  2. A deadset Johnny Rotter of a few months for Kee Wee racing officials as well... Their Alan Whickers are well soiled I'm afraid...they've been channelling a 2 yo's pre potty training... Started with a starter of course...who lined up his Riccarton gates 30M short for a race...the same theme continued a few weeks later where half the field were loaded...then unloaded when a sleepy Stipe woke up to see the stalls in the wrong place...again ...whereupon a horse was kicked and injured amongst the confusion out the back...f me... The Handicapper resigned and all hell broke lose when his replacement couldn't read the rules properly and got his Weights all f'd up on a Premier day...Even Saundry was called into the room at HB and asked his opinion... ...Meanwhile Oatham had ordered a re weigh...all saddled up...again...then Pike protested...and won it...20 minutes later the race started What a f up.. More...a Clerk of the Scales didn't bother telling Stipes a Jockey was 1 kg overweight... ...HQ's prized Starter ex HONG KONG...vastly experienced, forgot to press the re set button...yelled "watch ya gates"...where nothing happened...apart from the Jocks anticipating the start with 3 horses smashing into the gates... Wait there's more...after a quick nightcap
  3. Well post post lockdown x2 I decided to biff the shackles and took up the 'see ya country option'...both Muriwai's IQ's and the nooks and crannies I visited shot up considerably I'm told... You?
  4. Fair crack . . .its been a dinky dye Betty Crocker of a past few weeks when it comes to Whip Integrity here . . . Just the last month we've had a race that had 4 violations in it...all fined.... Opee smashed his mount all the way up the straight...20 smashes in all...got up in the last stride over a horse that was struck 4 times...but of course kept the race as there's no protest allowed.. ...and this last weekend 3 violations on winners.... New research out suggests Whip V non Whip racing in the NH has an advantage of @3L to the Whip...who knew neddies try harder when smacked?? But it's an awful aesthetic...apart from the unfairness of winning against the rules...hello Melbourne Cup So the new Racing Victoria Whip rule was turned down by Racing Australia today...but expect its introduction specifically for Victoria soon az...because they're VERY determined Us? Well continue in our own wee World with the likes of Opee smacking mounts 20 times and keeping the race... Integrity NZ Style

Thoroughbred Racing can't hide away on a desert island anymore from changing societal attitudes

  17. About time,.weirdly we simply follow Australia's lead on this because we love sheep,.... ,....NZTR had a massive opportunity Post covid return to change alongside the less than fit horses that were presented,.... ,.of course they didn't even consider it,....baaaaaa Internationally were way behind the World on this,..Australasia is about to join the rest of the World,.. Racing Victoria wants to outlaw whip use on horses other than for safety purposes in a bold push for reform on racing’s most contentious welfare issue. “RV is of the view that a new framework is required to transition the industry to an ultimate prohibition on use of the whip for purposes other than to protect the safety of horses and jockeys,” an RV spokesman said. Recent penalty changes to whip abuses have not materially affected jockey behaviour, promping RV to seek a vote at November’s Racing Australia board meeting that “the transition commences with a significant reduction in the permitted use of the whip in a race.” “RV will propose that, from 1 January 2021, riders are only permitted to use the whip on a maximum number of occasions throughout the entire race and never in a horse’s consecutive strides,” RV said. “RV is proposing that the maximum number (of strikes) be between five and eight occasions per race.” Current Australian Rules of Racing permit the use of the whip a maximum of five times in non-consecutive strides prior to the 100m mark. But the number of strikes in the final 100m of a race is left to rider discretion, where whip use in consecutive strides is permitted with strikes of sometimes up to 12 or more. RV chief executive Giles Thompson and leading owner Lloyd Williams are alarmed at the damage being caused in the wider community by flagrant whip breaches. “As industry leaders, we are charged with not only managing the sport today but ensuring that it remains vibrant and successful for generations to come,” Thompson said. “Making progress on whip reform is important if we want to retain our existing audiences and ensure that we’re an attractive option for the fans and employees of tomorrow. “It is Racing Victoria’s view that progress on whip reform is needed now, and that the industry nationally, acting in its best long-term interests, should continue to work towards a prohibition on the use of the whip for purposes other than to protect the safety of horses and jockeys. “It is critical that jockeys are permitted to carry a whip to ensure their safety and jockey safety is something that we will always advocate. “We want to reduce the number of times the whip can be used in Victorian racing, and indeed nationally, from 2021. “This would be an important step in the right direction for our industry, one that recognises the progression of community attitudes in the decade since padded whips were first introduced. “Britain, Ireland, France, Germany and key states in the USA have either implemented or announced significant reductions in permitted whip use and have seen great competitive racing continue. “At this time Australian racing has been left behind when it comes to reforms on whip use. “The industry will always be best served by a national approach to whip reform and this is something that we desire, however to this point that has not been achievable. “We believe that prompt progress on whip reform is in the best interests of Australian racing and we are encouraging the Racing Australia Board and other states to join us in making meaningful steps this year. “In doing so, we will be consulting with our key stakeholder groups over the coming months on the implementation of specific rules that would see important whip reform achieved through a reduction in the permitted number of occasions that it can be used in a race.” Williams has urged Australian authorities to lead the way on whip reform. Major international jurisdictions – Ireland (eight times per race), Great Britain, US (Kentucky and California, six), Germany and France (both five) – have announced reductions in legal whip strikes. RV believes the current national whip rules are no longer appropriate and not in the best interests of Victorian and Australian racing, both now and in the long-term. In calling for whip reform, RV believes jockeys should be permitted to continue to carry whips at all times, but that the industry should be working towards a framework where whip use is only permitted in circumstances necessary to protect the safety of riders and horses. RV tabled its view with RA Australia in February 2020 that changes to the national whip rules are essential for the future of Victorian and Australian racing. RV said “if national consensus on an amendment to the Australian Rules of Racing cannot be reached, RV will explore alternative approaches to achieve meaningful progress on whip reform.” “The use of the whip in thoroughbred racing has long been a cause for debate both within the industry and the broader community. “RV remains of the view that padded whips do not constitute a risk to equine welfare, however it is clear that their ongoing use is becoming less compatible with community expectations each year.”
