Exactly... Here's Noel Harris's take on the extreme tightening "Denby’s mount has stepped out in the straight taking the line of Kavish Chowdhoory. Kavish has continued to ride his mount aggressively to “hold his line.” Although Kavish was entitled to be where he was in the running, with experience you learn to evaluate the risk involved in making these decisions and ease the pressure. Had Kavish eased his mount and not continued to push forward, the outcome would have been different." Oatham said Kavish was entitled to ride forward as easing and pulling back would have put him in a dangerous position What turned out far more dangerous and put his fellow riders at risk then? In his last CR charge the adjudicative panel commented the video evidence clearly showed that Mr Chowdhoory moved inwards when only one horse-length clear of SHEZAHAPPYONE, falling short of the required two-length clearance. Ms Lindsay’s vigorous calling and the fact that she was checked for several strides, further emphasise the severity of the interference. Mr Chowdhoory’s riding record is considered an aggravating factor. The Adjudicative Committee notes a concerning pattern of Mr Chowdhoory not exercising due care during races, which is essential for the safety of both horses and Riders. Still doing it! How long until it sinks in to 'take due care of fellow riders'?

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/coroner-closes-case-of-promising-young-jockey-killed-in-horror-race-crash/DK7OI3WALZBT5DDTE7PUZ2LKXU/ Quite surprising this. The expert evidence of the likes of David Walsh and Kim Clapperton was very damning on certain aspects of so called 'normal' riding standards. "riding without due care for other riders" stuck out for one. This comes under the guise of 'competitive riding' and the accepted practise of making room for oneself aka as riding into other horses Highly dangerous to both horse/jockey imho

Does it there as well March 2023 Jockey Opie Bosson might have won a Group 1 on Friday night — but what the hell was he thinking? The same goes for Nash Rawiller. Have both of these world-class jockeys been hiding under a rock for the past three weeks? There were two separate and dangerous incidents Bosson and Rawiller were responsible for in the Group 1 William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley on Friday night. Both jockeys have been rightfully suspended for 11 and 12 meetings respectively. Both incidents could have easily caused two falls; they were just lucky that didn't happen. Under the circumstances, Bosson and Rawiller should have been rubbed out for longer. Given what's happened in Victoria over the past three weeks — separate falls leaving Jamie Kah, Craig Williams, Ethan Brown and Teo Nugent with serious injuries — one would have thought our jockeys would play by the rules. Opie and Nash — perhaps ironically — aren't Victorian-based jockeys. Whoever in Victoria is dealing with these jockeys before they ride needs to read them the riot act. It's a simple message: "Your white line fever could cost someone's life." The same message needs to be sent to jockeys right around Australia. Racing Victoria CEO Andrew Jones is the boss of racing in Victoria. Brian Kruger is the chairman. Both of them need to make a stand on this issue. Not tomorrow. Today. If they don't, Jones and Kruger are in the wrong jobs. Strong leadership, not only from Victoria but from all racing bodies around Australia, will save lives. Right now, money and glory in racing doesn't matter. Human lives are far more important.

His namesakes race of course Watch the overhead on Whey In to see his deliberate move into Hudson

Archer's too tight to pay Lichter a brass razoo Before the Kremiln's ENTAIN took over Guerin was pretty much rooting for the punter Now he's got his own show all he does is mouth the Communist ENTAIN narrative of what's good for the Dictator is good for him... and stuff the proletariat

Open your eyes Magoo He'd ALREADY ducked in 2 widths BEFORE he started his bashathon Weirdly racing follows the law of totality let off with the 2nd interference because the 'law' is an ass And you know ass when you choose to see it

Just a big nod here to both De Lore and Lichter, THE only racing journos not in the pocket of the Commie Kremlin lovers ENTAIN Has ANY ENTAIN 'journo' mentioned the total lack of RIB action over this debacle?? Not on your nelly

it was his last CR charge BEFORE he had his contract terminated Te Akau tolerating a contracted employee "without remorse or contrition" in a highly dangerous occupation is an extremely bad look

Did she purposely steer (aka 'competitive riding' aka 'highly dangerous to both horse/jockeys') her mount into Willo as Opee has? Yea na This CR nonsense is ingrained into the Kiwi jockey narrative and contributed to the deaths of 2 Kiwi jockeys last year Have you read the damning evidence of David Walsh and Kim Clapperton and the "lack of due care to fellow jockeys" in the death of Megan Taylor?

'Lifestyle'= style of life Many employment contracts include 'morality' clauses An organisation like TA work hard to maintain high standards and someone under contract acts in a manner contrary to those high standards For example many organisations include forbidding work place relationships as part of a 'morality' clause Bosson's latest wrap sheet for carelessness said "Mr Bosson’s record is troubling for a senior, very experienced and prominent Rider. It has to be taken into account also, as aggravating. He did not contend, or seek, any discount for admitting the breach and in any event, none would have been granted, as any defence would have been futile, and he did not express any remorse or contrition" In knocking out the chances of 2 horses he showed reckless disregard for his fellow riders TA shouldn't have to put up with that nonsense..and they didn't

Take a wild guess iron stain

Can't you read? "contract ended" Coded SACKED When one CANT hold up their end...one gets SACKED from the other end Couldn't be relied on when required NOT when available on his terms Your "change in his contract" on his NO contract is extinct Like the dead parrot Squawk on though

Guerin "But this time it got so serious, his role as retained jockey for Te Akau ended, with a business of that size needing jockeys when they require them, not when they are available. So, Bosson is technically freelance for the first time in years" Nothing to do with weight... everything to do with 'lifestyle' and whims/whams

So Rodders gets a call up to Whey In and proceeds to milk Bosson/McNab for all they're worth "Opie bullied Hudson...she's been exposed 3 wide...Opee an absolutely perfect ride" Gee...anyone know who manages Bosson/McNab by any chance?

So will the 'INTEGRITY' unit FINALLY do their job today and put to rest the so called 'judges' idea that it's ok to change the official time to suit his crazy final 'judgement'?? Maybe George, Brady, time keeper guy, other stipe guy et el are all wrong and as John Oatham says "Craig has super duper contrast tech" Yea na Timing to 1000th/sec beats a human eye EVERY time TRANSPARENCY John Oatham

Interesting So nothing about 'not allowing a scratching after the track has deteriorated due to punters winning more than they should' rule then? I wonder if one of the "regulations" is 'dont force the time keeper to draw 2 lines down a page while his arm is twisted at right angles'? Or 'dont change the official time to a made up one that makes one's 'placings' look about right'

As long as trainers are running horses on their merits it has absolutely nothing to do with the RIB Has the Kremlin inspired ENTAIN banned any talk about integrity/f ups/ on their biased media? #absofinlutely

#nodeductions

What's alarming is the apparent cosyness of the RIB and Entain after the RIB told them to stop 'deductions' What business has an integrity unit in managing the financials of an international gambling conglomerate? Did Entain inform the RIB to "brush it under the carpet John, it's a bad look for the industry/punters" Entain are not only managing the 'media narrative' but it appears they've got the RIB by the short and curlys as well??

I guess it's about 'branding' in the end Does brand ALL BLACK want drunken wingers smashing into garages damaging the 'brand' as well as the garage...sending the owner into a mental meltdown?? Would brand Te Akau choose staff with good family values to align with their 'clean' professional image rather than 'tother'? Will BGP keep chanting their hero's name on Karaka night for example, knowing their 'women' members are few and far between?

A very pointed comment from Guerin last week "I've heard Bosson could be more open to other rides from other stables in future" Coded 'SACKED' Afterall THE Premier stable contracting someone that doesn't align to their beliefs perhaps? You know the rest I'm betting the final 2 G1's to the hundy will NOT be on a TA trained horse

So the big "investigation" into judge John Craig's Pukekohe photo finish frame up amounts to... WHAT?? More like WTF is it RIB?? How can a Barry Lichter expose, with damning interviews, amount to ZERO comment post Oatham's advised "I'm going to talk to John Craig" It's an extraordinary FAIL of the basIc INTEGRITY FUNCTION of TRANSPARENCY New boy CEO RIB Dr. Eliot Forbes (sacked from Queensland) has been caught with his pants around his ankles though.. trying to hide the industry's blushes COP the f on Eliot, do your job, ignore Oatham's limp wristed response and show some f'in leadership ffs make a PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

What on earth are you talking about? What stat where and by who? I can produce the actual research that shows a DECREASE if you insist on being keel hauled? Simply, punters deserve to know about ANYTHING that improves, decreases chances In season for example The rule is "notify stewards of ANYTHING that could affect performance" Not toe clips though Remember Larney getting in trouble for not reporting a skin rash for his horse racing in the Livermol? Anyway this is about John Craig and his former team mate, the time keeper, and their spat And the INTEGRITY around Craig insisting the time keeper draw a line down his pik Then whoever altered the actual time to the 'official' wrong time Don't worry, Oatham will be all over this at HQ on Saturday and the new kid on the block, CEO Dr. Eliot Forbes will be reproducing his report on the RIB website cum Monday #yeamaybena

Below is some guide and it's similar to the 3yo SWP's...used to be an 18 month cut off, maybe still is Cant find the "standard regulations' anymore and they used to publish an actual handicapping booklet! So winner of a G1 within 18 months 3 kgs...18m months and 1 day ZERO kgs It's a balmy system for sure "Set Weight and Penalty (SWP) Races The weights for SWP races are determined by a system of fixed penalties for winning performances. These penalties are set out in the Standard Regulations Clubs may run a race with different SWP conditions, and such races will be advertised in the Racing Programme Guide. d. Set Weight and Penalty and Set Weight 2YO and 3YO Races For all Non Group and Listed Set Weight and Penalty races, the weights will be 57.0kg for Colts and Geldings and 55.0kg for Fillies. Penalties: Winner of a Group 1 3.0kg Winner of a Group 2 2.0kg Winner of a Group 3 and / or three or more races 1.5kg Winner of a Listed and / or winner of two races 1.0kg Maiden weight allowance 1.0kg Penalties not cumulative
