Clearly the withdrawing of his license longer than normal..."until he admitted he had a problem" according to NZTR...39 tests in 9 years ...and now forcing him into the Sally's program... Waddell admitted "C is a big part of my life" That indicates he's been riding on it for some time doesn't it...to become so "big"? Without detection...no hair follicle test required...shaved head...very convenient if he shaves everywhere as well...

Actually you should contact him and suggest doing a podcast to see who has the stronger arguments when it comes to superior boners... It should be entertaining and informative...which is what real Journalism is

Methinks others would have read that I was comparing CJ's case of managed supervision with ex Meth users of nada supervision... Maybe they've changed their modus operandi after a blast from H & S that having sfa drug testing then someone dying after being hit by a drugged Jockey....or badly injured.... ...amounts to negligence on behalf of the Governing body who oversees drug detection If Lammas gets the same public vilification that Johnson received when he returns...of 3 monthly hair follicle testing for the first year.. .Just to make sure he's not doing a 'Waddell'..."Cannabis is a big part of my life"...while riding And Lammis will have plenty of options of where to pluck a follicle.. ..especially over winter in his beard growing season...as opposed to Waddell who shaved his noggin..for some reason

So obviously if you stick your finger in the air to 'adjust' you'd also adjust for facing the breeze aka wide without cover...or held up for the entire length of the straight when finishing last in a slow time...right?

It must give you night sweats when there's a head/tail wind down the Riccs/Trentham sort of straight?? And they haven't told you what velocity the howler's howling...how do you adjust...or do you just gamble on maidens at Northern courses? How do you sleep in all that perspiration though?

Never fear, Neil Davis is here! Davis is contracted to NZTR now and alerts their suits to any curious timing...and starting guys inserting stalls 30M short Email him freda formpro@formpro.co.nz

Well that's the profession he earnt his stripes...Editor Bloodhorse, Australian Journo, Author...wine merchant Are you saying the Vino's taken over his boner fidees?

So let's compare Chris Johnson's case with that of Waddell and Morgenrood... 2 shocking examples of historical past serious racing offences compared to Johnson who was just over the 100 mark...130...when driving a car is over 200... Did Morgenrood and Waddell have to provide proof like Johnson had to that they weren't up to their old ways of either violence and/ or drug use by providing susbstantive hair follicle proof covering 3 monthly intervals?? The answer is NO of course... Left free to choose whatever path they wanted....with disastrous consequences for the negative publicity they ultimately left the industry with... ...Meanwhile a small level 30 over for Johnson...and numerous safe guards for for him cf Waddell ...read and weep Johnson admitted the positive test and was suspended until October 16 and was fined $1000. That appeared to be the end of the incident for Johnson, who has admitted his previous battles with the bottle but is adamant he has that under control and he did not drink heavily the night before the failed test or on raceday. That has been backed by sources close to him who have spoken to the Herald. But last week Johnson was sent a letter informing him his licence had been reviewed by NZTR's licensing panel and he was not able to ride again "until such time as NZTR can be satisfied that your riding does not pose an elevated risk of harm to yourself or others". That confusing part for Johnson and his supporters is that he has not been examined by a medical professional in person since his suspension was handed down. NZTR chief executive Bernard Saundry confirmed his organisation's stance but says they want to work with Johnson as his welfare and that of his fellow jockeys and horses is paramount. Johnson is understood to have taken legal advice and is visiting a medical specialist in the field of alcohol dependency in Christchurch this week to obtain an independent assessment in the hope of regaining his licence.

How good is this bloke at saying it how it is?? THE ONLY real Racing Journo left...the rest have bent over and taken a real wage...and not a bad word to be said And who can blame them? Anyway...essential reading here...and a pox on the previous National Gumments and their jobs for boys and girls policy... New boards for racing a chance to get transparency and accountability by Brian de Lore Published 4th December 2020 The Racing Industry is currently metamorhising into a new area of administrators and everyone at the coalface of the industry committed to racing should be nervous about what’s coming. The difference this time is that the industry has no room to move with an ASB bank debt of $45 million. If the wrong people get appointed again, we are sunk as an industry, and we have a history of poor administrators It’s not that people are saying they don’t like the look of the new NZTR board or will be opposed to the ministerial appointments to the new TAB board before they’re announced, it’s that these appointed bodies have no history of success, and the appointment process isn’t any better now than it was before. Look at the accompanying table and examine the Net Tangible Equity line from right to left. From plus $104 million in 2008 to minus $40 million today – 12 years of pain and money evaporated – not just money but also $144 million in lost equity. Now 2019 (4) 2017 (3) 2013 (2) 2008 (1) Net Cash/DEBT -$45m -$25m $40m $40m $65m Net Tangible Equity ($40m) ($20m) $56m $62m $104m Profit $135m $148m $140m $130m Expenses $207m $211m $200m $173m $141m Salaries/Wages $54m $61m $59m $41m $36m Employees on >$100k 151 136 135 93 38 1. Nathan Guy takes over as the Minister for Racing 2. Nathan Guy Minister for Racing Minister and the reign of Glenda Hughes (Chairman) and John Allen (CEO) commences (2015). 3. Winston Peters commences as Minister for Racing 4. RITA is formed and Dean Mackenzie appointed as Chairman and then CEO/Chairman (Dec 2019) But the level of wastage goes well beyond $144 million of tangible equity when you consider the cash cow known as the TAB, previously known as the New Zealand Racing Board, for all those years fuelled a ‘gravy train’ of spending the profits on themselves rather than increasing stakes to keep the industry healthy. We had legislation known as the Racing Act of 2003 but the very reason for the legislation to keep racing in a healthy state with responsible governance was completely ignored – yet there was no accountability. What is the point of passing legislation for racing if the incumbents decide to act in a less than above-board manner and ignore it? What is the point of passing legislation for racing if the incumbents decide to act in a less than above-board manner and ignore it? The Legislation Police do not exist, and it’s as much a problem today as it was then. Things started to go very wrong in the first decade of the 21stCentury when some bright spark decided to sell the four-story building owned at 180 Taranaki Street. The board took the view that NZTR shouldn’t be in the property business and, on March 1st, 2005, sold the building for $2.4 million – it had been inherited from the New Zealand Racing Conference. What would it be worth today? NZTR didn’t use all four floors and had rented out space to local businesses. After the Taranaki Street property was sold, NZTR resided rent-free with NZRB at Petone for the next three years but was then charged rent at commercial rates – which they have paid ever since. How to go from wealthy landlords to poverty-stricken tenants in one easy lesson? Fast forward to 2013 when that esteemed Minister of Racing Nathan Guy appointed fellow National cohort and National Party director Glenda Hughes Fast forward to 2013 when that esteemed Minister of Racing Nathan Guy appointed fellow National cohort and National Party director Glenda Hughes as Chair of the NZRB on August 1st – and let the nepotism commence. During the Hughes reign, the Petone property was sold for $9 million when on the books at $21 million. Hughes appointed John Allen (shifted sideways from Foreign Affairs) who appointed Glen Saville who went off to Ireland alone to strike up deals for a fixed-odds betting platform (FOB) with Paddy Power and Openbet. He, Hughes,and John Allen spent $50 million on the FOB and, with his board’s approval, committed the TAB to $17 million per year in updates to keep everything working. Glen Saville had previously worked for Tom Waterhouse Bookmaking for about three years. Saville has since gone from the TAB to reportedly work for Donbest in the USA, which is in the same ownership group as Openbet and Scientific Games based in Las Vegas. Decisions essentially made by four people oversaw this massive decline Decisions essentially made by four people oversaw this massive decline. Earlier in 2011, Michael Stiassny collected $77,000 in director fees in the same year he drove the Typhoon Betting Platform, which was written-off before it was ever turned on at a reputed overall cost of between $20 and $30 million. Stiassny also employed Andrew Brown as the CEO on an annual salary of almost $1 million. Brown was followed by Bayley who was followed by Allen – the triumvirate of tragedy. The 12-year decline is a real figure, yet the one constant during those 12 years is that you can pull up any of the annual reports, and the chairperson and CEO’s addresses all have a common theme of telling you how well they have done. The TAB Annual Report released last week has Executive Chair Dean McKenzie’s report reading as though he’d just won an Oscar at the Academy Awards. He finishes with a long list of acknowledgments. It reads in part: “And finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank the entire racing industry. At many times through the year, feedback from the industry has been robust. I put this down to the overwhelming passion through which participants approach the sport they love, combined with demands of such a comprehensive reform programme. “However, we are by no means in the home straight.”- Dean McKenzie McKenzie also said: “This year will go down as a year like no other. Yet, through it all, the new foundations for the industry are now firmly set. However, we are by no means in the home straight.” “Home straight.” You have to be kidding, we have three laps to go before the $45 million owed to the ASB is paid down and we can look at increasing stakes. The Executive Chair’s Report makes no mention of the bank debt or the plight of the owner who ultimately pays for the product on which the punters bet to provide the diabolically low level of prizemoney. They are the three issues that really matter; the rest is detail. But I am not telling you anything new. The narrative in all these annual reports can be filed under the ‘smoke and mirrors’ category, and anyone in racing who has bothered to read them will know that by now. The reason for dragging up this unsavoury history once more is not to make you feel ill, but to simply remind the industry that we could do without a repeat of these mistakes mentioned above, as the new CEO for the TAB is in the process of selection, and the ministerially appointed panel of Alan Galbraith QC, Liz Dawson and Anne Urlwin consider who the seven people will be to make up the new 7-person TAB Board. From their collective knowledge, Galbraith, Dawson and Urlwin will recommend to the Minister the people who will run wagering in NZ From their collective knowledge, Galbraith, Dawson and Urlwin will recommend to the Minister the people who will run wagering in NZ. Wagering is a very specialised business and once they have made their choices, will the Minister Grant Robertson (who’s wagering experience is that he likes a bet) be armed with the correct information to make educated decisions? RITA first advertised for CEO pre-COVID19, which delayed the process, but the whispers say two Australians were interviewed, and a third under consideration has withdrawn his application since learning the remuneration offered for the position was reduced to $350,000. The previous incumbent CEO, John Allen, was taking home $680,000. This year’s annual report identifies the top salary as $520,000, which is likely to relate to Executive Chair Dean McKenzie. It also says 51 employees earned $100,000 or more, which is a substantial increase numerically from the previous but may relate to severance packages more than annual packages. The pressure is on to get a board that can turn this ship around. The industry at large may be ambivalent about appointments, but the changing of the guard has never been so crucial because repeating history isn’t an option.

So I rooted around various organisations pleading for this 'industry mirror' to be resurrected via sponsorship... I should have known Davo Ellis would take up the baton and rally tally ho the troops...at least 10 players jumped on Board...including NZ Bloodstock who wanted their day in the sun for promoting their sales... ...f me...what's a Bloodstock business got to do with a Racing Review show you may ask? Yep NADA that's what...but seeing as Dear MRs Emily's NZ Bred show got the DCM...they coat tailed on board and self produced an item from the Ready To Run sale that was a dead set shocker...read off a sandwich board by a sales assistant pretending to be 'interviewed' Anyway the sum total of this show now that Mick contra Guerin has taken it over as Producer is 'I'll scratch yours and you can scratch mine' and never a controversial topic shall I raise if you'll sponsor the show Flibberty f in marvellous for Mick and Emily then...they've got a job...and the sponsors won't have a word said agin them.. So they announced first week "Luke Radich is going to join the panel" F yea we thought!! Luke is the ONLY one left in 'Racing Journalism' that will call a spade a spade and not care whose foot he's standing on... 8 weeks down and Luke is no where to be seen!!! WTF?? And believe it or not...NOT ONE NEGATIVE THING HAS HAPPENED that this 'show' could've commented on... The most hilarious thing to happen was when Emily's Hubby Opee won the Puke Cup Guerin "Emily, what's Opee think about the whip sweetheart" Emms "oh, he's STRONGLY for it" Hahaha...I bet he is...that same week he'd just won the Puke Cup by illegal Whip use and got fined 1k! Did either Mick or Emmys mention that FACT YEA NA! What a f in surprise! Tune in tonight for more back pattin bum slappin telly and never a controversy raised...zzzzzzzz... ...and NO RADICH either!!

Well Nabber nabbed it back to last from a wide draw...Pikey didn't have to notify Punters here as opposed to the professional Strayains remember...but he could have if he wanted to...thanks Pikey... All he had in front of him was a bunch of fannys...what would you do if you were a Stud Freda? Best performances are from the trail over 1400/1600... At least Nabber let the reins go as you say... Off to Stud now...3rd in the Straddy...not bad...a Station Stud at Erehwon maybe? Although he's owned by some Royal family in Qatar....the country who bribed their way to World Cup hosting...so he may end up anywhere after a few bevvies over a camel hotpot...

The Racing Industry knows it's got problems if 2 senior Jockeys in Lammas & Waddell are found guilty of Class A drug offences. Drug offending tends to be a pernicious thing...A buys off B...promises payment next week....can't afford it next week... ...you get the picture...standover tactics, blackmail, gangs et el Something abhorrent in a big money Industry such as racing/gambling So the revelation that Waddell admitted that "cannabis is a big part of my life" as part of his past riding career is shocking in itself. Having escaped months without receiving a drug test comes as no surprise though. We all know the RIU's drug testing protocols, both horse and rider, are WOEFUL! Remember the first time they ventured North to Ruakaka last year,over 20 years since testing was established, they found a number of track riders testing positive. So you'd think with Waddell's atrocious record of serious racing offences including meth and threatening behaviour to other Jockeys et el... ...the RIU would have been requiring drug testing every 3 months through the far more reliable hair testing...surely? This also shows up meth use which has a withholding period of 48hrs in urine. Yea na to that... So just how long was Waddell allowed to ride while relaxed and toked out without being tested...or methed out and excited, who knows...just witness his daring but selfish ride in the Oaks this year..extremely dangerous riding for sure... The history of the RIU in allowing 2nd, 3rd, 4th chances to multiple offending such as Waddell's is simply awful The worst recent case, Jockey Morgenrood applying for a NZ licence...the RIU's Cruikshank and Oatham investigated his appalling Sth African record and said... "Its unlikely he'll abuse the privilege if we grant him an A licence" This year he threatened to end the career of his ex partner by engineering her fall...among other things The RIU/NZTR's PATHETIC protocols around serious racing offences and how they're handled leaves the Industry open for widespread ridicule when offenders are allowed to roam free, unchecked, casting even more approbrium on our fragile Industry. http://www.jca.org.nz/non-race-day-hearings/non-raceday-inquiry-riu-v-j-waddell-reserved-decision-dated-3-december-2020-chair-mr-p-wicks-qc-1

Who knew the GOAT was a Thoroughbred devotee? The horseracing world of Diego Maradona Nicholas Godfrey | NOVEMBER 28, 2020 SHARE Diego Maradona and superstar jockey Jorge Valdivieso after Refinado Tom completed the Argentine Triple Crown in 1996. Photo: La Nacion Diego Maradona, the footballing legend who died last week, was also a noted horse racing enthusiast who even numbered a G1 success among 18 winners as an owner in Argentina. Maradona, the flawed genius considered by many the greatest footballer of all time, died last Wednesday after a heart attack at the age of 60. Three days of national mourning were declared in his home country. Among the thousands to pay tribute around the world was Brazilian jockey Jorge Ricardo, all-time record holder in career victories. “Today a great athlete left us, who accomplished his mission with mastery,” tweeted the jockey known as ‘Ricardinho’, based in Buenos Aires for nearly two decades. “Go with God, Diego Maradona.” Indulging a childhood passion for horses when he returned to his native country in the 1990s in the latter stages of his glorious career, Maradona operated a string of horses under the Stud La Bombonera banner in homage to the famous ‘chocolate box’ ground of his beloved Boca Juniors FC in Buenos Aires. Introduced to racing as an owner by his friend Hector Del Piano, a leading Argentine owner-breeder, Maradona’s horses carried blue-and-yellow silks – again, a nod to the Boca Juniors colours. The highest-profile horse to represent him was the colt who borrowed his nickname, Diegol, and won six races – five at Palermo and the G1 Gran Premio Joaquin V Gonzalez at La Plata in November 1997. Trained by Jorge Mayansky Neer, he was bred out of the mare Dalma Nerea, whom Maradona owned in partnership with Del Piano. Maradona enjoyed naming his horses with personal footballing links: Cani – after his flamboyant Argentine teammate Claudio Caniggia, a close friend (the pair once celebrated a goal with a kiss on the lips), and Nob, a reference to his time playing for Rosario-based Newell’s Old Boys, also featured for him. Guillote was named for his agent Guillermo Coppola. Another leading performer was G3 scorer Persuasivo Fitz, who won three times at San Isidro before being sold to race in Dubai as a 4-year-old. In later life, Maradona was seen at Meydan during a stint living in Dubai, where he also managed local side Al Wasl for a spell. Although Maradona’s appearances at the racetrack were only sporadic, he did the honours presenting the trophies after the 3-year-old Refinado Tom completed the Argentine Triple Crown with victory in the GP Nacional (Argentine Derby) on dirt at Palermo in 1996. The horse was ridden by Jorge Valdivieso, who also rode Maradona’s horses when commitments allowed. “Even if it’s mine, I can’t ride it – I’ll leave it to Valdi,” Maradona once remarked. Maradona’s first trainer in Argentina was Ignacio Correas, who went on to operate successfully in the U.S., notably via the Breeders’ Cup Distaff success of ex-Argentine Blue Prize in 2019. In Argentina, Blue Priza was also handled by Jorge Mayansky Neer, who became a friend of Maradona when training for him before he dispersed his interests after the turn of the century. “I named my youngest son Diego for him, and I almost named him Diego Armando,” said the trainer. “He was very passionate and when he didn’t go to the races and we won with one, I immediately called him. “The day after Diegol won a Group 1, he had a barbecue at the stud and joked a lot with everyone, as always.” This story first appeared on horseracingplanet.com.

Yes that was next Mooner! And the reason he gets his Nic name...Opee! Brucey I wasn't a stoner Herd gets asked by the nich nursey to provide a 'sample' This was the early days when testing was taken as a trust thingy and very lax...the days of Lisa fried Cropp...who continually escaped detection...with meth out of the system within 48 hrs usually Opee gets hit up by Bwucey to flip out his pecker for him...The I show you his ill show you mine thing we used to do down behind the trees at play time Anyway...being a friendly Jocks look after Jocks room as per the norm.. Opee slips Bwucey his wee wee...and not a drop was spilt... Excepting this nursey was no ordinary white coat...and smelt a swapped wee at 5 paces... And alerted the Feds.... ...nowadays it's like a proper Sports Sample...where said nurse has to view the full on pecker... But it turns out even the best peckers can look fake....today Mike Tyson admitted he had a fake pecker which he pulled out and provided a fake sample! Who knew wrinkly skin could look so real in so many phases...just watch your Moon TV Mooner and Leigh Harts fake gardner with his fake short pants! Anyway thanks to the Gods today's Nurses are all over the wee ruses!

So we all pretty much realise by now Opee has 'favoured son' status in NZ.. Just read this load of old tosh to confirm...its about his Whip rap sheet... Youll note his best mate Oatham convienently forgets to mention his rap sheet in Sydney at Easter...(of course they're supposed to include any suspension/fines overseas) where he had another fine of 1K for overuse ..and the equally hopeless JCA rapidly accepts the RIU's inaccurate report...while ignoring Opee's long hiatus over winter...continually telling us he's a "busy rider" yea na Submission For Penalty: Mr Oatham said that Mr Bosson had had 2 breaches of this Rule in the last 12 months one of those being at the Tauranga RC meeting on the 14th of October 2020 where he incurred a 5 day suspension and the other was on the Counties Cup day on the 23rd of November 2019 when he received a $500.00 fine. Mr Oatham said that although this was the 3rd breach in a 12 month period he asked the Committee to exercise discretion and impose a fine rather than the mandatory suspension. He said that the first breach was only 2 days inside the 12 month period. He also said that a Committee in Christchurch had recently exercised discretion for Mr C Johnson and imposed a fine rather than a suspension. He said that the fine under the Guidelines was $500.00 but because this was a Group 2 Race there should be an uplift in the fine as was the case for Mr Johnson. Mr Bosson said he would prefer a fine. Reasons For Penalty: The number of strikes is agreed. The Committee has pointed out to Mr Bosson the importance of Animal Welfare and also the fact that members of the Public watching races at home do not like seeing horses being struck excessively with the whip and they complain to NZTR. Notwithstanding that this was Mr Bosson's third breach in 12 months the Committee has decided to exercise discretion and deal with this matter by way of fine rather than a suspension. Mr Bosson is a very busy Rider and he should be given credit for the long gap between the 23rd of November 2019 and the 14th of October 2020. Bearing in mind that this is a Group 2 Race any fine needs to be significant and the Committee thinks that a fine of $1000.00 is appropriate. Penalty: This Committee imposes a fine of $1000.00 on Mr Bosson.

Well writes actually...he doesn't want the NZTR Chairmenship...but the inexperienced new members pleaded with him to be an 'Interim' Chair.... ...and now he's released a Khum By Are missive...to relly relly the Troops for the war Full of platitudes we've all heard before I'm afraid "The NZTR Board would like to announce a number of key decisions and initiatives that were recently agreed upon at its 25 November Board meeting. As Chairman I’m excited by the options we have in front of us to create an exciting future and implement actions to energise, excite and set up a sustainable future, in line with our own way of thinking and considerations from the Messara Report. Our priority was to ensure we continued with Bernard Saundry as CEO until July 31 2022. This enables the Board to build on existing relationships for the greater benefit of the industry in the short to mid-term, while a number of other actions are being managed into place for the longer term. To have stability in the CEO role for a further 12 months beyond this racing season is sensible, and crucial for our industry in reaching its long-term potential. In addition to Bernard’s extension, the Board resolved to undertake an organisational review of NZTR. This will include but is not limited to structure, capability, resource, culture, and location. A focus of the review will be identifying the best succession plan to replace the CEO at the conclusion of the 21/22 season. These elements will be reviewed in the near future, with the appropriate actions to be implemented in a timely manner. The key consideration principle for all matters will be an “horse and industry first” stance in line with cost and output efficiency and quality. The NZTR Board collectively believes that it’s time all parts of the business are put to the test of what is best for the industry and our future. The review action will happen quickly in order for us to plan a rollout phase for any potential change for better industry outcomes. This review will run parallel with a number of other matters that are currently being consulted and/or developed within NZTR and the industry: Future racing calendar Club hubs and Venue Planning Future use of the Whip Funding for 2021/22 season TAB NZ Board selection process Improving Training and Education outcomes by way of a Training, Development and Welfare Programme Assist in transitioning to the Racing Integrity Board IT systems integration and upgrade with Racing Australia and Technology One I would like to encourage everyone to get involved in creating an exciting future as history shows us that when we act as one, with an “horse and industry first” mindset we can be enablers and achieve great things - we own it with you. NZTR Board, Management and staff are committed to building and maintaining excellent relationships with all sectors of the industry, so that all participants can seamlessly navigate through an exciting change period to implement a healthy and sustainable future for New Zealand racing."

So just before the Whip cheating race Opee decided he didn't want to be in a pocket and simply went hard down left handlebars.. ....into poor Jockey Dells mount which caused mayhem further out...then spat Dell out Opee's rear...and tailed off Not only was he just 1/2 L clear...where the rule is your length and another before changing ground... ....Cheating Opee decided to use his elbows into Dell's arms...a real 'don't argue' Got sfa suspension under the relatively new system of counting every meeting...even though the only time Opee's been to Cromwell was to pick Apricots...the 2 day meeting was included... So in reality he got 3 days for this video nasty Watch and weep at the 300M mark https://loveracing.nz/RaceInfo/49603/6/Race-Detail.aspx

Racing has to keep up with society throughout the World I'm afraid... ..a few years back 'Bullying' was widely accepted in the workplace and if you didn't like it then "harden the f up" The same goes with 'bullying' horses with a whip to make them run faster Just let that sink in...Imagine having to whip an animal to make them run faster so owners get xtra money... The narrative over the Whip is largely..."it's the sound that ignites the 'flight' response..they feel no pain" Great...give Jocks a button to push that goes 'bang bang' then...

Well the narrative is "he's got one sprint" according to Pike... But let's get back to the point in question... Every Punter has the right to see a Jockey try their mount...whether it's by Whip or simple hands and heels... ...or in Chads case...letting the mofo reins loosen...and ignore how the horse feels....what's one or two slaps going to do....destroy its lungs? Is that too much to ask...David Walkers cramps aside?

It's the when in Rome thingy... Funnily enough, Chad callouses on his hands Orms, just got his 3rd whip violation in the last 12 months midweek...and he had a huge break off in that time.... Beat BEESKNEES nearly 20 times up the straight and got up by a head from Troy's mount...who also got beat up with Troy receiving 7 days as well... Its a shame he didn't give ENDLESS at least one...just to see if he really was trying... Chaddy that is

Does the King of the Breed not react to reigns thrown at them? What about a wee shout or a clickety click... ...once Chaddies cramped hands stop cramping...will he turn around and bite him do you think Freda?

I'm in favour of a Jock letting the brakes off... ..even a wee throw of the reins at his neck...like normal trying Jocks do Is that too much to ask?

Hello is specsavers calling?? I posted this on the 12th...they came out with their document on the 20th... ...which I posted 3 posts ago... Keep up big c

To emphasise his cheating ways he tried this back on October 10 when weighing out sans vest..."a genuine attempt"...not half assed or even a human error... Mr Jones said that Mr Williamson observed the weigh-out and that it was a genuine attempt to weigh out without a vest by Mr Bosson.
