  1. Missed this missive Of course it was a general throw away line albeit with a great deal of substance The 'Dan O'Sullivan' of NZ ratings based form analysis Steph Hunt often talks about 'profiles' Part of his recent analysis was the 'profile' of 3 yo form and where it stands against inferior opposition, namely R 65's and lower That's the basis of 'form analysis' and also life Bart Cummings...you may have heard of him "I keep my horses in the weakest of company and myself in the best of company. It's the best recipe for success that I know."
  2. Often a horse will shorten when it comes to the attention of punters that connections are serious about "going forward" this start A few months back Sweenz told trackside that "Berg told me it was his intention to lead with blinkers on today" This info is required to be notified in Australia but only those watching Trackside were privy it duly went to the front and bolted in
  3. 'The Centaur' has mentioned "injections" before The inference being it's full of fong He goes on to say "the trainer KNOWS it will perform better" really? After a virus Maybe it's trained the house down...just like Blinker applications as per Lance O'Sullivan saying his recent black type winner "trained the house down with blinkers on" Give me that any day over a horse in recovery mode
  4. No, not how to fong them up to the eye balls Or lasix them up so they pee non stop for an hour "an old trainer Bob Baffert said if you put Blinkers on also add the shadow roll and vice versa so i took the tip and it looks as if it worked" Home SKIPPERS CANYON rolled going faster at the post than any time before the race An absolute shallocking of the feeble mid week opposition Derby aspirations?? maybe, but one thing's for sure all the Baffert wannabes will be out in force now It could be some trainers certain 'jen na sais quoi' if they want a touch of class added, not to mention a turbo jet up the back end

  5. I've read about this 'injection' before What's in it and why is it performance enhancing given that veterinary science says it's not? Does the injectee know more about science and are they anti vax/anti fluoride?
  6. Why did you delete my post re Sport's Psychologists for jockeys?
  7. Certainly cost NAVIGATOR 2nd when carelessly allowing GRAIL SEEKER to drift in at the 100M Stott released of 4k from his @15k payday Under the previous rule would have been relegated behind NAVIGATOR with the undeserving SACRED SATONO winning...clearly ridiculous Fining Stott doesn't help the connections of NAVIGATOR though...losing 50K by a nose after dropping 3/4L back when checked then coming again If relegations are allowed when interfering one on one then surely this type of situation requires the connections of the interferee to compensate the horse interfered with? Dock GS's connections 50K obviously Taken to it's logical conclusion, look after the punters and promote NAVIGATOR to 2nd as well It's exactly the same as stewards assessing a one on one relegation
  8. Post LADIES MAN winning, what did he mean when he said "if i could get my life sorted off track I may have got more G1's" Did something happen?? It begs the question, do modern day apprentice schools employ sport's psychologists to ensure young impressionable youth, often struggling with weight issues among other things, have the tools to cope? Billy Pinn mentioned the use a while ago and he appears to have sorted things somewhat Davy Ellis's guidance would surely have included professional use of such?
  9. Never said I was I'm talking about Lichter obviously THE only independent racing media in NZ The rest are ALL in the pocket of the Commies at ENTAIN All editorial content manipulated and controlled by ENTAIN's politburo led by the ex on line Porn King Dean Shannon Now craving a' respectable' career of controlled 'gambling' where he can never lose after banning winners What a f'in disgrace
  10. So 'old mate' NZTR makes their weekly( or is it daily) trip here to find out what f up's have occurred In the Pukekohe debacle they've now changed the 'judge's' manipulated timing/margin from the original "hair line nose" of 0.2L to the ALWAYS nose of 0.1L Small details matter Especially if it's a rigged result and "this matter is now closed" statement they often make to put the media investigators off Which, believe me, won't happen
  11. it was a television shot that 'television' ruled appropriate You're dead against 'CANCEL CULTURE' Hypocrite
  12. When was the last time you allowed FUN on here?
  13. Maybe ENTAIN have instructed NZTR to "never find another DH again" Even forcing 'camera operators to draw two imaginary lines and altering a nose margin to a head's 0.2L Their modus operandi has absolutely zero scruples Having to pay out on DH's with their miserly Ladbrokes attitude is too much to bare?
  14. What imagery? The mind picture painted was the joy of 'bush' racing Kiwi style Do you want a fun free zone however?
  15. As you suggest, it's irrelevant but its indicative of how accuracy/integrity have been allowed to depart the scene
  16. A real shame that the Omakau thoroughbreds are no longer I've been there a few times over the years, on the Sth Is. moonshine tour and the sights of a thoroughbred at full tilt @ a tight circuit brought joy to the heart It's great the harness people are allowed to still bring their hairy pets in too..all harnessed up with a pink lead rope Joyous scenes
  17. Well I noticed a DH posted a few days ago for 4th and the same time So unless it's only placings they cant publish correctly?? That'd be just nuts though As we know they do NUTS extremely well at NZTR Fancy issuing a DH at HQ as a different time and margin to the original DH result just because the protest overturned the same time and margin? Maybe he issued the time/margin from the inaccurately positioned inside camera? it's gibberish and they love it
  18. Note the end of the red line doesn't mark up to the middle of camera If it was Ruakaka they'd be f'ed
  19. it was in yesterdays report under 'General' stuff 4 horses in a blanket finish with #1 6th Sometimes that red line is also inaccurate when adjusting the running rail Mentioned it to Mark Davo a number of times and which also confused the riders using the supposed 100M mark
  20. A change was what David Archer was wanting after the Puke debacle ALL sign offs to be checked by stewards before correct weight At Puke the distance from stipes to the judges box is too great and obviously "counter-signing" was a load of b/s Signed AFTER the official 'judge's' placings had already been approved for pay out Unless they looked at it but didn't check the bogus lines the 'Judge' had ordered the cam operator to draw up Also signed the official margin of 0.2L which is THE biggest lie of the whole debacle
  21. Now this Kurow Jockey Club at Kurow, Monday 30 December 2024 Race 10 COUPLAND WORKING DOG BISCUITS 1400m After concerns were raised, Stewards opened an inquiry into the judge’s official placings in this race, with the matter to be heard at a later date. Seriously, wtf is going on? Zero comment in todays HQ report wrt to the 'follow up" after the inside camera was incorrectly positioned Stakeholders have to put up with this TOTAL lack of transparency with Oatham and his band hiding behind their shades Hopeless
  22. The 'Judge' is employed by RIB As good as the ubiquitous John Oatham is...he cant be expected to check all facets of what his staff are required to carry out It's a given a 'Judge' would check camera alignments..if not give them the DCM Do you check if your cleaning wallah has tooth brushed the grouting in your shower given you're as blind as a bat?
  23. Wrong in this instance RIB requested the CLUB "follow up" on their employee 'the camera operator' and the reason why he didn't check the inside camera for accuracy RIB's employee should also be asked is he on speaking terms with the camera guy after the massive argument they had a month ago at Puke It's very simple How long has this cock up being going on ffs?? So many questions...why did the judge' go to the inside camera..all the while live on trackside..which they admitted was a mistake After observing the clear margin on the other camera?? It's truly shocking...especially after the Puke cock up
  24. Do us all a favour Ring the ATR number I gave you Ask the pertinent ?? but don't be impertinent Thanks
  25. Let's hope in this "follow up" they'll sort out if the 'Camera Operator' (employed by the club) and the 'Judge'(employed by RIB) actually talk to each other?? "Hey cam guy, have you got the angle right for the inside cam today"? "Hey 'Judge' guy, are you allowed to override my timing to 1000th/s of a sec. and make up a time to suit your 'ideas' of a nose when my time said there wasn't a 1000th of a sec. separating the 2 at Puke...oh and then change the nose margin to 0.2L when a "hairline" nose is only 0.1L"?? simple questions like that
