  1. And what you have to remember Freddy is that 10-20% of testing in Group A jurisdictions is OUT OF COMPETITION testing. Ours could be 0% of sfa I'm betting. Have you heard of any??

  10. That makes sense but we ALWAYS follow what Oz does and Bernharrrrrrd's an Oz and a follower!!
  11. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Thats the system were in. Theres very good stats that prove Racing 'out of the handicap' horses then continue to race well in the higher grade. And of course the beauty of treating all horses as 4yo Colts. Mares get to progress through to the next grade more easily and transparently.
  12. So while we're tolerating this and allowing Parkes to LEGALLY use his whip 33 times while winning by a snoz. the USA are about to ban them totally. The Jockey Club concluded its 67th Annual Round Table Sunday in Saratoga, NY by recommending the American Thoroughbred industry unite on several measures from banning the use of the whip “for encouragement” to uniting on the drug policies in American racehorses and bringing interference rules in racing in compliance with worldwide practices. The Round Table is available in its entirety here. James L. Gagliano, The Jockey Club president and chief operating officer stressed the need for uniting on consistent policies “if (Thoroughbred industry) stakeholders wish for it to be successful.” The Jockey Club is the official breed registry for North American Thoroughbreds and serves as a strong advisory board for the Thoroughbred industry in the United States, which is officially governed by regulatory authorities in the 38 states that sponsor Thoroughbred racing. Most notable was the Club’s outright endorsement of banning the use of the whip, sometimes called a crop, during races. Chairman Stuart Janney III announced the recommendation, which was made by the Club’s Thoroughbred Safety Committee, which also included penalty guidelines for breach of the ban. The call for the ban was immediately endorsed by Marty Irby, executive director at Animal Wellness Action, a Washington-based animal advocacy group established for “helping animals by promoting legal standards forbidding cruelty.” “The use of a whip to force horses to run faster is archaic and should be eliminated on a global scale,” said Irby in response to the Club’s endorsement. While use of the whip currently is unrestricted in U.S. racing, its use is regulated, usually by the number of allowable strokes, in most racing jurisdictions worldwide. Janney offered support for the ban with polling data from research commissioned by the Club. “Consumer research conducted earlier this year indicated that making penalties stricter for violation of rules regarding use of the riding crop received the most support among current and potential fans,” Janney remarked. “No horse or rider will be disadvantaged by the rules, and we will still have fair winners.”
  13. Your analogies are about as off the planet as your moniker .
  14. Fair dinkum. get a grip man. FYI I'm not " a tosser revelling in his misfortune" I merely posted the stated facts of the case. In which MCKee admitted he hadn't ever seen her ride . . . . SLB may know more but until then it's pretty obvious that's a pretty good reason why they charged him and he accepted the stated contention. That it was an unsafe practice
  15. Maybe you should stay out of this highly charged case..but if you insist you should be declaring McKee is your trainer. Im dealing in the facts as presented and accepted by MCKee. Quite clearly I've never assassinated his character. Heres the facts "Experts consulted by WorkSafe found Malthus was not competent to have been put in charge of a racehorse at the Alfriston training track in July 2016, having been given no formal training, being not riding fit and having only ridden quiet horses and never at a gallop. ..her formal riding before the incident involved eight, half-hour private lessons paid for by her parents at a Palmerston North facility involving quiet, older horses in a different environment. WorkSafe said the trainer thought the horse he had given Malthus that morning was "ideal" although he had not seen her ride, assuming her private lessons had been sufficient." So no formal training on a galloping race horse, not riding fit.. ..and he'd NEVER seen her ride Obviously its a tragic lesson learnt.. Trainers will now be double checking new employees CV's and ringing previous Employers.as is done in any other Industry/Company to check Bona Fides. ..which in turn will strongly indemnify any Trainer from future H & S inquiries I would have thought.
  16. If that's the case then 2 points.. ...why did Stephen not inform them of that. ..or perhaps he didn't want to fight the case in deference to the injured rider??
  17. Let's celebrate #worldphotographyday with an oldy....but a.. ...goody....
  18. Let's get this topic back on track... .after you changed the thread...again Have you emailed BHA yet.detailing how 1kg = 0.1L .... ...and how strike rate is a failed metric??
  19. Good on you Jasper...Every punter has their own niche where they feel comfortable. The problem with some is that they believe there's only ONE way. ..or it's the highway. When I posted the 2 Hundy into 10 k I was told I had one lucky day."........and that place bets as part of a multi.is ridiculous. .even though a simple $2 shot doubles your return.who knew? Not them And the The Masterclass was again just luck which had nothing to do with finding superior form back to inferior mid week class. Of course that's the entire purpose right there.identifying superior horses by actual form analysis.while allowing for unlucky, wide without cover, track conditions et el Some so called 'analysts' won't allow for a 0.35 seconds deficit for 'wide without cover' or being clearly unlucky. .they just ignore "the last 3 starts" no matter what INCREDIBLE GROSS IGNORANCE right there Then Unbelievably, some think VALUE means ignoring a severe H 11Whanganui rails bias..and 'investing' on the rails neddys... ..due to the fact it's best to do the opposite! I know, you're on the floor LYAO! Ive read some b/s in my time but that takes the cake.
  20. Well the HK pros I know of certainly don't/didnt .but this is about educating the masses.so please feel free to post your last successful foray into 9/10 'investments' .and maybe you could post the evidence.as indeed moi did when turning 2 Hundy into 10k on a lazy Friday. thanks
