyond what an Official should reasonably be expected to bear and therefore amounts to misconduct. Submission For Penalty: Mr Oatham submitted that contrary to Ms Wynyard’s evidence no special arrangements had been made for her horse in relation to the parade ring. He said that the only accommodation made by Stewards was for KEY to wear a blindfold when being placed into the barrier stalls. He said that Ms Algar’s actions were quite reasonable, and she was only doing her job. He said that in terms of the charge it does not matter what the exact words used were, whether they be F you or get F’ed. Mr Oatham submitted that Ms Wynyard had breached the Misconduct Rule once previously, namely last June 2020 in relation to a trackwork incident. The matter was dealt with by way of NRI and Ms Wynyard was fined $1000 and ordered to participate in anger management counselling. Mr Wynyard submitted that she completed the course but has yet to pay the fine (as she has not received an account). She said that it was a big race day, with high pressure. She said her filly had previously experienced problems at the barrier, and everything she said to Ms Algar was in the heat of the moment. She said she was now sorry about the way she spoke to Ms Algar. Reasons For Penalty: The JCA Penalty Guide does not specify a starting point for misconduct as a breach of this nature can cover a multitude of situations and penalties. Specific facts as well as factors concerning culpability and the personal circumstances of the Respondent need to be considered. The Committee is appreciative of the fact that the words used by Ms Wynyard must be considered in light of the time, place, and context. Whilst the use of an occasional or one-off expletive may be acceptable in some settings and, in the heat of the moment; it can never be acceptable for a License Holder to direct such language at an Official (i.e., Stipendiary Steward) in the execution of their duty, in response to a directive, in a very public setting. Further, we understand that the language was overheard by at least two other persons who were in the vicinity. There may well have been others who overheard the language, and, in our view, this does not reflect well on both Ms Wynyard and on such a big occasion, notably Waikato RC’s premier meeting for the year. There are several precedent cases of misconduct, but very few where language or behaviour has been directed at a Stipendiary Steward in the execution of their duty. We have taken cognisance of two most recent (Harness Racing) cases where abuse has been directed at Stewards; namely: RIU v Habraken (2020) – Misconducted himself by repeated use of obscene language directed at a Stipendiary Steward. Fined $1250. RIU v B Orange (2020) – Misconducted himself by repeatedly telling RIU staff to f… off when lawfully investigating a racing matter. Total fine imposed of $1000. A distinguishing and aggravating factor when comparing this case to the above cases is that this is Ms Wynyard’s second breach of the Rule within the past 12 months. On this and the previous occasion she has directed unnecessary, inappropriate, and unacceptable language at Industry participants. Ms Wynyard advised the Committee that following the previous breach she has sought professional help. We encourage her to continue with this programme. In the final analysis the penalty we impose must be proportionate and balanced to denounce misconduct of this nature and act as a deterrent. Therefore, we determine that a fine of $1200 is appropriate in the circumstances of this case. ..

Here's the Rotorua incident Rotorua horse makes run for it down main street 27 Nov, 2019 07:02 PM2 minutes to read A horse and rider chasing after the runaway horse on Fenton St. Photo / Supplied Rotorua Daily Post A runaway racehorse caused a stir this afternoon after it was spotted hoofing it down Fenton St without a rider, closely followed by a horse and jockey chasing it. Thomas Sears was just minding his business standing outside the bank on Fenton St, when he heard something unusual. "I heard a galloping noise, so I turned around and had a look and I saw this completely jet-black horse come flying down the road in the oncoming lane towards traffic," Sears said. "In the other lane was a cop car with his lights on coming after him." ADVERTISEMENT Sears went back to getting money out of the ATM when he heard a second galloping noise behind him. "I looked up and there was a second horse, with a rider on it, chasing after the first one." The horse was running north from the Fenton St and Hinemoa St intersection, towards the Government Gardens, he said. Sears said he believed that due to the second rider chasing after it, the runaway horse must have come from the racecourse not too far away. Races were being held at the racecourse this evening. A police spokeswoman confirmed police had been called to reports of a horse on the loose at 3.26pm. "Animal control was advised and the horse was located and the horse is now safe."

Poor Buckers..... Some of these big boys think they're invincible and would do ANYTHING to keep it that way.... This is connected... Millionaire Ultra Tune founder Sean Buckley has launched Supreme Court action to block the release of an audio recording that captured him threatening to kill a former business associate and allegedly assaulting his then partner. The sound of Mr Buckley allegedly hitting and choking Jennifer Cole can be heard on the graphic 20-minute recording, in which he accuses her of interfering in a dispute that he says could expose his involvement in potential criminal activity. A lawyer for Mr Buckley declined to comment about the contents of the tape, other than to say it had been tampered with and his client’s comments had been taken out of context. The audio file below contains edited excerpts of the recording. And a warning, some readers may find the contents distressing.The lawsuit, filed by Mr Buckley in the Supreme Court of Victoria on Tuesday, seeks an order banning Ms Cole and a former employee Anthony Swords from distributing the tape and forcing them to locate and destroy any copies, including the original. The documents filed by Mr Buckley do not describe the content of the recording but allege it was made illegally and forms part of an attempted conspiracy to extort him and damage his company’s reputation. Ultra Tune founder Sean Buckley has sought to prevent the distribution of the recording. The recording, which was made in a suite at Melbourne’s Crown Towers, contains Mr Buckley describing to Ms Cole a plan to hire a hitman to kill former business associate Jimmy “Vegas” Seoud before he could implicate him in criminal activity. There is no further evidence that Mr Buckley implemented the plan. Mr Buckley and Ms Cole had been involved since 2017 and the recording was made shortly before their relationship ended. Mr Seoud – who is widely known as Jimmy Vegas – was a director and licensee of Surfers Paradise strip club Toybox Gentlemen’s Club owned by Mr Buckley, until they fell out dramatically in 2019 and their more than decade-long friendship also ended. Mr Seoud lost an unfair dismissal claim against Mr Buckley. The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald have chosen to publish excerpts from the recording because of the public interest in revealing allegations of domestic violence, death threats and potential involvement in criminal activity by a well-known and influential business figure. “I’m now quite distressed about what’s going to be revealed. Jen, I could go to prison. Proceeds of crime – I’ll lose everything,” Mr Buckley can be heard saying in the recording. “This is so f---ing critical I’ll probably have to hire someone to kill him ... OK, I’ve already made those programs to do it, just in case ... I’m not going to go spend the rest of my life in prison I’d rather f---ing shoot him and kill him.” Mr Buckley does not discuss the specifics of the alleged conduct he is concerned about.

Trainer Jamie Richards was pleased with the hit out for the reigning New Zealand Horse of the Year Melody Belle, given she was racing without blinkers and was having just her second public appearance since returning from her Melbourne Spring campaign. She trialled well. They went a decent clip and she was out of her comfort zone without the hood on,” Richards said. Seriously...let this b/s go... "I don't believe" you know much about this topic when you suggest they're badly trained/broken in... Jammie and Muzza Baker are MASSIVE users of Blinkers.... Are you saying their breakers are useless or their training? Pffffft
-
Yep...I think this has been done to dearth.... But it goes like this..the team trialled the shades and found that it made the neddy faster... Concentration does wonderful things for speedier point a to point b transitions.... ...no wandering around smelling da roses...

Oh Lordy... Of course they knew...trialled in them...nek minute...brilliant sustained acceleration it'd never shown before...except in training...with BO... Stink for the others I guess...

Oh shit..it's not the strip making them oxygenise blood better is it? Oh na...look... The Blue Diamond winning Trainers are quite onto it evidently...who knew? Teaming up with the Freedmans: “They were tossing up whether to come here or wait and put him out to seven furlongs which is probably what he looked like he would thrive at after his Sandown win. I went down early in the week and trialled him at Balnarring and they decided to put the blinkers on him. They are tried and tested and know what they’re doing the whole team there and that’s why they produce good winners like they do.”

Hey Geysers.... Just ask yaselves... Wtf does Jammie apply them on almost all his good neddys? Or don't you think he's a VERY good horseman?

Mooner! Have you ever thought... ...as you climb out of the snozzer in the morn...walk over to the full length mirror....panic when the perfect belly button your Mammy gave you...has disappeared...enveloped by the now countless wrinkles...that used to be cute dimples? ...that the joy day vivre that made you such a hit with your preferred sex... ...has also vanished? ...not to mention the ample moist 'arrangement' you used to hold so dear... ...has become a dried arrangement like brittle flowers? Well...these younguns haven't... The 'virus' you used to fear...is coverted by these fresh young go getters... Yes this has gone Viral...and the breeding World loves it You should too...

So once again the pathetic Health & Safety protocols on NZ courses has been EXPOSED...badly As per the norm...CONCERT HALL was led into her stall...then released before she fully entered..hit her flank...then took off sans Jockey Full tit into the outside corner bend fence, somersaulting over...gathered herself....down the hill...over the road and into the children's playground with COC Linda Wheeler in hot pursuit.. Just a few MAJOR issues here...if she'd turned left...would have ended up going into the Main Street and on coming traffic...children in the playground with a panicked horse? Both don't bare contemplating...sheer luck neither eventuated This exact incident occurred a few months back when a horse of Pomare's jumped the outside fence at Rotorua and actually headed down Fenton St and into on coming traffic... Clearly ONE chest high human fence between a panicked horse and exposed human traffic is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE How can the Race Clubs/NZTR H&S plan believe this to be a 'no worries' scenario? CONCERT HALL was extremely lucky to escape major injury and so to were the exposed humans who were minding their own business yet unaware a runaway panicked horse could have ended it all... ...due to a non horse proof low hung fence... NZTR need to audit Clubs ASAP
