  1. Any Racing Industry has to have a base Integrity cost... To then have 2 extra panel members from the JCA hearing basic shit like 'fist pumping' or knock down interference that blind Fweedy Stipe ex Jockey can see is wanton waste of Industry money... We can't afford the Bludging 'reletive' terms...ok??
  2. So where have the Geldings gone if they're SO uncompetitive now then? Australia...where they have exactly the same RBH system? The problem stakeholders fail to grasp is that if 'Geldings' as a group are so badly off, they'll then drop in ratings when racing against a Mare so 'dramatically' better off...as they progress through each Band...if indeed that's a 'thing' ..each performance is assessed on an ALL IN Male basis...at face value Try reading this again,.. "An interesting fact contained within the statistics is the anomaly in the ratio between the male and female sexes as the quality of races increase. If there are a significant number of colts being sold on and thus reducing the overall pool of that sex, then why are the females not dominating the horse pool number wise at all levels of competition? This can only suggest that the fillies and mares are not competitive under the current structure or there are lack of programming options that ensure connections can see reason for keeping there fillies and mares in training." Again if you want to go back to your 'Pure Handicapping'... ...a 'Phar Lap' type performance from a maiden Gelding will see that horse go straight to Open Class....and I suggest straight overseas without racing here again Is that what you want?
  3. Deadly... Many moons ago...When I was head leader at the old Trentham sales...... ..the usual root would be a general loop around the sales complex avoiding any loose az yearlings...especially from those hopeless horsemen at Cambridge Stud...who failed to hold on..even after an entire boring night...asleep alors...we'd usually had 3 Depth Charges ( a jug of beer with a whiskey shooter in the base of said jug) before we arrived...with 2 hours sleep... Our neddys were so well trained that one day after stopping for a barf against the Cambridge Stud entertainment tent...the alternate root...My Filly felt so sorry for the food poisoning I was experiencing... ...that she stuck her near fore over my near shoulder as a nod to the compassion she was feeling while moi was barfing ...now that's what you call an in control horse in what could have been an out of control situation...
  4. This bares no comparison to the statement that our best Colts are exported...with the odd Filly.... All sexes get injured....who knew?
  5. Ive been banging on about getting rid of those Cloth Head covered wannabees at the JCA for honks koppa... Its a 'Rolls Royce' system for an East German, or was it Russian, Trabant fume spitter... Let's face it..Ex Jock Matty Willy knows a knock down Jock tactic when he sees one...he dont need a Cloth Head wannabe High Court Judge to agree ffs... ...although it took him sometime to recognise a real time cramp when that crooked az David Walker pulled one out... The JCA is a complete waste of money...you know it ...we've got it ass about face..dish out the basic Interference, hand salute fine, diuretic imbibing on a day to day basis...easy az... And if the wee f'ers ain't happy after that... ..give them an opportunity to Appeal to a Higher Being...just like Oz Then and only then can they cry off to their Mammys...who might listen to them
  6. Muz doth jest doesn't he slb? Methinks he could be Emms partner?? So I can feel his pain...skinny blonde male jockeys are being over taken by not only WOMEN but light az Asian boys...
  7. Soz I didn't get back to you last night... Me and mine have been doing cross fit sets all night at a secret West Coast Beach...talk about march...exhausted az WRT Farr...jocks can never be too complacent when it comes to retaining the perfect seat...especially Jumps Jocks... ...Handbreak has an exemplary pedigree in the Jumps sphere...his Dad, Bro and son have all been Jumps Jocks... The Hazza would be the person to turn to re-check if the 'seat' is all tickety boo being the riding master with access to the fake horse Emms has to ask herself..."why am I topping the table for falls this year" BTW...always use the space button after a comma and double click after a full stop...it makes reading smack talk easier...best
  8. Is the standard the same as Jockeys pissed in charge Freddy/Freda/Fred? You could say....Jockey in charge 2 stubbies...fine... Trainer 5 Stubbies and a chaser...should be fine to lead around a neddy on a short lead without tripping...surely?
  9. A few glitches from time to time but overall they're doing ok trying to connect with the Generation Zorbs of social media Kate Gordie's behind it...the ex TVNZ Journo who got the DCM for plagerism... ..but hey..we take anyone with a past in the Racing Industry... The Track Manager Videos are part of their Comedy section too...hilarious stuff
  10. Says a website owner who gets confused reading race results v an actual Handicapper with GRAVITAS in the game How did the bedtime reading go last night? Did you take into account the fact our blue blood boys get shipped...and smart operators like Davo realised this... ...and simply go out and buy superior speedy Aussie breds? Remembering our system should stay true to 'Pure' World Handicapping and refuse to accept we're special needs with special rules...if indeed you believe Females are dicking the poor Males...which they're not
  11. So do Trainers get drug tested as well Freda? Drunk in charge of a neddy could have safety questions...but a Stoner would be a whole lot calmer around a flighty Filly and could in fact settle her? Good horsemanship right there... What about a Trainer showing up with headphones like the AB's do... ...with dance party music going...like some Harness Trainers do in CHCH...who are also into supply and demand as a 2nd job... Should they immediately be under suspicion for MDMA imbibing... ...or is that Profiling and against the Geneva Convention?
  12. A bit of both by the looks Freda... "Mr Oatham had Stipendiary Steward, Mr J M McLaughlin, show video replays of the last 600 metres of the race. He pointed out ROCK ISLAND LINE, ridden by Mr Hong, racing in last position in the 13-horse field, being drawn wide by Mr Hong as the field entered the final straight. He then showed Mr Hong commence using his whip shortly thereafter. Mr McLaughlin said that the Committee needed to look at Mr Hong’s use of the whip “in totality” for the length of the straight. Mr Hong had passed one other runner approaching the 200 metres. He continued to use his whip until inside the 100 metres. There was an early five-stride respite, Mr McLaughlin said, but the horse was not making ground. Inside the 200 metres, Mr Hong continued using his whip “well over five times”, and has passed only three other runners, he said. Stewards estimated that Mr Hong had used his whip approximately 30 times in the final straight, Mr McLaughlin said. Mr Oatham said that Stewards were concerned with the totality of Mr Hong’s whip use – close to 30 times in the final straight, he submitted – on a horse that had only struggled to pass three horses that were being eased down. There was only one break for the full five strides in the home straight, Mr Oatham alleged, and the whip action was so “quickfire” that it was giving the horse no chance to respond to it." So BB Gun still broke the 5 stride on/off rule
  13. I've counted @ 8 times she's eaten mud this jumps season... Yesterdays was definitely a shocker..a slight inward movement from the horse or slip and she gets Shang highed... ..appears to be riding a couple of clicks too high.. ..remembering woman have far bigger thighs and shorter pins...and perhaps her point of balance needs correcting with NGH mentoring her on the fake horse??
  14. Go away... You're simply making wild claims of a non factual assumptive basis... ....and then your fellow agent provocateur thinks reducing the allowance back by 0.5 kgs will make 0.05/8 ths of f all of a length difference cop on
  15. WHat...and sing khum by arrrrrg Weas..hand in hand.... Pshyc 101? Any 'Management/Board' who came up with the original were either pissed or handed a bunch of folding from NZ Bloodstock to hype up their event... They deserved any serve they got....fancy counting a Restricted Listed race to last place and ignoring a G 2 placing ...and expecting a "well done chumps" after realising they f'd up the most prestigious race in NZ... ...and then not knowing their Employees f'd up the Runner Ups gear app? But wait there's more...then their employees lied when questioned about it... ..were there any warnings by ELLERSLIE's management or sackings for not following the required Starting Manual procedures...yea na ...oh yea...the RIU slapped the Starters wrist...ouchy ouchy obtusey
  16. He's posted 6 years of figures indicating the need for what he suggested they do.... Have YOU READ ANYTHING YET...or do I have to post all links?? The RBH has absolutely nothing to do with our present situation...it improved our dire straits But then we had the massive influx of ridiculous SW& f all Penalty races that helped aging Geldings no end... ...to the detriment of Punting friendly Handicaps
  17. Obviously not...go away to bed and read it...or you just enjoy making ill informed statements?
  18. 0.5 kgs is having that much affect eh? Wake up... without a RBH system we'd be in dire straits Have you read...ANYTHING yet?
  19. Seriously? A 0.5kg in 'your' World is sfa of 5/8 of f all though.... =? You tell moi...when it gets to infinitesimal I'm totes lost He identified the problem to a tee...Mares were having trouble getting through the classes...what I said RBH is perfect for that process...and it's working
  20. As I say...read the Handicapping guide..do you want the link? Then go on to read the review we had... Read and learn From the statistical information included it is difficult to justify the decision to have a reduced fillies and mares allowance in the handicap events. The figures suggest that the female sex are not dominating any class of race save for the recently introduced Rating 70 set weight events where the age and sex allowance is incorporated within the actual race condition weight. An interesting fact contained within the statistics is the anomaly in the ratio between the male and female sexes as the quality of races increase. If there are a significant number of colts being sold on and thus reducing the overall pool of that sex, then why are the females not dominating the horse pool number wise at all levels of competition? This can only suggest that the fillies and mares are not competitive under the current structure or there are lack of programming options that ensure connections can see reason for keeping their fillies and mares in training. It is apparent that the mares unlike other regions are unable to collate a significant number of wins in New Zealand, whilst competitive at the one and two win level, unless stakes performed, opportunity soon decreases and as the quality of competition increases to success rate of the mares decline. On reviewing the differentials between the mare pools within Australia and New Zealand it is noticeable that the better performed fillies and mares in Australia win significantly more races. This fact cannot be denied, to assist the breeding platform an increase in opportunity for this sex must be considered.
  21. Of course and G 1 placed maidens...into the NEXT grade BUT NOT THROUGH TO OPEN CLASS...as you want 'pure' Handicapping bliss...where inexperienced 2-3 start 3yo's get hammered by older hardened 20 start Geldings..off the same 'handicap'
  22. So BB HONG gets 10 days for a whipping frenzy last Saturday... ...Stipe Oathey counted 30 Strikes and then threw his hands in the air... If only BB had have been able to count like Parkes can...where he knows how to manipulate the 'system' of 5 on 5 off... ...so he can frenzy whip 33 times..and get off scot free.. Brilliant rule RIU... #nofinidea
  23. So Godber gets on FOXNEWS ZB and tells the sceptical non racing population that it's all tickety boo and we have all sorts of the "renouned for being the best in the World" stuff in place... ...to manage deaths No Mickey...that's for injuries Reducing the Jumping death tolls includes having far safer fences with optimal colour ranges that horses can actually sight....which is what the British research uncovered...and we've ignored Any non racing person seeing the Rotorua death where the Rodgerson horse was catapulted into the air after being hit mid ships would re-coil in horror... Try telling Generation Z it's part of the 'love' that horses enjoy post flat racing and they'll look at you dumbstruck...
  24. Have you even read the NZ Handicapping guide? The IDEAL system for NZ's decreasing population is clearly this one...rubber stamped by our neighbors By treating all horses as 4yo Males the transparency of the system is clear for all to see and plan for... These other clowns want a system that includes a neddy putting in a Phar Lap type performance first up...going straight to Open class... ..where owners have no chance of working progressively through the Grades... Thatll go down well with the likes of Jelly Williams trying to educate inexperienced horses into a long career won't it?
