  1. As I said reefer....only wish her and connections the best of success... Never ever said she was sent to Stud to get a "turbo boost" however... It's entirely to do with the BELIEF from connections of Mares that they'll get a boost from the pregnant hormone.. once in foal... ...and your Bro appears to believe that... ...which has very clearly been proven wrong from the analysis FYI when she was first served in December 17, very strange date to be serving a Maiden Mare to be fair, her performances increased from her previous form...as per the 'mental change' I talked about 2 G1 2nds to Kawi and Devise...then to Australia for 4 th in the Ranvet...
  2. Gina Schick runs a very reputable re-homing system out of Cambridge but there's not a lot else going on by the looks.... NZTR A thoroughbred should be provided a good life, with the care and conditions that will allow the horse to thrive and perform to its natural abilities, with minimal discomfort and an absence of suffering.” Responsible re-homing of thoroughbreds is an important issue for racing internationally. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing is committed to ensuring that as many of our horses as possible are retrained and re-homed for second careers as sport or pleasure horses. This includes horses that are bred but not deemed competitive early or late in their expected racing career, as well as retired thoroughbreds. Welfare concerns may arise where: Owners do not have sufficient financial resources, facilities, or knowledge to properly care for horses that do not progress to, or are retired from racing or breeding Horses are engaged in post racing activities for which they are not physically suited due to pre-existing injuries or inherent capabilities Uncompetitive horses become neglected or are thoughtlessly given away to unsuitable new owners. NZTR attends the International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses (IFAR), which aims to promote retraining racehorses. We’ve also partnered with various groups to promote the versatility of thoroughbreds. NZTR and Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) launched a joint initiative in 2014 called Thoroughbreds in Equestrian Sport (TiES), aimed at increasing opportunities for second careers for thoroughbred horses retiring from racing. TiES holds annual national competitions offering prizes to the most successful thoroughbred in the following equestrian sports categories: Show jumping and show hunter Eventing Dressage. A similar initiative is NZTR’s association with the NZ Show Horse Council and sponsorship of the Off the Track Show Horse series. NZTR also sponsors Beyond the Barriers which is a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to educate people regards the care of retired thoroughbred, retrained as a pleasure or sporthorse. As at late 2017 NZTR does not have sufficiently robust data to trace our thoroughbred population in a comprehensive manner or to confirm the numbers of horses that are successfully re-homed at the end of their racing careers. Through 2018, NZTR will conduct a range of initiatives that aim to resolve this shortcoming. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing will: Amend the Rules of Racing to create a duty of care for retiring and rehoming thoroughbreds Consult with reputable re-homing operators and relevant sector groups and agencies to develop a plan to support re-homing operators Providing supporting material for the people who receive the retrained thoroughbreds covering feeding, grooming and all round care of thoroughbreds Provide support for initiatives that showcase the versatility of thoroughbreds, including TiES and the Off the Track Show Horse Series Support objective research that identifies why horses do not start racing, or leave racing and breeding Support objective research that identifies the activities that retrained horses participate in.
  3. CEO Statement in response to ABC 7.30 Racing Victoria Staff@RacingInsider 8:36am , ( Racing Victoria Chief Executive, Giles Thompson, has issued the following statement in response to last night’s episode of ABC’s 7.30 program which centred on the Australian thoroughbred and harness racing industries: “We are sickened by the horrific images that we saw on ABC 7.30 Report last night, particularly the inhumane treatment of horses at the Queensland abattoir. Abattoirs and knackeries are regulated by State Governments and we expect those authorities to ensure animal welfare standards are maintained and compliance is strictly enforced. We expect anyone breaching those laws to be prosecuted. “Equine welfare is a non-negotiable for the Australian racing industry and the goal of ensuring a home for every healthy thoroughbred as it exits the racing industry must remain a priority for all. Through our Off The Track program we are working to create a demand for the thoroughbred and promoting a network of 50 retrainers to support the rehoming efforts of owners and trainers. “While the racing industry is able to enforce strict rules and demand the highest standards of treatment for horses during their racing career, once a horse is retired from racing it leaves our jurisdiction and the scope of the national rules of racing. “This is of course a matter of national concern and not just restricted to thoroughbreds. We have been calling for a better system to track the movement of horses once they have left the racing industry and are urging the Federal Government’s Senate Standing Committee to expedite its deliberations and pave the way for the urgent introduction of a National Horse Traceability Register. “In the meantime, we will be prioritising the activities detailed in our three-year equine welfare strategic plan released this year including an audit of Victorian horses that have not raced in the past 18 months but are not listed as retired with Racing Australia. “Further, it is clear that national compliance with the industry’s system of data collection relating to the retirement of horses is not working as it should. We will also be working with Racing Australia, our owners and trainers, and other State racing authorities to rectify this.”
  4. Soz for being a tad esoteric reefer... Alors...the intention of the Teaser pony example was to show how a physical experience such as mating can produce a marked behavioural change.. ...obviously this worked in C's case with her excellent form after getting rodgered 2 years ago... Sooooo.... Sharrock's Mare should have been reported, as required, so Punters can DOWNGRADE her chances as per the new study... ...NB...being rodgered can have a positive affect...in Foal a negative..savvy? Lets hope C has the reverse affect because being up the duff certainly settles some Mares allowing a previous highly strung maniacal half wit...to become a deadset normal race horse...

  6. Oh that degree... Let me tell you there was general mass mirth around the sales yards when he walked the aisles...when we showed him around...it's sort of carried over into 'hospo' with bizarre behaviours being displayed in the Media... Back to neddys though and their hormones... WRT Maiden Mares and their first venture into making love... One of moi's first jobs was as head teaser operator...to prepare a maiden for her first service we'd slap the wee fella on...and off..on again...his wee fella getting close but not close enough...poor Welsh sod.... ...sometimes when our 3rd stand by Welsh pony became soured at the end of the season... ...I'd have to resort to pinching the Fillies flanks myself with said soured pony...head bowed...alongside the masterful lover...Moi But let me tell you where this leads...the change in attitude of a Maiden Mare after all of this hanky lanky and the service by the Stud...was remarkable Hence I told Ross Neal Punters need to know when a service date had been actioned...and today's rule mirrors that...thanks Mr. Neal ..although ignorami like Big Red simply ignores the rule...hence his Mare went unreported on Saturday...let's hope he gets fined ..anyway...I digest Tell Stick the only kick back he may have got was in the first 2 weeks before the hormones kicked in... ...Thats now gone...and the slow hormones of 40 days plus appeared to have slowed things a bit...and you only need a bit in town hall company.. ...best anyway
  7. Au contrary mon amie... You brought up the hoary old chestnut of Blow Up Dolls first.. ...besides mine ain't even hairy...mores the pity... ...Imbecilic activity you do best though ..ignoring best performances due to your inability to either compensate for unlucky, wide without cover et el....is as stupid as our Chief Handicapper ignoring such performances and docking points... ...which he does...You deserve each other
  8. This is my new fav! And the wee fella on top is to die for....look at the concentration and sheer bravery of the man...not to mention the back...as straight as John Wayne's.... ..last of the straightbacks
  9. That opportunity has gonnnne now wrt WHIP Stupidly NZTR simply copied the Australian rule last week and there's no way in hell it'll change again for another 3/4 years at least... Massive opportunity lost...especially with this ABC program about to hit our shores...
  10. If reports out of Australia tonight wrt ABC7.30 program on Thoroughbred abbitoirs are anything to go by the shit is about to hit the fan! And we'll cop the backwash too NZTR better have all of their t's crossed and prepared for the media here... a sample of tweets... It was horrific. What about the sickos that worked at the abattoir’s, the way they kicked, jabbed, abused and screamed at these beautiful creatures. TV HOST JO MCcKINNON Tonight’s @abc730 expose on Australian racing and the slaughter of thoroughbreds including high profile racehorses and well known stallions and broodmares is the single most horrific thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It is real, factual and disturbing to the core. Vlandys “We have to rely on the information being given to us,” V’landys told the program. “We don’t have the resources to go to every horse in NSW to see if it’s alive or if it has passed away. “We will investigate, and if it's happening we will put the full force of the law against them because they're breaking the rules of racing.” Footage was shown during the program of horses being sold at a livestock sale at Camden. An undercover reporter asked a truck driver who was loading horses on his rig, “where are these going” before the person replied “Cootamundra” but the truck was followed to the Luddenham Pet Meat knackery. ABC investigative journalist Caro Meldrum-Hanna said she has seen firsthand, “proof of multiple racehorses ending up at Luddenham pet meat after the knackery ban came into force”. “We will be reviewing the program and investigating the accusations,” V’landys said last night. “We did contact 730 today (Thursday) to correct some of the inaccuracies but we didn’t get a return call. “If people are doing the wrong thing we will prosecute them.” The program also highlighted the Meramist abattoir in Queensland and Burns Pet Foods at Riverstone.
  11. Cheers! If only I'd known she was going to switch the back part of the dress to the front..I'd have gone! Shes on The Project tonight...or was that last night?
  12. Oh and I forgot the bleedin' obvious one....stupid moi... ..."I can't quantify unlucky runs therefore I make no adjustments to timing of said races" YOU....not moi Because I CAN quantify such...Just by opening moi's eyes! Wtf knew that's how it's done??
  13. Nice shot of the CD girls...and good to see Allpress doing her bit for RFTD too... Delighted to see that the Michelle Payne story has been made into a movie, Allpress has also taken the opportunity to use the inspirational tale to raise funds for a charitable cause that is close to her heart. "I do a bit of volunteer work for the Wanganui branch of the Riding for the Disabled as I really love helping them out and going there and seeing the kids," she said. "I was lucky enough to get to see an advanced screening of Ride Like A Girl and I really really loved it. "After seeing it the idea came up to see if we could get it for Wanganui and we have managed to do that. "We've booked out the movie theatre on the 31st of October and we're going to be using it as a fundraiser with auction items. "We can raise money for Riding for the Disabled and give people the chance to participate in such an inspirational story, which I think is just fantastic."
  14. Even you know the liquidity on NZ Betfear is just enough to buy fairy dust for your wild imagination.... ....and given that you have no idea about things like Whanga bias or the intellectual capacity to identify a 'course specialist'... ..then I'm betting the left that you've got your hand perpetually on a tight grip...
  15. Even Meechelle came over from the land of Pestilence and Criminal DNA... ...thank da Gods she's got Keewee blood coursing through her veins then! But damn...she's looking mighty fine at last night's Premier here!
  16. I only wish the best for you and the Mare reefer... Moi's point was the wee fella was spruiking up the excitement factor to levels not even he's ever reached.... ...I wanted to warn him that the oft repeated narrative with up da duff Mares was that it's a fools belief... ...while keen in the lead...the go slow preggers hormones appeared to click in... ...I hope I'm Wong...but I've never ever been before...
  17. Great news..apart from getting rid of these extremely poor betting races... ...next best...is the fact from next season they'll be required to retain hold of the reins while using the Whip...nothing behind the ass then ...besides the fact of their horrendous violations this year...the fact that lack of experience in these races does not get one an allowance.... ...they'll all be slapping down the shoulder.. or pushing out like Frankie does.... ...best outcome without getting rid
  18. Seriously....just how stupid do you think your 'followers' are? Professional Betfear on NZ Racing uh? So you get enough to buy the Doughboys for morning tea down at the Whakachunga Fly Fishing wid Bazz? onya
  19. You've shown no winning confirmation here as I've done.... At least VC has shown up and now realises he's been sprung ...maybe he'll be able to confirm he's Dan? Az for STUPID...that's looking for value on the Whanga rail...when it's off Not even the most stupid Punter who does stupendously stupid like Bazz and You...'invests' on anything drawing the rail there Keep posting those thumbnails after the races though...its uproariously funny
  20. He's got a Board made up from the Codes and RITA...kopia ...but I'm picking they don't have any idea whatsoever of his day to day f ups and the poor public perception... ...at least the INTEGRITY function of THOROUGHBREDS looks like it'll be heading back to where it belongs though... ...and not with the Dogs...who just give us fleas
  21. But many of these owners think they'll get a kick out of the go fast hormones fred? ...mainly Stud farms who love dealing in hormones... CONSENSUS battled away ok once headed...but it looks as if the go slow pregnant hormones are starting to kick in...40 plus days isn't she?...and she's heading to the losing % block for up the duff Mares ...good luck racing with losing hormones then..
  22. Let's be fair though Kev... ...he's a Harness man who hasn't any idea about Thoroughbreds and that's why he didn't bother reading the new Whip rule before telling us how it works? Yesterday Earily took a big sigh..."ok let's get this sorted Mick" So Mick got it sorted "yes Pete...5 strikes before the 100M mark" Oh my...no mention of the fact they can't be consecutive strides... This from the man who said we had " a far better rule than Australia" before we changed to their rule #noidea
  23. And that's why you and Bazz can never win here...'investing' on the Whanganui rail when it's off is THE most stupid thing that you and Bazz have promoted...and there's been some doozies ..yet they're still "beauties"? Its nearly as stupid as Bazz 'investigating' place betting as an option when he was getting a run of 50 placings... ...and you were tolerating this nonsense thinking he's another mug you can take advantage of... Now take your potty mouth...and be off with you
  24. It has nothing to with your response...maybe he really is Dan O'Sullivan though..would that be funny? Ive never plagiarised in my life actually...I may have posted articles on various topics but clearly these would have been attributable.... Now...back in your hole...where free speech and challenging your nonsense isn't allowed... "if the rail's off at WANGANUI I'll be backing the rail" "I can't judge whether a neddy is a track specialist...in case a neddy who hasn't raced there likes it as well" Those gems...directly... non plagerised from you
