So after 4 weeks the hopeless RIB finally get to 'investigate' the Kurow judge stuff up "Kurow Jockey Club - Monday 30 December 2024 Race 10 - COUPLANDS WORKING DOGS R75 1400m Subsequent to the race day at Kurow on 30 December 2024, it was brought to the Stewards’ attention that there may be an error in the placings for Race 10. On review of the evidence, the Stewards ascertained that the judge incorrectly placed the horses in third and fourth position. The issue was raised with the Judge who accepted that an error had been made. There are no provisions in the Rules for Stewards to amend Judges’ placings after the payment of dividends has commenced and accordingly the official placings will remain unchanged." So this snugg fits the John Craig stuff up Has the RIB now instigated a double check in the 'sole' judge stuff ups to avoid such in the future? Oatham said "the Puke judge is too far away for us guys to observe the piks" Just sort it, send a note to the stipes to run up and meet the judge...half way even What price integrity of the CORRECT placings??

Well you may well arks @chiefstipe When I contacted NZTR and pointed out how many readings Australia provide punters in THREE They said..;it's hard to get our tracks calibrated...then we tried to bring in the shear reading, providing a shear reader to many tracks...but that didn't work out..." Get the picture Chief? Then Mick Pitman was ropable when interviewed by Geggy O'Connor on Trackside this weekend "why are we running on all thes SOFT tracks in the middle of summer FFS" pretty much word for word...and he has influence on the trainer's committees but how much weight does that carry?

Well it's funny you should say that When Wazz first came here Opee bailed him up and arksed "how do you manage to bounce up and down like that and win sooo many races" The answer's inda puddin' I guess...no??

And you're as equally CLULESS Chief You'd do well in Trump's brand new US of A.. HEARTLESS, COMPASSIONLESS, INHUMAN Wealthy billionaires running the country with a heart as cold as an AI ice burg Horse's treated like money making commodities, next stop the glue factory Thank God you're living in the past in AOTEAROA then

When Generation Alpha finds out NZTR have funded 3 or is it 4 Crematoriums to dispose of unwanted horses There will be hell to pay Just how many are being re-homed? NZTR are clueless when it comes to these 'stats' and have failed to reasonably activate this part of the 'social license'

Remarkable style Wazza When I started out riding I was warned.."DON'T give the horse a sore back...or else!! Wazza bounces up and down on a horse's back like a yoyo Very similar to ex Sth African jockey Jeff Lloyd..one of the best in Queensland a few years back...perhaps taught this style in the par excellence Sth African apprentice schools? Maybe the forward momentum gained being shanghai'd off the back helps propel the horse forward? Anyway sore back next day or not...Wazza is a winner

Wazza "last time I rode him I said to Danny 'he's getting up and there and getting cruisy on me...lifting his head up...he's not attacking the line...it's time for BLINKERS!!!...and you saw...the old CROCETTI's back!! Nakhle's over the flippen moon...thanks to BO's!!

So LA DORADA & DAMASK ROSE both get BO (1st time) and cruise it Just as MELODY BELLE, PROBABEEL & DYNASTIC did before them Special training performance in recognising what works and what doesn't..in training.. Nek minute CROCEETI! Looked under pressure but BO kicked in and he concentrated superbly to push through a gap to win a nose

If any Man from Mars arrived here they'd be thinking planet Earth has constant RAIN When NZTR adopted the ridiculous Australian rating 'system' they didn't take into account how crazy a SOFT rating sounds when it's NOT SOFT at all Maybe to an Arstralian it is... NZTR then FAILED to recognise the new system introduced another H to the confusion...the old H9 H 10 to H8 H9 H10 When punters HATE H ratings! It's terribly misleading...however NZTR and Australia are about to introduce a 7 point rating system...surely they'll sort the nonsense out this time? #yeana

Chief and his bro Trog wiil take note there's no round arm action going on...which is what happens when the ass gets wacked Spratty motion is flat up and down on the highly sensitive flank I'd say a 'half strike' on the flank = a full ass strike She's constantly reminding her mount what she's there for I counted @30 continuous strikes from the 300M mark Blatant cheating rubber stamped by RIB/NZTR

What's she doing then Magoo...hitting scotch mist?

Soz, dont know whether I'm talking to Arfur or Marfa half the time Here's Spratt whippin' the flank all the way down the Tauranga straight in Woodsy's Green colours The winner if you're colour blind

Here Chief, this is the prime example you asked for Spratty when winning on Chris Wood's horse..Woodsy should give the prize money back asap Just watch the head on...it's all you need Chief

There's zero comparison to hands on reins neck whippin' to what Spretty does Consecutive strikes on the flank which reminds the horse how it's going to be much more painful when it becomes harder close to the line Shocking cheating rubber stamped by RIB

Ask Russ when you go tomorrow Chief, he's very approachable

Both of those scenarios aint gunna happen I'm afraid While they'll ban flank whipping...to some degree...the Jockey's Association headed by Andy Lacy has huge influence and they'll more than likely water it down as much as possible At least they recognised how ridiculous an outright 10 strikes was and introduced a 'total' of 10 strikes while allowing for a 6/4 split BTW Spratt continually smacking the flank is vastly different to hands on neck whipping Dye is also a huge advocate for DQ's So Matt Cameron's outrageous cheating on LICKETYSPLIT when winning the G 1 Sistema would have been rightly DQ'd

Good on you Chief, the more youngun's you can attract the better Maybe Russ Warwick will ask them what floats their boat when he greets them tomorrow And he'll decide "social license is everything" is a load of olde world cobblers?

Oh nooo, those bleedin' Oirishman can talk their way around anything...Joe?

Utter nonsense...I make my living off this industry so why would I want it shut down? So you're ok with over the shoulder,..flank whipping..anything that your olde school money hungry gents want? Why not bring the olde whip with leather flaps on the end back...they used to go just as fast with M.Campbell bashing the shit out of them didn't they?

You'd have to be Magoo to miss Stott's leg extension and his torso corkscrewing to enable extra power for his illegal over the shoulder action The only bit of good news going forward is that Curious and myself embarrassed NZTR into banning whip use on the flank I emailed the previous RIB CEO Mike Clement numerous times pointing out that NZTR had signed up to the International Federation of Horseracing Associations (IFHA) Article 32 which bans flank whipping He finally responding by stating "RIB disagrees with the latest NZTR whip iteration" I asked numerous jockeys on line (mostly Australians) why they profess love of the horse while smacking the shit out of the highly sensitive unprotected flank, mostly with the non padded polymer section Brent 'The Babe' Thompson responded "jockeys should not be striking the flank" Meanwhile the 'money men; like Vlandys said "the whip doesn't hurt" That's the problem, when the 'money's up' money men don't give a shit about the 'love of the horse' And I believe you're one of those

Give up while you're behind

As I say CLULESS is YOU When was the last time you were in the saddle chump? The local mechanical bull...tossed off like a rag doll? New Zealand is the latest stamp in the passport of the French jockey, who rode more than 100 winners in his homeland and has also ridden in Germany, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Singapore. Lerner enjoyed the most successful phase of his career in Singapore, where he rode over 200 winners at Kranji including numerous big-race successes aboard the likes of the Trelawney Stud-bred superstar Lim’s Kosciuszko and his quality Kiwi-bred stablemate Lim’s Saltoro.

My view is you're CLULESS Shied at the upcoming crossing

New NZTR head Russ Warwick "Like it or not, times have changed, social license is highly relevant"

Where, when what? As far as I'm concerned Ulrika can use her whip in any way she wants Hypocrite is me...dont care
